Machine learning is a useful technology that can do amazing things. "AI" is the cultural phenomenon of people thinking we created a magical solution to every problem. Machine learning might be able to sometimes query a search engine better, but LLMs will never know anything about the world because that's not what it was designed for. Machine learning can make workers more productive, but we're nowhere near the point where it can be a laborer itself. People should lean how the technology actually works so they realize that half of the corporate implementations are a bad idea.

Sure. So long as you are conscientious about how you're using it, it can be useful. The problems arise when people think it's magic and ignore that it will always have a chance of being wrong.

In which case it doesn't need to give a summary in the first place. Too often people won't click on those sources over the ai blurb. It's designed to exploit laziness by making being misinformed easy. Seeing people just give AI blurbs without a source as evidence is annoyingly common.

Sorry, I don't trust language machines to ever know anything. It's not their fault, you just can't expect them to do what they aren't capable of. If you really wanna think AI is useful, recognize the areas where it objectively isn't useful.

That was happening before AI, it's just that machine learning was harnessed to make it worse rather than better. Imagine if they used machine learning to combat SEO or recognize that it's not giving you what you want after the first page. Instead it's just a disinformation machine to maximize how easy it is to control the public.

Veronica is an explicit lesbian who used to date Christine, you just can't romance her or any of the companions.

And yes, I know there are mods, but it's hard for mods to be good enough that they don't subtract from the base experience. In a game like Skyrim, the bar for integrating content is lower because of how compartmentalized everything is (and the writing, while consistently not horrible, isn't that great). With New Vegas, there is a lot more to fuck up, so I'm hesitant to add mods for fear that it'll make the game worse (I've certainly experienced such mods, even in Fallout 4 and Skyrim modding scenes). The biggest thing I've learned about modding is which mods not to install in the first place, and for New Vegas that's most of them.

I mean, they were likely oral tradition before being written down, and we don't know many details about Homer. For all we know it was originally made by women, or maybe Homer was actually an enby.

I'm just salty that you can't romance Veronica or Christine or even let the two of them know how the other is doing. I just wanted the both of them to be happy (。╯︵╰。)

Wtf, I'm literally trans and love trans head canons. Seriously, which character are we talking about?

Olofboost and the rule (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

For a bit of context, this is a reference to a 2014 Counter Strike major tournament where the team Fnatic used an unknown boost to get an unfair advantage over the other team. From their spawn point, they were able to use 3 different players to get a view over half of the map, allowing the pro player Olofmeister to snipe them unawares. They were 13 points down and about to be knocked out of the tournament, but the boost allowed them to win the game and (theoretically) move onto the semi finals. The other team had been using less powerful boost positions against them earlier in the game, and there weren't hard rules against using such strategies, so they felt comfortable using it.

However, the outcry from across the esports world was enough for them to forfeit the match, allowing the other team, LDLC, to progress and eventually win the tournament. It has thus become an iconic moment in esports that shaped both professional standards and Counter Strike map design going forward.
