Yeah, I got that, but this was the particular part I was reacting to:
"He continued, “And applied to AI? That’s a terrifying possibility. Terrifying. Not least because as AI systems go into the defense infrastructure, ultimately they’ll be charged with nuclear weapons and if we allow people to say that that’s a separate entity from the person’s whose wielding, programming, putting AI into use, then we’re doomed."
Possibly I misread it.
Excuse me, what? I fervently hope nobody is considering letting an "AI" get anywhere near anything nuclear! Despite whoever happens to be in the White House at any particular time, the upper echelons of the US military seem to be generally sane and smart enough to know that allowing glorified predictive text to control city-destroying superweapons is a bad idea.
AIs aren't anything of the sort. They're not intelligent at all, and we should stop calling them that. It just gives people weird, unrealistic ideas about their capabilities.
I'm still using Reddit for some stuff, but much less than I was. I have no doubt this will fully replace it at some point just as Mastodon has completely replaced Twitter for me.
Most flavours of metal, hard rock, punk, some blues stuff like SRV and Gary Moore. Basically, if it has loud guitars in it, I'm there.
While you're correct, it's just a clunky term. I think some other way to refer to the whole thing will probably come along soon, and in a few years, people will regard saying fediverse the same way we look back on people talking about "surfing the information superhighway" or whatever.
There's more than that too. Like Pixelfed for images and Funkwhale for music streaming.
Check out this Feditips thread for a bunch of stuff.
If you liked Shadowrun Returns, I'd definitely recommend the sequels - Dragonfall and Shadowrun: Hong Kong. That first one was more of a proof of concept kind of thing. It was fun, but it was more about showing the gameplay could work. The other two are a massive improvement in the level of storytelling.
I say sequels, but they're not actually related story or character wise. They can be played in any order. I'd say Dragonfall has the better story and Hong Kong has the better characters, but they're both great and well worth your time.
They did, but they're back. Probably not many of the same people, if any, so it remains to be seen if they've still got it, but the Expanse game looks awesome, and who can resist playing as Drummer? :)
Farscape has been covered, so to bring up something that definitely hasn't been mentioned, Charlie Jade. A Canadian/South African co-production from the 2000s about three parallel Earth versions of Cape Town colliding. Awesome show, but I don't think I've ever met anyone who knows it.
Damn right. Pretty much my favourite show ever!
As the meme goes, if you saw someone stealing food, no, you didn't. Poor people gotta eat too.
I do not understand why Google has become so ossified. They must know they're strangling their own business, surely? Do they somehow think they're irreplaceable? That no one will ever build a better search engine? And the best they can come up with is AI-generated search nonsense? As if that's going to help.
Stop trying to make maximum profits for minimum effort, fire whatever useless exec is in charge over there, and get someone who actually wants to fix things before someone eats your lunch, Google!
