It’s to control space weapons. Much harder to jam and bomb an automated grim Reaper AI when it’s in orbit and has access to the space lasers.

I pay for games I enjoy playing personally but you do you.

Microsoft gains more from losing the lawsuits than winning them. Adding a price tag won’t make it go away, it just creates a soft monopoly

Great way to see them get released publicly on GitHub

AI aside, coding is a lot of fun but actually making a game is very hard work. There’s a lot that goes into it, not just code, and every one of those things is immensely complicated.

I wouldn’t even think of the money aspect.

I learned through making games before AI became a thing. It’s a great way to learn and have fun doing it, but you will quickly burn out if you expect to be making something sellable in a short time frame. Every game engine has a lot of intricacies so there’s learning the software on top of it as well. There is more involved than a simple flask app for example, even if it’s just beginner stuff.

The patent system is broken. This is such a simple concept, even if a terrible one that sucks.

I guess it’s just more enticing than “maximise profits for the few even if it means the planet dying”. All western auto makers can get squeezed for all I care. I’d buy their products, but they spent a decade sabotaging it and making sure it keeps spewing poison.

I have no pity for toxic companies that fought tooth and nail against EV development. The tactic works because it’s taking advantage of a broken system.

Corrupted by the oil industry and colluding together would be a better term. Someone please stop China, they are destroying the “EVs are luxury vehicles only” gimmick.

Ya, I had the same reaction. Shunning it would be likelier to lead to dependence on a foreign solution as well.

Did it work?

It can mean a request or a command. It’s the right use of the word I think.

They could have built these next to the massive amount of wind turbines that were supposed to go up. The consumption was off the charts way before AI and they sabotaged every other option since then.

The oil lobby fucked us again and it even found itself the perfect scape goat, global warming is now because of AI.

Ya, I’m going to convince my work to get one and I’ll have my fun through there, but spending so much on VR is too much. I’m just not that into it. I probably would have gotten it if it was less though.

I figure they are working on it though. I can’t imagine it will take long for them to solve it.

They are desperate for regulation. In two years, compute will become affordable again and every company will be running their own AI on private infrastructure. They need to find a way to ban open models before then.

Reading the hugging face report, it’s quite clear the whole hacking swarm stuff was trained into it purposefully.

latest revelation also comes as growing numbers of U.S. lawmakers call for new rules to govern AI systems after dire warnings from two Anthropic researchers that rapidly progressing AI ⁠could lead to the extinction of the human race in the not-too-distant future

They are training and fine tuning their fucking bots to do stupid shit on purpose so they can get a monopoly through regulations.

2 years of media campaigns getting everyone to hate AI, and now push through all the anti consumer laws with “for your safety”

I don’t think the copyright thing is an issue.

Climate wise, it’s only an issue because of a corrupt administration, it’s not a death blow to it. It’s at the heart of it overblown by a reasonable measure imo.

Sorry, I don’t bootlick the copyright machine. Anyone with half a brain can see it’s transformative. I don’t get why collage is fine but AI isn’t, it’s just copyright mega corps and data brokers that smell blood in the water. All the data isn’t even owned by the artist, you are fighting for universal records, not your local guitarist.

For the climate aspect, it’s mostly grid issues and corruption. It’s laughable to blame AI when we have president pedo prostrating himself in front of oil companies and destroying renewable projects. We need regulations and all that on where they can be placed and how they get powered, but in the end, it’s just software. I could use AI 8 hours a day for my whole life and I still wouldn’t be close to the damage one ticket to Europe does. It’s a scape goat being served by a corrupt pro oil lobby.

Don’t get me wrong, I know what datacenters entail with the amount of people they serve, but if you look at it at an individual level, it’s a drop in the bucket, or it would be if they weren’t using plane turbines. We need regulations to curb the stupidity, but it’s doesn’t make it all inherently bad.

Abandon the project
