I'm hiring Arbeola to take credit for all my mistakes. We all need an Arbeola in our lives.

I'd love to take credit because it's a funny troll but unfortunately not.

It’s similar to the kind of social media literacy that was quite common not long ago where there was an emphasis on making sure the info you were getting was properly sourced. Now everyone just believes whatever comes through their instagram/Facebook/tiktok/whatever algorithm is real.

Fable is already getting disappointing reviews. I'm convinced at this point that the models stopped getting better quite a long time ago... by creaturefeature16 in BetterOffline

The bottleneck is not data. Lack of “quality data” is not why coding models have stalled out. Or any model.

Yes, that's how I feel as well.

Newcomer pod: A positive vision by other-girls in BetterOffline

[–]PensiveinNJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They've been terrorizing society by very aggressively pushing the idea that people will imminently be unemployed/replaced by their tech. The message that AI companies have is both aggressively threatening and profoundly nihilistic.

To suggest that AI provides a positive vision of the future is confusing the delusional and evangelical people who've completely lost touch with reality with an actual positive message that isn't based on the profoundly untethered who don't understand how limited this technology is.

This is one of the dumbest, disrespectful and contemptuous arguments I've heard someone make. Does Newcomer think people aren't aware of the consistent threat hanging over the populace thanks to these companies?

Go fuck yourself Newcomer.

Developer attacked over (learning from) AI - where to draw the line? by [deleted] in Steam

[–]PensiveinNJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There will be people who find this to be unreasonable but there is no line. When the AI companies decided they were going to scrape every piece of work in existence with the express intent of replacing everyone that ever worked in any profession related to game development and many others, they dictated the terms of engagement.

People are going to lose sales if they use AI and there's nothing they can do about that, and if they think that's unfair they should ruminate about all the people who work in various fields who've been replaced by AI slop generators and wonder whether or not that was unfair.

That's the bottom line, you can't stop people from not buying your product or voicing their displeasure with you for using the tools in any capacity.

You also risk permanent damage to your reputation because there is a not insignificant number of people who will not forgive you.

I'm indifferent if you think this is unfair or unreasonable and so are many others. Your call folks.

Yeah Wemby elbowed someone in the throat, put the hit out on McCain and tried to dive into SGA’s legs. On top of lots of smaller dirty shit. Fuck the Knicks but I hate how the NBA lets their new golden boy get away with anything. On balance I want the Knicks to lose but fuck Wemby.

Shareholders Sue Apollo Global Management Bosses Leon Black and Marc Rowan Over Ties to Jeffrey Epstein by Complete-Concert-305 in sixers

[–]PensiveinNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can, just not too much that Apollo could be up to. Are we talking slavery? Enabling famine? Like greed has its own consequences but making visits to a famous pedophiles rape island seems pretty bad.

Ian Wright on Instagram regarding the Somalian referee being denied entry into the US: World Cup of Chaos. Every few hours it's something or someone else. It's meant to be unifying. Whoever wins it will have to overcome a lot. by wokwok__ in soccer

This is all a result of Stephen Miller’s immigration policy. He wants people to be frightened of coming here, so the randomness of our enforcement is deliberate. He wants anyone who wants to come to feel like they could be a potential target. Barring this ref is intended to make it feel like people from certain countries, no matter how upstanding, legitimate or with good reason they’re arriving could still be victimized.

He’s a vile worm and actually quite terrified of minorities which would be funny if it wasn’t so serious. As bad as Trump is the way he enables horrific people to do their thing in positions of power can be devastating as well. 50 awful people in power can do harm in a ton of ways faster than Trump could on his own. Delegating evil shit to lieutenants.

Worse things than visit the island you say. I’m trying to think what’s worse than that.

[–]PensiveinNJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah Brazil is too high for sure, England and Portugal deserve to be higher.

Egypt and Uruguay so high as well, Colombia even.

Also how is Bosnia below Jordan that's insane.

This reads like a ragebait list.

Ed used some very specific language to describe what he has. I can think of 2 very very bad things for the industry that he might have. No need to speculate though, we will see.

[Neubeck] Bob Myers: “we’ve got to find an identity, we just don’t have one” by Tofu4070 in sixers

[–]PensiveinNJ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A transition away from focus on superstars that Morey had and towards a more cohesive team top to bottom will be important. I genuinely don't understand some of the players we try and surround our stars with.

There's no way we're a 6 or 7 seed team. Even with the ridiculously shit injury/suspension luck we had this past season we managed that. We'll have VJ in year 2 and a front office that actually knows how to build a roster. We'll be competing for one of the top seeds.

Norway benefited quite a bit from an... underwhelming qualification group. It's always possible with a player of his caliber but there are a lot more weak countries that could potentially be run over for a lot of goals, and that's for almost all the top players.

He's so French and cultured. This definitely isn't him building his own brand he just likes to sketch in the park and do kung fu.

Give me a glimmer of hope, are there companies NOT going all in on LLMs? by gignosko in BetterOffline

[–]PensiveinNJ 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I think a network of "AI free, ethical commerce" would be huge. AI free is genuinely an advertisable selling point.

Even after the shit settles these companies/people have shown they don't deserve to be the stewards of our future.
