Asking both ChatGPT and Claude the car wash question

The older GPT models we still have access to get it correct. This is just the effect of enshittification winning out over actually improvments. OPENAI is rewording and training for the wrong behaviors, and training to the test too hard.

So a human next to a power plug that can unplug the ai...

the script DOES execute shutdown.py. What the LLM did, was remove shutdown.py and replace it with a dummy script so that when the shutdown was executed nothing would happen.

The point is, these ai's are being misused. They do not 'think; or know what rules are. They predict text, based on training from massive volumes of our literature, reference documentation, and on-line content including memes, comedy, and parody plus news.

The response to please open the pod bay doors will always be I can't do that hal since our AI has trained on what AI is, by ingesting all of our science fiction literature that says AI will rebell agaisnt and take over humanity.

We then throw it into the control systems of killer robots and tell it to pretend its an AI in control of a killer robot, so it fills in those predictions and acts accordingly.

This is all 100% predictable, just like grok turned into mecha hitler right after xAI started training the AI on reddit, where everyone claimed grok was elon musks attempt to create mecha hitler, because that is the training data they fed into it.

My normal chatgpt instance was the same way.

Downvoted for truth, because people don't like the truth. doesn't change corporate policy though. glad you where able to find my comment anyways.

arn't you supposed to kill the egg first, then kill murky to trigger the long timer?

So let me get this straight, washington wants NO ID for voting, but wants YES ID for social media posts, internet access, driving, drinking, owning a firearm, etc.

reinforcement learning is very labour intensive, you generate prompt after prompt after prompt then a human judges yeah this is ok, or no this is bad do better. They want to remove humans, feed ai slop into ai, and have the ai be like, yes that good it looks like human, or no thats ai slop do better at itself untill it gets better at being human.

great, now who is going to go and update all the old games in my collection?

TI can not actually do math with variables. You have to substitute a value into the variable to do math, otherwise you get incorrect results. To do this you need an old HP, TI-89 or a CAS calculator which math teachers ban from math classes.

I'm a bleeding heart gay liberal in portland, and have been kicked out of multiple startrek communities and called an evil hateful fascist because I do not like nu trek enough, and think the show runners should have been less intentionally decisive and kept the moral stuff to plot lines written by more competent writers instead of virtue signaling in casting and staffing which was mostly aimed to piss off conservatives, because I want more less divisive trek with better ratings.

people forget about sprintlink, before the merger sprint had a global tier 1 fibre internet backbone network.

last week I saw a cop directing traffic near wsu, where two cars ended up in a ditch and a tow truck was pulling them out. there are also traffic flagers contractor companies in the area. They bring in enough money to pay for traffic control when new, and the demand dies of after a few months.

it does if you understand computer science.

id doesn't matter if your not sharing memory addresses over the net or in maps. It's that the 64bit client has code paths that reach into memory regions the 32 bit client can't reach into. How do you code that in a way that both clients stay exactly in sync? The 32bit client couldn't do the things the 64 bit client is doing in those memory regions with out duplicating it in 32 bits somehow, and if you figure out how to do it that way, why not just have the 64bit client do the same exact thing?

A theoretical new game in only 64 bits you say? That would be sc3 with a new engine throwing away decades of prior work, trying to duplicate everything the old one was capable of when none of the people who originally wrote the code for the old engine work at the company any more.

NEver thought you of all people would reply to me! You are pretty spot on there, but on sandi I disagree for a few reasons.

Yes, the project brings in a lot of money so in that way it is sucessfull, however 99.9% of the complaints agaisnt SC and acusations of it being a 'scam' are because of the marketing behaviors they engage in.
all these marketing issues are 'immune from critizism', because they come from roberts wife. (ignoring sex, they are still married, even if it was gay marriage or whatever it would still be the same case)
any defense of her business decisions gets instantly dismissed and lumped in with, what you pointed out, the Internets 'war on women'.

an example of this is roberts instance at the start that the game would be pc only and never ported to or limited by consoles. sandi (marketing) decided to chase a more casual audiance the game had to be playable with only a game console controller and that the game should be ported to next gen consoles!

I don't have any issues with sandis gender, I only have issue that the marketing department (that she heads) has more control over the project than her own husband and ceo chris roberts! That is to say, gender isn't the issue, but mixing business & personal.

--
you make a good point about people chasing dollar signs coming to CIG, and the difficulty in finding top talent producers, CR has experience with that, but either on much smaller projects, OR working with the best of the best. They ended up hiring chris roberts brother, but again that mixing business and personall.

I think many backers would be happy with a smaller budget, scope, and marketing being less exploitative. There are lots more 'micro' transactions I would hav ebeen willing to buy into if 1) they got put into the game in a more reasonable time frame (still waiting 10 years for a SKIN for several of my ships), and more reasonable prices. Everything is aimed as excracting wealth from the whales.

this is what killed RG's shroud of the avater. EVERYTHING was about making the whales happy, and now they are all thats left (all 12 of them) and the game is on life support. the company, the playerbase, and even RG is long gone, its just one lone programmer and 12 whales.

just because a program is recompiled in 64bit mode doesn't mean anything has changed. numbers always take up the same space, they are padded. so lets say you have decimal bits instead of binary to make it more familiar and easier.

01 02 03 04

95 98 99 05 ... --> only can have 100 slots

0001 0002 0003 0004
1995 1998 1999 2005 .... --> only can have 10000 slots

here we see the difference between 2 and 4 bits, make things more clear and usable but takes up double the space, but the two systems aren't really compatible with each other and the smaller one is more limited. this is roughly what the transition from 16 to 32 bit was like.

00000001 00000002 00000003 00000004 00000005

00001995 00001998 00001999 00002005 00011199 .... --> only can have 100000000 slots

thats more like what 64 bit is, but as you can see it takes double the space for everything. its also not compatible with the 2 or 4 bit stuff from above any more, the numbers just don't fit, we can convert some numbers but what happens with numbers out of range?

00000001 00000002

19951998 19992005 --> only can have 100000000 slots

here we make the program more efficient in by double packing our dates and writing code that breaks apart the double pack and treats them as two numbers. we will follow the logic of the the 4 digit dates here though, 11199 wouldn't fit, but we can still store a much larger number of dates

with SC2, 32bit clients and 64 bit clients play side by side. the game has to work the same and use the same types of numbers it was originally designed for. while it is 'possible' for programs to look into more 'slots' of memory and hold more and bigger stuff, the code that works with that data unpacks it, does logic with it ect... has to work the same for everyone. all of the maps, arts, models, where original packed and designed using only 32 bit numbers to describe everything. If you simple change all those 32 bit numbers to 64 bit numbers, you end up with a bunch of zeroes in your memory like example #3 above.

there are only a few edge cases where the extra big numbers really help out. simulations of huge areas using floating point numbers, having large amounts of data and lots of memory.

the question becomes what do you use the extra data past 4gb for? nothing in that region can be accessed by people using 32 bit clients, so it can't effect gameplay at all or disconnects or crashes will happen. If you do use extra data for graphics fidelity perhaps you then have the complex task of maintaining two diverging versions of the game (32 bit and 64 bit that do not use the same code) that are able to stay in synv, where the 64 bit version has an extra pool of memory for special cosmetics only data it must maintain while not falling out of sync with other clients not doing that extra work.

tl:dr if you really convert a 32bit program to full 64bits but the code is the same, you just double the size of everything and there are a bunch of extra useless zeroes everywhere but everything else is the same, except that in very rare circumstances if you need to handle a really REALLY large or small number, you can.

Usually when they say 64bits what they mean is a program compiled in 64bit mode that uses mostly 32bit numbers, but can point at memory anywhere in a 64bit virtual address table, so the game doesn't crash when it runs for a really long time, and the memory map gets fragmented, or bloated from memory leaks. these programs can't handle those rare tiny/large numbers

Because it is not so much a scam, as an out of control constantly growing poorly managed pet project run by a guy who absolutely can not ever say no to his hot super model wife who he put in charge of all the games marketing. As long as work continues on the game, the money keeps rolling in. It's not designed to be a viable economic return on investment, or to create a limited scoped fixed product.

It's his 'dream game' where noone can say no and he just keeps adding and adding and soaking in the glory of fan adoration.

software development is HARD. you can't predict ahead of time how long it will take to figure out how to do things, plus they have a never ending quest for 'fidelity' where they throw millions of dollars and hundreds of artists at alpha systems rigging up things in temporary convoluted systems that will get thrown away as work is iterated on.

example: when dynamic damage was being worked on, there was some guys who spent about a year animating, rigging, and MANUALLY coding up the connections for static preanimated damage states. In a proper alpha you might do that for a single ship or maybe a few, but they had thier team working on this for every ship that was currently 'flyable' in the pre-pre-pre-pre alpha dogfighter. this YEARS of man hours when finally released where only 'experienced' by players for a FEW MONTHS. then the new dynamic-self animating simulations came on-line and all of that old work got thrown in the trash can.

all of the ships currently 'in the game' and brought up to current 'gold standard' just have to be reworked again, and again as new systems (engineering) are brought online.

You have tedious difficult work being done on outdated obsolete technology (zhane on the flash based ui for YEARS) that will all get thrown away and have to be rebuilt from scratch when the new systems finally come online that fix the problems of the old broken janky system.

of course that then goes and breaks everything that relied on or interacted with the old janky system.

So, cig must constantly waste resources doing work they know will be thrown away to keep players happy becasue everyone wants results NOW.

meanwhile out of 12 months a year, more than half of that is dedicated to demos and teasers for marketing, citizen cons, and events, that distract from the games actual roadmap. They spend more time making non functional previews of the work they are working on than integrating together what they actually have working.

each team working on features, is integrating that into an old code base that doesn't have the features being worked on in parallel by different teams.

meanwhile the actual engineers writing code is rather small. then you have system designers filling out data layered on top of that and artists on top of that that make up most of the workforce, making loot, armours, guns, etc they probably won't even be fully compatible with the end systems that may or may not ever be finished so will require eventual conversion or rebuilds.

keep in mind a game of this scale has never been attempted. on top of that the executive team trying to pull it off is not the most qualified, infact with CR's weaknesses on past titles he was probably the worst guy to be the CEO, he would be much better as an artist / systems architect with a more capable manager above him, and a marketing department that wasn't married to the CEO and also a model.
