Lmao, “Nothing can be done to prevent this, says only nation where this regularly happens”.

Try and be less American.

If it discourages people from owning guns, it makes society overal safer.

I believe that was Chris Rock: https://youtu.be/VZrFVtmRXrw

Most of the hobbyist 3D printer market is not people who think that building 3D printers is fun and their primary hobby, it’s people who bought them to print other stuff for them.

It’s literally the entire reason Bambu has shot to popularity so fast.

Lol, do you realize that regular 2D printer manufacturers have mandates for embedding codes in the prints so that they can be traced?

Or that Photoshop and photo editing software has mandated counterfeit bill detection features in it?

It doesn’t completely invalidate all of your points, but the idea is not as crazy or unprecedented as a hammer with anti murder technology. Hell even just basic cap guns have to have an orange tip.

As long as gun nuts kept insisting on designing and printing guns, this was inevitably going to happen. Like what the fuck did they think the end result of designing and distributing murder machines online was going to be?? Did they really think everyone, in every jurisdiction and country around the world, was going to agree with their dumbass Republican interpretation of the 2nd amendment?

Thanks gun nuts! You’re obsession with point and click murder machines has now led to this.

It’s nice to see what semi-competent adults running a region can accomplish…

glares at a giant whiny baby of a country rolling in its own shit 🫩

The business loses a sale of what though? A copy they never created or had possession of in the first place?

If I go home and build a PC, can Dell claim that I deprived them of a sale of a copy of one of their computers?

Pirating is not and never has been stealing. You do not deprive anyone of anything when you make a copy of something.

Copyright is a dumb as shit system of artificial scarcity and always has been.

If you are suggesting that LLMs are sentient, then this isn’t a “mild disagreement”, it’s the San Andreas fault.

“If you are suggesting X is black then we’re mortal enemies”

Theres more nuance then black and white, don’t be so internet brained.

There are so many technological leaps that have to happen before AGI can become real that I am certain that neither of us will see that day.

Name them if you’re so confident.

We’re already operating models with simulated neurons on the order of magnitude as brains. Unless you plan on dying this decade or the next, there’s a reasonably likely chance we’ll live to see AGI.

No one has claimed this is sentient, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not interesting, nor does it mean that it’s not interesting that a structure that seems to function similarly to one in our brain emerged.simply from the way they trained it.

Lol keep putting everyone who mildly disagrees with you into a bucket and othering them, totally normal healthy behaviour that leads to good outcomes, not exactly what has lead to the dysfunctional right wing of America.

I’ve made no such claims, I just actually read articles and think about them with an open mind. You’re welcome to run around screaming thought terminating phrases in all caps all you want, but I’m gonna call you out when you do.

Keep boldly DECLARING bankruptcy bud.

It doesn’t make you sound smart nor make anyone agree with the point you’re trying to express, it makes you sound insecure.

You know what else sounds like cache when you refer to it reductively? The human brain’s work space.

The literal entire end of the post goes into how it differs from the human brain and the implications and non-implications about consciousness. It’s a lot more nuanced than labelling it “NOT intelligent”.

Genuinely one of the most interesting developments / discoveries I’ve read.

It’s also wild that we may have literally matrixed a fruit fly and no one is talking about it.

This isn’t an argument, it’s a thought terminating phrase.

I would suggest reading the full article before commenting.

1. Is a completely different question that has absolutely zero to do with disc based games, and the answer to that question is readily available in the form of Right To Repair legislation.

Top AI researchers should go fuck themselves right to hell for handwaving away and ignoring the inherent problems with their work while plowing ahead full steam so they can get personally rich.

Cory Doctor’s recent book on Centaurs and Reverse Centaurs is worth reading.

The core idea of that is that centaurs are a human top and machine / alien body, they’re effectively augmented humans with all this technology to help them excel.

Reverse Centaurs are human bodies and machine / alien tops, where the humans are just checking the work of systems and are subservient to them. He points out that that’s one of the fundamental differences between Amazon and the Postal Service is that in the case of Amazon drivers, they basically function as a reverse Centaurs where they are just an appendage of the delivery car, tracked and managed by that car, to do the tasks the car can’t do on its own.

Lmfao you mean spending his personal fortune on land conservation and spending much of epic’s on breaking up monopolies that harm everyone?

Oh wait, I’m sorry, I forgot, he also made you install a second launcher, and since you were mildly inconvenienced by not being able to deep throat Gabe 30%, you thought Tim Sweeney was the devil?

Lol like thats the only possible axis or lens to view a game through.

Battle Royale shooters got more popular then traditional team deathmatch games for their inherent pacing.

Battle Royale games always involve these dynamic phases where sometimes you’re looting, sometimes you’re exploring, sometimes your battling, sometimes you’re sneaking up on people.

That naturally creates the kind of varied encounters that games like Halo or Cod only got through randomizing game modes, and rather then only having downtime between matches to talk with your friends online, there is natural downtime built into segments of each scenario when you’re exploring and looting.
