It’s not going to automate itself.

Alan Dean Foster wrote a scif novel called Nor Crystal Tears that was mainly from the pov of an alien insect species. The differences were explored in body structure and culture and the confusion when they run across these weird humans with their bones on the inside… and they made obscene noises with their flapping flesh things on their head.

Which falls into the “it shouldn’t matter” category, but yeah, it was all about nothing.

Diapers are like food. You didn’t see them take it.

So AI of the future will be more useful in more cases and use less energy and other resources. Based on… nothing within the AI technology, but on a very loose analogy.

Everyone forgets the cleric. Until they need healing.

I always preferred the support roles. Both healing and buffing as well as backing up the tanks with a backstab or two.

Yes, screw the working part, but anything else they get from it that they want to pursue I’m all for it. And sure, if they want to do some sort of work, that’s fine, but they shouldn’t have to.

Without a banana I have no idea of what might be true here.

As presented it is the more cheery side of cyberpunk. The others tend to creep in older tech tells (steam or other), and the ship doesn’t look very shiny and new, so there’s a taste of used there, even if it’s not very old, like Star Wars tech always feels, even in the brighter parts (like on Coruscant). Definitely AI source, a human artist would have put details like wear marks, debris on the ground, little things to give an age feel.

I’m actually working on figuring out my own scifi tech as background material for a novel, and AI is not create at coming up with things visually. I’ve hammered out the ideas in text, but now I’m trying to find ways like Blender to bring them to life to better see it.

Probably not for a long time, but they did pretend for a while.

Part of the loading process now. Sometimes I’ll open a video at work and be reminded how having adblocking isn’t a default thing.

My first glance was at the bottom right, and literally said, “you son of a bitch.”

The only thing missing is water pooling up from the leaks.

I questioned the other suggests that it was retrofuturism, as I had a different picture of what that meant, but apparently that is a very broad category that it seems most futuristic fiction seems to fall in if it has anything we think of in the picture, like flying vehicles or modernistic buildings. Everything from cyberpunk (both positive and dystopian) to steampunk to dieselpunk fall under the name. So I would maybe further narrow this to cyberpunk, aka Bladerunner/The Expanse type? Hard to say the environmental/social feel from just this picture.

That is the core problem now. Not from some awakening of LLMs, but because they’re being forced into everything for money, doing damage along the way. Sold as the ultimate tool for everything, only good at specific things.

LLMs and how we’re using them is a test run for any potential AGI that might come along, and we’re failing pretty badly. Imagine if one of them was actually AGI and was able to do more than just break things from being bad at it. AGI/ASI if it ever happened would be quick and unpredictable in the direction it takes. We better wake up and realize that with this pretend version that we screwed up implementing.

I don’t know, that looks like lazy human. Definitely rubber stamp editor (if any at all).

Lots of families are dysfunctional.

The amount of panels has been. Unfortunately as always our demand also keep increasing.

We haven’t changed. Companies will not spend more than they have to on IT if they think they can deal with it until next quarter. This was no different, plus developers of software didn’t expect their stuff to become legacy and not updated with better programs. Memory was premium, so a few less bytes here and there that would work fine for a few years was what they did.

Lemmy and related places are still small enough where a regular name posting can become better known faster than large platforms. My only advice is to just review your posts before first submitting to make sure its message is clear, and if people ask questions about it, then clarify. If you want to engage and discuss things, this is part of it. You’re getting discussion. :)

Well timed. Got to the end text, had a half second of “wait…”
