How are they going to understand a language that doesn’t exist yet?

Calling a bomb threat on the plane just before takeoff. That’ll really confuse things but it’ll get the job done.

So you going to head back to a random Wednesday and be like nope not happening yet, let’s try tomorrow, nope. Maybe next week?

Would they though? I think if anything most industries and economies would be booming, more disposable income results in more people buying stuff. This results in more profitable businesses and thus more taxes are collected. More taxes being available to the government means better public services.

Even the banks would benefit, loans would be more stable since the delinquency rate would be much lower if everyone had better pay.

The only people who would lose out would be the idiot day traders who rely on uncertainty and quite a lot of luck in order to make any money. In a more stable global economy businesses would be guaranteed to make money and so there would be no cheap deals that could be made.

I keep being told by experts that AGI is inevitable. Yet all I ever see is people constantly go on about LLMs, so I don’t know what to think. Are they lying, is it all just a bubble that’s going to burst or is there actually some utility there that is being hidden by the LLM hype? If so, can’t we just use the actual AI rather than these other things.

The problem is that we absolutely can build a sustainable society on our own. We’ve had the blueprints forever, the Romans worked this out centuries ago, the problem is that there’s always some power seeking prick who messes it up. So we gave up trying to build a fair society and just went with feudalism and then capitalism instead.

As long as they have one employee who just constantly renames products, they will be okay.

I bet they’re really pissed off with ubisoft right now. They basically started this whole movement by being so egregious with The Crew. Less than a month before they shut the servers down the game was still on sale for the full price that it had launched with.

Granted it was shut down because it was the most mediocre game ever made but that still isn’t an excuse.

You’re comparing apples and oranges. The A71 isn’t supposed to be comparable with a pixel 9.

You’re comparing the three-door Nissan to a Lamborghini

What are you talking about? The article doesn’t mention him.

I know a few people who used to work for Apple. The reason a lot don’t say it though is because if you do people automatically assume you had something to do with whatever feature they don’t personally like, and you get berated about it.

Is the best defence you have is it everyone else is just as bad that’s not really he defence, that’s just coopism.

The very least he could do is not sell unsafe vehicles. It’s literally the very least he can do but he can’t be asked to do that because of his ego. I condemn him for that.

I think a lot of people didn’t hear about this guy until about 2 days ago. Personally I didn’t even know about this petition.

I knew about the lawsuit against The Crew, but I didn’t know anything about any more general petition, so I think the greater problem was simply a lack of advertising.

He worked at Blizzard in the same way that Apple store employees work for Apple. They do, but not in the capacity that’s been implied.

I can’t tell if you’re serious or not.

If the internet is down then I don’t have access to the app store. Also if the internet’s down then the data is going to be out of date almost immediately anyway so any cached version would be useless.

How would a novice programmer even know if the code that they’re writing isn’t breaking something else?

I’ve tried getting AI to program really simple things, like converting street addresses into latitude and longitude coordinates, and the code it produces is just awful.

It’s not ready at all for primetime yet, I really wish people would stop pushing it. It’ll get there I’m sure but it needs more time.

Then don’t buy a steam deck. As I said in my comment any handheld PC will do it doesn’t have to be a steam deck.

I’m not surprised it got a bad answer though. The government was completely dysfunctional by that point (and had been well over a year), I wouldn’t be surprised if it was just some random civil servant who was just told to weave a fig leaf at it.
