Oh, you have to look up him pretending to play Path of Exile 2 with best in slot gear and casualy saying he's looking to upgrade his items because he can't tell the difference between required level and actual utility of an item.

To be fair, game developers have been rendering text on the GPU for over two decades. I've done it in college a decade ago with bmfont [1] (nowadays the engine does rasterization during import). Whoever thought was making a case with &

You also need to scrape huge amounts of data with no regard for copyright which is: 1. No longer possible the same way it was for openai and anthropic and 2. Much more regulated in the EU Also the EU would need state backing since we don&#x

We can debate the details and implementation but EU legislature is, at least in spirit, trying to protect human rights. What does it say about progress that the same laws that protect human rights also stifle innovation?

Isn't that a strawman? There's a significant difference between "using AI" and "wholesale giving over your thinking to an AI". You won't find anyone arguing against the second.

For subjects I care about, I will hammer the AI with questions, ask for references, proofs, explanations, code samples, book recommendations until I'm satisfied with the answer and I can explain it myself. For things I don't care
