and basically no real use outside of generating misinformation and stealing from artists

This shows you think all AI are LLMs or generative art. Those are only the most visible faces of the tech, and you’re showing your name ignorance of the field.

Not necessarily.

This does not end up how you think it does. Not allowing for unchecked corporate power doesn’t mean consolidation of government power into the hands of a few.

Our system is broken because we allow corporations to go around the people and buy influence directly from politicians. Not all systems have to do that.

But Removing the people that corporations are currently buying influence from doesn’t mean they do being bad. It just means they have even fewer obstacles to doing what they want than they do now.

I was pretty surprised by the barrenness of my wishlist. There’s been shockingly few titles I’ve been that excited about. Almost nothing in the AAA realm. And the few things that I am waiting to come out have been on that list for several years already…

Getting rid of any concept of a state is what allows corporations to fill the gap. It’s corporate feudalism. The only thing that can push back against a collective entity is another collective entity.

She was underage. Even if he hadn’t paid her, it was illegal.

Most AI are not built to answer questions. They’re designed to act as some kind of detection/filter heuristic to identify specific things about an input that leads to a desired output.

If you can still use it after you stole it, as opposed to not being able to use it at all… Then it does give you an incentive

It wouldn’t be. It would still work. It just wouldn’t be exclusively available to the group that created it-any competitive advantage is lost.

But all of this ignores the real issue - you’re not really punishing the use of unauthorized data. Those who owned that data are still harmed by this.

Making it open source doesn’t change how it works. It doesn’t need the data after it’s been trained. Most of these AIs are just figuring out patterns to look for in the new data it comes across.

Yes, you’re all doing it wrong…by doing it at all.

These chat bots only have a limited pool of responses, to prevent them saying weird shit. They’re just looking for certain key words or things closely related to their key words that direct them to specific lines.

Company I work at has a very similar one. And it’s not likely checking to see if there’s anybody working the queue before it asks if you want a live human

They literally pretend to drink the blood of their god, and munch on his corpse.

So… if it has robots and space and cloning, its science fiction and if it doesn’t it’s not?

At no point did I say this. Even remotely.

You can’t just inverse something I said and assume it’s still equivalent. You’d think someone this passionate about reading would have a higher level of comprehension…

There was no point in me reading past this pathetic strawman. Hope you enjoyed writing that pointless essay.

Bloated administration took advantage of the guaranteed federal money that was the idiotic fix for exploding college prices after the public funding stopped. Which only made prices increase more

Sure, I guess post-secondary is the term usually used

Sorry, no. Genre doesn’t require a specific theme. This is some literature vs pulp gatekeeping.

Aliens, Mech suits and remotely controlled vat-grown body doubles aren’t enough to make it sci Fi?

Tbf, the air on Pandora is toxic to humans. That was the entire point of using the avatars in the first movie… Wouldn’t exactly call that suitable for sustaining the life of our species

And that material they found in the planet was some fictional things humans had never encountered before.
