Yup Kojima 1000 years ahead of his time.

After the SORA AI reveal today I’m starting to see that luddites have a point. I don’t think we’ll ever have terminator-style scenarios but the amount of damage misinformation and disinformation is doing to our society and now WILL do to our society is proof enough we need to start stepping back. I’ve seen the amazing benefits of AI first hand - new drugs, new treatments, more medical knowledge than ever before, gene sequencing of never before seen organisms. I’ve seen AI help with all those amazing beneficial things.

But I feel like the bad actors are wining, and winning very hard. Basically everything is unregulated and corporations refuse to take even a modicum of responsibility for anything. The worst thing is knowing that our octogenerian overlords don’t even know how to use a phone. I don’t see why i should continue to be a tech optimist when we all know that things are only going to get worse from here on out. In a post-truth society all we can really do is regress.

Self-driving cars lose their shit and stop working if a kangaroo gets in their way, one day some poor people are going to be carpet bombed because of another strange creature no one every really thinks about except locals.

Lmao this dude has no articles

In biology we’ve been using machine learning for a long time now so the AI super hype out there is pretty funny to me. It’s for sure useful with stuff like predicting protein folding and analyzing genes and stuff, but it’s all hyper-specific stuff just like it has its always been. Good for removing tedium for sure as its the reason we can even know the human genome because it would take literally forever to sequence it without modern tech, which we did in the in the 90s and finished in 2003.
My big hope is that all this hype will get people to invest in proteonomic technology which is 100% a great use case for AI and also the future.

You’re totally right, everyone knows that blue has been one of the best flavors for a long time, yet most companies are scared because blue “isn’t real”.

Nice another basedscummer, in Morrowind I and everyone else I knew had a “kill Vivec” save just for when you want to kill Vivec.

For the AI heads here: is this another problem caused by the “black box” style of LLM creation where they don’t really know how it actually works, so they don’t really know how to take out the data?

This is the best part of being a no-name science grad from a no-name school. I already left ages ago.

Ah well that would be why it’s completely pointless to me. Since all science is politicized now, I guess there is no reason to use it.

I signed up to it from instagram to track my favorite epidemiologists and h5n1 only to discover it has no hashtag system to look up trending topics and most of my favorite epidemiologists aren’t even on it. So it’s worthless for even following COVID, avian flu, and probably every other news topic.

That’ll be very interesting. I always forget about the NFT shit despite having been a redditor for years. I don’t want to give them ideas, but I’m guessing they would let people “reward” each other those fugly ass avatar NFTs.

I feel like the ratio of right-wingers to left-wingers on Reddit has increased in the favor of right-wingers as most Lemmies/Kbin/etc are at the very least left-leaning. Lots of really unhinged shit about immigrants was being upvoted in a thread about AfD on a smaller world news sub. Maybe Euros are just losing it but I feel like it’s noticeable.

I’ll never forget the Tumblr titty ban and then the fact everyone’s SFW art got marked as NSFW by their very strange bot.

300% this. People like us can navigate our way through all those drawbacks, but are deal-breakers for people like mom who lurk Reddit from time to time.

I really hope the real anime_titties community comes here, some of the best non-eurocentric news without focusing overmuch on one country or region.

Similarities between Linux and the bible:

1. Free
2. If someone is into it they will tell you unprompted
3. If someone is into it they will try to convert you

I think you’re right on the money, I recently took a vacation and i had the luxury to turn everything off I wanted and truly enjoy it, most Americans can’t do that.

Me: “Well I didn’t really need it anyway, right?”
