@n_dimension @AAKL @mttaggart Typical moral panic then.I was just recently at a classic arcade games convention. A lot of the games had license stickers on them, from various cities and counties back in the 1980s.Seriously, arcade games caused a moral panic. Kids were going to skip school and spend their lunch money on games or whatever.Everything new seems to have that effect.

They uh, did. Kids skipped school and spent their lunch money on games. Many people spent large portions of their childhood playing arcade games. Video arcades were huge back then.CC: @n_dimension@infosec.exchange @AAKL@infosec.exchange @mttaggart@infosec.exchange

LLMs should be considered addictive substances.Once you start using generative models to do the work, your brain immediately connects that pathway to instant, easy reward. You'll want to use it for more and more tasks, with each use increasing the risk that something goes horribly wrong. What's more, your own mental muscles atrophy along the way. Then one day, you realize all you know how to do anymore is enter prompts.And "You have to check the models' work" is weak tea. Almost nobody does, and in most cases the use of the model was a shortcut to avoid the learning necessary to catch the mistakes in the first place.

@cy @n_dimension @AAKL @mttaggart Gen X here, I remember, and wish they still were huge. Fortunately there are some classic arcades springing up. We need to learn to make vector displays again though.Of course those kids learned early personal computing and grew up to be successful techies. Will the generation that learned on an iPad develop similar skills?

@mike805 @cy @n_dimension @mttaggart Trace back the connected generation of 18-22-year-old who have crossed to the dark side. That would put you back in the early 2000s.A lot of important tech milestones happened then: https://www.zdnet.com/article/technology-that-changed-us-the-2000s/

In 2005, it was difficult and expensive to distribute video.No it wasn't.CC: @mike805@noc.social @n_dimension@infosec.exchange @mttaggart@infosec.exchange

@cy @mike805 @n_dimension @mttaggart I'm guessing that suggests it was expensive for businesses - at a large scale.

@cy @mike805 @n_dimension @mttaggart It does. It's probably a different price quote for businesses as well.
