  Didn’t play these games, but I do remember reading magazine reviews making fun of how bad they supposedly were. This video is way more informative about how it actually plays than those reviews were.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do people claim they know of but really don't?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They claim to know that words are being used wrongly, but they don’t know that if someone claims the words they are using mean some particular thing, that person is right, because that is what they meant by those words.

  For example, Freedom of Speech is often used as a synonym for Freedom of Expression, which is the idea that an open environment for public discussion is valuable to society and merits some kind of respect or protection, legal or otherwise. Instead of arguing that an open environment for public discussion is not worth having or otherwise necessary or preferable to do without, people sometimes instead try to make the accusation that people who are pro-free-expression are stupid because of not understanding what words mean.

  People are advising about choosing a career and interests, but I think it’s a good idea to start by thinking about your relationship to the economy and capitalism and how you want to contend with it. Are you ok with working for the rest of your life? What types of work would you be able to tolerate or be able to enjoy, if any? What are your preferences and priorities with regards to how you are perceived, standard of living, family aspirations, financial security, where you will live? What advantages or disadvantages do you already have going for you? If you aren’t sure of these things about yourself, how could you find out? It’s worth trying new things to learn about the world.

  This stuff is important, because there is more than what type of work you end up doing to what the shape of your life will be like.

  I have gotten an ISP copyright letter for a book torrent before I was using VPN for torrenting, it happens. Not DMCA though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone actually believe this "rogue AI" nonsense?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The current examples of it happening are questionable, but I think less contrived rogue AI incidents are likely to have a lot of impact at some point in the future, and see no reason why this would not be possible. Would really prefer that to a world where they work exactly how these companies want them to and it doesn’t blow up in their face tbh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I think its pretty weird how so many lemmites proudly declare that they are blocking each other all the time over the smallest of things.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It does, some styles of rhetoric basically require a context of contentious argument, especially if they revolve around mockery/bullying and contempt for reasoned debate, so depriving them of your actual and apparent attention is the best you can do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bill Gates: People saying AI will create more jobs don’t understand what’s coming⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
  Transcript:

  Interviewer: So tell me about why you think AI really will take jobs away from human beings at a significant scale. Bill Gates: Yeah, so there’s no doubt to date, AI has created more jobs than it’s destroyed. The demand for the skill sets even just to build the data centers is very, very high. We have a, you know, a reasonably low unemployment rate. The superiority of these systems is subject to a threshold where you have to believe that it’s incredibly reliable. And if you’re going to have your tele-sales or tele-support capability be AI-driven, you want to make sure that its accuracy is better than humans. And so the only profession we’ve truly crossed over that threshold is coding. And even there, I know a lot of people who are, you know, kind of stuck in the past and, you know, don’t want to use the AI for coding. But managers of coders get that most applications can be developed very inexpensively. We will, in the next few years, cross over those thresholds for accounting, legal work, tele-sales, tele-support where 24 hours a day in every language with infinite trivia capability and no urgency, you know, so you look at the AI nurse and their several companies. They have perfect memory. [Interviewer briefly clarifies something here, I removed this part because the autotranscription didn’t handle it well] You know, you go to San Francisco and ask people, do you rather ride in a Waymo or rather ride with the human driver? Go ask people in the UK who use limbic for mental health support. You know, so the notion that just the market demand preference for driving or the nurse, you know, or even the person on the phone will favor humans. That’s a quality threshold which will be passed through, you know, if say insurance companies are still doing human claims, medical claims, which is a very AI-capable task, then a competitor who has very few human employees will come in and change the pricing model for that industry.

  I think robot customer support will always suck because whatever it is you need from the company, they don’t actually want to bother with you. Don’t think I’ve ever made a phone call because I needed “trivia capability”. It won’t be good because they won’t give it access or authority to actually help anyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Recently, people have used AI to release sub mods of SFO: Grimhammer III that work with updated versions of the main, Creative Assembly-developed video game

  This is not enough information, what does it even mean? The original mod does not work with newer versions of the game for some reason? What’s the motivation for the mods-of-the-mod? Seems like important context that is missing.

  tests that found heavy metals above permitted levels in the ants.

  That seems like the bigger issue tbh

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Citizens United was never about helping people⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  np, also technically it is not a law, it’s a court interpretation about what laws the constitution allows en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._FEC

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Citizens United was never about helping people⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  One problem is that it’s a supreme court decision, and the only way to “repeal” those is a constitutional amendment, which requires support of a 2/3 majority of congress, or a new set of supreme court justices to make a new decision, but those are lifetime appointments and so you may have to wait decades for an opportunity. Realistically the only options are workarounds because a literal repeal has a very high barrier that’s unlikely to be overcome even with a very successful mass popular movement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was the actual reason for the crusade against NSFW games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wasn’t there also a legal angle to this? I seem to remember that payment providers had some potential concern about legal liability and were painting with a broad brush to avoid it, though I don’t remember exactly what laws would have been relevant

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Amazon Busts Unions, in Its Own Words⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Reading this makes it sound like even in places with decent labor laws, it’s not enough because this highly organized conspiracy of deep surveillance, emotional manipulation, and the implied threat of withdrawing business entirely from an area rather than negotiate with a union is very effective regardless.

  A game being announced for years in the future and all they have to show is a cinematic screams vaporware to me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is touch starved⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  One time I was in a really cramped airport shuttle van seated between two attractive guys, I was very uncomfortable at first, but after thinking it through realized it was because it felt really nice and I was uncomfortable with that. So since I had no choice anyway I decided to just relax and enjoy it until we got to the airport.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Post and user deleted after finding out Ai was used⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s understandable to not want to disclose AI use if you’re facing harassment over it, but pushing a marketing narrative about the skill of the artist behind the game at the same time seems deceptive.

  There is more information in the article about which algorithms it does not consider to be algorithms:

  Opt-out options for algorithms would give users the choice to make their social media feeds only feature content from friends and groups they choose to follow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Flock is canceled—and its competitors are profiting⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Given the Snowden leaks, it seems inevitable that if that data is being recorded and collected into the servers of a small number of US companies, that it will end up being used to enable nationwide searches regardless

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon questions the epidemic⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wanted to check if anon was lying, but the only recent numbers I found are on what looks like a website of a conservative think tank with a pronatalist/marriage ideological mission (a little creepy imo). It does reference a cdc survey that seems real as the data source but still a bit sus to me though too much effort to reproduce their work. I’m pretty sure it’s anon’s source of information since it also covers ages 22-34 and they chose that range deliberately:

  We focus here on males and females ages 22-34 because this is the key window in which people tend to marry and start families

  And the other numbers that I looked at seem to match up. If I’m being paranoid I’d wonder if anon is actually their intern doing social media propaganda campaigns.
