My point is that the rate of improvement is slowing down. Also, its capabilities are often overblown. On the surface it does something amazing, but then flaws are pointed out by those who have a better understanding of the subject matter, then those flaws are excused with fluff words like “hallucinations”.

The assumption here is that the AI will improve. Under the current approach to AI, that might not be the case, since it could be hitting its limitations and this article may be pointing out a symptom of those limitations.

It’s still important to point out and put on the public record.

I tried playing it but it’s so incoherent (walls becoming paths, dead enemies randomly coming back to life, health pickups that do nothing, etc) that I’m not even sure this counts as a game. Typically a game has rules so that you can set how you play according to those rules. This is just poorly-generated trash, which I guess fits in with the rest of the hot garbage AI we’ve currently got.

Laying in bed thinking about the problem, “oh, that must be it!” Jump excitedly out of bed to work on the problem, “welp, that wasn’t it.”

Noooooo!!! You can’t just force us to use a Microsoft account!!! You have to allow us to use the bypasserino!!! Noooooooo!!!

It may not “understand” like a human, but it can synthesize in a way that mimics — and sometimes even surpasses — human creativity.

Calling it a “stochastic parrot” is like calling a jazz musician an “audio repeater” because they’re using notes they’ve heard before. It misses the creativity in the combination — the generative power that lies within the latent space.

It reads like the brainless drivel that corporate drones are forced to churn out, complete with meaningless fluff words. This is why the executives love AI, they read and expect that trash all the time and think it’s suitable for everything.

Executives are perfectly content with what looks good at a cursory glance and don’t care about what’s actually good in practice because their job is to make themselves seem more important than they actually are.

I remember reading about this years ago. It’s so cool seeing it being used successfully in a patient! Technology like this makes me feel better about the future.

I’m excited to see more competition! I also like how RISC-V is based on open source work which reduces startup costs and opens up greater collaboration. We’ve all benefited greatly from open source software, so it would be nice to see more of that on the hardware side as well. I’ll be shocked if the chip actually competes on performance, though it may be more of a cost-for-performance deal like ARM. Speaking of which, I wonder how it’ll compare with ARM server processors as well.

This isn’t extensive, but when looking up products on amazon through camelcamelcamel that existed in 2023 and now, the trend matches up:

SSDs were even cheaper until memory manufacturers decided it was getting too cheap: https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/ssds/ssd-prices-predicted-to-skyrocket-throughout-2024

They predicted prices would go higher and, through the magic of intentionally constricting supply, it happened. Prices still have not dropped back down to where they were in 2023.

Just wait until they come out with DDR4 SAM.

It’d be a decent deal now, but this launches in 2027, by which point this would be underwhelming.

It’s not mutually exclusive. Laws are wielded as weapons all the time.

Stick to SEARCH, not making shit up (euphemistically called “hallucinating”).

This only makes me want to pirate Nintendo games.

Monster Bash! It was one of the better-playing platformers on the PC back in the day and I loved the halloween aesthetic.

You know what? They should be broken up even harder.

Now have it stand on the ground without supports.

and depending on where they hang out on the internet, figurative myopia too!

But yeah, staring at a close distance for long periods of time tends to lead to nearsightedness in general. However, I’ve got myopia but not as bad as my siblings who spent less time in front of the screen growing up. Genetics plays a role too, among other factors.
