“New Switch hardware coming” is a hell of a way to word “there is a slightly differently colored Switch dock and controllers to tie in with the game”.

Well, those are not the same thing. Game “AIs” are sets of fairly simple rules to move agents in a game in a way that makes them fun to interact with. Machine learning is about getting computers to understand and reproduce fuzzy concepts and learn to sort complex sets of data.

Sure, but in this instance it’s an out of context partial quote from an out of context conversation. He is explicitly talking about latent genetic markers for disease that are likely to resurface on incestuous relationships. It’s not like there aren’t legitimate reasons for criticism without having to misconstrue an…

I mean... no, he explicitly explains the go-to medical example of hemophilia (hey there, European aristocracy) immediately afterwards. “Do not breed exclusively within your family group” is, weird as it is to say, the exact opposite of what you’re describing.

A common thread linking my complete revulsion for all things blockchain and AI is the sheer inhumanity of it all. Devotees of these techbro causes are so focused on technology, profits and market forces, while remaining oblivious to their effects and consequences, that at times it feels like they have become…

I mean, he’s trying to dumb down the concept that diseases that require both parents to carry a gene are more likely to show up in offspring from close relatives.

Sooo... here’s the thing.

Well, that sucks so, so much. I didn’t know. I can’t say anything the article and the comments haven’t already said, but I wanted to at least add to the well deserved pile of heartfelt condolences.

I agree with you that automated testing is already in place, hard disagree that any tedious maual testing is already automated. It is not. Better recognition of lots of tedious testing, particularly in gaming, would not just be a good thing, it would make the lives of many QA people better.

It’s actually gotten a bit worse over time. Back when games were mostly text full localizations were cheaper and fewer people actually spoke English, so there was a sweet spot there in the 2000s where you’d get more multilanguage localizations. These days it’s not rare at all for games to just not be localized from US…

I get that the article is a joke and being neither American nor British I don’t have a horse in this race...

Eh... no, this isn’t a mystery. Generative AI is not magic, it’s an area of research in computer science. These things aren’t a secret formula, this isn’t a comic book, the ways they work are outlined in available papers that you can go read if you’re into the field enough to understand them.

Yes, I am back to arguing about what things mean, in this discussion about what things mean. Silly me.

Ah, yes, the “many falsehoods” you haven’t identified or listed at any point and instead substituted with misquotes. I have been exposed.

I am constantly baffled when people keep doing quotes out of context or misquoting in threaded discussions. You do realize my original post still exists, right? I just don’t get it, I know what I wrote, you know what I wrote, nobody else is trudging through these walls of texts this deep below the line... so why the…

I mean, I guess this conversation does go much faster if you decide to hold both sides of it. Speaking of “strawman arguments”.

You went very far to reiterate your fallacy in more detail, but it remains a fallacy.

Ah, yes, jumping to conclusions without thinking things through, that staple of ethics.

I mean, you read what you wanna read, but I spent a good chunk of this thread talking about how our laws to regulate copyright are broken, how big platform owners share many of the challenges of this new application and how the whole thing needs to be regulated again from the ground up for the new realities.

So... you just repeated your point about “not trained to understand” with no changes. You can feel free to refer to my previous response, which applies just as well.
