I would hold onto it for a bit. If you want to run software that isn’t from Steam like the game modding app Vortex for example it can be easier to tinker with it on Windows.

Most of it can run on Windows just fine with Wine or Lutris but you might run into the odd graphical glitch that can be a headache if you are inexperienced especially if you rarely use that application.

The title kind of seems like clickbait. If you wanted to change that you could alter it to be something like:

Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities: The 165-Year-Old Novel That Helped Inspire ‘The Dark Knight Rises’

I’d definitely prefer the raison.

What’s your favorite kind of cookie?

CorrodedCranium, 8 days ago

Good point. I don’t know how I didn’t think of that

CorrodedCranium, 7 days ago

Neat. I’ve had that on my list of games I should play for a while now

Is it as loud as it seems in the video?

In the history of artificial intelligence, an AI winter is a period of reduced funding and interest in artificial intelligence research. The field has experienced several hype cycles, followed by disappointment and criticism, followed by funding cuts, followed by renewed interest years or even decades later.

---

There were two major winters approximately 1974–1980 and 1987–2000, and several smaller episodes, including the following:

• 1966: failure of machine translation

• 1969: criticism of perceptrons (early, single-layer artificial neural networks)

• 1971–75: DARPA’s frustration with the Speech Understanding Research program at Carnegie Mellon University

• 1973: large decrease in AI research in the United Kingdom in response to the Lighthill report

• 1973–74: DARPA’s cutbacks to academic AI research in general

• 1987: collapse of the LISP machine market

• 1988: cancellation of new spending on AI by the Strategic Computing Initiative

• 1990s: many expert systems were abandoned

• 1990s: end of the Fifth Generation computer project’s original goals

I feel like it’s more inline with a staircase where progress is made followed plateaus.

If for example we can talk to voice assistants in a more human matter and ask follow up questions like “What was that last part you said?” I don’t think there would be much reason to regress

“We want to ensure that people have maximum control to the extent that it doesn’t violate the law or other peoples’ rights,” Joanne Jang, a member of the product team at OpenAI, told NPR. “There are creative cases in which content involving sexuality or nudity is important to our users.”

The other problem in my mind is the fallibility of current safeguards. OpenAI and rivals have been refining their filtering and moderation tools for years. But users constantly discover workarounds that enable them to abuse the companies’ AI models, apps and platforms.

Some highlights from the article.

It seems like AI porn is inevitable and OpenAI has safeguards in mind for exploitative content so it doesn’t seem like a horrendous idea.

To find very specific content?

Am I the only one who finds this so weird when we talk about LLMs? If someone makes a bot that resembles some specific person, that person’s rights aren’t really violated, and since they’re all fictional content, it is very hard to break actual laws through its content. At that point we would have to also ban people’s weird fan fiction, no?

Not arguing about whatever they want or don’t want on their platform, but the legal & alleged moral questions / arguments always weird me out a bit, because there’s no one actually getting hurt in any sort of way by weirdos having weird chats with computers.

I could see some people making the argument that it could be considered defamatory especially in cases where it is being peddled as real. Politicians might even try to link it in with revenge porn or other non-consensual pornography laws.

It would sure get messy in a hurry though. Imagine someone trying to make lewd photos of Tomb Raider’s Laura Croft for example and accidentally generates images resembling Alicia Vikander or Angelina Jolie from the Tomb Raider movie.

I recall some people using Akinator to find pornstars they might be interested so you might be onto something.

I feel like it’s going to be a challenge to find a definition of malicious most people agree on.

Someone might think it’s fine to make nudes of Captain Marvel for example because she’s a character. They don’t really care about the Brie Larson aspect.

I suppose there is the option to eliminate any kind of name based suggestions.

This almost seems like a monkeys paw question where I am going to immediately end up with Alzheimer’s if I choose the stock market option.

I’d probably cure Alzheimer’s because it seems like a horror beyond compression.

Really neat. I’ll have to look up a video covering Deus Ex cut content later.

I’ve seen other articles about cut content regarding a space station that would have tied the series in with System Shock and a mission in the White House that was cut because it was too demanding.

I feel like hair dye for dogs must be a thing. Though it sounds like they used human hair dye on them.

If it didn’t hurt them I’d think this is a little cute

CorrodedCranium, 9 days ago

Yeah but I like to think I am a bit better about not ingesting hair care products through my eyes, nose, and mouth than a Schnauzer. Hopefully it was something non-toxic

That’s unfortunate. A nice gesture but it’s a bit late. Kind of like removing online DRM immediately before a game becomes abandonware.
