the studios that innovate and ignore witch hunting will be disproportionately rewarded, as Embark is. ARC Raiders is a fantastic game and scaling meaningful, rich in-game interactions with modern AI is an obvious low hanging fruit that many studios are avoiding out of fear.
For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.

this really captures the specific set of cached/unconfronted assumptions that underlie a lot of discourse, especially here (from @andymasley.bsky.social)

one way to gauge the truth-seeking values of different communities is to look at whether or not they continue to propagate egregiously incorrect statements and information even when clearly shown that it is incorrect. update on the community’s credibility in other areas accordingly.

everyone here is extremely confident they’ve never used AI but an enormous fraction of their existence is mediated, observed, or recommended by AI models over the last decade+. it’s just not advertised as a Product Name, so it doesn’t exist
the nyt posts this stuff like avoiding AI for 48 hours is hard and meanwhile i have literally never once intentionally used an AI program for anything ever

it’s also extremely funny that the “censorship resistant global public commons protocol founded by cryptocurrency and cryptography researchers” is the one that somehow acquired a hivemind user base that thinks like this
really funny to see all the people who self identify as “anarchist” or broadly critical of the current government cheerleading the idea of government speech licensing and thinking we should do that in the us

the unintuitive nature of _scaling_ fooled even top academics about deep learning models throughout the 20th century
there is this extremely consistent problem where people are forever stuck in 2023 tbh. posting dated articles, discussing dated models and making arguments based off dated information and speculation. i wouldn't be surprised if people are still posting >hands

(also, the scientists who claim fission exists are just in the pocket of Big Science, and they’re literal nazis anyway, and also it’s just a stochastic reaction that peters out, and only physbros care about it, and it hasn’t ever happened before so it won’t)

the fact that blocking a user hides their reply for everyone, not just the user who blocked them, seems like an extremely toxic pattern for collective sense-making.
1. user makes [xyz claim]
2. another user corrects them
3. blocked, hidden
it should be explicitly shown as hidden instead

one of the funny things about posting with an anime pfp pseudonymously is that sometimes people make weird assumptions about you, for example that you’re posting about AI because you’re a NEET grok gooner who thinks their AI gf is conscious

the term “generative ai” is productbrained and largely useless imo, and if i see it being used constantly i generally update negatively

every king in pre-industrial history would have paid every penny they could find to have a motor vehicle. and every king in history would have failed to come even close to being able to afford it, even if the knowledge of how to make them had existed.
that’s how much wealthier we are today.

neo-luddites suggesting interesting things when they situate themselves toward a 10000 year long feudal regime that participates in extensive eugenics off the backs of a situation which in books by frank herbert's son is revealed to trace down to militarist despotist titans rather than just "ai bad"

This is because media companies spend quite literally the past 50 years convincing individuals that copyright as it is today is a neutral moral law of the world in which you have to play, and not a very recent development.
i think the root of this is that at some point ppl forgot that copyright is a _policy choice_ in order to achieve outcomes that are agreed upon as “morally good”, not a moral good in of itself!
I am still agape in horror at the fact that people who grew up on "You wouldn't download a car" became such deranged, bloodthirsty copyright enthusiasts
