100%. But that wouldn't stop me from going to the Disputes Tribunal to demand they refund my money as well. :-)

This still goes back to the likes of Altman etc. who are driving the bullshit hype. The things you noted above as AI success used to just be called Machine Learning and there was no real dispute (even from "AI" haters) that they were useful tools. But they were specialised tools - just like almost every other successful tool.

The LLM pushers want you to believe that their product (it's real AI!) will solve every problem, and it's just one more GPU generation away from Commander Data or R2-D2.

But there's one thing that LLMs are really good at - passing the Turing test. Train them to always tell you your idea is the bestest idea ever in the history of ideas, you original genius, and it's inevitable that CEOs insulated from the real work will fall for the hype.

Well there's some psychopathic phrasing right there...

So what's your plan for getting the next generation of true experts?

"By the end of this week, you and Sam will be the most hated men in America. If you insist, so it will be."

Oh Elon, don't fret. There's plenty of hate left over.

As long as it requires not one, but two unobtainable 5090 cards, I think you'll find approximately 100% of gamers will be left with a game that looks like crap.

Can't have "Cloud" without "C" *taps head*

Presumably, just not brought it up in court.

I got my new gaming PC about 6 weeks ago. It has only Linux on it. Right now I'm playing through Kingdom Come Deliverance II (it was on 50% off last week) but I've also been playing Elite Dangerous, Sniper Elite 5 and Sniper Elite Resistance, Terra Invictus, WARNO and The Witcher 3. To be fair I only played the Witcher for a few minutes as I want to finish KCD before starting a proper re-play of the Witcher.

But the point is that it was no more difficult to install most of those than on PC. The exception being The Witcher as GoG is not currently Linux native, but Heroic allows you to use your GoG account and then points your games towards Proton so the only extra step for The Witcher was to install Heroic rather than GoG.

Whoosh

Better still, there's an entire *novel* about it: Ender's Game. I don't remember the SG1 episode you refer to but I would bet the book is better.

"More fundamentally, AI models may not understand 'stakes' as humans perceive them."

Of course they don't. They don't *understand anything*. They just predict which word(s) is statistically most likely to come after all these other word(s).

But Microsoft will happily rent you a CoPilot service that does. All hail the cloud slop!

Oh come on, it's only been about 2 weeks ... and 4 years.

But Meta owns both the ends. They donâ(TM)t need to break the encryption to spy on you.
