Games•Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification"English
61·9 days agoThere’s also the massive gray area of “what do YOU define AI to mean?”
There are legitimate use cases for machine learning and neural networks besides LLMs and “art” vomit. Like, what AI used to mean to gamers: how the computer plays the game against you. That probably isn’t going to upset many people.
(IIRC, Steam’s AI disclosure is specifically about AI-generated graphics and music so that ambiguity might be settled here)
Yes, I can collaboratively edit within the desktop MS Word app. The online version is objectively worse for that, ironically.
Collaborative editing is the main thing that puts it above Libre in a professional setting.
I use Libre at home, but at work MS Office wins 😕
Well, leftists and our infamous inability to organize without infighting is biting us in that regard.

Waymo taxis are pretty common around me.
Lead pipes are less of an issue that it would seem, as the pipes quickly develop a layer of calcium salts on the inside, preventing the water from actually coming into contact with the lead.
By all means, they need replaced. But they’re nowhere near the contributor that leaded gasoline was. That stuff probably fucked up 6 distinct generations. If you lived in a city, you were inhaling lead constantly.

Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related•RFK Jr to urge Americans to eat more saturated fats, alarming health expertsEnglish
2·1 month agoJim Cramer’s methods for getting out of crippling debt can be useful for people who are in crippling debt. His recommendations for people who are out of debt trying to grow their wealth, are totally useless. But some of his advice is good for a certain audience.
I think the only reasonable health above I’ve heard from RFK, towards ANY audience, is “exercise is good”. Everything else is totally bonkers.
