Unfortunately this was set so I can't reply, but literally just a couple days ago I saw this interesting thread making that same point (regarding ML vs. LLM) in academic research: bsky.app/profile/clim...

I probably lean more anti ai than pro, but I am aware the technology has use cases. Machine learning functions are good! Generative AI regarding photos/video is generationally dangerous.

#gamedev #rpg I am working on party movement for my RPG. I have the party following the leader in a line, but I can't decide if it's better to collapse the line back down when the leader stops moving, or have the entire party freeze too. First video shows collapsing...

wait what: one of the actors from Heroes founded the game development company that made Outer Wilds I just saw this, is this true?

but but support the troops

🚨 FOX MOCKS SAILORS: Fox News host Joey Jones lashed out at U.S. sailors speaking out about dire conditions aboard the USS Lincoln, calling them “weak” and warning America has “nothing left.”

Seeing this reminds me of a video I saw years ago where a Republican politician from Staten Island was asked some ridiculous thing about Obama (or maybe Clinton? I forget) and his answer was to throw them out of his office.

Reporter asks Zohran Mamdani's former political opponent, Curtis Sliwa, what he thinks about the campaign to stop Mamdani from attending the 9/11 ceremony: “Ridiculous. He’s the mayor. Stop being sore losers.”

Over the last couple days I've started seeing messages (the spammier ones, natch) in Gmail marked with animated profile images. oh nooooooo (fortunately it only seems to be the mobile app for now, not the web client, but who knows how long)

as long as we all agree we'd immediately fuck the beast just look at him he's hot

low key hilarious that the post that triggered the latest round of "Bluesky is dying" discourse has less engagement on Threads than its screenshots have on Bluesky— likely because it contains an outbound link to a news article, which is an automatic shadowban on Meta platforms nowadays 😂

I was just implementing the dirty flag pattern and, despite having done this dozens of times, this time I felt silly writing code like "if isDirty doSomething()". Any other programmers ever have that experience?

I just got a voicemail from an unknown number saying "never fucking call me again!" I assume it's a wrong number, but I'm a little curious if this person is getting spam calls with my number spoofed. Is that a thing?

This is what I've been saying! The experience of using ai is identical to that of a medieval necromancer binding a demon and trying to find the correct words to force it to his will while it subtly tries to eat his soul and drive him insane

Once again, @wolven.blacksky.app's work about magic and AI is vital. It's not just "robo-butler" they want, it's Bound Entity enslaved to master's will, serving their interests over and excluding its own. In such a cosmovision, the magician is empowered by God, and thus becomes God.

As someone who is half-Korean and grew up there, boy am I glad I can get soon dubu in Ohio.

oh you just ate a vegetable roasted/sauteed in olive oil? asian fusion? literally anything with avocado? sorry bro, that's a coastal elite cultural victory right there

Same people love the free market of ideas until the market makes a decision they don’t like. Then they’re being “canceled”.

these are employment numbers fyi

Sam Altman matched with a man on Grindr, who posted the conversation. Open AI offered him money to take it down. He made a song instead.

As always, reinventing things from first principles.

Sagittarius A*@sagastar.bsky.social · 2w ago

no no he's right we'll describe what we want the computer to do. precisely. then some tool will take that language, and turn it ("compile"?) it into a binary. pioneering innovative shit man

This is something I often have to point out about games too, that it's all artificial and nothing happens naturally. And often about lighting too! Although it's just as often about physics.

I started watching Poor Things. I... I don't know if I can take this whole thing. I definitely would walk out if I were seeing this in a theater, but watching it on Netflix, I keep stopping but then like a day later I wanna watch more. wtf is wrong with me

hahahaha!

On the one hand, good on them for rolling this back. But on the other hand, what were they thinking doing this in the first place?! I mean, that's the level of care involved at these companies.

Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · 3w ago

That was fast. Google sent me a statement saying it is now “rolling back“ this AI feature after our demonstration and others from OSINT researchers www.404media.co/google-earth...

lol I was just reading an old thread and noticed this banger I missed the first time

Andrew Fowler@andrewthaddeus.bsky.social · last yr.

The idea that a media group would send out a survey to kids essentially saying "hey are you horny?" and taking the resulting "no" at face value is like an Onion article writing itself.

I can use their AI to determine if they’re using AI? THAT is their “solution?”

Y'know how iphones automatically create themed slideshows (eg. "moments from summer 2022") of your photos? I was just flipping through one and feeling the warmth of nostalgia, when I realized one was from right before a mass shooting. *sigh*

I was recently in a bathroom where a woman covered her eyes while bringing her son in to use the urinal. I joked that she doesn't need to cover her eyes, and in my head I wondered if she has opinions on mixed-gender restrooms.

Jen in Motion@jeninmotion.bsky.social · 3w ago

This one gets me more than all the other myths because I am certain most grown-ups have been in a mixed-gender line for a public restroom at a crowded event and nobody cares.
