It’s so frustrating when I get an ad for something I already wanted. Like, great, now I’m not gonna get it. Jerks.

I’ve always loved this little comic. Wish it had more words, purely to piss that other commenter off.

My apologies for taking yours, most hypothetical discussions I have still operate under the pretense of reality and what’s currently possible.

I imagine if they were 100% effective by some means, you still wouldn’t be very popular. Lies are a pretty common part of human conversation. You might get sick of them constantly alarming you for small, white lies. Unless you could filter them to only alert for bigger lies, in which case they’d probably find some use by law enforcement and intelligence agencies, but probably still not be very well-liked by the average person.

As am I. Technology cannot accurately discern intent. Fact checking is the easiest way to do that, and only applies to objective truths. Outside of fact checking, it’s completely guessing, and wouldn’t be reliable enough to be useful to anyone.

Would depend how they work, but assuming we’re using conventional technology and not some magic doohickey that can 100% verify the truth, then you’d probably just get shunned by your peers. Technology cannot accurately verify whether someone is lying unless it’s about an objective fact, and even then, its database may be out of date when someone’s informing you of a new discovery. If you’re using an LLM, then it may just make random shit up. And if you’re using a corporate LLM, then you’re transmitting everything you see and hear to some corporation, where they may keep that data for whatever they please, simply so you can have a popup that tells you either a lie itself, or something you should be able to surmise by yourself. You’re not a corporation, so likely people wouldn’t revolt against the glasses like they do against Facebook’s, they’d just stop talking to you.

Presumptuous and judgemental

If I see someone litter on the street, I’m going to assume the worst of them, because littering is bad. If I see someone kick a puppy, I’m going to assume the worst of them, because kicking puppies is bad. And if I see an event using “AI” for its promotional material, any of it, I’m going to assume the worst of it, because using “AI” is bad. There are certain things that, when done in view of other people, will almost universally turn them against you. Your own promotional material should not be one of these things, but using generated images makes it such. If you don’t have the time or money for a fancy flyer, you use simple word art tools (of which there are many free online), or even just print out a paper with information in plain text. Even that would endear more people to your event than using an image generator.

Just do what makes you happy, then you can say you’re feeling gay, by the old definition.

As someone who’s used Claude and most other big LLMs as part of my job, they’re all absolutely useless. They don’t have the capacity for thought or care, all they are is a word generation algorithm similar to Cleverbot. So you can’t rely on them for useful information, you can’t rely on them for remembering info you told them, half the time it feels like talking to a brick wall (because you essentially are), and their only actual value is to CEOs as something they can blame layoffs on, even when it’s bullshit.

Nobody’s making AGI anytime soon. LLMs do not have any of the baselines required for this. They’re expensive predictive text algorithms, more or less the same ones used in mobile keyboards, but upscaled to an absurd degree. Anyone truly worried about other companies or nations developing AGI has no idea how our current “AI” works. You’re never going to get there by building on them.

Dude… How hard are you masturbating that it’s so audible???

Hoot fetish

They’re just really into owls

They launched it from Big MT.

It’s a DLC spoofer. Basically, if you can find the files for the DLC (having a friend with them helps, or check the piracy megathread), you can put them where they would normally be in the game files, then use CreamAPI to make the game think they’re legitimate. There are a couple programs to do the latter half of this process automatically, I find CreamInstaller works quite well.

Agreed, CreamAPI or Koalageddon are basically required to play the game at this point.

Stellaris. Don’t get me wrong, I love the game, and I love seeing it get updated, but for anyone else, all they see is 300 DLC that they need to buy, otherwise it’s a completely different game than the one I’m playing. And not all of that DLC is created equally.

It’s hip to fuck bees.

I think I remember this being posted some years ago, before AI.

You guys should do what that one Vault in Fallout did, anyone elected President is sacrificed at the end of their term.

Not elitist to say that people who use what are essentially weighted random word generators for programming, a career that requires one to know exactly how their code works in case it breaks, are bad at their jobs. Just like how it’s not elitist to say that generated images are not art, and that flying a plane into a building doesn’t make you a good pilot.
