It's not weird, though. They either hope to profit from these corporations' activities, or they're just prosperity theologists. Neither thing is rare.

That's how literally everything works, not just speech.

When you have rights without responsibilities, nothing works.

"OpenAI says an unreleased internal model has produced 372 results that either resolve or make substantial progress on open problems"

Look at how much we're accomplishing!

"which was produced through the collective efforts of a 10,000-strong agentic swarm that cost millions of dollars in computing power"

Look at how impressive our hardware is!

The rapeublicans are literally running the Nazi playbook, which is ironic because that was inspired by the USA's laws about slavery. Now which is the party of slavery again? I think I'll go with the party that controls the state where we still have slaves picking cotton.

Slashdot was relevant.

Weird they want to remind us of that.

He's literally insane. His earliest posts weren't like this.

My Ninja coffee maker has a clock, nice little blue-green one. I set it maybe once and it is easy to do. But now I just let it show some completely wrong time because I don't need to time when my coffee will brew and I won't bother checking it for the time when I have like 20 other ways to find out
 

Yes. This.

Didn't someone already do that with the Doom map editor?

Then maybe just give up. Read a book or jerk off or something.

To think, there was a time before we took a hard turn into Idiocracy 2: Now With Stupid Nazis.

Not that things were all rainbows and unicorns. I remember the early 2000's and 1990's quite well. We were both optimistic that the Cold War was over and we wouldn't have to duck and cover. But also we were cynical or depressed about the state of news media, reporting, politics, and the general lack of interest from the public to improve anything. In a few short decades we went from spindoctors and talking heads to mango-fascism. How innocent we all once were.

I guess it's probably about to get an order of magnitude worse and the only way to navigate it will be crowdsourcing, but the gaming world already feels much like people are prompting their way to releasing games. Remember the days when there were only dozens or hundreds of games released per year? What seems crazy to me is that although most of them have very low-quality assets, there's so many actually playable and working games which are more or less fully realized, at least to the point that they have entire communities. I guess that's a testament to the ease of game creation with some of these engines.

The interesting AI-related question to me is whether it's going to increase or decrease average quality. TBH I think it might actually increase it, because so many of these games are so half-assed. At minimum it should make them prettier.

Agents don't cause attacks. People running agents do.

The people who ran the agents were negligent at best but I have an alternate theory.

If they knew the technology could go sideways and hack things then they effectively executed those hacks intentionally.

If not they are only negligently ignorant which is not generally a crime in this context.

They like it when they are the ones with exclusive access because they feel special.

They don't like it otherwise but rapidly forget they paid to be fucked over.

Go back further and you'll see he wasn't like that until Obama got elected.

Racism broke his brain.
