Things might be happening for flawed reasons but this is pretty reassuring for the future of current AI.

We're incredibly lucky that AI is expensive to make but cheap to use. Open source models will keep everyone on a relatively even playing ground.

I've mostly seen a lot of concern on Era about AI pushing people out of jobs.
I lot of those people don't think AI is good though. For example the WGA wants to ban AI for script writing even though it sucks for script writing. Their fear is that the AI can write a bad script and then fewer humans are needed to fix it up.

it's not just AI,.. a lot of supposed tech enhancements suck.   autocorrect typically does more harm than good.  speech to text is awful any time it's not something like a call center where a very specific question is asked and all it needs to do if distinquish "yes" from "no".   i literally think that the way google/facebook/ect only show you "results you'll be interested in" is a primary factor in the polarization of america and the eventual downfall of demacracy.  clearly these tools have been put to far greater use by authoritarians like russia/china then it has in free countries.

i can see a few ways in which AI could make lives better.  i just also see the far more ways that AI will be used inappropriately to the detriment of humanity.   i promise you it's not going to be long before someone utilizes this tech in cars/drones as murder bots.   it only takes 1 bumb in the world and I assure you there are far more than 1.  has horrible as nukes are at least they aren't easily accessible.
Luckily right now AI is equivalent to a human. It's hard to predict the future where AI is better than us.

i'm really curious to see how this goes for MS.  with ABK back on track this might be the moment we look back on and declare,.. "yep, that was it.  that was the moment when playstation died."
Doubt.

lol do you really think xbox will be managing these studios well?

I bet their showcase will be pretty fun and people will declare playstation dead, but people's opinions will sour once the games actually release. Can you look back at any other E3 show from them and declare "yup, all those games were worth the hype?"
It'll be a mix.
Avowed, Starfield will be amazing.
Fable will probably end up being terrible.

I dunno.  with ABK back on track I expect MS to go on a blitzkrieg for as many publishers as possible.  gotta get them all before regulatory noticed they have a monopoly on video games.

This was even worse...

Spoiler for Hidden:
The Pearls advocate hitting children with tree branches, belts and other "instruments of love" to instill obedience, and recommend that toddlers who take slowly to potty training be washed outdoors with cold water from a garden hose. Their book advocates "training sessions" in which infants, as soon as they are old enough to crawl, are placed near a desired object and repeatedly struck with a switch if they disobey commands not to touch it.


yeah probably,.. but not as personally relatable for me.  as far as i remember my potty training was uneventful.

not sure how many of you can view this due to pay walls but:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/interactive/2023/christian-home-schoolers-revolt/?itid=hp-top-table-main_p001_f002

i was not home schooled but i grew up in a conservative household that was just as dedicated to child abuses as they describe here.   was a difficult read for me tbh.

I see very few opponents of AI acting that way. Instead it's always about acting as if the tech sucks and pointing out its failures.
I've mostly seen a lot of concern on Era about AI pushing people out of jobs.
