except their employee benefits package is guaranteed to touch companies impacted by it.

I don’t think it was a bug making the configuration change, I think there was a bug as a result of that change.

That specific combination of changes may not have been tested, or applied in production for months, and it just happened to happen today when they were needed for the first time since an update some time ago, hence the latent part.

But they do changes like that routinely.

I’ve never heard of this happening before? I’m sure it has, but first time for me.

Let’s assume for a moment that all OS are going to go this way.

Of all the modern well used OS, microsoft is the one I’d trust the least to do it.

I wonder if valve can multi purpose the SDK for streaming and give it to game devs and say use this sdk to determine where to adjust how things being rendered, and make it eventually a no brainer easy to use add on.

Does that mean there’s no forviated rendering in standalone mode?

How big a deal is this eye tracking that then only shows higher resolution stuff where you’re looking? Is it legit and works well, or is it a gimmick VR uses to say its’ better than it is?

If they shared the same processing unit it could also cut their costs down.

I still think there’s a difference.

When people talk about wielding money like power, its more along the lines of

• if you don’t do what I say, I’ll destroy you by doing XYZ.
• you better change your laws or I can fuck shit up in some way.
• I can break the law because you can’t fucking touch me.
• Your example: the power to command other people to do your bidding.

For Twitter he actually used his wealth as actual money to buy something you would buy with money.

He did get power from it yes, but I still think there’s a distinction when talking about wiedling it as power vs using money as money.

Unless you buy Twitter.

These are forward looking claims on something they are building. It’s not quite the same.

FSD is closer, but it is an improving product.

It’d be more like if FSD wasn’t ever improving even and yet he still kept making the claims.

He should still be punished for the FSD stuff though.

The only way a world like this could happen is if the governments get onboard and do a UBI or similar thing.

What’s going to happen is the robots will get made (by someone, eventually) workforces will start laying people off and there won’t be anywhere near enough jobs.

Now there’s 2 options for the USA

1. Government steps in does something to support people to have a comfortable (not poverty life)

2. Government bends to the corpos and does nothing and poverty and suffering skyrockets.

For the USA at least, I can’t see them doing #1. It would take a revolution to make a change like that happen, and it’d be bloody.

Just in time for all those windows PCs that MS is trying to force people to upgrade

And now the source code is part of copilot

I wonder if any aliens ever ran into this, if they’d be like wow, this tech is so low, let’s not bother with who sent it.

Or if they’d be like, it looks like it took 100 years to get here, let’s see what they did in 100 years.

Sometimes it’s explicitly called out for that reason ya. Can’t say all the time though.

But it’s my religious markings from my officially recognized religion/church.

Time to start wearing face paint / face tattoos that fuck with facial recognition.

when they have absolutely nothing to do with AI other than their poorly chosen marketing name

I worked somewhere once where they had an algorithm that placed items according to rules it was given, and it would output variations based on the rules to give the user some output options to work with. Think A or B could go here, and the different outcomes based on if you started with A or B.

It was pretty complex, but ultimately it was just a deterministic outcome of many possible deterministic outcomes based off the rules and what you started with.

They marketed that shit as AI.

It infuriated me.

No machine learning, no neural nets, no reinforcement learning, or learning of any kind, just placing things based off rules.

And don’t get me wrong, it was good, just not AI.

Hopefully there are people still working on non-llm type general AI, because i don’t think we’re ever going to get there with LLMs. The architecture just seems wrong to ever get there, and even Altman has said they probably can’t solve hallucinations. We can probably go very far down this road and get them pretty good, but it’s the wrong road if you want a real AI.
