Yup Kojima 1000 years ahead of his time.

After the SORA AI reveal today I’m starting to see that luddites have a point. I don’t think we’ll ever have terminator-style scenarios but the amount of damage misinformation and disinformation is doing to our society and now WILL do to our society is proof enough we need to start stepping back. I’ve seen the amazing benefits of AI first hand - new drugs, new treatments, more medical knowledge than ever before, gene sequencing of never before seen organisms. I’ve seen AI help with all those amazing beneficial things.

But I feel like the bad actors are wining, and winning very hard. Basically everything is unregulated and corporations refuse to take even a modicum of responsibility for anything. The worst thing is knowing that our octogenerian overlords don’t even know how to use a phone. I don’t see why i should continue to be a tech optimist when we all know that things are only going to get worse from here on out. In a post-truth society all we can really do is regress.

Self-driving cars lose their shit and stop working if a kangaroo gets in their way, one day some poor people are going to be carpet bombed because of another strange creature no one every really thinks about except locals.

Lmao this dude has no articles

In biology we’ve been using machine learning for a long time now so the AI super hype out there is pretty funny to me. It’s for sure useful with stuff like predicting protein folding and analyzing genes and stuff, but it’s all hyper-specific stuff just like it has its always been. Good for removing tedium for sure as its the reason we can even know the human genome because it would take literally forever to sequence it without modern tech, which we did in the in the 90s and finished in 2003.
My big hope is that all this hype will get people to invest in proteonomic technology which is 100% a great use case for AI and also the future.

You’re totally right, everyone knows that blue has been one of the best flavors for a long time, yet most companies are scared because blue “isn’t real”.

Kbin has been working great for me too.

There’s islands where nothing happens like long ring long land, well something does happen there, but its so minor compared to everything else that I’m not really sure why its there at all. I feel like Thriller Bark was kind of filler-y too. That second sentence is an extremely hot take, but that is how I feel.

If you enjoy the live action you will probably enjoy the manga or anime. The one caveat to that is both versions One Piece suffer the same problem from filler, but in different ways. This problem is best illustrated by an anime about that problem:

but it works both ways for one piece, because it’s been running long enough as both a manga and an anime.
TL;DR; It’s great but there is filler in both.
I prefer the manga, but I feel like the manga is a little rough until it gets to Drum Island, which is a whooping 130 chapters in, but “only” 78 episodes in… it’s one of those “its gets really good 100 hours in” deals.

I was blown away by it completely, I thought one piece of all the manga/anime out there EVER was probably the hardest to translate to real life, but they hit it out of the ball park.

For the AI heads here: is this another problem caused by the “black box” style of LLM creation where they don’t really know how it actually works, so they don’t really know how to take out the data?

I have OCD and after the T.V show “Monk”, tons of people thought they had OCD for being very organized, etc. Media DOES greatly impact people’s notions of things and all the TikTok stuff can be very misleading and outright dangerous.
