There’s no reason to assume that AI will be malevolent.

I also said it would be equivalent to other important events throughout human history.

For example, I believe the discovery of agriculture is one of the most detrimental things ever that happened to humanity. Doesn’t make it any less riveting.

If you do not understand or don’t want to understand the implications of a fully realized artificial intelligence then you are simply willfully ignorant or want to be intentionally contrary.

Either way when our ai overlords take over the earth your name won’t be in the protected scrolls. May God have mercy on your soul.

That’s funny, in my subdivision I had to put a sign up on my door that said “no candy” and I still got multiple knocks!

(I’m a Halloween Scrooge don’t judge me)

It’s funny you mention this, but the erotic roleplay aspect of llms is a thriving business generating millions of dollars every month now in subscription costs.

We’ve barely even scratching the surface of what these models can do and they’re increasing in usage at an exponential rate.

The applications of what you call ai are absolutely limitless. But to be clear what you’re calling “AI” isn’t AI in terms of what you might want it to be what you’re referring to are large language models or LLM’s. Which aren’t ai, not yet.

It’s short sighted statements like this that really get my blood boiling.

If humanity actually achieves artificial intelligence it’ll be the equivalent of the printing press or agriculture. It’ll be like inventing the superconductor or micro transistors all over again. Our world will completely change for the better.

If your interactions with these llms have been negative, I can only assume that you have a strong bias against this type of technology and have simply not used it in a way that’s applicable for you.

I personally use llms pretty much daily in my life and they have been nothing but an excellent tool.

Driver’s in Atlanta Georgia.

The left two lanes on i85 are for faster drivers and right of way is a real thing!

I did a little time in the feds with a guy named Jim. He was a horrible racist.

I can’t make myself stop looking at this.

Because it’s not about saving the lives of unborn babies and it never has been.

It’s about curtailing choice.

I have three cats that I am apparently allergic to. People kept telling me to get rid of them.

I got rid of the people. Could not be happier.

I didn’t say it was for cooking. I said measurement. That can be applied to consumption as well as in a cooking capacity.

It doesn’t make any sense to do this as a metaphor. Chocolate is typically divided into evenly sized chunks for measurement purposes, regardless of the evil practices of the chocolate industry.

The metaphor is asinine the explanation is confusing and it’s lost on almost everybody who buys this.

I have had this brand of chocolate before and it is quite good however.

There are two primary systems of law in the United States that absolutely must be reformed above any other branch or law.

Immigration and criminal justice.

These systems in the United States are archaic third world and downright discriminatory to anybody that goes through them.

They are truly terrible.

The fact that we even have such systems in place in the United States is mind-boggling.

Other countries look at us and simply call us barbarians.

Bail is an option for the courts to use to insure someone that might be a certain level of flight risk shown up to court.

It’s not 100% necessity. People can be released on their own bond commonly referred to as a “personal bond” they don’t pay anything and just promise to show up.

Has this bond system been abused as a form of oppression. Of course. We’re human after all and there are corrupt shitty judges on the bench.

But for the most part the bond system does function.

Offensive to most people. MOST PEOPLE!

People who know.

The ending of that movie still haunts my dreams.

So let’s just address the meta here real quick. There was a comment on Lemmy to which I responded. In context the genesis of this comment is in reference to Ubisoft and the general state of inclusion politics in gaming today.

You are questioning the fundamental motivation as to why I have an opinion on the subject matter that is presented to me under the protest that “it’s just a game”.

I mean why even have an opinion? Why formulate thoughts? Why have any kind of discussions?

I am abreast of what is happening generally in gaming and the industry surrounding it because I’m interested in these things. I like playing video games.

I also have other interests. For example, I’m fairly good at playing the guitar, so there’s a lot of content in my social media about guitars and music.

I also find it entertaining to watch flat Earth debunking videos on YouTube to pass the time.

The reason I care about assassin’s Creed in particular is because I’ve been playing the game since the very first one. I like the franchise. I like the video games and watching it get ruined because of inclusion politics is heartbreaking.

Moreover, they already have the game. It’s already been made. Therefore I have the right to criticize it. Simply stating “it’s just a game” isn’t helpful.

I don’t care if there’s black people or women or LGBT people in video games. I could absolutely care less about that as long as it’s relevant to the game. If they’re just including it to be inclusive, then it’s a meaningless gesture. It brings down the game. It brings down the IP and it brings down the company that does it.

Furthermore, people play video games for a reason. Either it be escapism or immersion or simply to pass a small amount of time till whatever else they have to do. Seeing these inconsistencies in the game breaks that immersion it no longer becomes entertainment. It becomes a political statement which I have very little interest in when it comes to my entertainment.

You can pretend to be on your high horse all you want. I have no interest in seeing inclusion politics in my entertainment. It serves no beneficial purpose except to elevate the egos of people like you to make you feel as though something is being included.

Pure nonsense.

Also the new Star wars game which I don’t even remember the name of sucked universally. It didn’t make any money because people didn’t have any interest in it specifically and exclusively because of the inclusion politics added into the game. Also the main character is fucking ugly.

They already delayed the release due to so much negative feedback. It’s going to be a bad game. There should never have been a black person in this game at all. It’s 1600s Japan. It makes no fucking sense!

There are so many layers as to why Ubisoft is going through what it’s going through I don’t have the energy to express it here in this comment.

I can assure you, however, if they worried more about making good games and less of inclusion politics their stock would be worth a lot more than 2 bucks!

This reminds me of when IBM rejected the idea of the internet.

Disgusting.

This isn’t about being diverse. It’s about making bad games.

As a matter of fact, the new assassin’s Creed is so offensive that the Japanese government is in an uproar about it.

Ubisofts attempt to be so inclusive and sexually neutral is what’s making their games bad because they’re stifling good game design in the process.

That’s not to say that it’s not possible to make a good game while adhering to diversification and inclusion.

Hellblade and horizon zero Dawn are two excellent examples of incredibly good games that don’t expound sexism. Hell, look at destiny 2. They handle these kinds of situations perfectly!

But to simply imply people are upset because they don’t like “woke politics” is a gross over simplification of what’s happening to Ubisoft!

Sweet Baby leaves its taint over a long lasting beloved franchise yet again!

Thank God for Space Marine 2!
