  Welcome!

  You know, I almost posted that it specifically says on the back “Not to be used for ID”, because I remember that on mine. Looked online to be sure I was right, and couldn’t find it.

  I had no idea that they removed that. It’s not kike they changed function!

  And people rich enough to stupidly link those AI agents to their bank accounts.

  I need to pay more attention to how rich people are using AI personally…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a Peasant⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At this point, I question whether they’re even experts in that kind of finance, or if they’re just connected to each other well enough, and have a few willing experts in hand, to maintain their position.

  I honestly think the only thing most of them have going for them is that it’s their name on the accounts.

  Yeah, I was just poking at what I assumed was a day off the cuff response. Didn’t occur to me they might have tried formatting it, and failed.

  Thanks for breaking them out!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft Fires Team Lead For Criticising Stupid Return-To-Office Mandate⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  …what kind of game is that?!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What I’m saying is that it suggests uncomfortable things about the ethical framework in which whoever is making the valuations is operating. Not because of any specific valuation schemas, but because reducing people to numbers (values) is inherently dehumanizing.

  Any ethical framework or decision that dehumanizes people I would consider inherently unethical.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So it lets us work out certain laws inherent in our universe? Wow, I did miss that implication…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do they do different dialogue styles well? I could see using it for NPC chatter

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Right now, it’s just a fun toy, prone to hallucinations.

  That’s the thing though - with an LLM, it’s all “hallucinations”. They’re just usually close to reality, and are presented with an authoritative, friendly voice.

  (Or, in your case, they’re usually close to the established game reality!)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hadn’t heard of her before! The theorem sounds interesting, but the Wikipedia article is a bit dense - I got that “any system with symmetry will have conserved values”, but I got lost on the implications. Would you mind expanding on her theorem?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Declaring people to have a certain value relative to each other strikes me as uncomfortably close to treating people as things.

  … let’s maybe stay away from genocide, hm?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cory Doctorow proposes how to break free from US digital domination⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, he’s set the precedent - apparently it’s now allowed for another country to just snatch the leader of a sovereign nation and run off with them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Librarians Are Tired of Being Accused of Hiding Secret Books That Were Made Up by AI⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for this, I hadn’t seen this one!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Delicious rocks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That part tracks, nice!

  Is it tasty, though?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Also seems like it’d be a lot harder to modify or extend later

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t mind imperfections while they work out the kinks. I dislike dismantling industries in favor of something that doesn’t work yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some people prefer corn for some ungodly reason ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s how we’ve been getting onions into our kids’ food. Juices stay in whatever we’re grating into, but I’m not sure if it makes a difference in the final meal.

  As for the eyes, it’s tricky - it’s much faster, but yeah, the exposure is more intense. Feels to me like it’s done faster though, I don’t feel like I need to see as well to grate as to mince.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some people prefer corn for some ungodly reason ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Would grating them get similar results for less effort?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some people prefer corn for some ungodly reason ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Overcooked, maybe? I like 'em any way, but I think they’re cooked best when they’ve just softened a little, and still have some crunch

  …is she capturing it, or is that the poke ball she keeps it in?!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And not only did he see for himself, he wrote up and published his results.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That was my first thought - aren’t homosexual relationships documented in Greek and Roman culture, among others?

  That sounds very traditional to me!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think their world view just needs more information. Bill Gates is a horrible person, who has had an excellent PR team whitewashing his name for at least a decade. And unlike Elon Musk, he doesn’t step out from behind the PR team’s cover.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk’s Grok Goes Haywire, Boasts About Billionaire’s Pee-Drinking Skills and ‘Blowjob Prowess’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You sigh, but… Porn is the choice of the bonobo, not the chimpanzee, no?

  Besides, the atomic bomb isn’t really a fair comparison - we set up a whole crash program in wartime to figure out how to make a big weapon, of course we used it as a weapon first!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Controversial startup's plan to 'sell sunlight' using giant mirrors in space would be 'catastrophic' and 'horrifying,' astronomers warn⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Right, but in the daytime, the portion of sunlight that is scattered on the way through the atmosphere to a given spot is partially made up for by sunlight that was scattered to that spot away from other areas, which wouldn’t happen under this scheme.

  I’m curious how much scattering occurs - I have no idea how to find or model that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Controversial startup's plan to 'sell sunlight' using giant mirrors in space would be 'catastrophic' and 'horrifying,' astronomers warn⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the write up!

  I’m curious how strong an effect atmospheric scattering would have, even after all that!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Got Banned for Fixing Roku — The Paul Blart Mod Chronicles⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, post the fix here!

  (Think you could get away with linking the fix post here from Reddit?)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Revealed: Israel demanded Google and Amazon use secret ‘wink’ to sidestep legal orders⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I’m just pissed that even with that they’re still head and shoulders above the competition
