I mean… one one hand it’s hardly supprising. Off the bat we know AI is more knowledgable than any single individual that doesn’t bother to research… and well 80% of online forum type posts aren’t exactly researched. second, AI can confidently bullshit in a way that can only be debunked easily by someone knowledgeable.
I mean off the bat that’s one of the worse combinations of people/product I’ve ever seen. I mean off the bat electric car’s target market is people that want to think they are doing something better for the environment.
So… then the guy making them goes loudly in the “fuck the environment” group.
To top it off though, Cybertruck itself always confuses me. I don’t know who the target audience is. The original tesla’s I could look at and think, that’s a cool car, if they ever came down in price I’d be interested.
Cybertruck you look at and think… What a car would look like if you scaled up games from the 32/64 bit console era and made them HD without increasing the polygon count.
Unless democracy is disbanded I don’t see that happening. He may be the same kind of con artist that trump is… but I can’t see him ever getting that loser nerd image out of the heads of any group no matter how much MMA training he takes.
God damn… pretty sure humans can’t even successfully have children at 5,
But wouldn’t we have to factor in like… just 5 monthers ago life expectency was so low that teenage mothers was the norm.
We’re talking about the need for a system to deal with major access of a main facebook/insta/twitter etc… to a majority of people.
IE of the scale that someone can go “Hey I bet my aunt that I haven’t talked to in 15 years might be on here, let me check”. Not a common occourance in a closed off discord community.
Also, noting that doesn’t fully solve the primary problem… of still being at the whims and controls of a single point of failure. of which if Discord Inc could at any point in time decide to spy on closed rooms, censor any content they dislike etc…
10th largest instance being like 10k users… we’re talking about the need for a solution to help pull the literal billions of users from mainstream social media
To me the reality of it is so damn stupid, If this were back to lying about quake, that’s one thing. He’s claiming on games with continual progression however. Of which even if you have amazing skill, it’s meaningless without time. IE it would be well understood that if someone is in those leaderboards legitimately, they’ve been living the NEET lifestyle (IE spending almost all waking hours playing the game), not say… on a nation tour following around a presidential candidate, while also forming a new government consulting group, spending considerable time on twitter as a user… and being a micromanaging incompetent CEO at 4+ companies.
Concept is however that if a new instance is detatched from the old one… then it’s basically the same story of leaving myspace for facebook etc… we go through the long vetting process etc… over and over again, userbase fragments reaching critical mass is a challange every time. I mean yeah if we start with a circle of 10 trusted networks. One goes wrong it defederates, people migrate to one of the 9 or a new one gets brought into the circle. but actual vetting is a difficult process to go with, and makes growing very difficult.
Isn’t that basically the same result though…
Problem with tech oligarchy is it just takes one person to get corrupted and then he blocks out all opinion that attacks his goals.
So the solution is federation, free speech instances that everyone can say whatever they want no matter how unpopular.
How do we counteract the bots…
Well we need the instances to verify who gets in, and make sure the members aren’t bots or saying unpopular things. These instances will need to be big, and well funded.
How do we counter these instance owners getting bought out, corrupted (repeat loop).
I mean really depends whether or not he manages to continue to succesfully own the US government. He made basically statements along the lines of if trump loses the election he could go to jail. I assume he’s betting on either the trump administration killing democracy… or being able to buy the next election too. Or perhaps just often enough that the supreme court never gets fixed.
I mean both… obviously if you want to get on trumps good side you combine bribing with censoring content he doesn’t like, and making sure not to censor or even fact check his lies.
Wonder how he’d fare against trump at golf.
Doubles down too, because within a week the novelty wears off and the rich people don’t use it, it’s just sitting in the corner, collecting their data, possibly raking in a subscription fee that they forgot about.
Obviously the point is selective enforcement… IE Musk can ban anyone “impersonating” himself or any of the white supremicists he likes… while he can chose not to enforce the rules on people that may be trying to damage his opponents.
Much like the “no negativity” rule.
Oh one further side note, gatebox didn’t go under, nor did the service fully discontinue. It just lost the license for Hatsune Miku. So in short it’s only unhappy for the sort of people that actually go all in to the mindset. (IE the guy could go to one that says and does all of the same things as his old one did, but not with the same face and voice, and probably could have avoided the problem if he started with something that was property of gatebox, and not licensed from a game).
Don’t have instagram so I cant look past the first page of thumbnails… but is one of those pics of him with a girl in a wedding dress? Or is he just at a friends wedding with a life sized miku doll.
What’s more weird to me is… acting like this is new…
Right though that’s my point.
Minimum specs etc… is something PC gamers are more than used to… but also why there’s a large console market that doesn’t game on PCs.
My fear is bad acting OEMs… playing on user ignorance to assume automatically that the steamOS logo means it can run most games, and shipping out hardware that utterly fails at that use purpose, and as uneducated consumers may think the “runs steamOS”, logo could be some form of endorsement from valve to imply it in fact is suitable for gaming.
Maybe we hit a regular cycle…
IE Data is all trained on real video, gets good enough that humans cannot differentiate. Real video becomes rare, AIs are now training on AI videos. Result… AI video becomes effectively copy of copy of copy of copy… degredation becomes obvious. as mistakes are now compounding. AI developers have to start creating and introducing un-tampered video to train with. AI starts to get better.
