Alright. I think I’ve had enough Lemmy for today. Don‘t wanna get too depressed before lunch.
- Comment on Nintendo lawyers want to force Discord to reveal Pokémon Teraleak source 21 hours ago:
And there is really no reason to trust it whatsoever. It might feel secluded but in the end of the day, even your „private“ chats are essentially an open forum thread in the technical and legal sense because Discord is basically that: A huge, public forum where everything you say is a public statement. There is no privacy on Discord because that‘s simply not what it‘s for.
- Comment on Advanced OpenAI models hallucinate more than older versions, internal report finds 1 day ago:
They shocked the world with GPT 3 and cling to that initial success ever since with increasing recklessness and declining results. It‘s all glue on pizza from here.
- Comment on China's latest flying car prototype showcases a breakthrough in urban air mobility, offering a glimpse into how low-altitude flight could soon integrate with everyday transport. 3 days ago:
A lot of posts here lately are kind of silly ideas that China tries to sell as the next big thing because it‘s cyberpunk. We should be more cautious about these stories.

Jesus F. Christ the BS that gets posted and upvoted in this community is getting more ridiculously Chinese propagandist by the day. Freaking air taxis? Really? Germany has like a dozen of those dumpster fire startups that chew up subsidies like it‘s no tomorrow (because for them there really isn‘t).
- Comment on China scientists develop flash memory 10,000× faster than current tech 4 days ago:
It‘s likely BS anyway. Maybe it’s just me but reading about another crazy breakthrough from China every single day during this trade war smells fishy. Because I‘ve seen the exact same propaganda strategy during the pandemic when relations between China and the rest of the world weren‘t exactly the best. A lot of those headlines coming from there are just claims about flashy topics with very little substance or second guessing.
- Comment on Almost 19% of Japanese people in their 20s have spent so much money on gacha they struggled with covering living expenses, survey reveals - AUTOMATON WEST 4 days ago:
There‘s a bitter irony in demanding parents doing their jobs because that‘s exactly why they don‘t have time for parenting. The cost of living is too damn high.

but I’d be surprised if gacha even made up half of the spending SMBC is reporting on here.
I wouldn‘t. Gacha is vastly more popular in Japan than PC gaming and it‘s not even close. It would seriously surprise me if mobile Gacha didn‘t make up the majority of spending in microtransactions.

Funny thing is I know more women playing these games than I know dudes. Which of course does not reflect player statistics. I know that. But it‘s probably more popular with women than you would think based on character designs. I think it has a lot to do with cutesy Japanese pop culture that‘s appealing to a lot of people. There‘s a reason many Chinese and Korean games are copying it recently.

There isn‘t much of a contradiction there, I think. People complaining about it are mostly from an entirely different culture than where Gacha slop is developed and most popular. The former being the western world and the latter being South East Asia and players who have a deep fascination for it.

That horror scenario has been floating around since the announcement of the murderous tin can. And let me just tell you despite everything I am glad there hasn‘t been a serious attempt at remaking this classic in this timeline thus far.

Doxxing made easy. Oh isn‘t the internet a wonderful place? I mean who needs 4Chan when we have ChatGPT, Facebook and Xitter…

Xitter. The proper term is Xitter.

Who still thinks the South Chinese Morning Post is a legit source after what happened to Hong Kong needs a reality check.

I downvoted it because I don‘t want to read the same old nows every day here.
- Comment on Open Source AI Definition Erodes the Meaning of “Open Source” 6 days ago:
You would think that but even here on the Fediverse where many users have an affection for technology and are generally vary of AI, I‘ve seen people gobbling up the Open Source label when the model was open weights at best.

„Hey let‘s destroy this thing! It’s in my way and it‘s not perfect anyway!“
Hearing a lot of that rhetoric being thrown around lately. Especially by elites. It‘s like everyone suddenly wants to destroy things left and right, thinking it‘s in the way of something greater. What that something greater is? Not their concern.
I guess when your only tool is a hammer every problem really starts to look like a nail.
- Comment on China has stopped exporting rare earths to everyone, not just the U.S., cutting off critical materials for tech, autos, aerospace, and defense 1 week ago:
That‘s their default, though. It’s not the first time they‘re acting up as an unreliable business partner. I mean they bought all those rare earth mines across the globe for a reason and it‘s not to just stick it to the USA. They‘re both bullies.

Also a shady image to the point some people who have only heard of it think it‘s some deep web voodoo. They have that in common somehow.

- Comment on OpenAI is reportedly developing its own X-like social media platform | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
That seems very counter productive. Isn‘t the entire point if a chatbot to replace and by that destroy social interaction? Of course the whole idea is to collect your data to train AI but that pitch seems insanely unattractive to potential users.
- Comment on DeepSeek and chip bans have supercharged AI innovation in China. 1 week ago:
DeepL works pretty good without word salad and it‘s getting better every day. I also don‘t think the Chinese market cares all that much about it.
LLMs will surely remove entry level coders… and some years from now there will be too little senior devs to debug it all. Some see a quick way around a problem, I see a problem in the making.
As for the last part: „Useless“ is what you said, not me. It surely isn‘t as useful as it‘s sold and that writing piece is a prime example for that. The point stands that it‘s sinfully expensive to develop despite what they claim so they need to sell it no matter what it takes. It‘s mainly their incentive and dishonesty I am criticizing.
- Comment on DeepSeek and chip bans have supercharged AI innovation in China. 1 week ago:
Practical applications for LLMs such as? Sorry, but we’ve leaped through this cycle of the next ChatGPT revolution, followed by the next GPT killer, followed by the whole technology being overhyped anyway too many times. It‘s weird to see OpenAI being portrayed as this big villain but it‘s a triumph when others do it.
Truth is they spent much more than they claimed on this and want a return on investment by aggressively pushing it into applications that don‘t need it. It‘s the same old tale every time.
