The internet is still alive

In the 1980s and earlier people thought that in 2000 computers would have the kind of AI we finally got in 2025 heh

In 1999 they even made a famous documentary about people in trench coats fighting AI

You could literally count the number of extra colors you would get onscreen with each new computer!

In a way it's like the 1980s again, when there were new computers and consoles coming out every week, or the 2000s with all the 3D cards :)

Let a person protest jeez.

If a shitty murderous tyrant builds some roads the citizens can still use those roads while protesting against the tyrant

Grok probably hurt itself by building a reputation as the "meme AI", making it hard for some people to take it seriously

In programming I mostly use AI for Godot/GDScript code reviews, plus suggestions, and Astra is so much better than everything

That's also a kink

That could have been said just as perfectly well from a main account my guy/guyette

I want my sexbot to have a personality

The final release of 27 still has so many bugs.

It's depressing to see certain bugs persist in each new beta. You know they'll be in release.

I gave up reporting anything years ago.

I gotta have some of what you had :)

You're missing out; give the Remastered/Extended/whatever edition a try

Same, it's one of those things that stays with you for life.

For similar feels, check out Disco Elysium

Planescape Torment

and almost anything by Amanita Design

Talking generally

It's high time civilization lets people slow the fuck down

Especially with the Age of AI upon us

By then we will have quaternary quantum computers and FTL circuits where the information appears request it before you

Better to just give people more free time: Reduce workweeks to 4 days.

Make working from home/anywhere the norm instead of the exception.

Build more third places: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_place

Give people more safety nets including UBI so they don't feel like they constantly need to be "earning" the right to live in basic comfort.

Wow, dammit! That syndrome of "something you always wondered or thought only you thought already having a name" strikes again!

My intuition for all sentience between "fragments" of a single consciousness from outside the universe was that, if Free Will™ is real, then true randomness can only come from outside a system..

And that's why it's my favorite letter :)

Does blocking `bzr.openai.com` on the DNS server prevent this? (without breaking ChatGPT)

So begins the Merovingian and the Exiles..

Oh let's talk about sins of Microsoft since the 1980s, shall we?

People like you will always happen.

Have you seen the night sky, outside a city?

The first good news in 100 years

Most AI-generated art is "good enough" for most one-shot designs by now (though still not [always] as good as a good meat-based artist of course)

The problems right now are:

- Maintaining a consistent and coherent style/aesthetic when you have to generate lots of assets for something. For example sprites in a video game.

- Iterating over a design for more than a few passes. For some reason most models keep degrading the entire image if you keep asking for edits to a specific part of the image. Or, some problems are or become impossible for them to fix no matter how you prompt them.

Well then you have time to invent some new difficult shit.

> Now it just means nothing

Now it means we can move on to other difficult shit.

Real Time History was one, and I think it's good. Includes the USSR's blunders as well e.g in Afghanistan etc. not just "anti US"

Did you not watch the Matrix documentary?
