oh wow, what “news” this is… /S

Isn’t this the entire reason for RB’s existence?

Except switching jobs is far easier, less risky and usually the only way to get an actual salary bump?.. yes, “just like”

A tool is a tool.

That is a miopic view. Sure a tool is a tool, if I take a gun and use it to save someone from getting mugged = good if I use it to mug someone = bad

But regardless of the circumstance of use, we can all agree that a gun’s only utility is to destroy a living organism.

You know, I know, everyone here knows, AI will only be used to generate as much profit as possible in the shortest amount of time, regardless of the harm it causes. And right now, the big promise of AI is that it will replace costly human employees, that’s it, that’s all.

Fortunately, it is really bad and unlikely to achieve this goal

It delivers on what it promises to do for many people who use LLMs.

Does it though?

They can be used for coding assistance,

They promised no programmers needed in 5 years. (well not promised, somebody did say that but not OpenAI staff, I think). The cost of AI both in money and energy use, does not really justify the limited aid it can provide to a programmer. You are never getting enough additional efficiency from said programmer to justify those costs

Setting up automated customer support,

Even more hated than when every customer centre moved to India

tutoring, processing documents, structuring lots of complex information,

Again, at that cost? the marginal improvement does not add up

a good generally accurate knowledge on many topics,

Is it though? if I can only trust it with answers I already know enough to discern whether I am getting bullshit or not, then it’s not worth it. As it it today, I cannot trust it with any search I really do not know the answer to (or can easily verify) as it can be throwing complete bullshit at me and I would have no way of knowing either.

acting as an editor for your writings, lots more too.

Again? you mentioned the processing docs already… but again I tell you, who will pay the heavy costs just so internal memos are written slightly better? and everything your company sends out would have to be reviewed as you do not want AI promising something you cannot deliver via hallucination

He is just stating the obvious, like saying the sun is hot.

But he could say they are engineering to catch up to the trend, right? the question is not if they are to implement AI features in their current 8 year old console. The question is if AI is in their development path in the future

And the answer is no, Nintendo does not seem to see value there. I for one agree, the stuff you mentioned about AI in other comments in the thread go from “meh” to “I actively do not want that in my games”. This is just my opinion as a casual gamer but I see logic in Nintendo’s stance here.

AI atm can replace artists and actors

Another things no consumer wants

Because even though everyone knows Nintendo’s consoles are under powered, they still usually deliver a ton of gameplay fun.

In this particular case, very few people want more “AI” in their stuff… and as even OP admits, current “AI” is crap. So why would I want to pay extra $$$ for hardware that can run “AI” when my gaming experience is likely not going to improve one bit?

They’re just lucky that the current AI Models are crap, otherwise this would be the next standard they’re missing in their “more of the same since 1980” games.

So you are complaining they are not adopting something you admit is currently crap?!

I’m going to complain about billionaire taxes then, I mean I have no billions but I’ll complain anyway

I know. It was a reference to China being the new scary monster Russia once was

Because China is the new Russia Commie menace

The USA pretends to care about espionage but has zero trouble allowing all of its manufacturing to flee there. As long as the big boys are making money, it’s worth every risk, amiright?

See? Literally, this behaviour is why we can’t have nice things

If the “different direction” to sue everyone who liked them before?!

It’s worth realizing some people do not want to be cheered up.

I get that 100% and, although I am sure I made the mistake before, I am trying hard to understand and respect these boundaries

I am just saying I believe wearing such a pin to avoid people would have a noticeable cobra effect

But even if money does not exchange hands… if I have a million dollars to organize a group of lawyers, PR experts, propagandists, etc. I can still generate and undue impact in legislation that would be hard to match by any regular family voicing their opinion on their own accord

I agree with the first amendment but I think funding a full think tank and funneling “my voice” through a paid army is twisting the goal of the first commandment… and that is before the open bribery that we do see nowadays

That’s not enough… not just because nobody would read it but because there is a LONG tradition of marketing funded junk science so they could very easily come up with some shitty paper that backs whatever they are saying.

The tobacco industry was famous for this and for years they produced studies that showed smoking was good for you

100% - specially in the USA, it is 100% legalized, coordinated bribery

“influencers” should not exist in their form today. If you are to peddle a brand, you get to be responsible (as in legally liable) for the claims made

You don’t think people would go “aww how come you are down? Let me cheer you up”?

You’d just be drawing more attention to yourself… Or inviting a challenge

“Patriots” who are either too aloof to get involved or just become traitors along the way to power
