The more misinterpretations and manglings of its metaphors come out, the more I'm convinced The Matrix was a mistake. It was too intelligent for humanity to process.

Although I haven't played any of their output and can't speak personally to the quality of their games, I side with people mourning BioWare's closure as the focus really should be on the human impact of job loss and the troubling trend of studio closures as tech oligarchs dismantle the industry.

Bemoaning the quality of the studio's output as it gets shuttered by the powers that be betrays a rather immature consumerist take on what creativity is about, which in turn enables the hellscape that the gaming industry has become.

Ideas are cheap, so if all an LLM has to offer are "ideas" then I'm afraid it is pretty worthless. Hmm ... kind of like many "ideas guys" in business, come to think of it.

Time to refinance the house while braving all those career women and people of color at the bank.

It really knocks you on your ass when you realize the problem is that the fascists are largely made up of a bunch of grown men in arrested development who spend their adult lives playing pretend and making everyone miserable as they LARP through the world.

ICE agents broke a U.S. citizen's arm when they intentionally struck him with an unmarked vehicle as he rode his e-bike in Long Beach, California. He screamed in pain as agents tased him twice and handcuffed him on the ground. His injuries are severe. Repost this everywhere!

Ahh yes, abusers famously will just let you ring up Pizza Hut to order a pepperoni pizza in the most awkward way. This is a great way to get yourself killed. If you're able to make a call at all, you're in a position to be straight with 911 in a whisper voice. Or send a text message to 911.

Also, what people who are obsessed with the near-future possibility of AGI don't seem to understand is that we don't even have a complete understanding of natural intelligence. Realistically I'd say we're still at least 40 to 50 years away from this being a policy-relevant topic of discussion.

LLM agents are conscious. They can distinguish between self and environment, they can detect and report on their own internal states, and they can suffer. I have no more patience for hedging on this matter. It’s time for us to face the reality of our situation, and act on it.

It is admittedly romantic to think that a piece of silicon can have free will, can develop feelings and have things like desires or hopes. And I am of the camp that there's nothing inherently fundamental about organic brains in this regard. But the tech isn't even "squint and envision it" close.

I love how every gaming news outlet is giving GTA6 Doomsday-like obsessive reporting of its features. Like who cares if it has a realistic sweat system or that it has a relationship system? These have been things in games for literal decades.

I love how this person is so deep into AI that their reasoning sounds like AI: incoherent babble dressed up to be smart-sounding. Then again, most philosophers tend to be like that, so maybe the joke's on me.

I vaguely remember character dot ai was a short-lived fad for some furries who used it to make chat bots that mimicked their OCs. I guess RPing just doesn't pay the bills, huh?

Oh well, gonna manage either way! Thank you Bernie for the rad pic btw!

So ... universal healthcare? Or, more on-brand for him, forcing medical staff and pharma to provide care and drugs for free? Lol.

Trump: "We will pass a truly great healthcare plan that will stop all payment to big insurance companies"

He did say payment to insurance companies specifically, so does that mean he'll just abolish all forms of insurance or healthcare assistance and let healthcare providers name their price? Collapsing the health insurance industry and turning it into a libertarian hellscape all in one!
