You can advertise your stuff on those platforms but actually publish your content on your own website.

It is almost as if content creators were all warned that would happen if they host everything on centralized platforms outside their control but nobody listened.

Well, for one thing for consciousness to be real there needs to be some form of consciousness and LLMs don’t have that.

Superhuman intelligence is not threatening about AI, inhumane behavior is and corporations don’t just display that occasionally but constantly.

It looks more like people have to fight a constant battle to keep capitalism in check because capitalism itself is incapable of rational behavior and just does the same things to optimize profits regardless of consequences for any other indicators.

Have you seen the behavior of parties captured by the capitalist end of the political spectrum? They very much are not the rational actors trying to preserve their own income by keeping consumers alive. If they were they would try to optimize consumer health and spending money instead of aiming for highscore-like accumulation of wealth in the hands of a few that can’t spend it on anything meaningful any more anyway because they can already afford everything that could meaningfully improve their life a million times over.

I wasn’t so much thinking about use in games as just use in other software on the system that keeps running while the game is in use. The game can coordinate its own resource usage but independent software has a harder time with that.

I am so sick and tired of these control problem people not understanding that a) we do not have AI that is anywhere near as advanced as they worry about and b) we already have human organizations called corporations who have been acting exactly like the AI they worry about for decades.

One thing that might also require more memory in the future is to do both at the same time (keep LLMs loaded while gaming).

Yes, if that was the purpose that data would be quite useful.

The Index’s initial report provides first-of-its-kind data and analysis based on millions of anonymized conversations on Claude.ai, revealing the clearest picture yet of how AI is being incorporated into real-world tasks across the modern economy.

I feel this is a bad way to determine impact since from an AI conversation transcript’s point of view “excellent result, let me present that to my boss and clients” and “total horseshit, let me use something other than an LLM for this task” look essentially exactly the same.

Also never even start optimizing until you profile and are sure the bit you are trying to optimize even matters to the overall performance of your program.

Might make an interesting science fiction novel, AI takeover via teaching the next generation as an AI assistant to their parents.

Makes sense, taller Germans throw too much of a shadow to make the solar worth it.

And it is not even like grinding in a game like, say, Minecraft, where you work on getting some resource and then get to look at something nice you built with them afterwards, it is often literally just some checkbox or counter.

Funnily enough I don’t watch movies very often for similar reasons. They feel so shallow compared to a good series due to the limited time the creators have to tell any stories.

Making friends online who don’t live anywhere near you is probably another thing more common among science fiction and fantasy readers than in other genre target audiences.

Books so large they literally fuck up your wrists from holding them for too long are certainly part of the reason physical books are on the decline in some fields.

Politically however it seems to be all right lately.

Presumably science fiction and fantasy readers are more likely to use e-books and audio-books over paper books and more likely to use online stores over brick and mortar than some other demographics.
