…Clint Eastwood? Are you implying Clint fucking Eastwood is a paragon of morality or am I misreading this somehow?
…Clint Eastwood? Are you implying Clint fucking Eastwood is a paragon of morality or am I misreading this somehow?
Doesn’t matter. This dude has literally opened referred to himself as a Nazi and Hitler apologist and people still put his shit on playlists and radio stations are still playing his music.
Kanye is proof that morality is just posturing, and the moment it is an inconvenience the vast majority will immediately discard it.
I see your point and I agree, except that that isn’t what these headlines are saying. Granted, perhaps that’s just the standard issue of sensationalism and clickbait rather than being specific to this issue, but the point remains that while the articles may be as you claim, the headlines are still presented instead as “A chainsaw can’t even drive a simple nail into wood without issue and that’s why you should be angry anytime you hear a chainsaw.” I dunno. I’m just so exhausted.
Anyone else tired of these clickbait headlines and studies about LLM which center around fundamental misunderstandings of how LLMs work, or is it just me?
“ChatGPT didn’t get a single answer on my algebra exam correct!!” Well yes, because LLMs work on predictive generation, not traditional calculation, so of course they’re not going to do math or anything else with non-language-based patterns properly. That’s what a calculator is for.
All of these articles are like complaining that a chainsaw is an inefficient tool for driving nails into wood. Yeah; because that’s not the job this tool was made for.
And it’s so stupid because there are ton of legitimate criticisms about AI and the AI rollout to be had; we don’t have to look for disingenuous cases of misuse for critique.
I’ve told the story before, but I worked a MarketPro Computer Show & Sale a million years ago and was stationed next to a booth selling mostly speakers and stereo equipment where the booth owner had brought his 10-ish year old son with him. This son preceded to play “Around the World,” full-blast, through an enormous stack of display speakers, instantly filling the entire convention hall. Then he put the song on repeat. All day. No exaggeration, he did not play a single other song for the entirety of the 10 hour shift, just “Around the world, around the world… around the world, around the world… around the world, around the world” endlessly.
That kid is a legend of trolling.
Why are the animal’s choices never considered in this equation?
Sapience vs sentience. Hope that helps your understanding!
You, my friend, are 100% correct in your take on the topic.
Boring pop culture opinions that nobody actually likes but which wear the cadence of interesting content so people unthinkingly clap along out of habit even though nobody is actually edified by it or sincerely enjoying it.
I think this kind of meme is the same thing as people who pretend to hate the word “moist.”
I will give Eric/ConcernedApe all of the patience and grace he asks for. Man is a good guy and legend of game development.
I’m just curious, what exactly would you prefer to see here? I don’t think this community is specific controversies, but I do think it is, and rightly so, mostly focused on gaming discussion rather than just games. And contentious topics are simply famously those which cause and often merit the most discussion.
Would you prefer instead if all of the posts were simply “How Great Is God of War?” followed by a chain of comments saying nothing but agreement?
Just like truth in advertising laws exist, some restrictions are rightly placed on free speech in the interest of consumer protection. Imo this case clearly should fall under similar consideration.
Sincere thank you for providing what I was referencing 👍
A general NDA is reasonable, sure, but allowing only comments which glaze the game but not those which criticize it is not. I genuinely cannot even fathom how you think the contrary; I don’t mean that in offensive, so if you can articulate why you believe that way I would like to try and understand.
Because they want the benefits of advertising with the power of word-of-mouth, all at the expense of free.
That they think they can get away with it is bananas to me.
For those who choose the man and the bear
Fucking bonkers. Between this an McD’s changing their ToS to say using their app waives any right to non-arbitration dispute, something needs to be done about companies trying to effectively write new laws into their ToS. This shit is beyond egregious
This! God, please.
It’s still packaged with that awful and invasive nProtect GameGuard garbage though, so be be aware of what you’re buying before you make the choice.
Imo there is an enormous difference between personal moral failings, hell even personal acts of evil, and endorsing a hateful and toxic ideology.
I don’t expect my artists to be paragons of personal virtue, but I absolutely am not okay supporting artists who are actively spreading hate.
