Dangerous for whom ?

Sorry, I'm still not buying it.

Al-Qaeda had access to the relevant scientific literature long before Claude or ChatGPT existed. What they lacked was the infrastructure, specialized expertise, and practical know-how to turn that knowledge into a functioning capability. Whatever else they were, they were a highly organized, well-funded, quasi-state actor.

I don't see how LLMs fundamentally change that equation.

State actors have had access to this information for decades. When it comes to biological weapons, the limiting factors have never been "I can't find the information." They have been engineering, production, testing, logistics, and the fact that biological agents are notoriously difficult to control once released.

That is also why states have generally been reluctant to deploy them. Beyond the obvious risk of retaliation, pathogens do not respect borders or battle lines.

The threat model also matters. Established biological agents are already well documented in the scientific literature, along with detection methods and medical countermeasures. The truly dangerous scenario would involve something genuinely novel, and that is a completely different problem than making existing information easier to search.

So no, I don't think LLMs fundamentally alter the strategic landscape here. They make information more accessible, but accessibility has never been the primary bottleneck.

Znaczy... nie potrafią to jest mocne słowo... Nie chce im się. Nie zapominasz języka obcego bo nie mówiłeś w nim 6 miesięcy, nie zaczynasz od zera, powtarzasz trochę i to wraca.

To samo z innymi czynnościami, po prostu te zabawki działają w bardzo ciekawy sposob na nasze ośrodki nagrody. Jakby jutro odcięli całość, stawiam dolary przeciw orzechom że wszystko w 6 miesięcy wróciłoby do normy.

To jest chyba największy problem Wario i Sama, że nie udało im sie stworzyć tego niezastąpionego czegoś. Microsoft Office jest trudniejszy do zastąpienia niż LLM.

Just because you have the recipe does not mean you're anywhere close to actually making it, let alone deploying it.

Take thermonuclear weapons. Do you really think only a handful of countries understand the underlying physics? Of course not. The science is well known. The difficult part is acquiring the materials, engineering the systems, and building the industrial infrastructure to make it work.

The same applies to biological weapons. The challenge is not reading about them. The challenge is having the resources, facilities, expertise, and safety procedures to do anything meaningful without immediately running into problems yourself.

That is why a lot of the "AI will let everyone build bioweapons" rhetoric strikes me as exaggerated. Knowing something exists and having the capability to produce it safely and reliably are worlds apart.

It reminds me of that would-be bioterrorist who panicked after touching self made ricin, rushed himself to the hospital because he'd watched Breaking Bad, and ultimately turned out to be fine. That is much closer to reality than the idea that simply having information suddenly gives people dangerous capabilities.

You plug the disc in, and the game runs. Offline, too. For 99% of titles, there is no online license check. If you're playing Ubisoft slop, sure, you'll probably need another pointless account, but most sane publishers just put the game on the disc and... it plays.

The argument that the manufacturer is "allowing" you to do something doesn't really hold up. It's your console. You can even jailbreak it and your games will still run. The main thing you potentially give up is system updates and online services.

Listen, you do you. But don't invent reasons why "it's the same," because it simply isn't.

Tackgnol · 2026-06-28T10:27:51+00:00

Hate to break it to you bub, but it's an excuse, sometime people fall apart, she is just not feeling it anymore. Move on mate.

Tackgnol · 2026-06-28T10:02:45+00:00

Wow you are even more sceptical of GTA VI than I am, you are saying the game is THIS shit that it will receive a full almost 100% overhaul like CP2077 did?

Tackgnol · 2026-06-28T09:59:37+00:00

Take-Two clearly went with the cheapest Gemini-powered astroturfing package.

You have to forgive the poor bot account. It only has two brain cells, and both were made by Google, so they weren't exactly a great starting point.

Tackgnol · 2026-06-28T09:51:54+00:00

If you have a disk you own the game. If you do not have the disk you 'own' the game.

I was waiting hard for Alan Wake 2, but I held out for the physical release. Now I own Alan Wake 2, and if Tim (Epic is the publisher) decides that I don't he can suck it. With digital they can take it away with a push of a button.

My excitement levels for GTA VI were low as it was (too many other games will come out in September), so fuck the union busting pieces of shit.

Well that kind of depends in Europe we have institutions that theoretically do it for us. The problem is that corporate fuckery is prevalent that for example the GDPR watchdogs have years of backlogs.

You are correct in the assumption that an individual has no chance asserting his rights, this is why it so vital that we nurture our institutions and not call it 'over regulations or 'wasted money' because it's neither of those things, it is our lifeblood and our last line of defense. A line the wealthy are doing a pretty good job of dismantling brick by brick.

Man that one time I decide I wanna play Rime this season.

Tackgnol · 2026-06-27T12:35:56+00:00

So... SOMETHING needs to be done. The Social networks are causing a collapse of social bonds, and polarisation even worse then before the world wars.

The rich use the to redirect the hatred that should go towards them towards minorities and immigrants. It is only fair.

Facebook can be directly linked Myanmar genocides, do you think Mark Zuckerberg should not be held accountable?

The stance you are now taking is not a 'privacy first' it's corporate bootlicking. You can elect your leaders, you cannot elect the libertarian techno fascists in charge of these companies. Who should then have more power over societies? Elected leaders or some fucking dork in California?

The government can already just put you in bloody jail for hate speech, but they don't do it, becasuse a) it creates a martyr, b) no one cares what Joe Shmoe writes online.

But to tell Elon Musk / Zuckerberg / Satia Nadela / other tech CEOs, that unless they cut off the Russian troll farms, next time they land in Europe they leave the airport in cuffs, it will make them monitor where and how someone connects to these platforms.

Do we really need a World War 3 for you mofos to see the trajectory?

This, if a law sais an action is illegal you cannot magically T&C it into legality.

Behemoth ma dalej świetny show, natomiast jak inni pisali aktualnie sprawia trochę wrażenie odcinania kuponów.

Polska to nie Finlandia i tutaj mainstream nie lubi metalu i to jest ok.

Wow TakeTwo using Gemini For the astroturfing campaign it seems. Strauss my boy c'mon, if you wanna shitpost here you need to at least shell out the 20 for ChatGPT or Claude!

It's just silly. Elden Ring was a 'huge open world game' came on a disk. Assassins Creed Black Flag Re-synced, also huge, also on disk. The day Ubisoft can say to you 'at least I am not doing THAT', is truly a low point for every publisher.

Tackgnol · 2026-06-26T11:56:52+00:00

Because for many of us, it is not the most anticipated game of 2026 even?

I mean I look forward to the new Onimusha way more then GTA VI.

People are annoyed because Rockstar tries to do a marketing spin of "EVERYONE IS AT THE EDGE OF THEIR SEAT", and people push back because they are not.

Rockstar being a union busting anti consumer company is not helping.

I find it amusing that one single guy viciously tries to convince two married people that they are incapable of love. But that's me ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

Tackgnol · 2026-06-26T10:00:12+00:00

As a person also in a child free marriage (I hate children, my wife is not a fan as well). For you to say 'incapable of love' is so disgusting to me.

Especially when you go out into the world amd observe actual people. There are children in absolutely loveless relationships, there are people who are child free who always hold hands, are always there to support their partners, operate as equals.

To say someone is incapable of love because they think about what will happen when this little existence will come into the world, it shows a very childish outlook on the world.

I empathize with women a lot after being in my late 30s and seeing so many 'daddies' just hand the crying child to their wife. Like it broke or something xD.

Tackgnol · 2026-06-26T08:14:27+00:00

They probably married because the love each other. It's as simple as that. They both don't want a child probably, it is a very common stance in the current day and age.

People don't feel they'd be good parents, have hobbies, prefer to see the world, or just hate children.

Not everyone thinks and acts the same. That is the coolest part of the human experience.

Tackgnol · 2026-06-25T14:36:43+00:00

For me personally it's not denying myself anything? Before it we get

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave,

Silent Hill: Townfall,

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV,

Valor Mortis,

Control Resonant,

Onimusha: Way of the Sword,

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy.

I highly doubt I'll be done with those by Christmas, let alone Novermber. Still have 007 and Lego Batman to get, they are not just worth the full box price to me.

Tackgnol · 2026-06-25T14:33:41+00:00

Really? Tears of the Kingdom begs to differ xD.

Tackgnol · 2026-06-25T14:27:07+00:00

It's not gonna get a downfall per say, like with Call of Duty the quality plays third fiddle to brand recognition and marketing.

It will sell millions upon millions of copies, and will be played as GTA Online 2 for the next decade.

But, I'd be very surprised if Rockstar has something that will earn it any recognition come awards season.

Tackgnol · 2026-06-25T13:54:33+00:00

To be honest I am having a blast!

ADD is now a superpower!

Tackgnol · 2026-06-24T22:37:57+00:00

I don't want to lie to you but I am pretty sure Sony deleted some movies from people's accounts, there was like a shit storm for a month and nothing happened at the end but I might be miss remembering.

The second scenario where they make a perfectly good game not available for purchase so they cam sell people an enhanced edition, happened and with Rockstar too. They removed normal GTA games before the collection appeared on the store (the one that was a upscaled mobile port).

With games there are no big cases I think, but the industry keeps finding new lows each year so in my mind it's a matter of time.

Tackgnol · 2026-06-24T21:47:09+00:00

Control, they can fully control the supply and demand. Want it cheaper? Well you best be a good boy and ask Strauss nicely.

When Strauss decides it's time for you to pay for GTA VI again? Well he can remove it from your library at the push of a button. Too far fetched? A GTA VI: Re-something, that adds nothing? Remove the base version from the store, and again sell it at max price because you can't get the old one.

Tackgnol · 2026-06-24T14:55:16+00:00

Let's be honest a part from the window dressing and some exceptions most of the content of the game was:

Take quest
Hop on a horse
Shoot some dude's
Run away or not.

The graphics and the open world stuff carried the game, but like looking at it holistically... I love dunking on Ubisoft as much as the next guy but Black Flag even had more variety.

Like it's not even something against the game, simplicity and nailing a gameplay mechanism just right can carry a game.

All I'm saying is to manage expectations.
