thanks for the answer! so the point is you cant reproduce consciousness with math, because it arises from "solving" a complete different problem then and math itself needs consciousness to begin with

Not asking in bad faith here, for real curious: is it wrong to assume that biology aka hardware in their eyes is solving for some kind of problems and the solutions can be approximated by more abstract schemantics based computation?

In a great short essay, @robhorning.bsky.social has some sharp observations on the same phenomenon: «AI slop clips often latch on to news stories and try to show viewers what the news would be like if it could be stripped of its context and presented as maximally engaging to an individual user.»

I used AI. It worked. I hated it. I used Claude Code to build a tool I needed. It worked great, but I was miserable. I need to reckon with what it means.

I appreciated this article by Michael Taggart, on the temptation to use some of these coding tools and the pitfalls, from the POV of an experienced software engineer.

This is why it's important to fight these issues collectively rather than at the individual level.

Noch einmal, liebe Medien: bitte aufhören mächtigen, reichen Führungsfiguren nach ihren Prognosen für die Welt zu fragen. Und- so wie @sgenner.bsky.social schreibt- echte Arbeitsmarktexpert:innen zum Thema " KI und Jobs" fragen.

Trans friends, thank you for being you, and for, when you can, sharing yourselves with a world that is so frequently undeserving of the light you bring to it. I love and support you, always. 🏳️‍⚧️🫂🫶

In other words, companies like OpenAI do not develop consumer products, but merely launch demos that can be retracted once they've fulfilled their function—never mind that in the meantime,they are flooding our mediascape with a deluge of slop and destroying entire cultural sectors in the process

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a boy is outside at a park unhooking a collar from a large creature mostly out of frame. The boy says, “Sorry, Maggie. Mom says I can’t take care of you anymore.” Panel 2: he continues, “you’re free now.” Maggie is a horrifying winged creature with many legs and teeth. Panel 3: Maggie is flying off into the distance. An onlooker is sitting with his little dog on a park bench. He turns to the boy and says, “isn’t that, like, bad for the environment?”

We Spoke To Game Devs And All Of Them Hate DLSS 5: 'What The F***, Nvidia?' One game developer told Kotaku that after seeing DLSS 5, 'it feels like there is no future for me' in the video game industry

As a game dev it’s not possible *not* to be scared about DLSS 5: It messes with artistic integrity, it messes with artistic intent, it messes with just about everything game designers made *after* they made it.

The arrogance of NVIDIA is baffling.

One lap and then it starts again. On March 13, at 10:35 a.m., amidst the waves, Arthur (not his real name), a young officer in the French Navy, was out for a run, circling the deck of the ship where he worked. To record his performance
— a little over 7 kilometers covered in thirty-five minutes-he used the smartwatch on his wrist. The data collected was then uploaded to the internet.
Because Arthur has a profile on the sports app Strava, and it's "public": anyone can view it.
The young man has therefore just reported, almost live, the exact position in the Mediterranean Sea of the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle and its escort, northwest of Cyprus and about a hundred kilometers from the Turkish coast, as Le Monde has observed .

It is a fundamental problem that the games industry is viewed, and often views itself, as a technology problem

A funny thing happened on the weekend, seems like my AI critical essay from ~2 years ago has hit top google result for said tagwords. I was wondering where the sudden influx of google referrals was coming from. Proud to see it resonate so well.

Wobei: Die emergent narratives, die Spiele wie Dwarf Fortress, RimWorld, Crusader Kings & Co hervorbringen, hat auch keiner geschrieben. Allerdings kommt dabei auch kein blödes LLM unserer eigenen menschlichen Apophänie in die Quere

Ja, so ein schöner Gedanke! Geht auch in die Richtung von: AI stuff ist einfach zu frictionless

Ich glaub es gibt auch einen Case zu machen für: die emergent Narratives werden von Spielenden geschrieben durch Roleplay/ Intentionality und Agency innerhalb des aufgezogenen, von Menschen designten Raumes

Spannender Gedanke. Ich würd auch argumentieren, dass ausserdem die Zusammenhänge, welche solche Games emergent werden lassen, durchaus von Menschen geschrieben wurden. Die Systeme und Verbindungen wurden designt vs. brute force mit gestohlenen Daten

Abstimmungen 8. März 2026: Resultate zur SRG-Initiative Die Schweizer Bevölkerung hat einer Reduzierung der Pflichtgebühren für die SRG eine Absage erteilt.

Der Großangriff von Rechtsaußen auf den ÖR in der Schweiz ist fulminant gescheitert: 61,9 Prozent stimmen dagegen. Das war ein Kraftakt. Aber toll!
