And this is to say nothing of people who are handing over large portions of their everyday life thinking, not just their workload, onto LLMs. The kind of person who treats a language model as an infallible oracle is not a kind of person I want anywhere near sharp tools or hazardous chemicals.

@NanoRaptor Everything is AI now. I’m AI. You’re AI. My last bowel movement was AI.

@NanoRaptor I’m not sure who’s more irritating: boosters who say AI can do things it can’t, or detractors who label anything they can’t personally do as slop.

I'm sitting watching one of those videos of those silly games where you clean things, while I playtest Delve64, and inspiration strikes.Dungeon Janitor.Someone has to clean up after the Hero's Party slays the Demon King. Guess you drew the short straw, 'cause here's a mop and bucket.

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@isotopp/116651775368120051My objection to this line of thinking is that it presumes that the current industry can scale up cost effectively.It can't. It's about to hit a wall at 100Kph. There's no way to make the world they want to make and make a profit. AI can't do what they want it to do, and no amount of hardware will change that.The avalanche has started, it is too late for the pebbles to vote.RT: https://infosec.exchange/users/isotopp/statuses/116651775368120051

The surveillance state wants to extract value, but there's almost no value left to extract. People don't have any more money to spend. There's no "there" there. And I assure you, when people start having to choose between "work 60 hours a week and still have no money" and "not work at all and still have no money", they will not choose to starve and work.

Economic crashes happen for a multitude of reasons. One of these reasons, and the relevant one here, is that Capitalism forgets that the masses are not an infinite supply of money to be taken from. They're real people with hard choices to make, and families to feed, and very little left to have taken.

What's going to happen is that investors will eventually realize there's no final state where they see a profit, and pull out -- the contracts will get cancelled, the hardware sold off at fire sale prices to recoup something, and the people involved will be pariahs.

Mazes of Malice strategy guide:You will spend more time searching for ammo and potions than you will fighting. This is not a traditional roguelike.Some runs just won't work out. If there's no risk of failure, success is meaningless.Do not engage anything you can't stomp with a foot directly. You will die.Search. Every. Barrel.Sometimes your best option is to run for the exit and hope.Pause and think before you act. This is as much a game of problem solving as it is exploration and action. Those barrels aren't just for searching, you can push them around. Think about how you might use that later on.Once monsters notice you, they will hound you relentlessly until one of you is dead. This is not always to your disadvantage.

Mazes of Malice, Beta 1 is released!This version is a functionally complete game. It fixes every known bug, has all the intended features and enemies and functionality, and polishes the control scheme for easier one-handed play. All that remains is any bug fixes that happen to be needed for a full release.Also, the release model is changing, in preparation for the full release. There is now a free, time-limited shareware demo version, and the full version, which costs CAD$5.00, and includes all future updates at that price.I hope Mazes of Malice is your new favourite C64 game!https://studio8502.itch.io/mazes-of-malice#GameDev #c64 #retrogaming

Forget you and me, the thing these AI CEOs are asking of the Capitalist Class, the investors, is to blindly spend a literal mountain of treasure on a boondoggle that will never, ever see a return on investment. There will be no superintelligence, no AGI breakthrough, none of those things can or will happen at this level of tech.

Mass surveillance and AI in everything are already massively unpopular. People don't invent slurs for things they want to spend money on.

It's getting to the point where I don't even want to look at a compiler anymore. All the fun has been sucked out of it for me lately.

All these newfangled languages piss me off. Rust can go corrode. Swift can make like a bird and fly the fuck away. Go can do just that.

Do I even have a place in tech anymore? I code in C, for fuck's sake. I'm a relic.
