I've only just started today, so these are my first impressions of the initial 10 games:
Barbuta: such a strange little game! First impression is very hostile and strange, but it keeps luring me in with it's puzzle-like complexity. Discovering new stuff in this one is super satisfying.
Bug Hunter: seems interesting, but did not want to hurt my brain with the strategy aspect, so on hold for now
Ninpek: precision platformer auto-scroller, I am really bad at this so not really for me
Paint Chase: amazing little game, really fun paint battler with cool powerups
Magic Garden: this one got its hooks in me, a great twist on snake and pacman with a risk-reward mechanic. Highly recommend!
Mortol: this is so creative! Still at the start, but using your own body as a tool to be used by your next "lives" is amazing.
Velgress: made me think of playing Doodle Jump on my Nokia Slider phone, good times.
Planet Zoldath: spend literally 1 minute in this, something on a planet, then my brain wanted another impulse :)
Attactics: really cool, sort of real time strategy game. I really like it, but feel like I need to play it more to understand the strategies better.
Devilition: chain reactions of blowing up demons! Quite a head-scratcher, but really satisfying when you start your demolition and everything goes as planned!
A lot of the initial criticisms have been fixed in further updates. Now the connection is very stable, works with outside networks. They just implemented PS Plus PS5 streaming (so without connecting to a console).
Femenism benefits men too. I am a man and while I primarily support feminist causes for women themselves, there's no denying that patriarchy also damages my life as a man. All these toxic behavioral "rules", the machoism, the competitiveness, the hiding of emotions.
That is the irony, a lot of incels and other misogynistic young men are suffering from that which they are siding with, and are fighting against what could ultimately help them.
I just bit the bullet and subscribed to a Linux VPS (virtual private server) at IONOS. I'm from Belgium, so I took the German datacenter. I'll keep you updated on my experiments! I'll be trying out a Luanti server, bit of it doesn't work out I have other projects that I could use the server for :).
How are fake artists able to add songs to real artists profile? I'd assume it would be impossible for me to make a fake The Weeknd song and add it to Spotify?
As for new artists that get recommended, a quick search should be able to make it clear if an artist is a real person / group no? With tour dates or pictures and stuff?
As I said in the other comment, another option is the open source Luanti (formerly MineTest). It is a base "engine" for which you can install different community made games. There are games that attempt to copy Minecraft as completely as possible (with survival mode etc.): https://content.luanti.org/packages/?type=game
That's a very interesting point of view, and indeed well formulated in the video!
I don't necessarily agree with it though. I as a human being have grown up and learned from experience and the experiences of previous humans that were documented or directly communicated to me. I can see no inherent difference with an artificial intelligence learning on the same data.
I never did all the experiments, nor the research previous scientists did, but I trust their reproducibility and logical conclusions. I think on the same way, artificial intelligence could theoretically also learn these things based on previous documented findings. This would be an ideal "général intelligence" AI.
The main problem I think, is that AI needs to be even more computationally intensive and complex for it to be able to get to these advanced levels of understanding. And at this point, I see it as a fun theoretical exercise without actual practical benefit: the cost (both in money, time and energy) seems far too large to eventually create something that we can already do as humans ourselves.
The current state of LLMs is one of very basic "semblance" of understanding, and close to what you describe as probability based conversation.
I feel that AI is best at doing very specific tasks, were the problem space is small enough for it to actually learn the underlying model. In the same way I think that LLMs are best at language: rewriting text or generating stuff. What companies seem to think though is because a model is wel at producing realistic language, that it is also competent at the contents of what it is writing. And again, for that to be true, it needs a much more advanced method of calculation than is currently available.
Take this all with a grain of salt though, as I am no expert on the matter. I am an electrical engineer who no longer works in the sector due to mental issues, but with an interest in computer science.
I'm currently downloading Mega Man Legacy Collection on my 2DS. Any tips for a complete newcomer to the series? I know that you have different stages, each with a different boss, and that you are allowed to do them in any order. You receive powerups from the bosses you've defeated right?
I am by no means an AI fanboy, and I extremely dislike the fact that it is in the hands of big tech, uses so much energy and is built on the work of people who are not being rewarded in any way. It is a new technology that is being forced and abused in the most capitalist way possible.
I do think however, that what you declare here as fact is not as certain as you make it out to be. Research indicates that machine learning models do in fact form some sort of model of understanding of their problem domain. For example this research. I am all for being critical of AI, but oversimplifying the issue might not work in our favour.
