Every artist that ever saw another person’s art is “using stolen assets” then. Why is training a meat neural network more valid?

That’s exactly the point. Sometimes you shouldn’t even try to do certain things.

This is some luddite logic. If man were meant to fly God would have gave us wings.

It does empower little guys. It empowers everybody, for good or ill. That’s a what a tool is. I can hammer a nail, I can hammer a nail that shouldn’t be there, or I can hammer a person in the face. Is any of that the hammer’s fault?

I’m working on a game. I’ll be using AI for anything it’s good for. If some people don’t want to play because of that, fine, but AI used properly is a productivity multiplier that cannot be ignored.

False. Time dilation is already implemented and likely proportional to exceeding processing ability. At worst we’ll tick so slow that every moment is eternity.

If woke means “poorly written and pandering to the left” this is accurate on all fronts except Rage, which is awesome.

Free to play is an implication that something else costs money. If it’s all free it’s just a free game.

I value my unhappiness. I’ve always thought the monk nirvana “be happy sitting cross legged on the floor thinking nothing all day for the rest of your life” ideal is selfish and almost worthless. I have ambitions, and if I was just happy with the present I’d have little reason to pursue them.

People that are technically correct? The best kind?

Right now AI is just about useful enough to refresh my own knowledge or do some advanced copy paste. You think that’s where it stops?

I’m a programmer. It is.

When people have to use their skills to make a living, though, then there’s a problem.

Progress leaves many professions behind. It’s lamentable, but a price worth paying.
