I think everyone in the universe is aware of how LLMs work by now, you don’t need to explain it to someone just because they think LLMs are more useful than you do.

IDK what you mean by glazing but if by “glaze” you mean “understanding the potential threat of AI to society instead of hiding under a rock and pretending it’s as useless as a plastic radio,” then no, I won’t stop.

Place your best now about the odds that Trump tries to make being LGBTQ a capital offense. I’m going with 10%, which is already too high for me.

best of luck.

Are you just trolling or do you seriously not understand how something which can do a task correctly with 30% reliability can be made useful if the result can be automatically verified.

Right, so this is really only useful in cases where either it’s vastly easier to verify an answer than posit one, or if a conventional program can verify the result of the AI’s output.

yes, that’s generally useless. It should not be shoved down people’s throats. 30% accuracy still has its uses, especially if the result can be programmatically verified.

I meant the latter, not “it can do 30% of tasks correctly 100% of the time.”

Devil Republican Christians are even worse, trust me.

I’m not claiming that the use of AI is ethical. If you want to fight back you have to take it seriously though.

I’d just like to point out that, from the perspective of somebody watching AI develop for the past 10 years, completing 30% of automated tasks successfully is pretty good! Ten years ago they could not do this at all. Overlooking all the other issues with AI, I think we are all irritated with the AI hype people for saying things like they can be right 100% of the time – Amazon’s new CEO actually said they would be able to achieve 100% accuracy this year, lmao. But being able to do 30% of tasks successfully is already useful.

Absolutely, this matches my experience. I think this is also the experience of most coders who willingly use AI. I feel bad for the people who are forced to use it by their companies. And those who are laid off because of C-levels who think AI is capable of replacing an experienced coder.

AI as it exists today is only effective if used sparingly and cautiously by someone with domain knowledge who can identify the tasks (usually menial ones) that don’t need a human touch.

Boo! This is such a purity-test. An imperfect ally is still an ally. If you’re angry that the establishment actively shoots down communist parties, that’s valid, but don’t blame it on Sanders.

I’ve never given TGL a proper listen, though I have the game for NES. Thanks for the recommendation!

plausible, but my experience from dissecting these kinds of games is that they tend not to be as space efficient as you’d think they could be if they were the kaze emanuar type. The fact that they opted to have 257 distinct values for the laurels suggests to me that they weren’t prioritizing space efficiency.

My best (wildly speculative) guess is that a designer, knowing 256 is a common limit, wasn’t thinking carefully and said the maximum value should be 256 (instead of 255), and then an overly pedantic coder implemented this to the letter while rolling their eyes.

Shout out to Castlevania II, where you can hold anywhere from 0 to 256 laurels. Yes, you read that right – 256, not 255. I inspected RAM to double check. It’s a 16-bit word on an 8-bit system with a maximum value of 0x100. They could have used 8 bits instead of 16. But no, they really did choose this arbitrary number.

Without “if progress is made,” my statement would have read:

“naturally” is going to look more and more like “coerced,”

but I don’t believe this, since my expectation is that the status quo will remain.

Well yeah, obviously. There are anti-semites everywhere. I meant those whose motivations are “free palestine,” which in my estimate is the main motivation of the free palestine crowd when viewed as a whole – not antisemitism. I don’t mean to say that there don’t exist people who are aligned with free-palestine just because they’re anti-semitic. But there’s no protection from those people either way – so, no downside.

I look at my own privileged life from many angles. If I don’t belong here, then where do I belong? Some other country I’ve never been to, am not a citizen of, and who hates immigrants? Everyone belongs somewhere.

Well, unless you’re Donald Trump, and want to end birthright citizenship.

Regarding youtubes in South Africa holding all the land – as a leftist I don’t really believe in strong private property rights. The land should be liberated. That doesn’t mean I think they should be kicked out, or that some other country should take them. Well, unless you’re Donald Trump, and want to invite “south african refugees” into your country.

Your use of the word “intentionally” is quite confusing to me. Intentionally misleading on whose part? The word’s part, or the in-group’s?
