All three! WoW Forever in two hours, Zelda tomorrow, and GTA later this month. It’s a busy time to be a gamer.

… We’re still on the same thread, prat. Not that you’ll ever see this 😂
Such a great album! I used to fall asleep listening to it as a teenager.
Edit: That looks like Ted Lasso (Jason Sudekis) at 1:57. Probably isn’t … But maybe?
Says the prat.
Geez, you should lay off being a prat for a while, Mr. AI.
You chose it, not me. I’m just complimenting you on how perfect it is. Perfectly stupid? Maybe; but still perfect.
You have the perfect self-descriptive name: you’re a prat about AI.

11·12 days agoJust insight and intuition gained from twelve years of post-graduate study at Universities, including a MSc in Machine Learning.
I’m not sure “like us” is something that is quantifiable. I’m of the belief that treating we meat automatons as anything special is hubris. We’re finite state machines, acting on information input from our senses, making decisions, and outputting information in the form of activating biological apparatus. Swap physical for digital, and LLMs are indeed capable of aping all of our behavior.

7·5 days agoWe involuntarily contributed to their creation, the least we get to do is enjoy the fruits of that contribution. More should be given, financially reimbursement through taxation, but until that happens, free use of the technology is consolation.
Besides, following through with your analogy, if a baby is born from rape - does that baby deserve hate for who their father is?

1·13 days agoYou can also have multiple models review the result, seek consensus, and then review the results of that report. I find that’s the best way to find legitimate issues, prior manual review. Huge time saver because the multitude of models can converge while you make yourself a cup of coffee, and you can find things that need to be fixed before you ask someone to spend their precious time in reviewing a pull request.

1·13 days agoOur short term memory is our context window. Some people have larger capacity for information, others very little. Same thing, different terminology.
I use Ollama daily. The context limit of 10k is indeed very limiting and noticeable compared to the extended lengths of cloud models. I’ve had to recruit a model specifically trained on condensing salient information to perform context compression frequently. I also use the limited local context to establish effective strategies for maximizing token efficiency in the agent.md.
It’s no different from how many tasks a person can simultaneously perform, or disparate words they can hold concurrently. Eventually thoughts are forgotten. What exactly is determined by the structure itself - the context-pruning strategy inherent. We don’t know what our own are, but I believe we have an equivalent.
All I’m saying, in the end, is that anything that can occur in a physical entity can be emulated in a digital entity. Are we capable of doing that flawlessly yet? No, but it is looking inevitable to me. Neural networks are ubiquitous, and our ability to simulate them will only improve.

11·13 days agoOf course factors other than genetics determine the state of the neural network, but the way in which it effects it is in turn determined by genetics. Why more than one to change my mind? Because there is plenty we don’t know, and a myriad of potential explanations. I’m just surmising that we are biological automotons transitioning from state-so-state based on the culmination of inputs into the perpetually changing neutral network structure established by our genetics and shaped by the environments impact on it, which can also largely be determined by the same genetic code.
Environment and genetics are inseparable, of course, so it’s “impossible” to test. I can’t prove it, I’m just asserting my theory based on the known evidence. I don’t “know”, but I still believe my theory is correct. That’s the distinction. I acknowledge I don’t know, and likely never will. Same as you, right?
You’ve seen the same evidence, and come to a different conclusion. That’s fine, but you can’t prove that human intelligence is non-deterministic any more than I can prove that it is. So we’ll just have to agree to disagree. I hope that you are feeling gregarious enough to concede that.

I’m not sure what you mean. They definitely won’t run out of WoW or GTA6, since they’re both digital only, so I assume you mean Ocarina of Time. I bet they will stop selling the physical version, but I doubt they’ll run out before the end of the year.
