AI-generated resources swamping the information environment only makes it more important to have the mental mechanisms for quickly filtering out their non-information.

Splatoon is mainly a competitive multiplayer shooter but the new Raiders game is a more traditional adventure game, I expect the sales for it will be insignificant as far as actually pushing new consoles.

A recent comment on a thread here I can't remember mentioned someone quitting to become a diesel mechanic 5 years ago, I think that finally pushed me to seriously considering entering the trades. I think I always wanted to eventually, but could never make the jump when tech felt like a 'natural' environment to be a part of, that's increasingly just no longer the case and I don't feel welcome.

Same boat, used to do backend infrastructure but have now been doing basic IT support at a non-tech industry; on paper I'm still employed, but between making not enough to make ends meet anymore and not even being fully engaged with the work, I feel effectively unemployed.

I'm not sure why this even needs to be the comparison?

Yes there is expert craftsmanship in the industrial scale design of ikea products, and yes there is expert craftsmanship in a bespoke, handmade wooden desk, but AI results in neither of these. It's cheap and disposable and tuned for putting up the appearance of something high quality without any of the actual intent that would be put behind either of the other two examples.

I'm fully convinced now that this is the real reason for the OpenAI RAM wafer deals.

Cool, fighting it is then.

>It's very true that AI has 'reversion to the mean' characteristics - kind of like everything in life ..

Genetic natural selection is the exact opposite mechanism of this... life is literally built around generating exception and experimenting.

The only reason you can even introspect or ponder this stuff at all is on the substrate of your human language. It's no sense to make this analogy with other forms on life on earth when there are plenty of your fellow humans who rolled much worse odds than you. The more disappointing part is how the humans who rolled good odds don't seem to want to do much about this.

"Years of edge cases" for a project that has existed for... 2 months?

Eternal March already happened in 2020.

Does this not kinda invalidate this thing's value as a tool? Surely any real effective prompt injection is gonna be outside of the realm of something one of these agents itself came up with.

Alright, task completed!
