hey dawg if you want to be anti-capitalist that’s great, but please interrogate yourself on who exactly is developing LLMs and who is running their PR campaigns before you start simping for AI and pretending like a hallucination engine is a helpful tool in general and specifically to help people understand complex topics where precision and nuance are needed and definitely not fucking hallucinations. Please be serious and for real

For you, the day Disney graced your independent research lab was the most important day of your life. But for Disney, it was Tuesday.

Got curious and wanted to see if I could beat the Atari 2600. Found an online emulator here.

"Easiest" difficulty appears to be 8, followed by 1, then increasing in difficulty up to 7. I can beat 8, and the controls and visuals are too painful for me to try anything more than this.

AI doomers in MI:FRSo in FR, there’s a “rogue AI” that starts taking over cyberspace, and quickly gains control of the nuclear arsenals of some countries. This prompts some people to believe that the AI will bring about a humanity evolution event through doomsday, so they decide to go full Basilisk and begin infiltrating different organisations in order to help the AI take over the world.

Compare & contrast to LW doomers, who nominally want to prevent AI from going rogue or killing everyone, but are also nominally supposed to infiltrate various organisations to stop AI development, up to and including nuclear strikes on data centres (lol)

Anyway, best moment for me was when the MC fights an AI doomers and tells him he spends too much time on tje internet.

Just watched MI: Final Reckoning. Spoiler free comments: I didn’t know that this and the previous film featured an AI based plot. AI doomers feature in a funny way, seemingly inspired by LW doomers, tho definitely not.
