Yeah, please no Starfield. I love space opera, I love Oblivion and Fallout, jank and all, but the Starfield I got through was so boring.

I’d rather them continue GOTG. I’m not a Marvel person, but the GOTG game was great.

Oh that’s awesome. Yeah, I see the rumors now:

Selfishly, I hope their other half’a working on a sci fi game. Or a cyberpunk one?

Shadowrun? Gods, that IP would be perfect for Larian.

I suspect Larian will take their sweet time.

Bioshock sounds like it’s in development hell; I’d be suspicious of that.

Honestly, the mental health and cognition of America would significantly improve, yes.

Facebook.

It’s Facebook in the water.

Also, watch a Fox News broadcast for a bit. Then you will understand.

Maybe theres confusing crossover?

I’m of the opinion that Starfield, in particular, is unreasonably tolerated even though (from what I played) it’s a dreadful, archaic, boring and sluggish game. I’m of the opinion that FO76 released in a particularly bad state, and that Todd behaved in a smiley “tech bro” kind of way immediately after its release. And I will pound BGS all day over that.

On the other hand, yeah, I’m all for devs re releasing games. It gives them visibility! BGS does it so much it’s kind of a meme, but it’s not bad.

So, BGS deserves some skepticism. But not over Skyrim, really.

multiplayer RPG suite

Are you talking about Skyrim Together? How’s MP work now?

I’ve been out of the modding scene forever, and last I heard there was no “massively” multiplayer and only a coop demo.

To clarify, I was talking all games in general. Not just BGS.

Perhaps they should do it for more games than Skyrim.

There’s a great back catalog.

Friend, I’m going to be blunt: I think you may have spent time creating this with help from an LLM, and it told you too much of what you want to hear because that’s what they’re literally trained to do.

As an example…”relativistic coherence?” Computational cycles and SHA512 checksums and bit flips and prime instances? You are mixing modern technical terms and highly speculative, theoretical concepts in a way that… just isn’t really compatible.

And the text, from what I can parse, is similar. It mixes a lot of contemporary “anthropic” concepts (money, the 24 hour day, and so on), terms that loosely apply to text LLMs, and a few highly speculative concepts that may or may not even apply to the future.

If you are concerned about AI safety, I think you should split your attention between contemporary, concrete systems we have now and the more abstract, philosophical research that’s been going on even before the LLM craze started. Not mix them together.

Look into what local LLM tweakers are doing. With, for instance, alignment datasets, experiments on “raw” pretrains, or more cutting edge abliration like: https://github.com/p-e-w/heretic

In other words, look at the concrete, and how actual safety systems can be applied now. Outlines like yours are interesting, but they can’t actually be applied or enforced.

And on the philosophical side, basically ignore any institute or effort started after 2021, when all the “Tech Bro” hype and the release of ChatGPT 3.5 in 2022 muddied the waters. But there was plenty of safety research going on before then. There are already many documents/ideas similar to what you’re getting at in your outlines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_safety

I don’t really understand what the documents are practically supposed to be or how they could be “red teamed.”

1st is a bunch of quotes, 3rd is QA.

Is the 2nd one a system prompt?

So what?

What if Canada joined CSTO and signed some pact with China. Does that give the US justification to invade and annex them? Because it violates some handshake from 36 years ago?

If Russia doesn’t like all this NATO expansion, they can drag someone controversial into an alliance or do some other controversial thing. Have at it. A war is not a rational response, unless you’re a tankie.

Not going to get into logistical analysis (I am behind on that). Nor will I dispute the hypocrisy of focusing only on a “white war.” That’s fair.

But I’m fervent that the justification for Russia’s action is total baloney. I can, and absolutely will, write it off.

To put it another way: even if Mexico was provably 100% Nazi, and they worshipped China and drug cartels and whatever boogeyman we have like gods, I would still be ashamed if my country, the US, invaded them as Russia invaded Ukraine. It’s beyond preposterous to think they pose a military threat to the US, or that it’s our job to purify them, much less to breathlessly excuse such an invasion as (say) Russia’s fault.

That’s what I mean by “Tankies.”

Good.

Meanwhile, I’m eagerly waiting for the local Tankie to, once again, explain how so much death is justified by the dire threat Ukraine poses to a 17 million square kilometer country with 5,459 nuclear warheads. And, apparently, to their own people. I’m sure NATO is still making them do it, yep.

No politician should be simped for.

Unfortunately, simping has proven to be very effective :(

https://www.comparitech.com/kodi/kodi-piracy-decline/

https://www.digital-digest.com/news-64644-Netflix-Amazon-Join-Forces-with-the-MPAA-to-Sue-Kodi-Box-Maker.html

Based on our research, comparative search volume for “Kodi” has fallen around 85 percent from 2017 to 2022. Google Trends data reveals the dramatic decline started in Q2 of 2017 and has, for the most part, continued that trend up to this point. Consequently, the decline in people searching for Kodi directly relates to the appearance of the coordinated attack against piracy in the form of ACE.

And this is with Kodi furiously distancing itself from pirates at the time.

Attacks don’t have to be direct. Though they absolutely can be, too.

If you think of Kadyrov

Yeah, the Chechen guy.

he’s visibly very unwell

I don’t wish sickness on folks, but honestly, that’ll help me sleep easier. What he says in public is scary.

That serves the purpose too. It’s harder to pin Plex as an “illegal distribution service” when you have to pay for access. Either the streamer or “distributor” can’t be very anonymous, which makes large scale sharing impractical.

On the other hand, the more money they squeeze out, the more they risk appearing as if they “make money from piracy,” which is exactly how you get the MPAA’s attention.

You may (half) joke, but MPAA attention on Jellyfin would suck.
