We need to protect children, we wouldn’t want random adults talking about pornography to kids on social media

Von Neumann gave me an interesting idea: that you don’t have to be responsible for the world that you’re in. So I have developed a very powerful sense of social irresponsibility as a result of von Neumann’s advice. It’s made me a very happy man ever since. - Richard Feynman
Mostly that. I accept the world is shit. I try make my little corner of it better. I try not to support what’s making it worse. I accept I’m not an acetic, worse I’m a hedonist, so I will be making it worse.
I accept these things. I vote left, I donate, I abstain to a tolerable level of discomfort.
I could be doing better, I eat meat, I still get things from Amazon. I drive cars/motorcycles as a hobby.

You’ll have to forgive me too. I fell into a bit of a poe’s law.
I’m not “AI bad” and “AI bad” has been acting real crazy lately so it didn’t seem out of character for an AI bad person to say ecco the dolphin, by virtue of having no AI is saving the world. The game still took power and resources to develop. Not only isn’t it saving the planet, regardless of AI, it’s harming it.
I am however “Corporation bad”, so I was doubly overly sensitive. 1st someone was saying some perceived AI bad silliness. 2nd they were also saying that the corporation was saving the planet with the AI bad silliness. You got your knee jerk though.
Unless you were telling me the plot of ecco, and yeah I suppose, but that’s a bit out of context.
Sorry to preempt your punch line. Joke wasn’t missed, just unappreciated. My bad.

If genAI is a tool, can you tell me what exactly it is that it does?
“What do you mean I said it dont know what it does” - person who asked what it does.
That assumption?

“It’s about saving the world” - keenflame.
It isn’t about saving the world. It’s about marketing. Unless you were telling me the plot of ecco, and yeah I suppose but that’s a bit out of context.

Listening to marketeers do their thing. Have we not learned our lesson yet. They’ll say whatever it is to sell their game.
Let them make it. Let them release it. Find out if it’s something you want to buy. Buy it. “Save the world” why would anyone volunteer to carry water for them?

The developer – whose credits also include Chakan: The Forever Man, Kolibri, Mr. Bones and Three Dirty Dwarves – has previously been quite vocal about his support of tech such as Web3, AI and LLMs (Large Language Models) in video games.
His LinkedIn profile states that one of his “near-term” goals is to “create an AI system to generate ergodic game content.” His current company, PLAYCHEMY, lists “gamification of AI models, Stable Diffusion, LLM, and NeRF” as some of its primary areas of interest.

The point of learning long division is so you understand it. Once you understand it, THEN you can use the calculator.
That wasn’t my experience of learning long division. Not a lot of time was spent on understanding the process. A lot of time was spent on repetition, repetition, repetion until it was wrote. The division button on the calculator was faster, easier and gave more accurate results.
No. The corollary of my luddite argument is that tools are tools. Attacking the tools don’t work to solve systemic problems.
If genAI is a tool, can you tell me what exactly it is that it does?
See post for one example of students using it as a tool.
See, the “AI bad” people are funny. In a post about how people are actually using GenAI as a tool to achieve their goals “If genAI is a tool, can you tell me what exactly it does”?
It is a shame the airways a late clogged with this nonsense instead of how the wealthy are using tools, any tools, to concentrate wealth.

I didn’t really say AI bad,
Implying GenAi gives wrong answers isn’t saying AI bad?
If you ask AI the same question twice you get 2 answers, different AIs give different responses, different prompts, different people, different geography.
That’s true of people too, and we trust them to do all sorts of things. Ask 20 people what happens after you die, how many answers are you getting? Not just that ask any technical question, ask 4 beekeepers the best way to do a thing and you’ll get 5 answers.
GenAI is a tool, if you try use it to hammer in nails you’re gonna have a bad time. Don’t try use it to hammer in nails.
It turns out wrote answers to wrote questions is something it does fairly well, and it’s still getting better. That’s good, as a society we’ve moved past wrote answers to wrote questions. We should now prepre kids for the society they are going to grow up in, one with GenAI. Critical thinking is something it does fairly poorly, critical thinking is something we do fairly poorly, let’s teach that.
Beyond academics, shitty throwaway art is something it can also do fairly well. Just want an image use GenAi, want a master piece get a human. You already do this, how many of your clothes are handmade? Used a milliner recently? The Luddites taught us a lesson, attacking looms don’t work.
I hope I was the last generation to spend hours on long division with quotes of “you won’t always have access to a calculator”. Those that go into fields where long division may be useful should learn it, the rest of us have calculators.
- Comment on A generation taught not to think: AI in the classroom 2 weeks ago:
Nah I grew up with the “you won’t always have a calculator in your pocket” crowd.
If AI gets everything wrong then students using it to offload their thinking will get failing grades. AI getting everything wrong is a self solving problem.

It’s good that students are using ai to cheat then. Very easy to detect as the answers are wrong.

Worked for the dotcom bubble. It blew up and we were left with corporate hellscape internet, not so/interesting independent internet, and the dark web.
AI will blow up leaving a few massive players, the Google/Facebook/etc equivalent. Some independent people doing interesting and not so interesting things. And a dark web.

No notes, that’s awesome!!!
I have zero intention of getting into 3d printing or back yard casting. But it’s cool that intersection has products.
- Comment on genius 3 weeks ago:
That cutter is fucking art. The blades we ran had a ceramic core. Then the wax mould over the ceramic. Lose the wax, cast, then beat the shit out of it till the ceramic comes out the blade, now there are cooling channels built into the cast. Complex geometries too.
I was asking why the blades needed a ceramic coating before going into the turbine. Surely we could just heat treat the blades to whatever hardness required.
I was then informed that inside turbines it’s so hot the Hydrocarbons split up to free Hydrogen ions and the left over. The ceramic is there because it’s a highly acidic environment.
Actually that story is my go to “how to mentor story”. I asked why we coated the blades in ceramics. The engineer told me it was really hot in there and just waited for me to twig. I didn’t, then he said it was so hot hydrocarbons break up into free hydrogen and the rest, and then waited. Then I caught on, I have no doubt if I hadn’t then he would have said “free Hydrogen is the literal definition of an acid” and waited. Then “Acid eats metals like titanium alloys” wait. “Then Acid doesn’t eat ceramics” wait. I genuinely try to lead people to answers that way just because the way he made my dumbass feel like the smartest tool in the room. Actually, I asked why we pre finished the blades to near mirrors just to acid etch them dull again, and was told it was for the ceramic coating.

Is fine. Didn’t think I’d TIL on a shitpost comm, but you sent me down a wikihole. Always fun

It was me kinda implying it. Just making a shit posting comment in a shit post community.
- Comment on genius 3 weeks ago:
Just a Lemmy shitpost comment, don’t think about it too hard Sure fine sand and a runny plaster, ceramic capture detail. But you still bulk it out with rougher stuff to give the mold heft.
Maybe not cement. But I also wouldn’t recommend doing back yard casting for Life critical parts if you’re asking what your detail capturing materials should be and what your bulking out materials should be.

Those orphans aren’t orphans any more… Progress.
Real talk I cast turbine blades for IGT and Aerospace (not an engineer, just a floor worker). It was my impression that inside those turbines is an incredibly hostile environment, and still we cast them. We did some single crystal stuff for the really demanding parts. Is cast metal really that flawed?
- Comment on genius 3 weeks ago:
3d print part. Finish 3d printed part. Cast the print in cement. Burn the plastic out the new mold. Fill mold with the alloy of your choice. Congrats, many 1000s spent on furnace materials for a 1.5k part.
- Comment on I’m not saying that I agree with right- or center-wing views, and I do condemn transphobia. However, do you think there should be a distinction between critiquing beliefs held by transgender people, and engaging in transphobia? 3 weeks ago:
I guess a third position is then that “gender is meaningless, but just play along”.
Thrice you’ve asserted gender as meaningless. Twice I’ve shown you it isn’t.
A house isn’t just a building. It’s society that gives the building meaning and power. Turning the construction of brick and glass into a “house”. Society gives the construction “House” meaning, it gives it power, it gives it protection. Just because without society all that meaning falls away, doesn’t mean it doesn’t have meaning at all. It has the meaning society is currently giving it. Now thrice I’ve shown you it isn’t meaningless.
Abolishing the idea of gender entirely seems more rational
Perhaps. It’s probably a good idea to try. If nothing else we can stop using gender to oppress people.
It might turn out that there is a “man” chemical/gene expression/brain structure. All I can tell you is that I am a man. Where my “Manness” comes from be it societal construction, or some biological function I don’t know. I’m comfortable being a man, I’m comfortable being labeled a man, I’m not forced to confront it.
I never said the trans experience was attractive.
I didn’t say you did. I said you said people want to be trans.
