- Comment on The Pentagon is moving toward letting AI weapons autonomously decide to kill humans 11 months ago:
LLM "AI" fans thinking "Hey, humans are dumb and AI is smart so let's leave murder to a piece of software hurriedly cobbled together by a human and pushed out before even they thought it was ready!"
I guess while I'm cheering the fiery destruction of humanity I'll be thanking not the wonderful being who pressed the "Yes, I'm sure I want to set off the antimatter bombs that will end all humans" but the people who were like "Let's give the robots a chance! It's not like the thinking they don't do could possibly be worse than that of the humans who put some of their own thoughts into the robots!"
I just woke up, so you're getting snark. makes noises like the snarks from Half-Life You'll eat your snark and you'll like it!

- Comment on OpenAI's reported 'superintelligence' breakthrough is so big it nearly destroyed the company, and ChatGPT 11 months ago:
Why do I keep looking at these threads? The way people talk about this stuff on all sides is so asinine. Nearly every good point is accompanied by missing a big one or just ricocheting off the good one, flying off into space and hitting a fully automated luxury gay space commulist. Hopes, dreams, assumptions, and ignorance all just headbutting each other and getting nowhere.
Oh yeah, I wanted to know what "superintelligence" was and whether I should care. Welp.

But you "do even" think it's sensible to demand perfect security like that's the only valid alternative to Windows for anyone?

- Comment on It's never been a better time to switch to Firefox 11 months ago:
I didn't do anything. It's just something that happens on kbin. Unless you mean seeing the intended image, in which case I use the "open original url" thing under "more" on the original post.
- Comment on Ransomware 11 months ago:
I feel like this place has gotten super mean-spirited lately. Maybe I'm just dropping in at the wrong times but I feel like 80% of the posts and comments I see are backhanded references or jabs at some part of the community and most of the rest is TOS stuff I don't understand that for all I know is also being nasty to somebody.
Does it really have to be like this? I'll leave that to you lot to figure out. Maybe a split is in order, or part of the commagazine will just vanish and never make another Trek joke again.
Also somecritter lemme know if the Disco-Risa/NonDisco-Risa split happens 'cause I kinda still wanna be in one of them. Or maybe both, as long as the fighting quits.

Wow, AOL is still a thing? ... Maybe I never left. Maybe I've just been lost in AOL's little... channel things, or whatever they were, for the past couple of decades. Please, somecritter come find me and get me out of here 🙀
Or maybe we're all stuck in there. Maybe the real AOL is the average bellend doing the same vapid shite every day and every night. Maybe it never ends because people never change, as a mass, as the same mess they've always been.
Wooooah, trippy. Anyway I think I just kinda showerthoughtsed myself into rediscovering Eternal September, or at least kinda pondering the concept aloud.

- Comment on I love how SNW responded to this sexism by surrounding Pike with women 1 year ago:
I feel like it's not nearly as hard as people make it out to be, very conveniently excusing their carelessness by insisting that nobody else is paying attention either and sometimes even lashing out at anyone who points out (let alone calls out) a problem, or simply something that could be stated better. Can we stop throwing around "crazy" and "insane" whist people are still being called those terms as an attack based on mental illness? You know, that thing that seemingly everyone has because mental health isn't taken seriously enough? Nah, "words change." How about "savage?" That one "changed" too. Some still think "gay" is a term for anything they dislike. I remember people insisting that word had changed, too. It hadn't, of course. Seems like many (most?) just want to act however pops into their heads without ever thinking about it :-\ Few want to hear they've done anything wrong, even when they clearly very much have; fewer still will bother to self-examine.
I suppose my point is, I think that taking some actual care in how we act and especially _inter_act can reveal these issues before they become "oh wow, tee hee we were so silly back before someone told us that women were people!"
- Comment on ‘ChatGPT detector’ catches AI-generated papers with unprecedented accuracy 1 year ago:
There's a difference between using ChatGPT to help you write a paper and having ChatGPT write the paper for you.
Yeah, one is what many "AI" fans insist is what's happening, and the other is what people actually do because humans are lazy, intellectually dishonest piles of crap. "Just a little GPT," they say. "I don't see a problem, we'll all just use it in moderation," they say. Then somehow we only see more garbage full of errors; we get BS numbers, references to studies or legal cases or anything else that simply don't exist, images of people with extra rows of teeth and hands where feet should be, gibberish non-text where text could obviously be... maybe we'll even get ads injected into everything because why not screw up our already shitty world even more?
So now people have this "tool" they think is simultaneously smarter and more creative than humans at all of the things humans have historically claimed makes them better than not only machines but other animals, but is also "just a tool" that they're only going to use a little bit, to help out but not replace. They'll trust this tool to be smarter than they are, which it will arguably impressively turn out to not be. They'll expect everyone else to accept the costs this incurs, from environmental damage due to running the damn things to social, scientific, economic, and other harms caused by everything being generated by "hallucinating" "AI" that's incapable of thinking.
It's all very tiring.
(And now I'm probably going to get more crap for both things I've said and things I haven't, because people are intellectually lazy/dishonest and can't take criticism. Even more tiring! Bleh.)

Finally the "3000" isn't just a marketing number but actually referring to the 3000th clone DLC/MTX platform in a row. Truth in naming!
- Comment on Why We Need An Anti-AI Movement Too 1 year ago:
I think I disliked your ideas less before I read any of it and just assumed you thought the thing that generates innumerable images of east asian women with huge tits and extra rows of teeth was gonna fly to Luna and harvest huge crops of taquitos for us to eat.
- Comment on It was like being in an episode 1 year ago:
25th Anniversary, Judgment Rites, A Final Unity... Ooh, Bridge Commander too! :3 ^.^ Also some of the others, including Harbinger and the Elite Force games and a few I forget the names of 😅There are many Trekky funs to be had :3 Hell, I'd even consider doing another run through some STO.
Also, is it just me or is the OP image removed <.<
- Comment on Which language you wish would really grow and reach mainstream adoption? 1 year ago:
I don't even see the bot from here. Bleeeeeh maybe I just need to give up and jump ship to a Lemmy instance 😅 Is not your fault, of course.
I don't think I'd encountered any such commagazines (why'd they have to be named both?!) and that's why I was excited to learn about the one you mentioned. I've already started peeking around in there and finding some interesting tidbits :3
- Comment on Which language you wish would really grow and reach mainstream adoption? 1 year ago:
Interesting commagazine! ... I don't seem to be able to get to it through kbin :( Am already digging around in there, though, so thanks for the tip :3
- Comment on Which language you wish would really grow and reach mainstream adoption? 1 year ago:
Some fun stack-based concatenative language (like Forth or Min) :3 I like playing with odd/new-to-me things that change how I have to approach things in some way. ... Also I wanna find a Forth community I can stand 😅 That or maybe a similar low-level language, I suppose. I was thinking of using it for a project but... eegh. Bleh. Et cetera. Still might, but purely on my own terms I guess.
Also, more Haskell please >:3 Or something else like it. We must spread the glory of FP nerdery @.@ ...And maybe get some more useful (and maintained) packages to work with instead of just kinda having to wonder what even builds any more v.v

I want to say I never quite learned to like it, but... I have once or twice maybe hummed along a little. Honestly not much, and the completely unenunciated "isbinna laaooww waaaww" (maybe slightly exaggerating there) bit still irks me but... yeah okay some of it is a lil catchy >.<;
