This is like going to a butcher shop to complain about the environmental sustainability of almond milk…
You can be right, but the people you’re telling aren’t using the product you’re warning them about bud. They can’t not use the product any less because they’re already not using it.
Well…
That is the next game after “Borderlands”…
You…
You think they care?
They want people streaming games to phones/TVs and paying by the hour.
Not subsidizing console sales anymore will make cloud gaming seem more attractive, and that’s where the most money is at
I used to love Borderlands…
Then they locked characters behind expensive DLC. So I started waiting for the “everything” editions, but then it made sense to just wait for big sales…
And eventually not caring about the franchise.
Its like Crusader Kings or Sims. It’s better than annual releases that don’t really change, but the DLC structure turns people away from the entire game. Even if you wait for a sale, all the “new” DLC stays expensive.
So people put off buying anything till they just don’t care.
As the researchers wrote in a summary of their findings, the “most common sycophantic code” they identified was the propensity for chatbots to rephrase and extrapolate “something the user said to validate and affirm them, while telling them they are unique and that their thoughts or actions have grand implications.”
There’s a certain irony in all the alright techbros really just wanting to be told they were “stunning and brave” this whole time.
They gave all the big subs to corporate overloads well over a decade ago.
The general “tech” subs had mods bought off long ago for general shit
$200 to nuke a topic is nothing to these companies, but an insane amount of motivation to unpaid mods.
It doesn’t take long till the motivation from bribes pushes out anyone without that motivation, and that’s not even getting into how small the circle of mods really is due to years of “add backs”.
Like, at this point we should all accept that real life conspiracies don’t have to involve James Bond. It can be a bunch of idiots doing incredibly transparent and ineffective shit.
so what can they realistically even use it for so much?
Burn money on AI tokens so it looks like AI could be profitable some day so people keep investing in AI companies that can then buy Nvidia chips…
You’re thinking of it like “how can AI make a better product”
They’re looking at it as “how can we sell more chips”
Two very different questions with very different answers.
It’s a house of cards and Nvidia can’t afford to acknowledge no one wants AI or knows how to make it profitable.
It’s worse, they want to change the global economy to corporations paying corporations…
The total elimation of actual consumers, because none of us will be able to afford to consume enough.
AI companies need people to pay for AI to keep buying Nvidia chips. So Nvidia is making their employees pay for the AI so AI companies keep buying Nvidia chips.
It’s not a sustainable system, it’s just a money churn whose only purpose is to consolidate wealth.
It’s worse…
People are saying it’s AI slop filter, and he won’t shut the fuck up that the slop isn’t a filter, it’s a main ingredient.
When enabled it fundamentally changes how it works.
Developers will be stuck with the default version we’ve seen, or have to devote a shit ton of money to do twice the work for the people who use this, and they won’t see the other version.
Like, this shit is going to get worse and worse the more people understand it.
Not really,
Nvidia just calls everything DLSS…
Like, it’s basically an anthology label at this point. If they think it’s a good idea, they call.it DLSS #
For example DLSS 4 was frame generation, nothing to do with super sampling.
Do you think it is likely for voting to create a difference?
Yes, because I understand our political system…
There is nothing constitutional about the US and how it operates anymore.
You don’t seem to even understand the meaning of the words used to describe our political system…
Stop asking rhetorical questions like you’re teaching people, start asking real questions so you don’t remain ignorant of how society actually works.
Just ask someone else
This is like asking if you have faith in plumbers…
But no, I don’t have “faith” in anyone or anything.
That’s why I vote and advocate for others to do so, because lots of informed voters mitigates the threats from bad politicians.
AI is shit.
Facial recognition is shit.
But none of that was really the issue here:
Lipps spent nearly four months in a Tennessee jail without bail - classified as a fugitive, she had no hearing, no interview, nothing. North Dakota officers didn’t retrieve her until October 30, 108 days after the arrest. October 31 was her first court appearance and the first time police spoke to her, reports InForum.
Arrested and thrown in jail for 108 days before seeing any sort of judge is a constitutional violation.
We hear about this because it’s an obvious wrong case to an old innocent grandma…
But it’s not the only time it’s happening. And if this happened to her, it can happen to anyone.
A lazy/dumb cop or ICE agent can just declare you’re someone they’re looking for, and by the time it’s settled your life is destroyed.
We can’t keep kicking police reform down the road.
We can’t settle for moderate politicians who say they’ll try on a few issues.
We need politicians who understand that everything is fucked and desperately needs fixed across the board.
It’s been a minute, but I thought the tokens represented compute time
But then they realized people valued the idea of compute time more than the compute time.
So it became similar to crypto, where it was just used as a currency.
The part about gaining control I thought was something else, where Pied Piper didn’t have 50% of accounts on an app, just a majority. And due to the decentralized nature of their software, whoever had the majority controlled the code. So the Chinese and Gavin set up a zombie network of bot phones to gain 50% in a hostile takeover once the boys were switched from independent accounts to an organization.
But like I said, it’s been a minute and sometimes I’m wrong.
But I think they were two separate iterations of what the company was at the time
AI companies who can’t find anyone to buy their product, swear their employees would rather have their product in exchange for labor rather than money…
Which could easily be used to buy the product no one outside the company is buying.
This is just a way to juice metrics and claim this “compensation” as sales on the books.
And I’m almost positive the “per user growth” they’re talking about is just how brain rot addicts will use chatbots for everything once their brain atrophies from not using it. But just by mentioning that they had to admit that overall use wasn’t a metric they wanted to talk about.
It’s like how a small percentage of drinkers (the alcoholics) buy the vast amount of alcohol. Less people drinking is bad for the company, and a few alcoholics can’t sustain the company without being replaced by new addicts.
Edit:
Also, isn’t this literally a plot point from Silicon Valley?
Like, their desperation move to get funding at some point was handing out compute tokens, but the only people who wanted to buy it was their competitors because non of the companies had customers?
I can’t tell if the author is ignorant or really think “posting knowledge” to social media isn’t just handing it to AIs…
Like they even take a break in the article to defend people who take low paying jobs training AI and that how it’s actually a good deal for people who don’t have a job.
It’s like when a 9 year old learns what reverse psychology is and does a shit job at it.
Everything the author said just gets AI free or cheap training.
What?
Thing 1 is bad, thing 2 is worse.
Being raised by the worst parents is bad, being raised by ai is worse.
Being paralyzed from the waist down is bad, being paralyzed from the neck down is worse
I picked what I thought would be the clearest comparison of “undeniably bad” and “undeniably worse”. So I’m honestly impressed someone got confused enough to get offended.
Now imagine how much worse those kids would be if just raised by AI.
This is like if someone said being paralyzed from the neck down was worse than being paralyzed from the waste down, so you say look at all these people paralyzed from the waist down…
Nah, even a shit parent is better than chatbots
That’s exactly what they’re doing here tho…
The “core business” is hype, because hype is the only reason to use, invest in, or support current AI.
There’s nothing they can do to raise share price more than buying an existing reputable source to make it a propaganda shill.
The author is still operating under the assumption that AI can be made profitable if only they work a little harder. It’s not gonna happen, it’s a fucking boondoggle who only exists to grift investors. Once you’re roped in, you have a financial incentive to perpetuate the grift.
And now TBPN (whatever that is) has a financial incentive to tell people how great AI is
