Comment What about account age? (Score 1) 166

Discord is about 10 years old now, so it canâ(TM)t quite come up yet that it would have accounts in use for 16 years. Still leaves the question about would this policy apply in such a case? If it does, that seems like it might imply Discord is treating the account as being used by someone other than the original owner. Which also raises questions.

Sounds about right. JJ Abrams movies are mindless action/adventure style flicks with an <X> theme/skin/style. Where <X> is Star Trek or whatever.

If that's what you're looking for, great. If you wanted an <X> movie, you're out of luck.

Naturally, that level of mindlessness is likely easy for today's AI to generate....

Since sentience boils down to having at least one sense (input) and being able to make sense of it (make a model of it), it seems to be edging into yes.

An analogy I make with things in this field is that a human equivalent to these is someone with a super talent in remixing anything digital, but that is developmentally stuck as a three year old.

From what I recall of earlier work in the field, the three year old equivalency seems to be where things have been for well over a decade. And still is stuck there.

Making LLMs might be a research track to see if that gives people ideas in how to get past the three year old equivalency, but I fear the industry has widespread belief that LLMs will magically directly push past the stall.

Let me get this straight... you're suggesting Putin should be in charge of people's food and drink? I don't think there'd be a whole lot of demand for a Polonium Frappe...

Is there any job he wouldn't be able to weaponize? He was in the KGB for 16 or so years.

And the same thing has happened in other contexts, with much longer grace periods.

When Solaris 2 shipped, it came with a deprecated Solaris 1 compatibility package. 20 years later (Solaris 11), the new servers no longer had it available. Cue all the developers writing new scripts yelling to be given access to something that was no longer there.
