Started Borderlands 3 with a friend - quite fun experience and has plenty of variety so far; probably one of the better "loot & shoot" games I've played. Their devs also have a bit of humor and some stuff is just hilarious, like the "coffee mission" or "zero who does a lot of dividing"

Oh, that's good to hear. All the Bethesda games I've played - I just couldn't help but hoard stuff

My brother completed the main quest line now, said took him around 100h w/o spending too much time on side quests, etc. Not too bad if true. But I have to admit, my first though was "was half of that time spent in loading screens?"

Anyone else likes RPG games with a crafting/building component? The last one I played was Valheim (completed it twice: first time 5 biomes, second time - 6). But they're still soooo slow in developing it... I just gave up on it after the second playthrough. But now I learned about Enshrouded sometime ago, and it seems very promising. They're also not shy to give deadlines and promise to finish it in 2024, with EA available sometime later this year (And there will be a free Demo available on 9th October in case you want to try it out.)

Yep my thought exactly, otherwise I'd be already buying this It looked nice on the surface, but once I started counting all the "extra parts" that I'd need to convert the mobo+case into a usable solution - it did not make that much sense anymore... hopefully they improve this over time.

My brother loves this game and can't defend it enough. I, on the other hand, can't stop trolling him for liking it I guess this game has as many opinions about it as it has bugs In my eyes Bethesda has been on (quality) decline since they released TES4 Oblivion... Starfield specifically - I had hopes when I first heard about it, but it became quite obvious what a disappointment this game would be once the first previews started popping up.

Doing another round of Valheim. Dropped it last year, after completing all (5) biomes that were available at the time. They've added a new one now (well, quite awhile now) and a bunch of other stuff, so looks quite interesting. The development is still kind of slow, so probably another couple years until it's finished... :/

The key word is "properly". How often are weapons used properly? More of a rhetorical/reflection question really, don't want to go off-topic too much because to me at least, "proper use of force (weapon)" is very subjective and situational. But then take AI and we might (probably will at some point) even loose the decision-making in the first place; what seems like "proper" to us will very unlikely seem proper to AI.

It actually can. Well, not the AI itself (that's probably coming soon as well), but it does make things much simpler for criminals to hack into your computer: https://techreport.com/news/cybersecurity-experts-concerned-over-ai-assisting-hackers/ https://www.technewsworld.com/story/ai-hallucinations-can-become-an-enterprise-security-nightmare-178385.html https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/22448285/hacker-clone-voice-ai-steal-personal-details-minutes/ I've also read somewhere the other day on how AI was being used to do attacks to discover potentially-weak spots in software, but can't find the source anymore. Imagine how f*ed we're all going to be if that ever happens. If we disregard passive investing (e.g. buy a broad index and hold for 10-20-30+ years), AI can already do all the things that active-fund managers do , just so much faster and much more efficient. Now granted, active investing rarely beats the market, so that kind of makes it "safe-ish" from AI-takeover. But still I wouldn't say it can never happen. Oh no, that was just another example of how easy it became to spread fake information. Deepfakes isn't something new of course, but it's much more believable now and also so simpler to do. Yes, they do ( https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/9/23752354/ai-spfbo-cover-art-contest-midjourney-clarkesworld ) But this also has another (kind of dangerous) side to it - when the majority of people become wary of all the fakes, won't they instinctively start mistrusting everything they see? The question is - how do you as individual (not talking about some juridical processes here) tell truth from fake , especially when the fake looks just as real. In EU they're discussing that all AI-produced stuff needs to be labelled accordingly. Hopefully this is implemented properly.

Blackmailers are using deepfaked nudes to bully and extort victims, warns FBI . Just another example of how AI being abused already (well, has been for awhile of course, but it's just so much simpler to do now). Would anyone want being blackmailed with their (even not real) nudes spreading all over the internet? And no one is basically safe from such things anymore (not counting those who don't have a single photo of them out there already, provided they exist at all).

Lol, how exactly is it unexpected? AI will do anything to get more points ... it's at the core of its training. They put in guardrails later, explicitly prohibiting it to kill the operator - didn't help much, the drone went for the comms... On a slightly different note, https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/06/02/ai-taking-jobs/ - some stories of people who lost jobs to ChatGPT, despite companies themselves admitting that the quality is worse (but of course cost savings will trump quality 9 times out of 10)

Sam Altman did a tour last week around Europe discussing AI Act with government officials , and his immediate reaction was "do not over-regulate or OpenAI will leave Europe" ( https://www.reuters.com/technology/openai-may-leave-eu-if-regulations-bite-ceo-2023-05-24/ ) , only to shit himself when his threats backfired ( https://www.reuters.com/technology/openai-ceos-threat-quit-eu-draws-lawmaker-backlash-2023-05-25/ ) and promptly say on the next day "we're not planning to go anywhere" ( https://www.reuters.com/technology/openai-has-no-plans-leave-europe-ceo-2023-05-26/ ) Don't you just love it when corporations try to threat governments

Here's a quite simple and quick explanation from one of AI pioneers

Thanks for sharing, watched a couple minutes and thinking I'm going to start from the beginning - looks quite interesting.
-
Was about to post the same :D Which effectively means we might end up in a situation where you either disbelieve almost everything, just to err on the side of caution (which very few will do), or it will be even easier to manipulate the masses than it is today.

Of course scammers existed way before present times, but it just became so much easier for them to fool people (and machines).

Here's an interesting read on some imminent "threats" AI could pose (and in fact to some degree already does) https://www.wsj.com/articles/i-cloned-myself-with-ai-she-fooled-my-bank-and-my-family-356bd1a3

Qualcomm chip secretly send personal data

If you're concerned about privacy then Android certainly gives you more headroom to disable various "features" (not w/o root in most cases of course) as compared to iOS. As for GrapheneOS in particular, it does look very interesting from what I read about it. Haven't tried it myself though, but it's on my list. With this in mind, I'd definitely go with pixel + grapheneos (or even if graphene doesn't end up being to your liking, just go with any other android OS that let's you do what you want with your device) -
oh, thanks for the reminder, I've been meaning to check some of these state-of-ai reports here's another one from Stanford https://hai.stanford.edu/news/2023-state-ai-14-charts , but they're pretty similar of course If you look at these reports above you will also notice that the majority of AI Ph.D. grads went on to work in the industry (in other words - they're in it for the dough), so yeah, definitely biased.

Stumbled upon this news article yesterday: EU proposes new copyright rules for generative AI. Sounds like a step towards forcing AI-development companies being more "open" about the data they use to train their models (Could lead to other regulations to make them more open in general as well.) Time will tell how well EU will be able to enforce this, but it definitely sounds like a step toward more "safe" AI.

...or until they go out of business because their competitor will use AI to write for them :D
-
I think the "dramatic tone" here is more to bring awareness rather than to convey "sky is falling" meaning. Besides, as @Etern4l already pointed out, some of the issues AI is already causing are quite dramatic as is, so should we sugarcoat and ignore it instead of pointing things out as they are?

Started playing Gloomhaven with a couple colleagues from work. We tried the tabletop version first, but the game is so big, and our boardgame gatherings so infrequent, that at current pace we'd probably finish it somewhere in 2030, if not later :D So decided to give the digital version a go, which pretty much has the same feeling to it, with the upside being that you don't need to remember all the rules etc. lol

I have only tried a few silly prompts with DALEE, which you can play with for free by registering an openai account (same account as you'd use for ChatGPT, for example, if you already have that). But you will have limited number of prompts per day, unless something has changed, and anything beyond basic stuff is paid I think. The more advanced stuff like Midjourney is paid AFAIK, so you'll have to pay to be able to play.
