anyone thinking that way is a clown. I'm not joking, it's a trope, videogame clowns like Kafka, Marx, and dimmentio all think that. The world thinks you guys are clowns. And game designers aren't subtle about making fun of you for it. that's why half of them are named after political ideologies.

We oghtta be just as smart if we want to beat them and build a culture that won't let this ever happen again.

Thinking of racism as a cultural norm instead of a pure moral failing at an individual level enables us to think about how to change the culture to reduce racism.
the reason we are in this mess is the facists went out there and built entire alt right pipelines to increase racism in our culture.

The goal of charting that path would be to find good places to put up road blocks so that fewer people follow that path.

you can't respond to anything but the first comment in a thread. can you?
This is exactly what I was saying about real understanding. I had a hypothesis and I tested it. now I have a better understanding of how this particular model works. this is what proper logic looks like.

I genuinely didn't expect it would be this easy to tell an argubot from a real person.
you're not even a well enough built model to remember we were talking about vegans
"this topic" lol
Thanks for your participation in this experiment. I can start working on a filter to find and exterminate them.

But to address the first half of the comment, that is exactly what I said but I didn't use the colorful language the AI companies use to get around copyright law, and for marketing purposes. I used the words that normal people can understand, the ones that have real meaning instead of being made up.

Oh so you're an argubot programmed to argue in favor of AI. a real person could have read the thread well enough to see the next comment was already a response to that comment about human brains. "not deterministic" my ass.

There is no ultimate secret to the universe. Nothing science cannot explain. No truth beyond our understanding. No things the MAN can actually hide from you.
You just have to be willing to put in the real work to sus out the real truth.

Like every conspiracy theory, techhype is born of a desire to feel important, like you get it when others don't. But they don't want to do the work to achieve real understanding, they just want to pretend. So they do the things they are told that the people who "truly" understand do. real Sheeple

I have read the necronomicon. It may seem that some were driven mad by it, but the truth is that it is such an overwhelmingly boring read that most don't finish it. Most pretend to be crazy because that is what they are told the people who understand it do and they don't want to be called stupid.

They work on linear algebra, a subject that you can get a good understanding of by paying attention in highschool. That will get you the basics, for the complicated stuff you need college level calculus, which can be hard but it certainly isn't the eldritch nonsense the techbros claim.
comment in response to
post
Most of you get your understanding by trusting the people who profit from your belief that they work on faith, trust and pixie dust. But they need people to actually build the damn things, so they have to teach someone how they really work. Some people know how they work, and I am one such person.

I tire of being asked "how do you know it doesn't learn the way people do if you don't know how it works" So I will answer before I am even asked
"How do you know there isn't a gnome putting on a puppet show inside your screen if you don't know how screens work?"

LLMs and genAI work on a compression-decompression model. this is where "training" takes the form of compressing data, while the part the user sees merges user input with the compressed data, and then decompresses a result.
Compressed data is still a copy of the data. It's a glorified TAPE RECORDER.
comment in response to

LLMs are just bad. the idea that we can teach a tape recorder the complexities of human emotion by exposing it to enough human noises is a pipe dream and we need to wake up from it. it is doing more harm than good.

We've always been able to pump and dump the real market. That's one of the features of speculative capitalism. What a great system!
"We live in a bubble economy" is essentially a fancy way to say "the stock market is a bunch of pump and dump schemes."

I may as well put it all on trump impeached, because if that doesn't happen my money isn't gonna be worth anything.

people need to be reminded that continuing to do something they're already doing, being "normal", and even doing what their manager says (weather that be an algorithm or another person) are choices and should be thought out.
not making a choice is still a choice with consequences.
comment in response to

I find it quite troubling that people allow themselves to be trained not to use critical thinking skills and don't think for themselves.
I do not have much of an issue with smart devices or algoritms as long as the choice to use them is a conscious thought out one.

Wait what's up? I just spent the last 2 months fighting to keep wisconsin from getting gerrymandered to shit.
Is trump still in an on-again off-again relationship with tariffs? I wish they would just stay broken up, this can't be healthy for either of them.

It is incredibly hard to do but trying is not hard. anyone can try. Every democrat should be trying.

feel like the game industry should go the same way. the main thing giant corpos offer is that they can use their IPs and existing audience to give their workers some stability. but if you're disposable to them, and they lay you off every 3 months they aren't offering that, why work with them.

The work they did was not in vein. Quinoa is still here and we are too.
We will continue to make the world a better place. One orange idiot cannot stop us, only stall us. History is on our side. Every learch back has been followed by a greater wave of progress. This time will not be different.

I agree, but we need to meet people where they're at. If they aren't ready to reduce, encourage them to redirect to better habits.
Every little move adds up.

Help us out and make a tier list of most ethical consumption to least ethical.
If it spreads as a meme hard enough people might actually follow it.

single person bathrooms, they have no reason to be gendered if they only fit one person.

seems we can say the same for gaming and books. I think we are just safe from this, he'd only admit to liking something if he thought it would make him look cool, and that is an instant way to make him super uncool for pretending to be interested in it.

there are good ways and there are better ways, but there is no best way, so trying to find it puts you on a wild goose chase. The only way to get better is to try, so just accept that you are good and you'll do fine. better is for future projects.

When right wingers do a "boycott" they buy 4 times as many of the product and record videos of themselves burning it.
It was a literal strategy of these companies to piss them off on purpose.

during recessions people look for low cost pass times, during the great depression, movies were big. games got big in 2008 and 2020. if history is anything to go by games are a pretty safe bet, but will probably skew towards smaller games made by smaller teams, big budget games are a maybe.
