I love how much humor and sarcastic he brings with him talking about these topics, though. Makes it easier to actually listen to what the issues are, makes him a great guest for shows (so gets the message out more) and I also love that he does go over ways tech also enables us to fight back.

All these "look at the thing the ai wrote" articles are utter garbage, and only appeal to people who do not understand how generative ai works.

There is no way to know if you actually got the ai to break its restrictions and output something "behind the scenes" or it's just generating the reply that is most likely what you are after with your prompt.

Especially when more and more articles like this comes out gets fed back into the nonsense machines and teaches then what kind of replies is most commonly reported to be acosiated with such prompts...

In this case it's even more obvious that a lot of the basis of its statements are based on various articles and discussions about it's statements. (That where also most likely based on news articles about various enteties labeling Musk as a spreader of misinformation...)

Yes. I used to work in support... I have seen things you people wouldn't believe.

I've seen computers on fire due to dust buildup. I've seen usb cables glitter in the darkness, stuck inside Ethernetports.

All these moments will be lost in time, like a ticket in the support system.

A few of us still remembers option 3) Regulation And also 4) Properly working anti-trust laws.

I was just thinking the other day that the plot of the matrix would make a lot more sense now.

The ai is running a simulation of the 90s to keep growing because everything after that is tainted with internet memes and increasing amount of ai slop.

Corey doctorow writes about this in his brilliant book "Enshittification - Why everything suddenly got worse and what to do about ut it.".

It's to take away the power for drivers to choose rides based on earnings.

The tipping is manipulated by the company both towards drivers and customers, to optimize for profit above predictable earnings for drivers and reliable service and fast deliveries for customers.

It's algorithmic manipulation and "twiddling with the knobs" to bring in marginally more profit and less payout per transaction.

Just like Uber does with it's transportation services. Drivers that take any ride that comes up, earn less pr drive, while drivers that are reluctant will get incentivised to drive more (and then gradually earn less).

Companies are using the huge amounts of data they have to manipulate both customers and service providers, it's the devil in all these "middleman" businesses. It's a rotten and hugely shitty way of doing things and its gradually becoming the norm for fucking everything.

I cannot recommend Corey's book enough, not only is it clear and concise in describing these mechanisms in several markets and technologies, it's easy to read and witty with Corey's beautiful bitter sarcastic takes all the way through.

I checked the comments just to make sure someone mentioned eidetic memory.

The "um achually" approach is to point out that "eidetic" is actually the correct term and that "photographic" is a colloquialism.

What I find interesting is how often statements like this that are trying to unify the working class (or whatever you end up calling it) just derails into semantics instead of actually people bringing out the pitchforks and shouting "eat the rich"

We are all fucked.

It has its own terms for a very good reason.

It's relative to the boat, so that if you are standing on deck and looking back everyone knows what you mean and not if you are talking about your reative left or the boats.

I think the cultural theme of the game is more reason for the "anger" than the gameplay formula.

Its based on the most famous Chinese mythological story / fairytale about the Monkey King Wukong.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_King

I have not deep dived into it, but I think it's a treasured and well known story in China, and I assume a lot of Chinese people are proud of their mythology being a successful story outside of China as well.

I think there is a lot of Mythos surrounding "the almighty algorithm" and getting fewer views on posts containing words advertiser's don't want associated with their products.

I mean, its frustrating as heck how all this is going down.

But releasing something that can be preserved and saved in archives all over the world is better then all records and documents just disappearing.

I would agree with you if the same companies challenging copyright (protecting the intellectual and creative work of "normies") are not also aggressively welding copyright against the same people they are stealing from.

With the amount of coprorate power tightly integrated with the governmental bodies in the US (and now with Doge dismantling oversight) I fear that whatever comes out of this is humans own nothing, corporations own everything. Death of free independent thought and creativity.

Everything you do, say and create is instantly marketable, sellable by the major corporations and you get nothing in return.

The world needs something a lot more drastic then a copyright reform at this point.

I use a notepad in many meeting at work to not be a complete pain in the ass.

If I write it down it's not lost, and if it's actually a good point I can bring it up at a good time or circle back to it.

The thing is its only the copyrights of individual artists and creators that will die to this.

The big corpos will find a way to protect their value, just you wait.

They will steal from every single creative in the world and then sue them to hell and back if they use anything they them selves "own"

This is not a threat to the copyrights that you want to die.

Yes. He ordered one, expecting to be scammed and to make a video about it.

Now he has made a video about the exposed data.

... That was ai generated right?

So as far as I can understand there is this whole crazy convoluted thought process that is the base of the sovcit thing.

It is conplicated and deranged but it can be boiled down to them thinking there is some sort of "cheatcode" to every interaction with public and official ententies. If they just use the right words and phrases they can get out of debt, avoid prosecution, get a free beer....

It's all really weird and confused.

Commandment 1: Tho shalt, and shalt is a pretty big word you know, it means that you should, but it's really like you must. And I think you must, because it's really important to do the things you know, because they are really important and you should do them.

Commandment 2: Because if you didn't then you wouldn't have done it, and then it didn't get done, so you should do it, and other should do it.

Etc etc

I was actually prepared for the Forbes article to be the type of article it criticizes. I'd say the title is under selling the article, and I bet the downvotes are making the same assumption I was.

I also think the title of article is intentionally made to target the people that actually needs to read the Forbes being critical of yet a nother idiotic attempt by other media outlets to villify gaming.
