  No they didn’t. They were given directives to do this spout this shit. Clickbait “research” nonsense, meant to fraudulently advertise LLMs as being more capable than they are

  why not just hope you hoarded enough, and this blows over quickly

  Is not very long term thinking.

  Piss in a bucket. There’s your ammonia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Future Sony PlayStation games will use AI to imagine new frames⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  But…adding more frames slows the game down. If it could render more frames already…it would be doing that. It didn’t need an extra, very intensive process to analyze, interpret and then recreate the entire rendering from scratch (but not perfectly) completely separately from the actual render engine and then splice it into the game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Break privacy to make privacy? Age verification isn’t the answer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They track everyone who visits a site that has a “share on Facebook” button, so they want this info for way more people than are visiting their actual sites.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well, That’s One Way to Sell Americans on Electric Cars. The U.S. has been wary of EVs. As the cost of gas soars, we’re now paying the price.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The UK has issue with everyone turning on their electric kettle during the ad breaks/half time/whatever they have of football games.

  Americans aren’t wary of EVs we can’t giyving afford the overpriced shit that’s sold here.

  Well, according Nvidia, they’re all wrong, so who are you going to believe?

  Doubt they can read any better there.

  Anything less than the whole is a subset, yes.

  It must be exhausting having to constantly lie all the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LLMs can unmask pseudonymous users at scale with surprising accuracy⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The Unabomber was identified because his own brother recognized the way he misspoke a common idiom “can’t eat your cake and have it too”. Attributing that to an investigative technique is a bit of a stretch.

  Not gaming?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blocking the Internet Archive Won’t Stop AI, But It Will Erase the Web’s Historical Record⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I live in a country that historically goes along with whatever fucking bullshit idea births out of America’s flaccid anus

  And you somehow don’t feel responsible for the actions of your own government but blame Americans for the actions of their government?

  Do you not see the hypocrisy there?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Asset reuse in videogames is essential, and we need to embrace it, says Assassin's Creed and Far Cry director: 'We redo too much stuff'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Except reusing the same model/texture can be very good for performance. It doesn’t matter if there’s 1 instance or 1000 of a model in the game, it takes up the same amount of memory. Even transforming it/scaling it barely changes that.

  Those satellites are designed for a 5 year lifespan before they deorbit and burn up all those metals in our atmosphere… it’s not great

  I dunno, a crash without getting attacked sounds even more inept to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Digg’s open beta shuts down after just two months, blaming AI bot spam⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Wasn’t AI part of their “selling” point?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Instagram quietly drops end-to-end encrypted chats⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  How is it surprising that one of the companies that is pushing to force Internet ID laws through state legislatures is removing encryption from their chats?

  Your credit card is already tracking and selling all the purchasing data you use it for on steam. Your identity is attached to that account

  Steam gift cards are a thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Valve does not cooperate with gambling sites" - Counter-Strike publishers issue rare public defence of lootbox mechanics, following New York lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it legal for children to be gambling in those places?

  I bet they’re not paying the same taxes that those casinos are.

  Regardless, this is a story about an American company bring

  Probably, sorry if that hurts your nostalgia.

  The one possible redeeming difference is that those cards are an integral part of playing the game.

  A lot of these loot boxes are for worthless cosmetics that can then be sold for real money using the same company that sold the loot box as an intermediary.

  Japan deals with the same issue with pachinko parlors. Gambling is illegal there, so they give out useless trinkets as prizes. And they all just happen to be located next to a shop (owned by the same company but legally distinct) which will buy those useless trinkets for a set amounts of money. A casino with extra steps. Sounds familiar?
