  Uh… you’re misunderstanding what it’s doing. It’s not learning as we use the word.

  It’s figuring out what words probabilistically appear near each other. Like when you use the suggested word at the top of your mobile keyboard. You can write “sentences”, but they often go off the rails.

  They just get fed some keywords and spit back out words it has observed to be near those.

  And no point are LLMs capable of making any analysis or decisions. They cannot perform any thought based work. At best it can copy past shit it’s seen someone else figure out on the Internet. There are very few jobs out there that are entirely devoid of any decision making that these could actually be expected to replace (and have the company continue to function)

  Yeah the AI is lacking the ones its scummy creators claim it has.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good joke.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a US bank only insures your money up to 250k does that mean I have to visit four different back to have a million dollars insured?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re not keeping a million sitting around in cash. Investment accounts have a separate insurance program

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If the tool can’t be consistent in it’s output, it’s not a reliable or worthwhile tool to use.

  There is such a thing as a bad tool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah people making that argument were dumb. Copyright needs to be fixed, not abolished.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, now we’re in the iron age!

  …Where we get to bang two ingots together

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “it’s your fault that it just made up tools that don’t exist” is a bold statement, bro.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony is testing dynamic pricing: one game - different prices on the PlayStation Store⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes.

  But that wasn’t the reasoning that was given.

  I don’t buy from A because I prefer B… Is not a boycott.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony is testing dynamic pricing: one game - different prices on the PlayStation Store⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Preferring a different option is not a boycott of the one

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(serious) What would we be losing in a world where most people didn't own a car? Please read the OP before posting.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People aren’t missing this, they’re noting the very real issue of most people being fucked for a couple of decades while we wait on that infrastructure to be built up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come in American classrooms they make another language an elective. Why not teach our kids as many languages possible that way if we go somewhere we will kind of have uper hand?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  We needed ~“3” levels of language classes to graduate in my school (7th and 8th grade effectively counted as 1 level, so it was really 4 years). You could elect to take extra if you wanted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russell Brand latest: Comedian pleads not guilty to new charges⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I never understood his appeal. He’s just vulgar. It’s not funny. His assurance in a couple otherwise good movies really ruins it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox CEO Asha Sharma shares her gamertag — what it reveals⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah? And how have those reports and metrics been fairing the last generation and a half? Running a creative medium based on metrics is why AAA is in the shitter. How many studio closings are we seeing lately?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox CEO Asha Sharma shares her gamertag — what it reveals⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Knowing your product is part of business…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spray n Pray⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Van Helsing at it again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When DinoCon is doing more than the US Gov⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  He did get his start in education. Given a job he was unqualified for by [traitorous] former AG Bill Barr’s father (who also wrote creepy pedo sci fi novels)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Highguard Developer Makes Layoffs Affecting "Most of the Team", Two Weeks After Launch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a really shitty way to run a business. If the game industry was set up more similar to movies, you could make this argument. But it’s not.

  Game devs desperately need to unionize. Across the board

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For brick and mortar, which has significantly more costs to make up than digital. Which is the entire point of this suit. And steam’s policy requires that no game can be regularly priced cheaper than on their platform - artificially raising prices across the board.

  It’s bizarre seeing everyone here defend steam here just because they don’t like who’s saying it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Quietly Withdraws Under Fire MMO Ashes of Creation From Sale As Fans Wonder Who's Left to Maintain the Servers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lover’s pox

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta progression in roguelites was fun for a while, but it's starting to feel unrewarding⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t like the ones that are meant to be replayed over and over to progress at all.

  I like the ones that are a whole new experience each time. I’m not even sure if these are truly rogue likes, but they get lumped into them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why I gave up electronics club⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But then you have to flip from the left hand rule to the right hand rule!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why I gave up electronics club⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure someone has uploaded some current diagrams…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Certainly complete disarmament of ICE. Their job is investigation misdemeanors. There’s fuck all reason for them to be armed at all.

  You don’t need a gun to investigate paperwork issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought that was only for single digit numbers. Or is that a more recent convention?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It always makes news when the "Doomsday Clock" is moved by a second or minute. What would actually happen if it got to 00:00⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We’d already be in ww3. It’s an indicator, not a mechanism that does anything on its own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Many parents cab probably relate⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Whoosh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda announces a new Fallout... reality show⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They need to finish TES VI before they start on the next fallout. And the “announcement” trailer for that was like 6 years ago

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After Machado Offers Her Nobel, Trump Says It Would Be an ‘Honor’ to Accept It⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The same reason he had fake Times magazine covers of himself made and hung up in his properties years ago

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The college-to-office path is dead: CEO of the world’s biggest recruiter says Gen Z grads need to consider trade and hospitality jobs that don’t even require degrees⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We’ve seen robots struggling to handle picking up boxes for like a decade now. They’re still struggling with that. Tight spaced delicate movements isn’t in the near future, yet.

  Transportation is going to be the first industry majorly replaced by automation, not the trades.
