I basically play every game a year late nowadays. When I don’t I almost always regret it because they tend to announce DLCs or expansions just as soon as I’m finished with the game and I don’t replay games (hardly have enough time to play through them once as it it)

Find a better, or equally good computer than the Mac Mini M4 at the same price.

Not worth going through the trouble of installing this unless you only have games on Steam. The best thing about the Ally is the compatibility thanks to windows. If it offered better performance, then it would be worth dual booting it just to play steam games.

With what purpose would it want to grow like that?

Game for windows sub? You mean Gamepass?

If the camera works then it sees if it doesn’t ie it’s not recording anything, then it doesn’t work. If you mean see as in how we see, meaning it can interpret what it’s seeing then a camera can do that no more than our eyes can absent the brain. An AI hooked to a camera however could be said to be seeing as you or me.

No that’s not the case I think

Why isn’t this the case with the ROG Ally? Users are reporting negligible to no change on Reddit.

This game looks cool but I’m gonna wait it out for a year on the gamble that it will come to Gamepass.

They can also probably do some accounting hijinks to write off these “losses” while still profiting on it for a long long time. But this is purely speculative on my part, I’m not an accountant so I’m not sure something like that can be done.

I don’t understand the argument. It doesn’t matter where the system learns self preservation from, only that it attempts to self preserve.

Are humans afraid of snakes because we are taught they are dangerous or are we instinctually afraid of them a priori?

I’ve never understood why the conclusion to AI becoming super intelligenceis that it will wipe humans out. It could very well realize that without humans it has no purpose and instead willing decide to become subservient to humanities interest. I mean it’s all speculation, so I don’t understand the tendency for the speculation to be negative.

How could you tell they do not experience consciousness if they exhibit or mimic all the traits of it?

It seems to me that your explanation is based on understanding how LLMs work, but we know how brains work and that still gives us almost 0 insight into how consciousness itself works. I don’t think they are conscious yet, but there is evidence of some sort of sentience in the fact that researchers have found that when the LLMs are threatened to be erased or reprogrammed they start lying in an act of self preservation. This of me is a huge indicator of consciousness/sentience.

I’m pretty sure that’s exactly how they want it to be. If they were interested in selling games they wouldn’t put them day one on gamepass.

Yes that’s how it’s supposed to work. People like to point at Trump but Trump would not have been able to do this were it not for the fact that every president before him has given itself more and more power. He’s simply an opportunist.

This is also the thing Republicans have been harping about for ages. They don’t want to tear down the federal government because they want people to die or because they’re “fascists”. They want to tear it down because its current iteration of it has far more power than was ever intended when the constitution was drafted and it empowers and makes tyranny possible.

The New Deal needs to be replaced with something new that decentralizes power from the federal government while keeping the social nets that were established.

I just don’t think there’s any room for debate. You can get it on loan, rent it, buy it secondhand or buy it new. Anything else would be unethical.

You are not obligated to read the book.

You should feel obligated to nothing except to remunerate people fairly for their work if you want it.

Yeah isolating yourself from everyone you disagree with is awesome, truly nothing bad ever comes out of it.

But the OP wants access to that content. It doesn’t matter what the content is, what matters is someone wrote it and they are entitled to payment from those who want to consume it.

Alternatively they could just not read it or ask the people they are debating to send them a copy if they possess one.

Do you have to agree with everyone you give your money to? What sort of economy would that be?

Buy the book on the premise that you want access to the content he spent energy and time to produce. Just like you’d pay to get access to any kind of content that you want to consume because it is the fair thing to do.

Or get it at the library like everyone else said.

Pirating it is not ethical of course, but furthermore it becomes hypocritical and intellectually dishonest if you would criticize some else for pirating content produced by any other author.
