Mmmm... soup. 🤤

He was just looking for an opportunity to say "AI slop"

Great price for a fun game. The runs are a bit longer than most rogue lites (I'm still on my first one after six hours) but I really enjoy the defend-the-base strategy, with both construction management and character customization. The number of units you get is just right to make each decision feel very impactful. The challenge level seems perfect, too. It always seems like I'm going to get overwhelmed, but I just barely manage to survive, and sometimes get enough lucky shots to earn prizes.

Referring to technological progress as slop is being very predictably monotonous. AI isn't exclusively a black box. There are tunings and imposed considerations that can be made so the AI DOES know about anything it needs to. The technology is only in preview form, and you seemingly expect immediate perfection, rather than incremental progress.

Yes, sir! Reporting for duty!

It's in ascending order, from least to worst of his offenses.

I don't think that's possible unless the LLM has access to the satellite to mile ratio. Likely an hallucination.

It did. The screenshot was from Google Maps which had the scale in the corner. I tried searching for a Google Maps plugin that offered the same functionality, but I couldn't find any that would let me free form draw a shape on the map. So I took a screenshot, drew a red shape, and gave it to Gemini. It showed me all the steps it was going through, the math looked legit and seemed realistic to me.

Stealing from artists 🙄

How is it stealing from an artist? No artist created it. This is even less like stealing than downloading pirated films. In both cases, no one lost anything. Are you arguing that had I not had access to generative AI that I would have sought out and paid someone to craft a wallpaper for me? I would not have. I'd just use some free art online. Where is the theft? Are you saying someone, somewhere already created my exact wallpaper? Shall I upload it, and you can tell me where it already exists and I could have purchased it?

Art is not about talent, it's about continuous, rigorous training and improvement over years.

Yes, time. I don't have those years. I spent my years studying machine learning instead.

And? They're still tools. They exist. They can be used for things other than fascism. Just today I used an LLM to determine the area of a plot of land from a satellite photograph. I used generative AI to create a phone wallpaper background that matched my phone case.

Did the fascists gain power over me?

Do you think it have been better if I spent my time manually measuring the area, determining the math, and calculating the area of land? Should I have made an inferior version of the wallpaper manually?

If you think so, you must have more time and creative talent than me. Enjoy your privilege, but don't shame those without.

Some, yes, not all. No one company created the technology. You can't use a blanket accusation to condemn all forms of machine learning just because Altman (OpenAI), Zuckerberg (Meta) and Elon Musk are obvious fascists, and they're championing the technology. Call them out specifically, it's more effective than "all AI bad."

Don't bother. Lemmy is host to an irrational, angry mob. There's plenty of good reasons to be angry but the mob is hyper focused on any form of machine learning because they can't understand it, and that breeds fear, frustration and anger faster than the the easily understandable institutes of corruption actually enslaving them. AI is a big, easy target - it will continue to be hated until the generations that hate it die out. Same as happened prior with the Internet, phones, and even cars.

Although, there's a FuckCars community, so maybe the mindset will cling on by adherents perpetuating their hate beyond their lifespans. Just like racism.

I think it will likely be able to be injected into any game that already supports DLSS. I wish that list was longer, but perhaps someone will create a wrapper so it works with any executable. Then it could work on older games and emulators. Preferably with tuning adjustments so you can find the sweet spot you're looking for.
