I'm having a hard time understanding what the writer is trying to accomplish with this (weird) post, especially the "IQ" part on the side (wtf?). Yes, the goal posts change as the technology changes (this is true of ALL techn

You know, people could just put their money where their mouth is. IE go build something amazing instead of talking endlessly about how they're going to build amazing stuff. That's why this feels like so much theatre.

This stuff makes me nostalgic for NFTs and the metaverse which is pretty horrifying all things considered.

Yup, this is why I get so irritated with AI boosters. If it were just a matter of "I disagree", then I would be happy to ignore the people whom I believe to be deluded, but the problem is: layoffs are real, economic impacts are re

It's held to that standard because of the hype. Literally the boosters can't stop saying "THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!"

Software in cars ages like milk, and car manufacturers are not good at software. I would much rather just have a dumb screen my phone pairs with.

AI requires trillions of dollars of investment to keep going because it can't turn a profit and has a massive public backlash because the majority of people dislike it and distrust it. Companies have to force their employees to use it.

I'm kind of curious, whatever happened to Zuckerberg's AI clone? I haven't heard about it recently but it was one of the uh, more interesting AI stories.

Yeah, working harder to avoid a layoff in a big company doesn't really work out - by the time you know about the layoffs they've probably already made their decisions about who stays and goes anyway. Plus that higher rate of effor

You certainly can ask it what it was thinking, the problem is just that it's more likely to make up a plausible sounding fabrication than to say "I don't know" or "my reasoning is hidden for business reasons" (

I don't like any of those people so I'm not disagreeing, but I feel like this is 100% on anthropic for their constant doom trolling. They're not trying to be "responsible", they just want to scare people and it work

I agree, but man, getting the money to make the world a better place goes through the capitalists right now so unfortunately that's the game. Can't fix the problem without fixing the system. (I'm not like hardcore marxist or

That's interesting, but I'm a little skeptical about pharma. Right now there are a lot of really potentially-promising molecules that pharma isn't really interested in bringing to market because they can't patent them. I

I had a pretty rough experience with Fable today. At first, Claude showed a message that Fable was available again, but if I typed /model it showed the same "disabled" state for the export controls, so that was sloppy. After

Heh, so it sounds like you have to pay them first to find out what you're going to get for the money? That's an interesting business model..

If you really believe this, I highly encourage you to do it! Unity makes a lot of money, spread that among just 10 people and you'll be doing quite well, especially for a month of two of time spent. And more importantly you'll hav

This just pushes me more and more towards local models. Even if it's what they have to do, frontier labs working hand in hand with government just makes me really nervous about letting them anywhere near my data. The surveillance state

Why would you need to "democratize" fiction? There's literally zero cost of entry already. Fiction probably needs more gate keeping.

I think this is a directionally good idea. I can't help but think that there's basically no way that the AI labs can actually afford to pay for their massive amounts of training data though. (This does not make me particularly sad

I mean, yeah, you can give it style guidelines, but if someone's goal is "mislead people into thinking a person wrote this" then they should really be reevaluating their values.

It's funny how identifiable AI text is. I usually know within like 10 seconds of watching a youtube video if the script is AI generated and it's a huge turnoff. Plus the video generation, you basically know from the thumbnail. (Wh

What's the point of this fork if it's just a landing spot for stuff that's not really wanted? Wouldn't that just be more condescending then telling people what's actually required for a contribution? Besides, the na

It's really a question of how much time you're willing to spend sorting through spam. "No AI" might be a blunt hammer, but the people submitting slop aren't reading guidelines anyway, and it's easier just to re

> Integrating AI-assisted PRs into an existing team is a skillset all in itself. What exactly is this skillset? Why should AI created PR's be any different from other PRs? To me this seems like a very sensible move.. they don't

You can use AI assisted coding in Godot though with addons and an MCP server. That's completely separate from AI pr's in the engine itself. Also, slight tangent but I'm just going to point out that the new MCP server in Unrea
