That… didn’t end well, did it?

Outdoor ceremony in 40 degree bone chilling weather.

40 degrees is chilly? I don’t want to know what’s warm for you. Do you live in the Sahara or something? Dry heat?

I lamp? Is this a moth meme?

The moths approve of this

Exposing how centralised bluesky is, once again.

Wow, it’s been 2 years already? Time flies! Cheers to the leavers

Exciting! I don’t play DotA, but this sounds like an interesting idea. You might get a good response from the people on Steam. Just post it in the dota 2 discussions. I assume that’s where the majority of them are?

Probably a bot waiting for a voice in order to start. It waits until it hangs up.

Ok, what if, and hear me out, they are actually doing this to ban plans and force the reintroduction of, wait for it, trains!?

Nah, didn’t think so either.

Over-promising and under-delivering are normal - that goes for both directions. I think it’s undeniable that machine learning / AI has been improving at a steady pace. Sure, the current cycle will reach its peak, but there will be another and another. I don’t believe AGI is a matter of if, more a matter of when. Whatever technology they’re using now is not it, but it may play a part and even if it doesn’t become AGI, it will be one more thing to tick off and explore new roads.

As someone said “this is the worst AI will ever be”. It’ll keep getting better. We just have to be prepared for the next cycle and not be caught off-guard. But knowing humans, we are terrible at long-term planning and preparing. The next cycle will catch the majority with their pants down and we will be scrambling to pull them up while whatever it is was developed changes our world yet again.

I disagree with this as it’s a prejudgement with little to no knowledge about anybody’s roots, circumstances, history, etc. It categorically puts people into boxes and is the flawed reasoning of racists, anti-semites, homophobes, and so on.

For example, Islamic terrorists aren’t born terrorists. Some of them are born into the wrong family and fed hatred all their lives. Some had to live through hardships you and I can’t even begin to imagine surviving. Others are bullied, ostracised, and made feel worthless only to find belonging and recognition in the only group that would listen to them and make them feel seen.

Ask yourself, if you grew up and had to go through the same things as some people, would you still be the you that typed what you typed?

Yes, some people have always been assholes and never changed, they do exist. I’m not denying that.

The US. Believed in the “American Dream”, but the more I learned about the country, the more I grew to dislike it. It’s all a facade.

And I used to have a lot of respect for old people, but that also changed. They are just as flawed as the rest of us.

You’re all my friends

Is it working better for the rest of the world?

Pro, of course. I’ll side with my fridge.

Are IDEs the microsoft word of programming?

The fediverse is just so geeky. I don’t know what this means. The wikipedia article kinda makes sense, but there’s a lot of terminology in there. It seems like an advanced editor with many features - like a bat-mobile for programmers, but it keeps breaking down?

Hmmm… that’s nominally better. Which user would respond to a PII request from an admin? I for sure wouldn’t. Would you? And servers could run their own bots too, no need to pretend on a browser.

But I do agree that with control of admin and choice who to federate with, it is possible to reduce the number of bots. Eliminating them is not possible, IMO. I’d be surprised if there’s any defence against a bot that can control a browser and maybe even go as far as pretend to use a mouse.
