This Russiaphobia is so completely out of fucking control.

It’s a metaphor.

But also, the distinction may become irrelevant: https://www.quantamagazine.org/how-close-are-computers-to-automating-mathematical-reasoning-20200827/

They’re not replicating children’s art. It’s complex art that takes more study to produce. Children learn math, too. Calculators still help.

I don’t see mathematicians pitching a fit that lesser skilled people can use calculators to produce their results. I don’t understand the artists’ complaining that AI allows the lesser skilled people to produce an image of their ideas.

As always, the problem isn’t the tech. The problem is capitalism forcing people into competing with the tech.

I’m fairly certain they misled investors on their last earnings call. I noticed some banned accounts suddenly had their ban lifted right before the call, and then reapplied right after.

On the last investor call, they said they had a lot of returning users. This was after their election ban hammers, and prior to the Luigi ban fest.

Can’t wait to see how they try to spin things on the next one.

This is why I’ve stuck with Emby.

I get why people switched, and I’m open to it eventually, but Emby is much more polished. That’s not to say the Emby clients don’t also crash from time to time.

Ok, John Connor. Maybe chill out a bit.

I understand where a lot of the opposition to AI comes from. I get it. But when you’re so deep in the opposition that you’re saying it’ll never do thing that it’s already doing, you’re obviously just pushing an agenda without facts backing it up.

This is like arguing calculators sully math, because it should be done with an abacus.

Respect.

No need to discuss it in future tense. There’s already mods that incorporate AI into Skyrim NPC’s. It’s impressive as hell.

I’m imagining a sci-fi spin on this where AI generators are used to keep AI crawlers in a loop, and they accidentally end up creating some unique AI culture or relationship in the process.

It’s not the tool that’s the problem. It’s the capitalists controlling it.

The luddites didn’t oppose technology just for the sake of it. They opposed the use of it to displace workers. And there is absolutely a role for AI in all this that doesn’t involve anyone losing their jobs, if we can change who is in control of it.

Personally, I’m looking forward to seeing what can be done with the tech to make each person’s experience unique, with bespoke quests and dialogue. Maybe one day playing a game like Skyrim for 10 years doesn’t have to mean playing the same quests over and over. It’ll be cool comparing how our playthroughs differ from each other, as the AI changes the game to suit each person.

Yup. Don’t trust the folks trying to equate bluesky with the fediverse. You can tell by the people who were promoting it that there was something off about it. I suspected honeypot, or maybe just trying to rival Musk to control the conversation.

Can you give me some examples for what’s really all that noticeable?

I understand you don’t feel understood. Perhaps you are not communicating as effectively as you believe you are.

Hmm. So doubling down then.

Just scroll up.

I’ll take a look, but I haven’t noticed any performance issues with Steam link.
