I've been saying this since LLMs first started gaining traction - their entire model of "intelligence" is based on outdated neurological theories which have BEEN outdated for a long time, and which they cling to despite their obvious falseness because they imply making AGI is easier than the reality
I’ve been running around asking tech execs and academics if language was the same as intelligence for over a year now - and, well, it isn’t. @benjaminjriley.bsky.social explains how the bubble is built on ignoring cutting-edge research into the science of thought www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Genuinely so funny that they disabled hebrew translations on twitter because any time you hit that button you're flashbanged with a missing page of mein kampf

I've just been exposed to the AI generated Coca Cola ad and it's *bad*. Like, it almost looks like a bland, soulless animated short unless you know what to look for and then it really stands out. And this was *more expensive* than animating it conventionally would have been.

Thinking about the Johnny Bravo episode where Johnny buys a really fancy and expensive shovel and insists on using it for everything even though it inconveniences him and annoys everyone around him.
Weirdly applicable to a weirdly large number of things IRL, really.

I'm firmly of the opinion that Rogue Trader should be the default setting and game experience in 40k. Sure you can have a wargame but only if it's an unloved spinoff with a cult following like BFG. RT is just so much better as a POV for experiencing the setting than "gruff bald man in armour"

my most butlerian jihad coded belief is that we should probably make it illegal – and more importantly, we should work toward a cultural consensus that it is immoral – to design a computer program whose interface uses the first person

The actual secret to why I know stuff is that I ask a question any time I don’t understand literally anything. I don’t care how simple it is. Anybody who makes fun of you for asking a simple question likely doesn’t know the answer either

Just when I thought I couldn't hate Riot any more than I already do, I find out about this shit
3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment.
2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.

You know, as much as living in interesting times does suck, it is sometimes worth it for the comedy value of getting news like "the current US president sucked Bill Clinton's dick at least once"

The Fermi Paradox is such a fundamentally unserious concept. "If you multiply these 20 variables together you get a wrong number and that's spooky" brother I can incorrectly estimate the number of piano tuners in the country but that's not something I'm going to label a fucking paradox

Geoff Keighley really is the perfect representative of the gaming industry:
-unreservedly self serving
-pretends to care about the people actually making the product
-loves to make performative gestures that ultimately go nowhere and help no one
-would almost certainly sell out to the saudis

This is the kinda shit you get when your brain‘s gotten cooked on twenty years of popular culture "AIs as an unnuanced coding for human slavery" productions.
You get men stalk people on LinkedIn to accuse them of being "pro-slavery".

Ok, I wasn’t going to out him because up until now he had not been antagonistic, but he outed himself so here’s the guy who searched for me on LinkedIn to pressure me to compromise my safety by meeting a strange man in person who has already compared my belief that AI is not conscious to “slavery.”
Jelena, your views are pro-slavery.

Sorry youtubers but I am not watching your 3 hour long video essays, especially if the title is some artsy reference that tells me nothing about what the video is actually about. If I see anything over 20 minutes you'd better have a real good reason.
