What else have they done?

Sometimes people try to make a joke and they miss. I don’t think i would assume malice without additional red flags.
It does raise the issue that if you want to use a synth voice for a robot, are people going to skip your game just because of the AI disclosure without reading it? I can understand why they would be nervous about it.

- Comment on Researchers use AI to ‘democratize’ 3D printing of crucial metal alloy 1 week ago:
To clarify the definition of “AI” that they’re referring to: they’re using Bayesian modelling. There’s not a single neural-network in sight in this paper.
It’s actually a great demonstration that you don’t need “AI” and a cluster of expensive GPUs to solve this kind of practical optimisation problem. We’ve had these kind of statistical modelling techniques for decades already.
These kinds of headlines are being used to justify the massive data-centre build out and investment, despite the fact that the amount of computation they needed to do for this paper was just normal number crunching that data scientists have been doing on their laptops since forever.
The paper: https://ojs.aaai.org/index.php/AAAI/article/view/41428/45389
This paper develops a Bayesian Experimental design for AM (aka BEAM) approach
BEAM is inspired by work on active search ( Jiang et al. 2018 )
The referenced paper (Jiang et al 2018) is the best place to read about the method that they used.

Personally for me, the spirit of self-hosting is incompatible with using Cloudflare and Synology services, but I understand that less technical users may prefer commercial services.

That’s a lot of em-dashes.
The author of this article just released a book on this subject. I wonder if it has as many em-dashes as his article.

- Comment on Codeberg bans vibe coded projects 1 month ago:
This is still a problem for OSS licensing, since in order to license a work you need to be the copyright holder.
This might mean that OSS projects find it even more difficult to assert their licenses against violators in court, since they would need to prove that the part of the code that was copied was not AI output.
Banning the output of AI tools in OSS codebases is a sensible move for any project that actually cares about enforcing the license that their code is released under.

- Comment on "I know how devastating it is, and my heart's with all of you": Doom's John Romero responds to id Software reportedly losing half their team 2 months ago:
Back in the 90s I sent a fan email to John Romero, and he was gracious enough to send me a reply. I don’t think I still have an archive of my emails from that long ago, but it left me with an impression of him as being a good guy. I wouldn’t be too hard on him about “being relevant”. As one of the founding members of id software, it’s not surprising that news outlets will pick up on his comments, whether you think he deserves it or not.

Did the LLM choose the name? There’s an obvious existing semantic link between PRISM and intel, so congrats on choosing an un-searchable name.
