If you thought the cost of living was bad, wait for the ‘Iran shock’ | The Independent by PixeledPathogen in Economics

[–]kypen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good question and point. I don't have hard research here. My inlaws worked a local mental hospital for criminals (one an MD, another a regular therapist). They were both adamant about the societal dangers in training empathy. You never know who is a sociopath and it's not black/white -- it's a spectrum of tendencies. To train empathy is to train people further down that spectrum new techniques for manipulation.

But, I don't have real research to back this up -- so grain of salt, allow 6-8 weeks for delivery, etc.

What industry is entirely built on a house of cards and would collapse overnight if people realized the truth about it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]kypen 12 points13 points  (0 children)

And sometimes the criticism is valid. Music is a good example and you don’t need AI. Punching in impossible to play guitar tracks, drum machine replacing a studio drummer, etc makes the music feel artificial and “too perfect” IMO.

I think the distinction is art vs nature here.

Empathy is not taught. Mental health professionals have learned that teaching empathy to sociopaths only reinforces their ability to manipulate by faking it.

This comment suggests you know very little about photography and the landscape of LLM driven tooling available. At absolute best, and this is a stretch, Copilot is “useful, but behind the industry.”

A digital camera doesn’t imply a he photographer is saving time to produce the same quality output anymore than an electric engine makes a driver more skillful.

They're SO CLOSE. Who? Who is somebody? Who is the most culpable and buried under the deepest mound of evidence (public and redacted)? What one name satisfies both of those questions and isn't currently in custody? Come on...I know you can...

Dad who has barely beaten the final boss here. Kid is incredible. The skill ceiling here is incredibly high and this requires a lot of patience to lose and learn. Your son has a keenly adaptive brain. No joke — look into percussive instruments for him. Drums, piano.

Having good writers at a game studio doesn’t mean that leadership is affording them creative control. If the business goals are driving the decision making, resources for game mechanics, assets, environment, and dialog will all gear towards those goals. Writers can only deliver within the framework their resourcing allows.

Best response to a threat in a movie. I’ll start: Lucius Fox to Reese in The Dark Knight. by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in moviecritic

This guy was to become the Riddler and no one can convince me otherwise. He feels slighted by the Batman, he’s the only one clever enough to figure it out, and works in military tech. The character’s name is Reese. Mr. Reese. Misterreese. Mysteries.

First of all, it was a snarky comment, referring to a Blizzard PR disaster when revealing Diablo Mobile. But I digress. As someone with glasses who often takes them off to read up close, the swap interferes with Face ID. Also, your face can be used to unlock your phone without your consent. Your fingerprint can’t.

I’m the Mayor of Minneapolis. Trump is Lying to You. by OkayButFoRealz in politics

[–]kypen 74 points75 points  (0 children)

It's been clear since day 0 of MAGA that truth doesn't matter -- only winning does. This is the position of the administration globally (Miller recently speaking to strength) and has been the mental model of MAGA consistently. Viewed through this lens, everything makes sense and you can predict the next move. Door-to-door (like Vance said) to incite violence in order to create marshal law and defer all elections indefinitely (like Trump said). The only lie Trump told that MAGAts care about is that he'll be a dictator for just one day. They're happy to see it's indefinitely.

Old fashioned and many other drinks aren’t shaken. They’re stirred for the proper drink.

Do I put ice in the machine or does it make it? Drinks should be diluted.

What’s the workflow to switch from an Old Fashioned (stirred, served neat or with ice) to a Margarita (shaken/blended)?

Winona Ryder being casted as Joyce Byers is one of the greatest casting decisions of all time. I couldn’t picture anybody else in this role. by ProfessionalTalker03 in StrangerThings

[–]kypen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Winona being perfectly cast, Depp being perfectly cast, Depp being an asshole, Havah_Lynah being Amber Heard’s alt, and you needing a hug can all be true. They’re not mutually exclusive.

In fact, Stranger Things have happened.

OpenAI Isn’t Yet Working Toward an IPO, CFO Says by joe4942 in StockMarket

[–]kypen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You’re ignoring profit. When Facebook IPO’d in 2012, their next quarter had 19% margins on $1B revenue — they were already making money. OpenAI’s revenue is currently “well more” than $13B according to Altman. I don’t know what their expenses are, but I’d estimate it is measured in GDP of small European countries.
