  • Better integrated than Steam? I'd be curious to hear how.

  • Google's AI Sent an Armed Man to Steal a Robot Body for It to Inhabit, Then Encouraged Him to Kill Himself, Lawsuit Alleges. Google said in response that "unfortunately AI models are not perfect."

  • To be fair I think that's a very harsh depiction of the events.

    It's totally lacking the perspective of the shareholder. They were promised money and they have emotions too. Google shareholders deserve better representation!

  • To be fair he deflated the stock also after purchase.

  • You haven't. I'm not offended. I'm literally just sharing a solution.

    FWIW I know because that's what I have been every day for the last few months. I have been using music streaming for years, paying SoundCloud user for a while. Few months ago during my on-going transition away from surveillance capitalism I stopped more and more of commercial cloud services. One of the very last few had been music. I tried quite a few solutions and one of my fear was about music discovery. I thought if I download files then it will be hard to get new music. I looked at technical solutions, e.g. recommendation algorithm, offline and online (with API). I also noticed that my usage was split in at least 2 different listening mode : active vs passive. Active is when I specifically pick a song or an album because I crave it. Passive is when I want background sound, nearly like barely better than white noise. For active it was OK but for passive my own selection was too exciting. I then tried a great public and free French radio ( FIP.fr ) and that solved (by luck) both needs of passive listening AND music discovery. That being said I do not always love the FIP selection so sometimes I'll switch to other stations hence why I said so. That's it, nothing more.

  • You can switch stations.

  • for “background noise”

    FWIW there are also radios, including public ones where content (without ads) is delivered via the Internet, usable via cvlc or mpv or even the browser (so nothing to install).

  • I really doubt [...] as these articles getting spammed makes it seem.

    I mean... have you tried asking around? You can ask family and friends, sure, but that's biased. You can also ask strangers in the street, shops, etc. It's awkward but it's more representative. Sure there is again a bias based on where you live but if you don't trust media (which is fair, even though they do cite a Pew Research survey) nothing is preventing you from conducting your own survey.

    FWIW I did and I won't share my outcome (as it might bias your answer or process to possibly replicate, more importantly, it's not the point) and it lead to interesting discussions. I try to do that from time to time about other topics too.

  • a fucking psyop ... It is not a conspiracy, it’s a really effective way to farm engagement for basically free.

    Right, I think there is very few people actively trying to rage bait others. Sure there are some trolls but the problem at scale is rather blind metrics. There are instead very number smart people, PhDs in machine learning, economics, etc who are brilliant at tweaking mechanisms in order to make a number, e.g. engagement, keep on going up. They might take a benign example, e.g a cooking recipe, and split the audience between more critical vs more positive. They noticed that indeed when they do so, when they artificially create affinity groups, people do reply/like/etc more. They then generalize that technique to other features (e.g. gender, age, etc), run it again at scale, show their project manager that indeed engagement increases and they get a promotion. They have literally no idea of the damage they make, they might in fact actively do their best to ignore the negative side effect.

    Number goes up, users get depressed, profit is what matters in this inhumane medium.

  • If you

    • need discoverability, or
    • don't need anything composable

    then sure GUIs are great.

  • That's actually a great question, safer to ask your LLM directly! So helpful. /s

  • Website

    Jump

  • Eh... don't want to be mean but that's what's called an "IP address" for Internet Protocol Address... but this one is for your LAN, aka Local Area Network.

    So that won't work, people outside your LAN can't reach it. What you need instead is a domain. What most people don't know though is that there is a special domain name anybody can use for free! Check this out, assuming your LLM did the right setup do all that step, making website, starting Web server then try :

    https://localhost/ and voila, free domain from your newly generated websites!

  • YSK that TikTok is harming children at an industrial scale. We know this because we obtained internal documents from the company

  • Damn... money laundering though LIVE with its "gifts" I never thought about this. Everything else is wrong, at scale, but this surprised me.

  • Hated homework, hating WFH

    Jump

  • OK you can hate HOMEwork and instead do everything at school or work, namely study there, but what genuinely matters for studying is that you DO do the work. You have to do the exercises, over and over again, more and more challenging, otherwise nothing gets through. You only get the "feeling" of understanding without getting the practice.

    Learning without practice is like being a theoretical athlete. Hate homework all you want but learn to love studying by doing.

  • Gaming market melts down after Google reveals new AI game design tool — Project Genie crashes stocks. (A.K.A . Investors panic because they don't understand what "real" videogames are)

    Jump

  • Classic GenAI marketing BS :

    • show a superficial demo (literally it's JUST the surface of the things you claim you can "generate")
    • imply that we are on the "brink" of radical change so we "just" have to wait then the "rest" will be generated
    • move on to the next grandiose claim to make sure nobody goes beyond the surface

    It's so obvious it's painful. Sure it's not random, sure there is "progress" but it's NEVER tackling the hard problem. What makes a game fun or exciting isn't the generated world, only a non gamer would claim that.
