  You can save your breath, I am with you that corporations try to fuck us over at every turn. If you try to not see a villain in someone disagreeing with you, you could’ve seen that from the beginning.

  There is also no need to put words in my mouth what my argument was, because it is really simple. The statement “I paid for it therefore I own it” is as false as “if I don’t own it after buying, then there is no such thing as piracy”. The question is whether or not games are a service.

  I am probably as pissed off about the hyper-capitalistic encroachment as you are. you should try to not let your emotions impact your reasoning though.

  Pointing out bullshit arguments isn’t defending anyone, it’s just being intellectually honest. Not sure what’s better, you being serious or arguing in bad faith.

  Yeah, no. You buy services all the time, without owning the thing or person providing the service.

  If games are or should be a service is a completely different question. I wholeheartedly think that they are not, but that is irrelevant to the argument. But I can’t stand those polemic phrases that miss the point completely.

  as the comment chain below highlights, autonomous driving AI is completely different from LLMs. Computer vision and control theory have made big improvements because of machine learning, do you despise this too?

  I mean I am a pirate as much as the next guy but this is missing the point. They acknowledge ownership. They just don’t agree that it transfers to you when you buy a game. So that argument gets you nowhere.

  In all your examples there is the ground to provide a counteracting force. Maybe I am misunderstanding what you mean by untethered, but any initial airspeed difference between the wind and your system will eventually vanish and you’ll move along with the surrounding air.

  I co-founded an AWE startup 8 years ago and let me tell you, literature does not support your claim.

  An untethered AWE cannot produce any power

  What a weird hill to die on. Is it about letting people die or about influencers livestreaming?

  What about comms during catastrophies? Small villages or off-grid houses? Remote research installations?

  I swear, Lemmy is becoming more reactionary by the day.

  You are thinking of LLMs, not AI in general.

  Any AI? Every application? What kind of statement is this?

  That’s some weird gatekeeping. Why stop there? Whoever is using a linter is obviously too stupid to write clean code right off the bat. Syntax highlighting is for noobs.

  I full-heartedly dislike people that think they need to define some arcane rules how a task is achieved instead of just looking at the output.

  Accept that you probably already have merged code that was generated by AI and it’s totally fine as long as tests are passing and it fits the architecture.

  So what is intelligence in your general, all-purpose understanding?

  Are newborns intelligent? How about dogs? Ants?

  You may argue that current AI is still behind an average human adult and therefore not intelligent, but academia is a bit more nuanced.
