MY hardware and infrastructure was not free either and I and ONLY I get to decide how it is used.

And fighting/extorting for another 85 outside of the courts.

Ads were already there for years - for Facebook, TikTok, Candy Crush, and who knows what else.

I would say this is embarrassingly unprofessional, but the truth is this is just normal these days - normalized by Facebook and Android - and I’m just old and used to better software.

I switched to Linux the same year they appeared.

Yes. Scary.

And before that, llms in many unexpected ways.

hmm generating static excel reports doesn’t sound bad, as long as these are used just as output format - basically a familiar GUI.

‘IRL Fakes:’ Where People Pay for AI-Generated Porn of Normal People (www.404media.co)

A Telegram user who advertises their services on Twitter will create an AI-generated pornographic image of anyone in the world for as little as $10 if users send them pictures of that person. Like many other Telegram communities and users producing nonconsensual AI-generated sexual images, this user creates fake nude images of...

Ads are just pure negative. There was even one study that calculated this as a direct financial negative, although unfortunately in narrow circumstances: it was calculated that for mobile users in the US, paying for the data transferred to display the ad was more expensive than what the site owner got paid for including it on his site.

I expect this to proceed similarly: many companies and funding dollars will burn in flames and still, the world will be a different place in a decade thanks to this technology.

daddy32 ,

Doesn’t the offline mode solve this?

daddy32 ,

Yeah, that’s when I started to call him “The pedo guy” (using his own words).

daddy32 ,

In what sense? Lying about the actual capabilities of the business? Full autonomous drive next year and Mars at 2022?

daddy32 ,

It’s not on sale, lol. Well, it is, but on Fanatical.com.

daddy32 ,

Yes, Klei, definitely!

They take any genre and create a really polished game in it. Then move on.

Plus - this is subjective - I like their art style.

Let’s pretend it’s because you have gone all electric.

I don’t get all the negativity on this topic and especially comparing current AI (the LLMs) to the nonsense of NFTs etc. Of course, one would have to be extremely foolish/naive or a stakeholder to trust the AI vendors. But the technology itself is, while not solid, genuinely useful in many many use cases. It is an absolute positive productivity booster in these and enables use cases that were not possible or practical before. The one I have the most experience with is programming and programming-related stuff such as software architecture where the LLMs absolutely shine, but there are others. The current generation can even self-correct without human intervention. In any case, even if this would be the only use case ever, this would absolutely change the world and bring positive boosts in productivity across all industries - unlike NFTs.

That’s one big difference between the US and the EU law. In the EU, they can’t.

daddy32 ,

Nonsense. Not “about anything”. ChatGPT gives correct advice in many fields, some of which are directly verifiable - for example programming.

daddy32 ,

I stopped using LineageOs due to their stance towards rooting and weak arguments behind it.

Diablo IV steam version has officiall support for Linux as far as I know. Or rather, support for Steam Deck via Proton, which is practically the same thing.

daddy32 ,

That would be the easiest path, but would cost you!

You can try to install the battle.net version via Lutris: lutris.net/games/diablo-iv/ and it should work. I haven’t tried this game in particular, but had a great experience with Lutris in the past.

It is a great front end for Wine/proton and a database of install scripts and configurations for many games.

Bit off-topic, but if you would want to also play games from the Epic store or GOG, be sure to try Heroic Launcher.

It is master trolling, at least that is how I perceive this “religion”. It is like Pastafarianism, but much less obvious parody of the contemporary Christianity.

daddy32 ,

It is just too easy to shoot yourself in the foot when using a foot gun… Sure the experts can avoid it, but that doesn’t mean the foot gun is a good tool in general.

It sound like you are personally offended by this because you are Chinese, but as an European, I share your sentiment. I don’t trust either Chinese, nor American solutions. After all, after Snowden, we know American solutions are systematically compromised.

What games do you recommend for my girlfriend?

My girlfriend has never really gamed. But she’s now forced to move less than she would like to (health problem) and she’s getting bored. I was thinking of introducing her to a game or two that we could play together. She’s not the real action game type, and seeing as she has no experience with controller/mouse and keyboard...

Mindustry can also be had for free.
