@lisyarus@mastodon.gamedev.place I love them. Always loved them (Pirates!, Elite 2, Sim City, Dwarf Fortress). Modded Minecraft fills that niche for me today. All games have goals, but a great game is one where you can ignore them, make up your own, take it in your own tempo and still have fun.

@KimSJ@mastodon.social "otherwise share and trade" is going to be hard, and iffy when you look at it, but buy and sell? Definitively. A lot more things should be illegal to make money from.
@j2bryson@mastodon.social I think it's mildly ridiculous to write an AI agent to "maximize your experience", but unless you hate association with mildly ridiculous people I don't think that's a reason to withdraw? Unless I misunderstand something, trying to impress someone isn't usually something you needs consent for, even if you botch it
@955_36@sfba.social @nickfarr@chaos.social At the risk of ruining a good joke (and a good point), the "recursive self-improvement" usually involves interacting with the world of some sort. So new information *does* get into the system. Whether new meat into the sausage mixed with the old meat is enough to make it more eatable is another question.
@hallvors@oslo.town avisa de eide hadde kanskje et godt omdømme, men Schibsted selv? Jeg synes ikke noen av de store mediehusene har særlig godt omdømme
@BGOllie@mstdn.social more H0ffman Ollie collaborations are always welcome!
@TimWardCam@c.im @theintercept@journa.host they have maybe heard of Nuremberg defense 2.0, by John Yoo: "My lawyer said it was OK".
@aral@mastodon.ar.al It doesn't happen of itself. The public broadcaster in Norway crammed us with celebrity Eurovision news despite knowing that a majority wanted them to call off the whole thing.
@j2bryson@mastodon.social the economist must face stiff competition from AI sycophancy these days, but they clearly aren't giving up.
@contrasocial@mastodon.social @_elena@mastodon.social @aral@mastodon.ar.al Just read that @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu vice chair and notable Russia hawk Kaja Kallas was on Peter Thiel's invitees to his "Dialog" society.

@AlSweigart It's democratization. Powerful people always had access to people who told them "you are absolutely right".
@hallvors@oslo.town jeg har jobbet med en liten liste svenske ord som høres ut som dødelige fornærmelser, deriblant rakhyvel
@lisyarus@mastodon.gamedev.place looks like it's specifically about DAGs in Pearl-style causal inference with do-calculus. Which is pretty cool actually.
@j2bryson@mastodon.social I should finish that book.
@reverend@social.undeadnetwork.de @_elena@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu @aral@mastodon.ar.al I'm pretty sure many in the Commission don't want Mistral to compete. They expect Trump to go away and things to go back to "normal" and then they want to be in the US admin's good graces.
@kibcol1049@mstdn.social I'm pretty sure I read about that on hacker news, and also that it was a lot longer than a week ago?
Checked and yes, it was 20 days ago and it was immediately vandalized with hate-bait.
If you are a billionaire and famously present in the Epstein files, maybe you're not the ideal person to release a ton of genetically engineered mosquitoes, even if releasing a ton of genetically engineered mosquitoes is a good idea.
@lisyarus@mastodon.gamedev.place Accidental marsh!
Wait, a shoe retailer called Allbirds?

I suspect the usual "own the libs by making them mad" trick is not going to work as desired on the pope.

Grokipedia has lots of stuff on the South Sami presence in the area, written withfairly "progressive" terms even (e.g. colonialism). It's sourced a bit clumsily, but seems reasonably accurate, and the sources are interesting in themselves.
Could it be that AI-written wikipedias isn't such a bad idea? It can be very revealing for the model of the world which the language model has built - sometimes even in a positive way.
Toilet paper Luigi and the thousand yard stare.
Sorry, I just had to make that joke somewhere.
@dr2chase@ohai.social @mattblaze@federate.social legality aside, aren't you worried that these informers may simply BE white supremacists, not merely pretending to be?
I can see plenty of problems with civil society groups practicing covert infiltration, let alone paying for it.
@theintercept@journa.host Maybe private organizations paying people to infiltrate other organizations isn't a great thing, even if some people want to sponsor such activity.
I know some of you hate AI, but I wish I could explain how good it feels to send deepseek off on a yak-shaving mission rather than going myself.
Det er bra at de er kritiske, men har NRK / Marit Balsvik Winge virkelig aldri hørt om vanity publishing-svindel?

From a reddit technology thread: "AI is basically perfectly designed to jailbreak CEO and investor brains." Couldn't agree more.
@apLundell@timeloop.cafe ah, so you're well past 40 too?
Det er så mange ting folk forventer av deg når du er seriøs moderne norsk forfatter.
Som for eksempel?
Vel, altså.
Å skrive dialoger uten tilstrekkelig tegnsetting?
Ja, akkurat, sa han.
AI-generert barnebok observert på Ark :/
@j2bryson@mastodon.social If you hear it that way, fair enough I guess, but I really doubt they plagiarized it. Weimar-era "light music" composers were extremely prolific, it's going to be hard to not sound a bit like something they wrote, especially if you aim for showy, vaudeville-y, cabaret-y music.
Hvor mange offentlige hus er det i Norge som kaller seg "Kuben"?
* Kuben vgs, Oslo
* KUBEN, kultur og vitensenter i Arendal
* Kuben, kulturhus i Grong
* Kuben, ungdomsklubb i Harstad
* KUBE, kunstmuseum i Ålesund
* KUBEN, kjøpesenter i Hønefoss
* Kuben, coworking og møterom i Orkanger
* Kuben, boligblokk i Bergen
* Kuben, en annen boligblokk i Bergen
Noen flere?
It's not enough to be rich and privileged, the goal is apparently to be able to gloat in your impunity. Little Epsteins.

@peterjriley2024@mastodon.social @rbreich@masto.ai inheritance works equally well whether imperialism was involved in your parents getting rich or not. Also, monopoly (PayPal) did the heavy lifting for Musk - it usually does.
"Hedersprisen Årets Peer Gynt går til en person eller institusjon som har markert seg på en positiv måte og gjort Norge mer kjent i utlandet". Har de LEST Peer Gynt??

Why is YouTube pushing AI-sloppy mobile games?
I guess I know when I think about it, but still.
@j2bryson@mastodon.social well, first four notes maybe. I'd heard that song before (Max Raabe & Palast's version) and didn't think it sounded that much like the Muppet show theme, it goes off in another direction very quickly.
Ufrivillig avslørende om ortoreksien som ligger bak begrepet "ultraprosessert". Alle vanlige pålegg er ultraprosesserte i følge nrk - unntatt røkt fisk. (Røkt mat inneholder benzopyrener, noen av de få stoffene vi vet *hvordan* kan forårsake kreft, og som aldri ville vært lov som tilsetningsstoff - men det er "naturlig" og da er det greit for NRKs journalist)
For five years, I've searched every spring for these. Finally! (with some help from the local foraging society)
OK, nå har jeg prøvd durian. Det ser ut til at jeg er mer eller mindre immun mot lukta. Smakte skikkelig godt også. Min sønn derimot, kunne lukte den fra verandaen på andre siden av huset og var ikke en fan.
Why did I wait 44 years to taste pomelo?

Watching the "thoughts" of DeepSeek scroll by as I'm trying it out for a small coding project, I'm amazed it can second-guess itself so much and still manage to make something reasonably good.
