If said game, video, or social media site used 1-2.5 kWh of electricity for every 10s of content then I'd say definitely! Thankfully web browsing is no where near that.
Before "AI," humans have created a vast array of "multimodal output" (computer art, instruments, dance, architecture, etc.). Why are you giving the AI a harness and a plethora of tools and not the human in this…
I'm actually extremely confident that I can use the architecture to make a sweeping claim on what it can or can't do and will be extremely surprised if proven wrong: A pure next-token language model won't be able to…
And what's wrong with downplaying the abilities and faculties of AI models if that's what people feel like saying? We don't call humans or animals sacks of chemicals because we believe they have moral status.
Wouldn't "general intelligence" require so much more than scoring well (or even amazingly) on benchmarks? Like what about having some "AGI model" embodied in something (maybe humanoid), and test it by having it step in…
I can just immagine the response to a headline "LLM chooses mass death: thousands killed in horrific AI accident" being something like "lots of humans have caused mass death too."
> So I vote we just ban almonds. Problem solved! I'm pretty sure if we had an actually vote between banning AI data centers and banning almond farming, one would win by a landslide. I'm actually confident that if some…
I think the point is without taste you wouldn't even know what things should be copied out of the countless competitors. How would you even know in the first place if a competitor did a particular thing tastefully…
Isn't this jaw-droppingly the wrong answer?! If the model isn't given any way to directly view the image shouldn't it just reply with one sentence asking for permission. This reads as a model hyper-trained to burn…
Very weird indeed. People must not realize that you can completely change the response you get back from an LLM by how you ask questions. Any bias can implicitly be implanted in the question you ask and drastically…
Well paid expats wearing a hijab, who definitely aren't refugees, will not be treated nicely in Germany. Lived and worked in Germany and saw it a lot. It's a low bar indeed to treat skilled labor coming to your country…
In case anyone's curious I recommend the podcast episode with Zach Barth on the Draknek and Friends podcast to hear where he's at now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLrh8wcBy8I Happy to hear that he's continuing…
But at some point you really have to accept ignorance. Like, there are countless stories that anyone could read and be outraged about. I think it makes sense to determine the areas that you can make a difference and be…
Yeah, the game "Baseball" on the NES is a good example. I get though that an 8-bit aesthetic would be very tricky to get things like the player portrait details looking right. Cool project by the way!
I'm not sure if this is just me but the mismatch in pixel sizes and inconsistent palette is very jarring. This would be more impressive if this actually matched the 8-bit aesthetic of like the NES.
Yeah, I get all forms of media are avoiding the appearance of using AI like the plague. I still think that what they're saying can still be taken at face value. Like if the game has a 3D sequel I don't immagine the time…
Maybe you don't understand, if we didn't have LLMs expanding our ideas into longer form we wouldn't have anything to give to LLMs to summarize.
Here's an example of this regarding the recent indie hit "Mina the Hollower." They were recently interviewed and asked the question "What is Yacht Club's stance on AI and has AI been used in the production of Mina the…
I've been lurking on the aigamedev subreddit and testing out the demos people have been sharing, as this would be the place where people most enthusiastic about vibe-coding games post and everything I've seen has been…
I kind of feel like I'm going crazy when I read comments like this. The era of "little flash games" has never left and there have always been countless number of such games developed. The only thing AI is doing is…
Same thoughts exactly. I personally started looking into indie game dev and I've just started to realize how naive I was and how hard just game design can be, and that I'll probably never be good at it, and that most of…
> I actually have another draft post in the barrel about how I think we should see a resurgence of the ‘flash game’ renaissance because it has become so much easier to make fun little games with AI tooling. I have been…
Here's what the $12 payed for: https://github.com/datasette/datasette-agent/commit/a75a8b72... Such a fix would have only required basic CSS knowledge and taken max 5 minutes with the HTML inspector. Paying $12 to save…
Any suggestion on how I should calibrate my cynicism towards this? I can immagine Anthropic running this experiment multiple times and picking the most impressive one. Or I could immagine like this entire run costing…
I had a thought about this coming from the book "Seeing Like a State." Productivity in large organizations has never been and can never be purely of the legible work which is written in Jira tickets, documented,…
