The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.

Das tragische an Streeck eigentlich ist dass er sich nun jahrelang allen möglichen Ghoulen andient um den unmenschlichsten Grausamkeiten einen wissenschaftlichen Anstrich zu geben. Und doch hat es nicht zu mehr als zum Drogenbeauftragten gereicht

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

Forever charmed by Monkey Island II's iMUSE implementation, Lucasfilm/Arts' sound engine for smoothly and naturally transitioning from the musical beats and moods of one screen to another.
It's something you lose out on in the CD audio based re-releases of this, Dark Forces, and X-Wing/Tie Fighter.

And as an AuDHD person we're fed up with explanations about the techpushers being socially inept due to spectrum and neurodivergence and this being the reason for chatbot failures. It's not only insulting, but outright harmful.

Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.

Carnivore is the second worst diet there is, worse than raw food but better than breatharian
With the carnivore diet rising in popularity among adults, babies and toddlers are getting in on it, too. Some pediatricians are very concerned.

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.
