  • Being entitled to equal rights doesn't mean they actually get them. It also doesn't account for the fact that many Palestinians are denied citizenship or remain in occupied territories controlled by Israel and explicitly not guaranteed equal rights

    The comprehensive report, Israel’s Apartheid against Palestinians: Cruel System of Domination and Crime against Humanity, sets out how massive seizures of Palestinian land and property, unlawful killings, forcible transfer, drastic movement restrictions, and the denial of nationality and citizenship to Palestinians are all components of a system which amounts to apartheid under international law. This system is maintained by violations which Amnesty International found to constitute apartheid as a crime against humanity, as defined in the Rome Statute and Apartheid Convention.

  • That's basically what most tech companies are trying to optimize these days, the ability to make money off of other people's work. It's why they're so hyped about trying to use AI to replace the very workers it's trained on.

  • Oh I see, so more horizontal movement style games? Maybe Moon Hunters?

    I feel like a lot of stuff like that is probably going to fall into the roguelike category. But as a fan of RPGs roguelikes always bug me because I need progression. Soulslikes such as Hunt the Night or Duel Corp might be better, but based on your description that's probably too much on the action side and not enough on the rpg side

  • It's not pixel art, but does Muramasa: The Demon Blade count?

    Not sure if it's RPG-y enough, but Katana Zero does sort of match that kind of style

  • But simply knowing the right words to say in response to a moral conundrum isn't the same as having an innate understanding of what makes something moral. The researchers also reference a previous study showing that criminal psychopaths can distinguish between different types of social and moral transgressions, even as they don't respect those differences in their lives. The researchers extend the psychopath analogy by noting that the AI was judged as more rational and intelligent than humans but not more emotional or compassionate.

    This brings about worries that an AI might just be "convincingly bullshitting" about morality in the same way it can about many other topics without any signs of real understanding or moral judgment. That could lead to situations where humans trust an LLM's moral evaluations even if and when that AI hallucinates "inaccurate or unhelpful moral explanations and advice."

    Despite the results, or maybe because of them, the researchers urge more study and caution in how LLMs might be used for judging moral situations. "If people regard these AIs as more virtuous and more trustworthy, as they did in our study, they might uncritically accept and act upon questionable advice," they write.

    Great, so the headline of the article directly feeds into the issue the scientists are warning about when it comes to public perception of AI morality

  • Want to feel older? Since the N64, we've had the GameCube, Wii, Wii U and Switch. The latter of which has been out for 7 years already and is probably going to be replaced soon.

  • Well shit, time to find an alternative

  • I feel the same about a lot of Fediverse apps right now. They're kinda just coasting on the fact that they're not big enough for most spammers to care about. But they need to put in solid defenses and moderation tools before that happens

  • Like what even is a legitimate use case for these? It just seems tailor made for either misinformation or pointless memes, neither of which seem like a good sales pitch

  • Worse, since if you tip through the game you're almost certainly just giving that money to the execs

  • Yeah sorry, I went with the auto generated title but probably should have done some editing on it for clarity. I think the game looks neat but it does feel like the site was trying to hit as many SEO words as possible

  • Haha yeah, I'm just getting to a point where I'm old and don't want to make new accounts for things

  • Shame they never released VII, VIII and IX for the DS. At the very least, the 3DS would have been able to handle all the way up to the PS2 games but SE just didn't seem interested in remakes on Nintendo consoles anymore for whatever reason.

  • Sounds really cool, though still very light on details. I also hope it's playable solo since it feels so hard to get a group of 4 people together as a working adult

  • No, just that sales is probably not the only metric they're looking at when buying ads. It's about maintaining their brand image too.

    We saw this with Amazon when a bunch of news articles about their union busting and poor work conditions were breaking. There were tons of ads from Amazon about how much people love working there and how great it is. They knew they needed to influence their public image and advertising is how they do it.

  • The issue is that ads these days are largely less about actually informing people about a product and more about a well-known brand keeping its market dominance. At this point, there's basically no one who doesn't know about McDonald's or Coke but they still advertise heavily because they want to constantly be on people's minds. They're not really concerned about a return on their advertising investment as long as they're still maintaining their position.

  • Well feeling less bad about switching to a OnePlus now
