Ok then it’s a more easy to use GIMP.

Yeah I mean it’s just a more easy to use Photoshop basically.

I agree people need to understand better the privacy risks of social media.

When you put out photos of yourself on the internet you should expect anyone to find them and do whatever they want to them.

Expect, yeah I guess. Doesn’t mean we should tolerate it. I expect murder to happen on a daily basis. People editing images of me on their own devices and keeping that to themself, that’s their business. But if they edit photos of me and proliferate, I think it becomes my business. Fortunately, there are no photos of me on the internet.

Edit: I basically agree with you regarding text content. I’m not sure why I feel different about images of me. Maybe because it’s a fingerprint. I don’t mind so much people editing pictures I post that don’t include my face. Hmm.

Yeah, they could have applied a logarithm or something.

I’d prefer to see downloads per country per capita.

This sounds like a cool idea because it is a novel approach, and it appeals to my general heuristic of the inevitability of technology and freedom. However, I don’t think it’s actually a good idea. People are entitled privacy, on this I hope we agree – and I believe this is because of something more fundamental: people are entitled dignity. If you think we’ll reach a point in this lifetime where it will be too commonplace to be a threat to someone’s dignity, I just don’t agree.

Not saying the solution is to ban the technology though.

I found around 150 hours in I was suddenly able to break free from the curse. Don’t install mods.

All good. Yeah I think morality is not really something religion helps with.

I’m not sure how that relates to what I said. Morality ≠ mortality.

It is very difficult to accept mortality if you don’t believe in an afterlife. Religion brings comfort, and comfort improves mental health (at the cost of some delusion).

It was previously announced that no announcement on switch 2 would be made until 2025

Ehh, I mean, it’s not really surprising it knows how to lie and will do so when asked to lie to someone as in this example (it was prompted not to reveal that it is a robot). It can see lies in its training data, after all. This is no more surprising than “GPT can write code.”

I don’t think GPT4 is skynet material. But maybe GPT7 will be, with the right direction. Slim possibility but it’s a real concern.

Make it 20. 10 is too obvious a slight to any onlooker. 20 still won’t cover most mains post-covid after tax and tip (depends on your region and the restaurant of course).

Sometimes a bullshitter is what you need. Ever looked at a multiple choice exam in a subject you know nothing about but feel like you could pass anyway just based on vibes? That’s a kind of bullshitting, too. There are a lot of problems like that in my daily work between the interesting bits, and I’m happy that a bullshit engine is good enough to do most of that for me with my oversight. Saves a lot of time on the boring work.

It ain’t a panacea. I wouldn’t give a gun to a monkey and I wouldn’t give chatgpt to a novice. But for me it’s awesome.

This is an absolutely wonderful graph. Thank you for teaching me about the trough of disillusionment.

Yes of course, I agree this is the rationale for sure. Still I blame Microsoft (and Sega as I’ve just discovered) for this.

:O I had I idea!!

Yes, I know I can remap, but I’m just too stupid to be able to remember that the confirm/cancel buttons are swapped so I’m constantly messing that up. It’s especially a problem on the steam deck, which has Microsoft’s layout.

Somehow, when I’m holding an xbox controller, my brain just knows that the A button has to be the south button.

See the other comment.

The problem is that they took Nintendo’s button names (ABXY) and transposed their positions. It’s utter chaos, and very hard for me at least to remember that A is B and B is A.

Beyond Earth?

Oh they’re very good controllers! The problem is that they took Nintendo’s button names (ABXY) and transposed their positions. It’s utter chaos, and very hard for me at least to remember that A is B and B is A.

Playstation, by contrast, came up with entirely new button symbols, so it’s much less confusing that O -> A.

The APIs for gamepad interfacing are a total mess now, with some based on button names and some on position (south/east/west/north).
