Agreed it was bad timing but yeah other companies have been charging more for games for years, calling it a "complete edition" or whatever, and locking people out of content of they don't pay the full price. But eh it is what it is.

You are being willfully ignorant if you think Sony has got the same negativity Nintendo has been getting recently. I have seen comments calling Nintendo a cancer on the gaming industry, calling for them to go bankrupt, etc. You can't pretend Nintendo doesn't get an undue amount of heat when they misstep. My headcanon is that the discrepancy is mostly due to 13 year olds in their edgy phase but it's still real.

fuck it, an meme

there he is. Vinny.

I feel like the amount of training data required for these AIs serves as a pretty compelling argument as to why AI is clearly nowhere near human intelligence. It shouldn't take thousands of human lifetimes of data to train an AI if it's truly near human-level intelligence. In fact, I think it's an argument for them not being intelligent whatsoever. With that much training data, everything that could be asked of them should be in the training data. And yet they still fail at any task not in their data.

Put simply; a human needs less than 1 lifetime of training data to be more intelligent than AI. If it hasn't already solved it, I don't think throwing more training data/compute at the problem will solve this.

Shareholders: why not all three?

This shit sucks for men too. I don't understand why anyone is against contraception.

Lol. I have no idea how Microsoft convinces these companies that they're the "secure" option. My workplace has banned any AI except copilot, because Microsoft told them copilot is secure.

Well tbf chatGPT also shouldn't remember and then leak those passwords lol.

Sure would be nice if capitalism didn't exist 🤪

You're taking the argument at it's most basic level, assuming that we would kill the billionaires and then sit around twiddling our thumbs. I don't think it's much of a leap to assume we'd change how the system works as well lol.

They would get anything the activity pub protocol gives them, which I can't imagine is much. I'd have to look into it but I assume they're pretty much only sharing the stuff you see.

... Ok so I looked it up (couldn't leave it on the assumption lol). https://activitypub.rocks/implementation-report/ Have a look at the standard here if you like. The only privacy related one I can see is the location header, but it's optional and not implemented by most fediverse apps.

That's not to say it will never become possible for Facebook to get more info. They will absolutely try to throw their weight around if they gain traction in the space, and could, in theory, require more info be shared for fediverse instances that want to federate with Threads. This is why it's important that fediverse admins don't get too chummy with the zucc.

Meta will absolutely try to appear friendly at first, perhaps offering open source development assistance, consulting or training, but it will be a farce to gain power in the space.

Meta are ruthless in the social media space.
