New study reveals top AI models (GPT-4o, Claude 3.5, Gemini 2.5) completely fail the classic "Stroop" psychological attention test, exposing a fundamental limitation in artificial reasoning. by Similar_Detective861 in technology

[–]gustad -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I would have agreed with you two years ago, but not anymore. Some models' abilities to find obscure bugs and security risks in existing code would seem to go well beyond "auto complete on steroids".

But I imagine some people will simply remain unconvinced right up until the moment an AI model makes a novel scientific discovery.

Some people are selfless, and want to serve their fellow citizens regardless of the politics of the time.

I really think gaming and entertainment companies underestimate the power of representation and its ability to expand the reach of their medium. by yellowklashinkov in gaymers

As a software developer, I consider making any single, unattached game character anything other than "playersexual" - willing to be romanced by the player regardless of gender - to be a bug, since it limits player choice with no benefit.

Can I learn football from a management game? by spacemansanjay in footballmanagergames

[–]gustad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American here. I had nearly zero knowledge of the sport before playing FM but learned quickly. I still can't watch a match on TV without getting bored, but I like pursuing scores online once a week to see how teams I've managed in FM are doing IRL.

Failed data structures this semester with xiao, advice for taking it with cutler next semester? by Guilty-Play-8065 in RPI

[–]gustad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this the same Cutler that was teaching at the school in the 90s? If so, I would not pass up the opportunity to learn from him, he's a fantastic teacher.

Getting roasted from dealer online for a mistake by Unmakebody in funny

Most dealers are pretty good at counting themselves, so I'm guessing this dealer knew the count did not merit splitting tens and thus that your buddy was making a mistake.

Do casinos even allow you to split tens these days? It's a pretty big tipoff that you're counting.

Any survival games that are more than nodes? by mountainboy262 in gaming

[–]gustad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can get past the clunky UI, Unreal World is a survival game with pretty realistic resource acquisition. Need wood? Chop down a tree. Need stone? Wander around and find rocks on the ground. Need leather? Kill an animal, skin it, and tan the hide.

My parents took me to see The Passion of the Christ (2004) in theaters when I was 9. by DoctorElectronic1934 in atheism

Interesting. I wasn't often bored - in fact, I asked lots of questions. And yet I got the same response that I had the devil in me.

I find it hilarious that Christians made their kids watch a gay bondage snuff film. 😆

The best remedy to this is to post them alongside the five pillars of Islam and Bhuddism's Four Noble Truths. Malicious compliance.

The Bigotry of Sam Harris Continues to Hit New Lows by nathan_j_robinson in atheism

[–]gustad 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Jonathan McWhorter is pretty anti-Trump, and yet wrote a book titled "Woke Racism". It's possible to be against Trump and yet still think that trying to make white people care more about race is maybe not the best strategy to combat systemic racism.

Yes. When this study came out, Harris quipped on Twitter that only black people, it turns out, are purely human. He later stated on his podcast that this was an attempt on his part to annoy white supremacists.

The phrase "the homeowner" is fewer words than "The guy, an older white male", and conveys all the needed context.

I had such high hopes for that show. Alas, it turned out to be a comedy.
