They’re called sperm whales because of the spermaceti organ, which is probably used to make them loud as fuck, and which contains a liquid which whalers mistook for sperm.

But we made bananas (and most other fruits) the way they are!
Fucking good for nothing gods, always taking credit for things we humans did all by ourselves…

Noo, the Bagger 288 is designed to fight off godzillas and doom robots from the future!
Any incidental global destruction is mere completely unintended collateral damage.

Explain how protein folding software, which predates “genAI” by decades and has as many similarities with it as with Tetris, has anything to do with this conversation.

- Comment on Gamers Are Overwhelmingly Negative About Gen AI in Video Games, but Attitudes Vary by Gender, Age, and Gaming Motivations. 1 week ago:
No, laziness is good. Laziness begets engineering.
The issue is that “generative AI” (which is neither generative nor intelligence) is built upon the stolen works of countless artists.
The issue is that it consumes massive amounts of resources and energy to produce mediocre results at best.
The issue is that it threatens the livelihood of whole segments of society, especially the ones who contribute the most to human culture.
The issue is that it’s not sustainable. Once it runs out of new content to plagiarize it will be unable to produce anything new. It can’t replace what it’s destroying.
The issue is that it’s so vastly inefficient that the data centres needed to sustain it are becoming a major contributor to global warming.
The issue is that its bubble is causing massive price increases in consumer computer parts.
The issue is that when it pops it’ll take the rest of the economy with it.
The issue is that it’s a gateway drug. It’s being sold at a loss to destroy the human competition, and will inevitably increase massively in price once it’s become a necessary part of everyone’s process.
The issue is that it’s being forced everywhere regardless of its uselessness for the task, replacing technologies that were actually useful and making everything less useable and more inefficient.
The issue is that it’s making everything less reliable, and will inevitably cause massive damage and loss of life.
The issue is that LLM use has been demonstrated to cause brain damage, yet they elude regulation and the companies selling them have yet to face consequences.
The issue is that all of this makes it an existential threat to humanity, and a significant contributor to the ones we were already facing.
The issue is that, once you’ve taken into account all the pros and cons, doing everything possible to ensure it ceases to exist as soon as possible in any way, shape, or form, together with the companies selling it and the CEOs responsible for them and any politicians and investors enabling them, becomes an evident moral and ethical imperative.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 week ago:
Smartphones are actually useful, and don’t have the moral, ethical, economic, societal, and existential issues that “generative AI” (which is neither generative nor intelligence) has.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 week ago:
Of course not, but I think not supporting those that use it to produce something you want to enjoy doesn’t necessarily imply not enjoying what they produce, as long as it’s not too thoroughly damaged by their use of it and as long as it can be obtained in ways that won’t support them.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 week ago:
Yes. Shit’s buggy enough as it is, infect it with this crap and it’s outright malware.

Good. Burn both companies to the ground. Set them as an example.
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 week ago:
Brain rot, job destruction, increased inequality, massive acceleration in global warming, massive decrease in the quality of critical systems, societal and economic collapse…
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 week ago:
Nah, just pirate the stuff.
If they don’t give a fuck about original creators, why should we give a fuck about paying them?
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 1 week ago:
They didn’t use it for placeholders (which wouldn’t excuse them anyway, if you want a placeholder you can pay an artist to make it).
They got caught using it in production and came up with the placeholder excuse (which no one who’s ever seen a placeholder texture would fall for) on the spot, throwing the QA team under the bus to try to cover what is clearly a systemic problem with the company.

it just didn’t display it
Wait, what? From what I remember CRT monitors might display something weird when set to an unsupported resolution or refresh rate… scrolling partial lines and whatnot… but they wouldn’t go black…
- Comment on Whatever happened to the days when shit just...worked? 2 weeks ago:
Eh, it was fine once you got your autoexec.bat configured with the proper IRQs and whatnot, and telling DOS to load in high memory, and set up to ask you on boot if you wanted extended or expanded memory (and knew which one the software you wanted to run needed, but, I mean, just RTFM like a normal person, we at least had good manuals back then!), and which drivers you really needed to waste memory on…

Capital. We should gather all the bananas and return them to the owner (just leave them on their doorstep).

Biggest issue is that said admins are the lemmy devs. .ml is their test instance.
