They don't care about any of that. They're looking for more regulatory capture, to keep smaller labs from catching up by raising the cost of play, and perhaps keeping chinese labs away.

It's definitely chip muffin. I have no patience for those heretics up the road with their chip barms.

A huge marketing budget can push a mediocre game far further than a really good indie game that doesn't get lucky with youtube.

Which is exactly the problem. All the folks in charge care about is money. Money has absolutely nothing to do with whether a game is fun to play or not. An eternal curse on the houses of anyone involved with these AIs.

yes, I saw that and hit back in a second.

It's more of a story about a character that is sentient than an actual sentient character.

What's with this current trend of grouping GenX with Boomers? I am GenX and the difference between us and Boomers is wild. My GenX friends are on here. Boomers I know are afraid of self-checkout machines.

Imagine a program that generates the digits of pi, one after the other and stops when it is finished. A general purpose program analysing this program to decide if it stops or not would have to know about pi. And about every other possible

That’s a lot of brands. You might have to buy a chicken.

I get really bad motion sickness, I tried reading hacker news in the car with these on when the feature first appeared. It didn't help.

The recent post on ripping DVDs reminded me of the DeCSS prime number. Fascinating topic to think about.

What if the language model writes a story about a character who is conscious and that story is written live about how the character interacts with the world.

I have been very successfully ignoring Windows on Arm since it first appeared :)

We might well be the most advanced species in the universe. Seems unlikely, but we really don’t have anything else to measure against at the moment.

I wish these posts that talk about non-human mistakes that agents make would post some examples. They would be interesting to see.

It’s the annoying thing about AI. If it works, the AI is magic. If it doesn’t work, you’re using it wrong.

This is me. Different music, same deal. Finding you’re not as alone as you thought you were is what the internet is for.

Anybody know how much ram you would need in a Mac to run the Pro model?

I respectfully disagree, I think code has always been more of an art than a science. It's an odd one, I'll grant you, as you need to do a lot of work to really appreciate it.

Code is my art and is how I express myself. I agree that nothing that AI does is art.

I don’t think that’s completely true, there is an art to code beyond it just being correct. There are a great many correct implementations of a program, but only some of them are really beautiful as well. Most people don’t see the code or a

It’s making a tiny number of people richer and a very large number of people poorer. It isn’t going to end well.

I totally see what you're saying, but to me this feels different. Compilation is a fairly mechanical and well understood process. The large language models aren't just compiling English to assembler via your chosen language, they

Requiring people to use products from one of two private American companies with a bad track record of locking people out of their accounts is more than “not great”. Some things are better not done if they can’t be done well.

I read about the new age check nonsense just before 26.4 downloaded, fortunately. I turned off automatic updates and so I guess I have a little time to get out of the apple ecosystem. I'm thinking GrapheneOS on Pixel 10. This is absolu

I am required to maximise my use of AI at work and so I do. It's good enough at simple, common stuff. Throw up a web page, write some python, munge some data in C++, all great as long as the scale is small. If I'm working on anyth
