It’s a bit tongue in cheek. We’re like that.

Big tangent, but I just want to say I love this reply, and it’s a great example of what reddit has lost and lemmy has preserved.
Speaking of other species and knowledge, whale songs IMO are something like the dialup sound we used to hear when our internet went over the land line. Apparently they can hear each other from an ocean away as well. Whales may have entire religions for all we know. It’s fascinating to think about, and they’re right here on this planet with us; the Sun only knows what else is out there.

Doesn’t this have the potential to backfire in light of things like the lawsuits in France? Before just xAI would have been liable, but now isn’t SpaceX is also liable for generative AI CP?

I think this is it.
I think, for example, that a lot of the conspiracy theories that exist around 9/11 being planned are the actual the conspiracy meant to mask the fallibility of the ruling class by creating stories about them being all powerful in the wake of a weakening attack.The one complex thing the rich do have the power to control is the stories we’re told. The stories we’re told establish our place in the world and convince us of our rolls.

I also think about this a lot. For all we know the storm on Jupiter is thinking.

I’m guessing in this case the real reason is self-sabotage.

Okay, so I am taking it too literally because he’s not even trying to be accurate with the description. What a weirdo.

True. I guess a lot of it is also the fallout of citizens united.

yeah wtf… a sentient sun? First of all, how do we know the sun isn’t sentient? And if it was/is why assume it would give a shit about humanity?
But also wtf… Like, he’s trying to merge the sun with AI? Am I taking it too literally? He’s trying to create god? So he can ask for forgiveness for being a pedo pos?

Thinking all of that can be controlled would fall under hubris IMO. The powers have done nothing but stoke resistance and rebellion against their hierarchies.

It’s amazing that America somehow is destroying trust in itself from so many different directions right now, almost seems like a planned demolition, but I think it’s more of a chaotic tragedy of errors and horrible judgement.

“we will see RPGs with NPCs you can actually chat with, which remain in-character, and respond to what you do”
True, I think that’s an actual advancement that will genuinely improve the experience. If we’re ever going to get something like a holodeck it will take a clever combination of current and theoretical techniques, and generative ai will likely be a very big part of that.

Which kind of illustrates the fundamental flaw right? Videogame companies have spent decades creating replayable DnD esc experiences that are far more efficient and cost effective. They already kind of do it the best way. AI can assist, and things like the machine learning behind the behaviors of NPC in Arc Raiders for example is very cool, but as you said, you need a custom program… which is what a video game is, so I guess my point is I don’t see the appeal in re-inventing it through sort of automated reverse engineering.

The gig was up for me when i tried to get it to play dungeon master in a game of DnD. It would start out great, but eventually it would forget what we were doing and instead of giving me choices it started just telling me the story of me playing dnd and it would stop giving me options. This would happen about 6 minutes into playing, or 3 or 4 "turns, and that’s when I realized the incredible memory sync it is if it can’t reference instructions given moments ago. A newer model won’t fix that.
At the end of the day it’s complex predictive text that amounts to a Rorschach test.
