I've been thinking about making this thread for a bit now, ever since I was added to a game creator Starter Pack by @aceottorney.bsky.social, which has led to some people following me.

Bear with me though.

I appreciate the follows, but I have to admit I feel slightly conflicted at this point.

dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani?

great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com
Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People
“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

They gutted the Washington Post. CBS. NYT. Now Teen Vogue.

The point isn't to bring in more conservatives. They've reached that saturation point.

They are killing the fourth estate and buying up the social media to control the messages we see. These were all targeted to disarm the left of truth.

I turn a year older in two days, and it's my
first birthday in 17 years without a job. 80-something shipped games, dozens of teams, launches, sleepless deadlines, and the kind of love you only find in making things for players just to feel that the industry looks at you like you’ve vanished.

I got excited about the Sierra panel, and can't wait to see it when it comes online. I met Al Lowe years ago, around the time they were working on the HD remake, was a great talk. I even backed the Kickstarter and got the big box.

Looking forward to the video. Thanks for highlighting it!

Hey so just fyi, if you're abandoning trans rights you're abandoning all civil rights

At that point what the fuck is the point of the democracy you're willing to sacrifice trans people for

This actually isn't hard at all, quit making it pretend hard because you finally feel scared too

Look up pictures of Auschwitz, and don't use terrible "A.I.". To narrow it down, look up pictures of the gates of Auschwitz. See the similarities?

Following the documented rape of a Palestinian prisoner in Sde Teyman, the military prosecutor ordered the arrest of the soldiers involved.
There was govt-supported riots trying to prevent their arrest. In response, she leaked the video evidence.
Now she has been removed by the Israeli govt.

If you are one, or know one, please give me a shout.

If you ever need a GOOD warning against using ChatGPT, be sure to watch Eddie Burbank's latest video. It's really quite sobering, and funny at times, and should deter people from ever using the dangerous "AI" product. youtu.be/VRjgNgJms3Q

While other people in the thread probably correctly note that this is due to delays in training data, the very fact that the bot seems to express strong certainty rather than, "This was not true as of the most recent data I have been trained on" is telling of Pak's claim re: RW misinfo.

Remember how The Finals used generative AI and got shit for it?

Remember how The Alters used gen AI and got shit for it?

Remember how Clair Obscur used gen AI and people got real cagey about it?

Remember how ARC Raiders (by the Finals team!) used gen AI and people were super excited for it?
AI Generated Content Disclosure The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this: During the development process, we may use procedural- and AI-based tools to assist with content creation. In all such cases, the final product reflects the creativity and expression of our own development team.

For gamers who aren't in game dev, you should know that we are in one of the worst periods in game dev history in terms of industry stability and the reason you're not seeing that play out through products is because the average development window of games is 3-7 years so it hasn't reached you yet.

The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.

Good thing no one uses Microsoft Excel for anything related to legal, regulatory or compliance business functions

www.theverge.com/news/761338/...
Microsoft Excel adds Copilot Al to help ... theverge.com The Verget-4.1-mini Al model | 5 successor to the LABS.GENERATIVEAI function Microsoft started experimenting with in 2023. Microsoft notes that you can combine its new Al function with other Excel functions, including IF, SWITCH, LAMBDA, or WRAPROWS. The company adds that information sent through Excel's COPILOT function is "never" used for AI training, as "the input remains confidential and is used solely to generate your requested output." The COPILOT function comes with a couple of limitations, as it can't access information outside your spreadsheet, and you can only use it to calculate 100 functions every 10 minutes. Microsoft also warns against using the AI function for numerical calculations or in “high-stakes scenarios” with legal, regulatory, and compliance implications, as COPILOT "can give incorrect responses."

OpenAI's new "AGI" criterion is actually quite simply and easy to understand:

"Which Goal Post Position Will Make Everyone Give Us Money With Zero Oversight Or Responsibilities?"

That's it. That's all it's ever been & the only way they've ever done it, even if they refuse to admit it to themselves

The lack of details about the panel’s composition leaves open questions about what criteria the experts will actually use to verify that artificial general intelligence has been achieved.
Expert panel will determine AGI arrival in new Microsoft-OpenAI agreement
New deal extends Microsoft IP rights until 2032 or until AGI arrives.
