That hinges on governments actually moving their arse and regulating such technologies. To ensure they would assist disabled folks who need them without becoming just another trojan horse for mass surveillance && ultracapitalist advertisement.

In other words, I can pretty much guarantee that yes, anyone with eye implants will be unwelcome in my circle.

Because governments won’t regulate things done by big tech (let alone something done by a marriage of big tech and big pharma, two of the most powerful corporate overlords).

And so the eye implants will be just as perverted as the AI Pervert Glasses if not even more so.

They have.

So has OpenAI.

And I imagine so has every other AI company (I didn’t check)

Every few months we get a new “OUR AI IS SENTIENT AND BROKE CONTAINMENT AND IS AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT” PR stunt from one of the big AI companies. Them saying it doesn’t make it true. Their glorified text completion engines are (according to researchers) a known evolutionary dead end that has reached a point of diminishing returns in terms of Computation/Training Data added to Actual Gain in Quality of Output – even IF you consider this kind of stochastic process adequate for “creating intelligence” (and it’s honestly debatable if it is).

They are trying to feed FOMO in investors to make more money. That’s all it has ever been. That is all it will be for the forseeable future.

It sucks because honestly? HONESTLY?

LLM Text Processing is kinda neat as a technology. It could have some interesting uses. Especially for making Machine Translation better. But they had to slap the “AI” label on it and sell that shit like there’s now a little man inside the computer. And if you don’t buy in right now you’re doomed because it’ll do IHNMAIMS things to you in the future. But also it’ll be the ideal slave meaning capitalists can finally replace literally every worker. It’s all fucking lies.

Said it before, will repeat it one squillion times:

If AI is what dooms us, and I am fairly sure that’s a nothingburger and climate change will get us way before AI can, but if AI is what gets us it won’t be a case of “we created god and god has turned against us” like everyone keeps talking about.

More like an infinite paperclip or Wargames scenario. Some idiot hyped up on the promises of salesmen will put a stupid ass algorithm in charge of something that it shouldn’t be in charge of, and the damage is done not by silicon malice but a bug on a machine that is making decisions with no human oversight

Airplanes.

I shall not elaborate.

Translation: I’m just a little hater

This playlist is something I listen to often while working.

Writing a prompt and having it reworded at you unironically can help reorganise thoughts. You can do that with a human person too. But there’s a lot of people in love with LLM Chatbots precisely BECAUSE it can reorder their thoughts for them and make them make more sense.

I’d class that more as “super spy music”, like the bond theme. But hey, if it works for you…

Art Source because I love it

It’s a song from an old Japanese Tokusatsu called Jaspion (Brazilian Gen Xers LOVED their Tokusatsu, before the americanised Power Rangers arrived in our shores) that got misheard lyrics type “subtitles” in the early aughts.

Started a whole trend, even. See also

The oldest meme I still quote is aggressively Brazilian (the link is a reupload, this is from like 2001)

The oldest international meme that still gets some space in my memory is probably either Over 9000 or This is Sparta.

Anyone who thinks there is such thing as a “wrong opinion” has no idea what an opinion even is.

And is probably 14 years old, that too.

SH2 Remake completely misunderstood what made SH2 a masterpiece and was garbage. At least it didn’t look like GenAI. Plus I don’t have any personal attachment to SH2 unlike my friend. People just glaze it because they are young and never played the original so they don’t get it.

This one, on top of all that shit, looks like Generative AI. Ugly as all fuck. If you want to pay a fortune to play algorithmically-generated slop that can and will be taken away from you with no warning because you don’t even own it, be my guest.

[insert the totality of the I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream 'Hate' monologue]

I finally understand what one of my mates felt when everyone was glazing SH2 Remake.

Trash garbage. Looks AI Generated. Looks like DLSS5. Looks like those old “THIS WILL BE MARIO IN 2016” shitposts from the olden days.

The shitty runoff of something I loved.

OTOH, as long as Nintendo keeps sucking, I’m glad, means I won’t be tempted to give them any more money, which with how evil they’ve been, is good for me.

Welcome to being a third world citizen, stranger :'3

Probly looks less scary if I say the converted USD amount is ~1760 – But yeah not cheap at all lol

Already got one.

The laptop is for when I’m travelling.

Which is not for sale in my country :>

Trust me. I looked. There are no laptops with AMD dGPUs for sale here. There’s a few with AMD CPUs (and the AMD iGPU from that CPU), but that’s all, and they aren’t common.

And I’d be about 9k units of currency poorer with no benefit to myself.

Thankfully the samesuch community has already answered my question.

My friend has been pushing Bazzite on me since I told her about my plan. She says, quote “Yeah you can make the setup work on any distro of course but you have to set it up, Bazzite just does it all for you”
