I believe most people’s problem with AI comes from the potentially massive financial bubble and economical damage to come from over-adoption of the technology where it should not be used.

Many people, like Torvalds, know that AI is useful for certain things when used responsibly. Low level programming is one of the best places for it. You’re not solving business problems. These are usually optimization and security problems with verifiable outcomes(ex AI finds bug, you can actually confirm bug exists).

Unfortunately the ease of which you can produce crap with AI causes big problems for everyone trying to actually improve things.

Really cool of valve to do this and include a full tutorial.

Just about any other company would keep it closed and sell the accessory with proprietary software; then if that was not commercially viable, would just not release anything at all.

To me that’s always been the point of the show.

Take some real world thing and push it to the point of being dystopian.

In the “Facebook likes” one, you can make a connection to social credit systems IRL.

The explanation is applying a “slippery slope” fallacy for pretty much every single concept.

Whatever he was thinking, he’s not going enjoy getting tortured.

It is expected to dress up for high end dining…. Even when traveling. It’s not “no reason”

That’s the point OP is making. Nobody is dressing up.

I would kill to get a cubicle like this instead of the soul crushing open office we have today.

This was one of the cringiest articles I have ever read.

There is no way this happened lmao.

I lost it at “sorry, I’m using Claude”.

Lmao Ubisoft is unbelievably fucked. I see full shutdown or sale within 2 years.

There’s no way Spider-Man was hitting release date regardless of strike.

Expect a 2-3 year delay on that one, I wouldn’t be surprised if they initially did 3 and then delayed it one more year.

Worst part is google could kill Firefox at anytime because they provide a very large amount of Mozilla’s funding.

I don’t get the impression he’s fallen in the trap at all.

More so, he sees it for what it is. It’s a tool that can help, but needs smart people that can validate its output. It can’t design entire systems nor effectively solve real world business problems on its own. It’s not going anywhere, so may as well adapt to our new reality.

I listened to a podcast with a couple smart mathematicians talking about AI recently and this rings true based off what I heard them discuss.

They hypothesized that only verifiable domains can really see advances due to AI. So mathematics, physics, a load of the other sciences, and medical research. Even programming, as long as you have a pre-designed solution.

But for problems where you can’t look at a solution and say “yeah, that’s an optimal solution or close to it”, ie basically any business problem; they are much less useful, a big reason being what you mentioned in your comment.

At this point I’ve accepted that the USA has ceded(purposefully?) its top spot on the world stage to China.

Ewww why is there reddit in my lemmy feed

Additionally, just “knowing how to code” has never been an actual ticket to success.

Software engineers are hired to solve problems, not write code. If you can write code but can’t solve problems and create innovative solutions you’re no better than a monkey.

It’s because in any higher level math these rules aren’t needed. Everyone just uses brackets(and mathematical notation) to clearly define an order of operations. There’s no confusion as you’ll never see something potentially ambiguous like “x * y / z / a” .

And even if you did, the division operators would likely be horizontal lines to make it clear what is being divided.

Does everyone here have a wired subscription or something?

It’s paywalled. No way the commenters here read the article.

I don’t even know my best friends birthday.

As they keep going down this path, slowly communities on lemmy will grow.

It took Reddit nearly 2 decades to become as large as it is today. Lemmy/Open source platforms in general have plenty of time be become just as big.

Or maybe I’m just coping at the permanent loss of something great.

I mean, this is why you read the terms and conditions.

If the app was completely free, I feel that personal data tradeoff is likely worth it for a lot of these users. Especially if properly anonymized.
