- Comment on ‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefront 7 hours ago:
what seems to “smell” funny more and more lately is that I can’t tell what is a full fledged game I want to play and what is AI/Slop created to jump on a bandwagon. Rimworld. Great game. Are the “rims in space” variants real? Just reskins? Why is everything in instant early access these days?
- Comment on Humans' behavior about LLMs is the same as animals with a mirror: they believe there is "another" in there. It's just their reflexion 2 days ago:
the “mirror stage” by lacan is worth looking into here but no, I don’t think humans automatically think the llm has a sort of reified other, but as we get past an uncanny valley and into generations growing up with entire personal histories in an llm - I can absolutely see that happening.

i don’t leave a job expecting a recommendation for another. so yeah. i give as much notice as i feel would be helpful to my peers. if ive been talking openly about leaving then they already know where my docs and such are.
- Comment on Modern problems require modern solutions 4 days ago:
because if it involves a profit motive it involves exploitation inherent in this motive. to apply that exploitation to a service that provides care for children would mean there is a nonzero chance the place is not prioritizing child care and safety over profit.

- Comment on You must tell me, please! 2 weeks ago:
what might help is if you shifted away from an amount like a billion to a mechanism and class - they are of the capitalist owning classes who exploit because that is how capitalism works. billionaires to millionaires to thousandaires. own and exploit? boom: roasted.

right. and i am glad working class people are happy. but that does not take away from the power dynamic that should not exist to begin with and should be abolished anyway.
the point is - we would feel for them more if the US did not behave the way it does. i don’t like or want dictators- Maduro and Trump alike.
the US should NOT try to police the world.

i’m saying thanks to the power dynamic here (think: “exploitation or stuff HR would frown at…”) - the dynamic existing means the folks cheering in the street cannot be considered truly cheering. it can only be considered, at best, an example of consent being manufactured thanks to that ICE enforced power dynamic. 😬
