Rockstar co-founder [Dan Houser] compares AI to 'mad cow disease,' and says the execs pushing it aren't 'fully-rounded humans'

You're absolutely right, but you also need to accept that most people think ai means transformers (as in, LLMs and generative/image synthesis)
It sucks, but that's how language works unfortunately. How most people use a word ends up defining it.

You know, it's tricky. I get called rich on the Internet, based on my position and salary. But I don't feel rich. I don't own my own home and I doubt I ever will. I rarely take vacations,I don't eat out - too expensive. I don't go to the pub with my friends anymore, can't afford it.
Because I live in Vancouver, an expensive city.
It's all relative.

When my sons with autism are sent home from school, they've learned the problem is them — not the system

They used to. I'm an old one but back in my day there was special education classes with instructors trained for this thing.
Then one day they got rid of those special classes and integrated everybody into one.

Moss, One of VR's Best Series, Is Being Un-VR'd and Brought to PC and Consoles
Reply in thread
There are plenty of full/long games now, and there are tools to effectively play a lot of pancake games in vr with full stereoscopic vision. GTAV in VR is hilarious.
It's not the lack of games preventing VR adoption, it's price, bulky tech, and inconsistent experience.

UK activist hits Valve with a $903 million lawsuit — claims Steam is abusing its market dominance and forcing UK consumers to pay too much for Steam games
I'd love to see that 30% go to 15 or 10, but this lawsuit is a stretch

For people under 30 the wage gap is almost gone, and in several industries it has been inverted.
For the same position and education, young women now outearn young men.
However, if you take a global average across all ages, it's very much alive.

It absolutely can. AI can be a decision maker for an LTD. I'm not saying it's good, or it should be this way. But there's nothing stopping it.

Yeah but that didn't mean these are safe. It's just means humans are dangerous.
I'd rather be killed by a human than surrender my freedom to ai.
