Right? Did AI make this?

I’ll be honest… advertising is the one industry I wouldn’t be sad to see get completely cannibalized by AI.

What the hell…??

Yeah, Activision was my first thought as well.

Shouldn’t it be trivially easy to demonstrate “prior art” in this case, making the patent invalid? I guess that requires someone to get into a legal battle with Nintendo… but it’s not like this is some niche mechanic. Surely there are other entertainment megacorps who are currently in violation of this “patent” and do have the resources to fight it in court.

Stoat rhymes with oat, I guess? That’s really all I can come up with…

Does he even count as ‘alive’ with that Yeerk piloting his brain?

A couple of things:

To the woman he said, “I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”

This is God’s response to Eve eating the forbidden fruit. Old Testament God is a petty asshole who likes to spank his kids when they misbehave, but this is all about something Eve did, not something that Eve is. Nothing in the Genesis story suggests that women were made a priori to have less dignity or less value than men, and God frequently punishes men in the Old Testament as well.

As for the Timothy stuff, that all comes from Paul the apostle. You didn’t ever find Jesus saying these things about women, it’s just Paul being an incel.

Fun fact: the whole notion of Eve being made from one of Adam’s “ribs” is actually a (probably intentional) mistranslation.

In the original Hebrew, Eve is made from one of Adam’s “tsela”, which is a Hebrew word that means “half”. This same word appears dozens more times throughout the Bible, and nowhere else but this one story in Genesis is it ever translated as “rib”.

And of course, if the original author had meant ‘rib’, they could have just written that, because ancient Hebrew had a word for rib: alah.

But if Eve was really made from “half” of Adam, then that puts man and woman on equal footing, and we definitely can’t have that… so later scribes made sure to translate that feature out of the original story.

The AI is doing the code reviews and writing the unit tests now, too. It’s slop all the way down…

But Microsoft doesn’t really care that much about the Windows side of the business anymore. The real money is in cloud computing now, with Microsoft Azure being responsible for the lion’s share of their revenue. And who’s the biggest customer of Azure? Guess what, it’s the AI slop factories! So writing 30% of their code with AI and letting their OS fall to ruin as a result doesn’t really matter to their bottom line, so long as companies like OpenAI continue to pay them dump trucks full of money for their computing services. The more MS uses AI, the more hype AI generates, and the whole Ponzi scheme gets to keep on going.

I don’t know man… the “intelligence” that silicon valley has been pushing on us these last few years feels very artificial to me

Fuck… I was paraphrasing and autocorrecting!

There’s a great line in Disco Elysium that describes this phenomenon. I’m paraphrasing here, but the gist of it is something like this:

The great and terrible genius of capitalism is its ability to commodify evening, including criticism of itself.

It’s never lupus

She probably just thinks it’s weird.

I’ve worked office jobs for two decades, and the only time I’ve ever initiated a handshake with someone is on the first time meeting them. Likewise, the only time anyone ever initiates a handshake with me is the first time meeting me… Anything more than that is extremely unusual in my experience.

Do other people try to shake your hand at the end of every interaction, or are you always the one who initiates? If it’s the latter, then people probably just find it odd that you’re handing out (sorry) so many hand shakes.

AI marketing is total BS, but it doesn’t mean AI is not useful in it’s current state.

But the AI only exists because of the marketing BS! The fact that AI is useful to qualified people in specialized fields doesn’t matter when the technology is being mass marketed to a completely different group of people for completely different use cases.

LLMs are called “large” for a reason — their existence demands large datasets, large data centers, large resource consumption, and large capital expenditure to secure all of those things. The only entries with the resources to make that happen are large corporations (and rich nation-states, but they seem to be content to keep any of their own LLM efforts under wraps for now). You can only say “don’t blame the technology, blame the technologist” when it’s possible to separate the two, but in this case it’s not. LLMs don’t exist without the corpos, and the corpos are determined to push LLMs into places and use cases where they have no business being.
