What is the purpose of this? It seems designed to muddy the waters of reality vs. falsehood and put creatives in film/tv out of jobs. Real Jurassic Park moment here
They mention some possible applications in the video. Training environments for robotics (use sample data to simulate the surface of mars or the inside of a nuclear reactor), educational worlds for students (like the old Encarta virtual tours), and disaster preparedness simulations (e.g. training firefighters on an endless variety of burning homes).
Obviously, none of these are super viable given the low accuracy and steerability of world models out today, but positive applications for this kind of tech do exist.
Also (I'm speculating now instead of restating the video), I think pretty soon someone will hook up a real time version of this to a voice model, and we will get some kind of interactive voice + keyboard (or VR) lucid dream experience.
Arrogant profit seeking capitalist dick measuring that will break our societies and ours and our childrens worldviews under some pathetic label of "exploring a new scientific frontier"
> how you copied that long text from your distraught girlfriend and asked it for some response ideas
good lord, if tech were ethical then there would be mandatory reporting when someone consults an LLM to tell them how they should be responding to their intimate partner. are your skills of expression already that hobbled by chat bots?
> are your skills of expression already that hobbled by chat bots?
You have it backwards. My skills of expression were hobbled by my upbringing, and others' thoughts on self-expression allowed my skills to flourish. I wish I had a chat bot to help me understand interpersonal communication because I could have actually had good examples growing up.
Although I'm in a similar boat as you, I don't think access to ChatGPT would have helped because it's still much too sycophantic to tell people the kinds of things they need to hear in order to learn interpersonal skills.
If you use ChatGPT like people use /r/AmITheAsshole, you'll never get a YTA.
These are just concrete examples to get the imagination going, not an exhaustive list of the ways that you are revealing your true self in the folds of your LLM chat history.
Note that it doesn't have to go all the way to "he gets Claude to help him win text arguments with his gf" for an uncomfortable amount of your self to be revealed by the chats.
There is always something icky about someone observing messages you wrote in privacy, and you don't have to have particularly unsavory messages for it to be icky. Why is that?
i don't personally see messages with an LLM as being different from, say, terminal commands. it's a machine interface. it sounds like you're anthropomorphizing the chat bot, if you're talking to it like you would a human then i would be more worried about the implications that has for you as a person.
What does this comment add to the conversation? It feels like an personal attack with no real rebuttal. People with anthropomorphise them all talk to them, the human-like interface is the entire selling point.
Do you think there is nothing private about your terminal commands? Would you be 100% ok with bash sending all of your command lines to a corporation with a database?
I would highly recommend that anyone interested in reading manga on an e-reader check out the boox page: https://shop.boox.com/products/page
I have had this for a year and change and use it interchangeably for books and manga. The 7 inch display is sharp and I use CDisplayex to read manga in horizontal mode with both pages displayed to preserve spreads and other multi page layouts. It works like a dream and I've ready literally hundreds of volumes of manga this way. It also natively support FTP and runs Android, so you don't need to do anything special beyond dropping the files on your device.
Lucky for you that if you remove the "ai" subdomain here then you get a traditional "human-first" website.
Really though, how is this all that different from making candidates type their resume into a form then filtering in their ATS? Seems like a nice ergonomic approach if they're actually set up to use MCPs in candidate sourcing (probably won't be the case for at least another year).
Honestly really sad that so many people are so paranoid from years of being fed right wing propaganda that they block much-needed investment coming to their community. I grew up in Michigan and I know towns like Big Rapids - like much of the state, they're stuck in a doom spiral where people and capital are leaving with nothing being done to stop it. Americans are content eating themselves if it means not giving an inch to imagined enemies.
How quickly do you think that manufacturers could set up American fab plants? Domestic chip production on the level of TSMC is several years out even if all available resources were directed toward it now.
They're not particularly behind TSMC. The issue is one of costs - TSMC is cheaper. If Trump hits them with tariffs, suddenly it's no longer cheaper than fabbing with Intel.
Intel's fabs aren't competitive, period. They might compete when 18A gets taped out, but that's been in development hell for years now and is struggling to leave the sampling stage. TSMC has a track record of profitable EULV yields and can even charge competitors for fab access. I say that as an Intel apologist.
If Trump's goal is to make imported chips unprofitable, then he's going to push America backwards. Even Intel doesn't use Intel's fabs for high performance or high efficiency designs at this point.
If there's a 100% tariff on Taiwan made products, I assure you, Intel will be deemed competitive. Apple isn't going to double their BOM cost just to eke out another 10-20% in performance.
Apple is one of the only companies in modern existence that could take a 2x hit to their SOC price and still turn an enormous profit on their hardware alone. There are non-Intel options Apple might consider like the TSMC Arizona plant, but Apple would only pick Intel as a fab partner over Tim Cook's dead body.
Don't forget that Apple's leadership is basically glued to Trump's hip for this administration. They'll be getting closer to the 25% rate for sure, and that's absolutely feasible with the margins Apple makes.
I'm trying to build a text-based open-world massively multiplayer game in the style of GTA. Trying. It's really difficult. My bet is on driving the game with narration so my prompts are fueled with abstract notions borrowed from the various theories in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narratology, and this is why I complain about ChatGPT's default ideas.
The comment you're replying to is referring to the video game industry crash in North America in the early 1980s. Basically the market was flooded with games of poor quality due to a lot of factors, including Atari's complete lack of quality control on games they put on their 2600 console. Nintendo ended up redesigning their Famicom console as the Nintendo Entertainment System with an emphasis on it looking like a VCR as opposed to a cheap game console like NA audiences were used to (the Famicom itself is fairly small and plasticky with permanently attached controllers). Additionally they were strict about licensing development on the system with the goal of fostering a crop of family friendly, high quality games. It was a couple years after the fact (iirc) but Nintendo's efforts to differentiate themselves in the wake of the crash obviously payed off and led to a long period of Japanese ascendancy in the games markets. So the crash cleared out a lot of the market and led to a huge opportunity for Nintendo.
No, this has been directly confirmed by Nintendo developers at various points. For people to even be able to try SMB, they'd have to be convinced that the NES wouldn't suffer the fate of the Atari 2600 and the like. It wasn't just about the VCR-looking design - the marketing materials had very careful wording to avoid associations with the failed game consoles, and accessories like R.O.B. (that never even existed in Japan!) were mostly made to make the NES look like a complex electronic toy, and not a game console.
The big story with this new Zelda game, and why it is able to include so many deep and interlocking systems on top of a staggering amount of content, comes down to institutional knowledge at Nintendo. Many of the people working on or giving input on this game have been making Zelda games for decades. Eiji Aonuma, the current producer of the Zelda series, directed every mainline Zelda from Ocarina to Twilight Princess. Hidemaro Fujibayashi was at Capcom when he directed Oracle of Ages/Seasons, Four Swords, and the Minish Cap in the late 90s and early 2000s. Skyward Sword was the first Zelda he directed and he went on to direct Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. While Western games studios crush their developers with crunchtime and pursue flashy graphics over deep systems, Nintendo nurtures and retains its internal talent and as a result they do far more with technically inferior hardware. Contrast Tears of the Kingdom's smooth launch with the ongoing debacle of Overwatch 2 from Blizzard, whose devs just announced they won't be delivering one of the core promised features of the sequel. Obviously not every Western studio is as bad as Activision/Blizzard, but Nintendo running circles around everyone on 7 year old mobile phone hardware should prompt some serious soul searching for Western games execs.
Hey thanks for your Pocket cores, man. I really appreciate how fully featured the SNES core feels, even if it doesn't have save state support. You're doing the lord's work!
Thank you. I want to point out that the SNES core is not my own, I just did the port to Pocket. The real praise goes to srg320 (https://github.com/srg320) who has been in Ukraine all this time and is still pumping out updates.
