Work is halted for now, will resume in 1-2 business days...

Today on Life:
Trash got turned inside out on the street, had to pick that up in the morning.
License plate got stolen and someone was speeding with it, will have to go to the police station.
Got a scam text message that my water bill is too late, had to report that.

@bitinn "Do you want to get paid ads in your LLM because this is how you get paid ads your LLM?" Just have to change the direction on the money from Content towards the AI...

@neilhenning @Doomed_Daniel @dotstdy @rcl This is exactly what the Oppenheimer movie is about. "Nuclear power is cool! Yeah but the Nazis might also have it and use it for bad. Let's make a bomb so they can't surprise us with it. Now that we have it we might as well use it." Let's not repeat more of that era... we're already too close as it is.

@fasterthanlime It probably got the "bullshit job" title because of how much perceived value it provides but honestly developing intranet business applications feels like it provides 0 value to the world. And I enjoy a well-made YouTube video as much as the next person so I see way more value in that.

@neilhenning Yes it is inevitable. The machines have taken over the assembly lines and we've learned to live with that. We'll do so with AI as well. No problem in that.

But just as there are alternatives to fossil fuel and coal-based power plants, there must be an alternative to tech conglomerates having to buy said power plants and natural water features so they can make Stack Overflow and online therapy obsolete.

@neilhenning
I'm on the edge about this, leaning a bit towards the against side.
I agree that we could make it extremely useful but the hardest question is "at what cost?"
Do we really need yet another technology with such harsh and immediate environmental effects?
And the evolution of the tech will start with "marketability" and not with lessening those effects.

@shivoa Exactly!

Can someone make a videogame with the Nemesis System implemented for a global release and a totally randomised version, ignoring all user generated events for a US version? They can thank WB Games for the fucked up version.

If I understand correctly, the patent has only been registered in the US, the EU application went nowhere and they didn't even try in other regions. Is that correct?

Skyblivion is Oblivion in Skyrim.
Now that we have the Oblivion remake, will someone start Oblivirim, which is remaking Skyrim in Oblivion?

@tezemi Into the Sipder-Worse <3

@djlink Furi, Bastion, Minecraft, TES: Oblivion, Diablo2+3

So this is what it feels like living in a world at the mercy of dangerous dragons roaming the skies with their endless greed and unimaginable powers. Ok now we know, can we go back now?

@ben Then when the AI just gives them the same solutions they've been ignoring for decades, they'll be like "AI is not that smart after all. Here, this new tech fad will help us reverse the effects in the next decade."

Me at everyone if I had the patience to bake homemade stuff.
"You don't know what it is! You don't know how to use it, so give it to me! COME ON! I can make BREAD with it! Bread! Bread! Bread! BREAD! BREAD!"

The end is nigh. The world's burning. Not much until the choir lays silent, none to answer the last call of "Mana...mana..."

Either I haven't met this one before or it's just not a thing yet but I think saying "good content" when you hear someone tell a story you like should be a thing. Right? It fits the slang meta.

Example:
"And after the date we went home and played SmashBros all night."
"Good content."

Brain: "We only have a limited time to make this entire fantasy town before the next D&D game comes. Hurry!"

Also brain: "So if we design the lever, gear and rope system like this, then they wouldn't have to turn the ox around when they want to reverse the direction of the elevator to the docks. Wait no, they would also need a break system while the gears are being moved around, and also so that the ox are not responsible for holding it in place either. Maybe also an emergency break system?"

@aeva That's what a game I worked on did. They allowed decompilation and such for modding and learning purposes. Good shit!

The feeling of being a fumbling historian in a weird world because you only guestimated your custom D&D world's important dates until recently but now you have to get exact ones for story reasons.
