• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All this bad AI is wrecking a whole generation of gadgets⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, a great percentage of human to human communication is also an attempt to trick each other that we’re intelligent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree that those are reasons people give for their reasoning, but if history has shown anything, we know people change their minds when it becomes most convenient to use a technology.

  Human ethics is highly dependent on convenience, unfortunately.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Right, I’m just saying that this has happened before to the definitions of AI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s all virtue signaling. If it’s good, nobody will be able to notice anyway and they’ll want it regardless. The only reason people shit on AI currently is because expert humans are still far better than it.

  We’re just at that awkward point in time where AI is better than the random joe but worse than experts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah but remember that AI no longer means the what it has meant since the dawn of computing, it now means “I don’t understand the algorithm, therefore it’s AI”.

  Hell, AI used to mean mundane things like A* pathfinding, which is in like, every game ever.

  I’m really tired of the shift in what AI means.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Britain Orders Apple to Build a Backdoor Into Your iPhone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem about a backdoor is anyone can get into it. If you need evidence, please see above.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The new trailer for sandbox strategy game Antimatter shows off the epic scale⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Man that trailer shows like 3 or 4 wildly inconsistent art styles in the game. What’s going on?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Medical Device Company Tells Hospitals They're No Longer Allowed to Fix Machine That Costs Six Figures⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean it’s not crazy to say “you fix it, you assume liability” right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨41% of companies worldwide plan to reduce workforces by 2030 due to AI⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That being said, open weights models have done fairly well standing up close to the closed source ones. As long as the weights are open, and can run on consumer hardware, it will be a democratized tool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Will Track Your Location ‘Every 15 Minutes’—‘Even With GPS Disabled’⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “Will track” is a weird way to say “already does, as is proven by researchers”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man tricks OpenAI’s voice bot into duet of The Beatles’ “Eleanor Rigby”⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They care not during training, but during inference. They censor the outputs hoping to not get sued.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man tricks OpenAI’s voice bot into duet of The Beatles’ “Eleanor Rigby”⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And that reason is copyright.

  I’m ready for copyright to be destroyed. We’re aggressively hamstringing human progress due to it, and I’m not even talking about AI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Families is here⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Use the time honored technique of lying on the birthdate form.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨California Approves Privacy Bill Requiring Opt-Out Tools⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Doing this at a browser level has always been the sensible method, instead of requiring it at the site level.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hobbyists discover how to insert custom fonts into AI-generated images⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Shocking how quickly Flux LoRAs came into play even though the company behind Flux insisted they wouldn’t work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kaspersky offers free security software for six months in U.S. goodbye⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably wise for the US to not allow Russian software in security critical paths like antivirus.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Researchers upend AI status quo by eliminating matrix multiplication in LLMs⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Only for maximum efficiency. LLMs already run tolerably well on normal CPUs and this technique would make it much more efficient there as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨D&D makers also want a Baldur’s Gate 4, but say they won't rush to a sequel (it shouldn't take 25 years, mind)⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The best possible scenario is to hand them Star Wars and say “go make a billion dollars”.

  But honestly I’m happy even if they keep rolling with their own IP.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Streets of Rogue 2 gets a new trailer plus a demo for Steam Next Fest in June⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One of my favorite franchises! It’ll be an instant buy from me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Owners Report Valve’s Priciest Steam Deck Model Has A Cracking Problem⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “I checked mine and it happened to me as well. Oh no,” posted someone else.

  Truly epic tier reporting by Kotaku.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨These shell swaps really do be taking 5 hours⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They ate one or two, as a treat.
