I can’t tell what makes me cringe more. This politician announcing a “Gamers Rise Up Act” a month before election, clearly pandering for votes, or the non-zero number of sad men who will actually vote for him because video games.
Altering DNA can be done in two ways and for two reasons, giving four scenarios with varying ethical considerations. The ways are somatic and germline and the reasons are therapeutic and enhancement.
Somatic cells are cells which aren’t involved in reproduction. Changes to somatic cells don’t get passed on to children. Changes to germline cells do cause those changes to be inherited. A therapeutic reason is to eliminate a disease. An enhancement would be something like making someone taller or giving them blue eyes.
Altering somatic cells for therapeutic reasons isn’t any different than other medicine. Altering germline cells for enhancement reasons isn’t any different than eugenics.
Altering somatic cells for enhancement reasons and altering germline cells for therapeutic reasons are where the debates tend to be. While having the procedures done can be considered a huge benefit, it can be argued that they could also create biases against people who don’t have them performed, which is essentially the plot of the sci-fi movie GATACA.
There was a team decompiling Super Smash Bros Melee. It was slow going and they eventually switched to using AI to do it. You can tell where they switched if you look at the source code they published.
The old sections done by hand contain function names like “HSD_PadGetRawQueueCount()” containing variables like “queue_count” and “interrupt”. The new sections generated by AI contain functions names like “Fighter_Spaghetti_8006AD10()” with variables like “x221F_b3” and “x2224_b2”. This is slightly better than reading the raw assembly, but clearly nobody in the group understands what the new sections control or how they work if they can’t even give the functions and variables proper names.
So what’s the point? Why decompile Assembly nobody can understand if the result is archaic C code nobody can understand?
This seems to be the mathematical equivalent of using AI to submit 200 unverified pull requests to an open source project and then telling the maintainers it’s their job to figure it all out.
The one mathematician saying he’s not going to spend hours of his time to verify if a slop report is true, let alone do it for dozens of reports, reminds me of all those projects making rules that unverified AI pull requests will be trashed.
Like, he actually stole her name and keeps it in his mouth? Is Chris Rock a fae?
I believe the companies that own the patents on those types of drugs forbid them from being used for lethal injection. It’s why prisons are using weird mixes of drugs they acquire from unknown sources that don’t seem to actually work the way they intend.
I’m sure the companies that have scraped the entirety of the internet for training data have been foiled by that one user replacing some letters in their comments (but not their posts) on lemmy.
This meme was generated by a cityslicker
There’s even a scene in the Yakuza games where some characters go to a fancy restaurant and the menus are all in kanji. One of them admits he can’t read the menu and the rest of them say they’re having a hard time too. The owner then says it’s common and that maybe he should update the menus to include kana to get with the times.
I figured this must be at least a somewhat common experience if the devs decided to include a scene like that.
AI CEOs in interviews: Our model is so advanced it scares me. It definitely has the ability to cure cancer, but it may also decide to kill all humans.
AI in their advertising: Our model can send emails and create shopping lists.
The TVTropes article for this seems to be Even Evil Has Standards. The idea being to emphasize that something or someone is so evil that even an evil person finds it appalling.
The statement:
Normally, we would not comment on unsubstantiated speculation on the internet, but these aspersions around our relationship with PlayStation, the commercial performance of the DEATH STRANDING franchise, and the broader production planning and investment for PHYSINT, have reached beyond the studio and have touched our fans, our creative partners, and colleagues we have worked alongside with for three decades. None of the claims written came from any official or on-the-record source and as such we encourage you to take them with a dose of scepticism.
I always thought people were joking when they asked for sauce “for science”
Follow up question: Have you ever read a thread where a bunch of people are arguing and changed your opinion because of it?
Personally, I’ve never changed my mind because of an online post. I’ve changed my mind from articles, papers, documentaries, video essays, discussions with friends and family, but never from a comment section.
Because this is the name and logo of the CILT. Why would someone change it for a meme when they could copy paste it direct from the site? Why would this group not use their own logo on signs?
Are people using AI to make fake signs now?
Lesson learned! You need a licenced character on the cover if you want idiots to buy it!
Sony gave Kojima $100 million for Death Stranding and it took years for it to break even. His games are cherished, but they’re far from the biggest earners. I’d hate to be the budget guy constantly having Kojima blow up my phone saying he needs another $5 million because he wants a side character to be played by Pedro Pascal.
