The project is real, but it’s a mismanaged catastrophe.

It’s basically what happens when you have a project with overly understanding financiers, an overly ambitious creative head, and absolutely no concern whatsoever for avoiding scope creep.

Kind of amazing really. I can imagine in centuries past an architect becoming the personal favourite of a king so he just keeps making the palace he’s tasked to build more and more extravagant since the king keeps giving him more money endlessly.

I have a really old account from man years ago (probably payed $50ish for it). I want the same experience - just mostly vibing around in a ship.

Sometime during covid I had time on my hands so I installed it, logged back in. Tried to get into my ship and a glitched basically got me stuck in the door of the ship. Also couldn’t die. Just stuck there . Restarted the game and tried again. Got stuck in the same spot.

Closed the game and uninstalled. I’ll check back in a few more years lol.

Gotham chess has a video of making chatgpt play chess against stockfish. Spoiler: chatgpt does not do well. It plays okay for a few moves but then the moment it gets in trouble it straight up cheats. Telling it to follow the rules of chess doesn’t help.

This sort of gets to the heart of LLM-based “AI”. That one example to me really shows that there’s no actual reasoning happening inside. It’s producing answers that statistically look like answers that might be given based on that input.

For some things it even works. But calling this intelligence is dubious at best.

Congrats guys you found a way to make a dating app with an even more skewed sex ratio.

Aren’t you a pedophile or am I thinking of someone else?

Probably, and I’ll denounce and blame them for this just the same. My moral compass is that copyright shouldn’t exist to begin with.

Cool but that issue is not in play here. That is not even close to a mainstream position and none of the actual players in this are working towards that outcome. Taking one side of this on that basis is silly.

He doesn’t have the balls to ask that question of Israel.

You should tell these companies then, because after pirating all the copyrighted information they will absolutely push for IP protections for AI output.

What you’re saying is true in general but it works pretty well and for a fairly long time in door hinges.

Hey, wooden sticks are a legit way to make life decisions. Source: Yojimbo.

Not a direct answer and this video is out of date with current events, but the background on the current state of El Salvador is worth knowing: https://youtu.be/WtkI-QAgM6w

“national security”. On Facebook. Okay guys. A better title would be "Zuck offered to completely legally sell their data (yes it’s their’s , read the ToS) to China in a completely legal bid to gain entry into China. It’s not even alleged that he broke any laws.

The real problem is that the US doesn’t have any digital data privacy laws, so ToSs for these services can contain whatever the host wants, and they can do whatever they want with the data. But that will never happen.

When you have government officials saying they want to default on the “risk free” bonds it undermines markets in a completely unprecedented way.

Shockingly stupid.

That last statement accurately describes the constituents of those government officials and large swathes if the American electorate. The fact that it’s politically viable to muse about these things is so fucking idiotic . So many Americans owe their safe and prosperous lives to things of which they are completely ignorant.

It still amazes me that all of those investors and endorsers were so dazzled by her sales pitch that nobody bothered to actually get confirmation of any of the technical details. They just believed…that’s it.

Someone somewhere is already asking whether a CEO’s job can be done by AI.

Private equity is salivating over the idea of running his carefully built brand into the groundmaximizing value extraction from steam.

The current meta here is that things like brand loyalty and reputation are not really worth preserving, and are only as good as whatever short-term gains you can squeeze out of them.

I wonder if someone with gif skills can make one of the final scene in that movie where Bond is standing there waiting for the missiles to hit and one missile is tariffs , another is the next pandemic, and another is a breakdown of the geopolitical world order.

I wish I had the skill but I don’t.

None of the supporters of this are going to read any of that.

They’ll have it lobotomized in a few days.

Okay but have you ever tried just throwing genAI at the problem and not caring about the consequences?
