Agreed, sadly they still meet the definition. As much as it pains me to admit I’m the same species as them.

What the shit is that headline? Humans caused ALL of this! The fucking robots aren’t in charge yet.

Because many people believe any use of gen AI is unethical due to how it was created, in addition to how the people in charge are using it.

In other words, using it in any capacity is a bad look to a lot of creatives. And other rational people who can foresee the devastating impact it’s going to have on art of all types, government, and society at large.

The casual cruelty in that last sentence after talking about altruism was a bit jarring.

Cause most of us have no way to pressure them. What am I going to do, threaten to take away the $0 I’ve paid them over the last 20 years?

But, you know, that’s exactly the reason they don’t care about our whining.

You’re not wrong but Mozilla is real busy making Firefox another bad choice among many bad choices.

Maybe it’s time to go back to BBSes. This whole internet thing kinda sucks now.

This is what I have used for the last few years (after being a Firefox user for almost 2 decades), and yeah we’re probably safe for a little while, but it seems the writing is on the wall. The LibreWolf team can only do so much when the core browser is constantly being enshittified. I hoped this was a flash in the pan thing and LibreWolf would save us until Mozilla regained its senses, but it seems they’ve gone batshit.

I too will be keeping my eyes peeled for what to use next.

Seriously, why is the Diablo sauce so foul? I always get fire sauce because it actually tastes good. But I want it with more heat!

They kinda did this in Strange Days.

Stop. You’re interfering with his sense of superiority.

Something any (real, trained, educated) developer who has even touched AI in their career could have told you. Without a 3 month study.

We all learn from each other bro. You’re doing great, just for the fact you can recognize good advice. We are all imposters. Keep plugging.

Not a showerthought.

Calling someone a liar isn’t a great way to start a discussion.

The arrogance in some of those quotes. Holy shit.

Jensen, you and your entire company could disappear without a trace, today, and the world would be just fine.

Probably better, in fact.

Ground Control (released in 2000) had the coolest artillery units of any RTS I ever played. And I pretty much played them all. The units fired in a long ballistic trajectory that was just really awesome to watch. And IIRC massing the units and firing at a target would make the artillery blanket the area, not all just hit the same place you clicked.

Binary thinking is what got us where we are in politics.

I don’t give a shit about MTX because I ignore all of it, but I quit playing after the nth time I melee’d someone in the back and not get a kill… only to have someone else I’m staring at 20 feet away from me, FACING ME, melee ME in the back and get an instant kill. There’s no excuse for Destiny-like Peer to Peer server garbage from a fucking Halo PvP game.

IF there are algorithms. So still…. nothing proven either way.

Agreed. However the linked article has the same problem with unprovable assumptions. At least in the way they described it to this amateur. The thing that stuck out to me the most was their assertion that everything must be algorithmic in nature. I would say, as someone living in the supposed simulation, it is impossible to determine something we’ve seen or measured is NOT algorithmic in nature, because we have no access to the algorithms.

But yeah… this ain’t a showerhought.
