“The fact that my business model doesn’t work is an unfair threat to my business model!”

As someone in the midst of being replaced by AI, it ain’t happening. It’s superficially great at my job but the moment anything needs fixing or changing its more work than if I (or a human in general) had been paid to make it properly in the first place. No real productivity has been gained or time saved, those costs have all just been kicked down the road. The only thing LLMs (specifically LLMs, narrow/specialist systems have legitimate uses) have really enabled is the ability to produce Bethesda levels of technical debt in record time.

Born too late to explore the world, born too early to explore the universe, born just in time to join a crew of road pirates!

Got lucky on my AMD/Linux PC, performance is unaffected and the update is great. The console mod support did completely break even manual modding for me though so I’m limited to console mods via the in-game browser for now.

Not to beat a dead horse but isn’t AI a huge chunk of the US economy right now? The same AI that needs to make more money than exists on earth to justify its expenditures? My bet would be longer and the balance sheet looks worse than any of us can imagine.

I like one of the takes on it from the SCP wiki, they find an ancient world ending god, and it was unstoppable and world ending… to humans armed with sticks and primitive bows. When it breaks out it doesn’t take more than a few artillery shells to kill it. We out grow our old gods.

Honestly all the characters were really likable, I especially appreciated how…

Even on release the 5090 cost more than my whole PC… and my PC literally had the highest end version of every other consumer grade component and a 9070XT (so highest end non-nvidia GPU). Point is it was always overpriced, a single component should not cost more than an entire rig.

Nah nah, the play is to say that they are people who are working voluntarily and also they can vote! (As interpreted by the data center owners)

GenZ Literally never having seen a functioning economy (at least while being old enough to meaningfully comprehend its existence) I imagine Generation Alpha is gonna have it even more fucked.

Don’t see how that’s cheating? It was told to win and found a way to win. LLMs take instructions 100% literally (like a genie but without the malice) so if the person setting the goal leaves out requirements because they assumed the LLM would conform to preconceived human behavioral norms then that’s entirely their own fault.

Not if there’s no control hardware for it to be connected too, a telemetry sensor in no way needs the ability to even influence the mechanical function of the device.

You had me until the end, the american (or european for that matter to be fair) MIC would never make a weapon that’s actually cost effective.

The question is can he float the problem for that long, the current pace of AI investment simply requires more returns than are possible, something like 1/5 of the entire GDP of the united states at a minimum yearly. At some point the emperors lack of clothes will become impossible to hide no matter how much they try.

We have an AI uprising at home…

I’ve found cutting sugar bit by bit helps, limit it to weekends, cut it out of hot drinks, then limit hot drinks to 1/day in the morning since they tend to have sugar built in. Best method when starting is to remember that its far easier to exercise self control in the shop than it is once the stuff is already in your home. Now sugar is something I can take or leave rather than crave, also made me realize that there are a lot of savory foods with an objectively better taste when you don’t have that sugar craving biassing the decision.

I swear with hills too, I can be standing infront of a thousand foot slope and the camera makes it look like you could throw a rock over it.

We had 2 months of no direct sunlight and even with frequent walks I was a complete zombie, felt like this year started at March because that’s when I finally got enough vitamin D for my brain to become capable of forming longterm memories again.

Donate em to Ukraine, these things sound perfect for temporary emergency energy relief after strikes on infrastructure.

Doesn’t work when veterans have consistently and publicly been treated like shit, the army needs at least be a better option afterwards and if it’s not then not even the desperate will willingly join.
