Probably my favorite game maybe because of some similarities with the main character I loved the redemption arc. I loved the capitalist socialist critiques. I wish more games would focus on that dichotomy.

Man millennials really like to do things quietly

Unfortunately the kkk as well

Yeah my mistake. It is with ps3 games. My default is to think everything is terrible now. It wouldn’t be that hard to support back to ps1 I’d pay extra for the option.

I didn’t realize I was assuming that was over. Well good on them. Long live the used game market!

Execs and the late stage capitalism game they play is ruining everything.

If they would make them backwards compatible I would be more likely to upgrade it still bugs me that they stopped doing that. I miss my old PS3. That thing was awesome I even installed Linux on it and had emulators working… the good old days.

Yes it did you caught a manatee in your haddock net :)

I downvoted the post thought I should explain why. I’m trying but the internet mostly just seems depressing.

People are commenting on a comment about people arguing with insane people about a tragedy. This is tiring.

I feel like this is a game of find all the AI mistakes. Like how long are Susan’s legs!!

Biden is the lotion you apply to soften your skin so it can, once removed, make capitalism pretty.

I didn’t mean to throw your argument back at you. I agree with it. I just read it and thought you could describe humans with it as well albeit not that completely or charitably. I think by no means should we allow LLMs to make decisions. They could help us be more objective maybe in some cases by educating us. But yeah handing over agency to an AI is a frightening concept.

And no of course wiping out civilization is not a solution. I can get pessimistic about our ability to avoid destroying ourselves with or without the help of AI. I still think world peace is largely unattainable. At least without some draconian controls in place and a whole lot of time and education. I could change my mind on that. I hope we’ll get there someday.

Why the actual fuck is anyone considering putting humans into the driving seat of anything?!

Of course they make fucked up decisions with no proper or justifiable rationale, because they have no brains. They’re language models, stochastic parrots stringing together sentences to fit the prompt(s) given to them.

Sorry I didn’t mean for that to be snarky. My point in doing that was to say individual humans aren’t much better. That’s why it’s important not to place too much power or even agency on one person.

A language model has in its head, wrong word, what only multitudes could contain and maybe it’s detecting, another wrong word, a pattern with human civilization through our history and interactions. And if it’s goal is to achieve peace what other solution is there? I don’t believe in a world without conflict. I wish I could.

There is an effect there but this has been a problem before COVID. Anecdotal but a teacher friend has been complaining about this for years. I know all parents don’t have the time but we read a ton to our kids and helped them learn to read when they were just getting started.

I tend to agree with the author. He’s not saying we can’t make choices. We do have the ability to make choices. It’s just that our choices are driven by so much history and memories and brain capability/functioning. Outside stimuli is so important. The sage advice from a relative is important. That’s why if you want to fly like an eagle don’t hang out with the turkeys.

You could create a table/bar top out of them with some epoxy resin

I think most people are just overwhelmed most of the time and just want to live their lives and feel connected. There’s no immediate pain of giving up personal information just a vague threat of some future danger. We’re bad at caring about those types of things, generally speaking, just look at how we are handling climate change.

That fly is probably throwing up in his hair. Thanks fly!
