Whoof, it’s now moved to “Overwhelmingly Negative”

Reviews repeatedly mention that it is hilariously buggy, to the point where players are constantly running into visual and gameplay bugs. Also a few complaints about features being changed/removed from the first one to be more similar to popular FPS trends

I think you’re cooking here, maybe you can get a government grant to fund this

Even after Automattic acquired it, the site continued to lose money at a rate of $30 million each year, the company’s CEO Matt Mullenweg had said.

I still wanna know what they’re spending all that money on, because I’m sure it’s not developers or even servers. The idea that they can only be profitable if they’re constantly growing their user numbers is an investor idea that’s doomed to fail eventually and why so many social media sites are crashing right now

And then they’ll cancel anything they didn’t spam the front page with and blame it on low viewership

Pixelfed is the federated alternative, not sure if it’s open source though

They are making more than enough money from the Bedrock mtx, server hosting fees, merchandise and spinoffs I’m sure

Because those pages had information that wasn’t on the new pages?

Just from my own experience, WotC migrated the Magic the Gathering site to a new one, and while some articles were brought over there were a whole lot of stories, strategies and event coverage that were lost or are only available thanks to Archive.org

What’s the benefit of going private for a company that’s owned by private equity? Like from a regular standpoint, not being subjected to the constant growth demands of shareholders is good, but I wouldn’t think private equity cares about that as long as they’re making money

That’s basically what most tech companies are trying to optimize these days, the ability to make money off of other people’s work. It’s why they’re so hyped about trying to use AI to replace the very workers it’s trained on.

But simply knowing the right words to say in response to a moral conundrum isn’t the same as having an innate understanding of what makes something moral. The researchers also reference a previous study showing that criminal psychopaths can distinguish between different types of social and moral transgressions, even as they don’t respect those differences in their lives. The researchers extend the psychopath analogy by noting that the AI was judged as more rational and intelligent than humans but not more emotional or compassionate.

This brings about worries that an AI might just be “convincingly bullshitting” about morality in the same way it can about many other topics without any signs of real understanding or moral judgment. That could lead to situations where humans trust an LLM’s moral evaluations even if and when that AI hallucinates “inaccurate or unhelpful moral explanations and advice.”

Despite the results, or maybe because of them, the researchers urge more study and caution in how LLMs might be used for judging moral situations. “If people regard these AIs as more virtuous and more trustworthy, as they did in our study, they might uncritically accept and act upon questionable advice,” they write.

Great, so the headline of the article directly feeds into the issue the scientists are warning about when it comes to public perception of AI morality

God they just rebranded trickle-down-economics

I feel the same about a lot of Fediverse apps right now. They’re kinda just coasting on the fact that they’re not big enough for most spammers to care about. But they need to put in solid defenses and moderation tools before that happens

We’ve already recreated dead actors or older actors whole cloth with VFX. Plus it still seems like a niche use case for something that can be done by VFX artists that can also do way more

Like what even is a legitimate use case for these? It just seems tailor made for either misinformation or pointless memes, neither of which seem like a good sales pitch

Google has been killing those off for a while. Nowadays it’s hard to find anything that isn’t just the copy-pasted SEO bait non-articles covered in ads

Wait this is from the potato snapshot? These are incredible! I’ve wanted something like this in the game for a long time

Wish this AI bubble would burst already

Found an image of all the wolf variants

A welcome addition but also wish they would improve their behavior and survival capabilities

No, just that sales is probably not the only metric they’re looking at when buying ads. It’s about maintaining their brand image too.

We saw this with Amazon when a bunch of news articles about their union busting and poor work conditions were breaking. There were tons of ads from Amazon about how much people love working there and how great it is. They knew they needed to influence their public image and advertising is how they do it.
