Oh, wow! I played Mario 64 on one of those, on a Nintendo 64 imported from Japan before they released in the USA. Memories…

They could be made about any technology. Everything is a tool, that can be used for good or evil, by good or evil people, with good or evil intent, with costs and sacrifices. AI is no different, but it’s popular to hate on it because it’s so disruptive. It’s like when automobiles were invented. Or computers. Or the Internet.
People resisting AI are luddites. Dictionary definition, not hyperbole, condescension or disparagement. Just fact.

But of course, but your reaction to your environment is itself a product of your genetics. So it is an inseparable combination. You can’t disregard the nurturing, and it has an effect, but it is modulated by your biology, determining your reaction, response, and how it changes you going forward, so inescapably the underlying driver is genetics.

Possibly. If the genes that cause you to get satisfaction from taking care of others, that would cause you to gravitate towards nursing. If your instinctual reaction to deformity, illness or bodily fluids outweighs that disposition, then you’d be less likely to be a nurse.
Your reactions to sights, sounds, smells, etc are not choices, right? You can be self aware and modulate your response, but the underlying reaction is determined everyday by your biological coding. Hence your genetics can lead you towards or push you away from careers based on your individual disposition as determined by your genetics.

Because of genetics.

It’s popular here to date AI. Everyone wants to be in the club, to feel included. It’s a hive mind demonstration.

It’s the same reason I regularly hand out death threats to people eating meat, driving cars, and creasing the corners of books as a bookmark. It’s imperative that they know I’m judging them, and I’m really important, so they need to be threatened with death on the regular for not agreeing with me.

Oh! Gotcha. She was “at your back.” Sorry for the unintended criticism, I assumed it was a typo I was teasing about.

Another benefit is slightly longer lifespan as the heart doesn’t need to work as hard for blood to travel as much distance.

- Comment on Nvidia's DLSS 5 Is a Slap in the Face to the Art of Video Game Design 2 months ago:
I don’t think that’s possible unless the LLM has access to the satellite to mile ratio. Likely an hallucination.
It did. The screenshot was from Google Maps which had the scale in the corner. I tried searching for a Google Maps plugin that offered the same functionality, but I couldn’t find any that would let me free form draw a shape on the map. So I took a screenshot, drew a red shape, and gave it to Gemini. It showed me all the steps it was going through, the math looked legit and seemed realistic to me.
Stealing from artists 🙄
How is it stealing from an artist? No artist created it. This is even less like stealing than downloading pirated films. In both cases, no one lost anything. Are you arguing that had I not had access to generative AI that I would have sought out and paid someone to craft a wallpaper for me? I would not have. I’d just use some free art online. Where is the theft? Are you saying someone, somewhere already created my exact wallpaper? Shall I upload it, and you can tell me where it already exists and I could have purchased it?
Art is not about talent, it’s about continuous, rigorous training and improvement over years.
Yes, time. I don’t have those years. I spent my years studying machine learning instead.

And? They’re still tools. They exist. They can be used for things other than fascism. Just today I used an LLM to determine the area of a plot of land from a satellite photograph. I used generative AI to create a phone wallpaper background that matched my phone case.
Did the fascists gain power over me?
Do you think it have been better if I spent my time manually measuring the area, determining the math, and calculating the area of land? Should I have made an inferior version of the wallpaper manually?
If you think so, you must have more time and creative talent than me. Enjoy your privilege, but don’t shame those without.

Some, yes, not all. No one company created the technology. You can’t use a blanket accusation to condemn all forms of machine learning just because Altman (OpenAI), Zuckerberg (Meta) and Elon Musk are obvious fascists, and they’re championing the technology. Call them out specifically, it’s more effective than “all AI bad.”
- Comment on Jensen Huang says gamers are 'completely wrong' about DLSS 5 — Nvidia CEO responds to DLSS 5 backlash 2 months ago:
Don’t bother. Lemmy is host to an irrational, angry mob. There’s plenty of good reasons to be angry but the mob is hyper focused on any form of machine learning because they can’t understand it, and that breeds fear, frustration and anger faster than the the easily understandable institutes of corruption actually enslaving them. AI is a big, easy target - it will continue to be hated until the generations that hate it die out. Same as happened prior with the Internet, phones, and even cars.
Although, there’s a FuckCars community, so maybe the mindset will cling on by adherents perpetuating their hate beyond their lifespans. Just like racism.
- Comment on Nvidia's DLSS 5 Is a Slap in the Face to the Art of Video Game Design 2 months ago:
I disagree with multiple assertions you’ve made. It doesn’t steal anything. Neither does it have a goal. People using it may steal, and those with the most successful products may have goals - but that’s not the technology. This is like saying guns are fascist. Or cars are fascist. Or phones are fascist.
It’s a tool, and like any tool, the motive and ethics of it’s use is directly attributable to the user, not the tool.

See, that’s what I’m talking about! What a unique, weird experience it would be to play this game if everything was hyper realistic. Like walking through a carnival mirror house.

Lol. I am as far from fascist as one can get. Based on your answer, I don’t believe you even know what fascism is.

“Point” is a matter of opinion. That may be the point to you, or to an artist, but it’s not universal. The point, to others, may be novelty of experience.

I’d counter that people who think others must think as they do are mentally ill.
“You can’t appreciate that! It offends me, and therefore must be banned. NO ONE can enjoy it. All must think as I do.”
That’s what the people in this thread sound like to me.

Exactly, so if we want to see what it could look like if it were remade, this technology would be the only really option. It’s certainly more likely than an army of volunteers dodging C&D orders while donating their free time to construct a fan remake.
