ChatGPT 4o is the greatest product safety failure in the history of the IT industry (admittedly, Adobe Flash comes close, but via far more diffuse damage over much more time).

It is a *singularly* bad major model, that should never have been released.

I don't think anything can top Ahtal-Ka for me based on the concept alone, but after suffering through multiple siege fights while revisiting the 3DS games, hearing that they've figured it out after all this time is such a relief >_>

I just happen to believe any mechanism for state suppression of disfavored viewpoints is bad because, as you can see in the US, which views the state disfavors can shift overnight!

It's pretty notorious among regular editors; iirc they end up clashing with the fundraising department almost annually over what constitutes acceptable fundraising banners

The line must go up!!

I'm almost unsure what some of them were expecting; the books were so thoroughly cooked that things were inevitably going to collapse eventually. I know at least a few (Altman) are delusional about the upper limits of the software, but surely that can't account for all of the companies involved

I think your take from yesterday might be part of it. What we're seeing feels more like slow, seeping drainage rather than a pop, and it feels hard to confidently say "yeah it's going to pop now" until right before things start going up in flames

I do agree that we're at a tipping point, though

Do you have any reading/takes you could link on the topic? Not an angle I've heard

As always and as ever: the grifts and excessive promises of AI are annoying, but the bit that's really going to deal damage is its use to justify unsubstantiated layoffs and crunches on the workers who remain

Legibility is really good overall! Only concern is that the static layer might crowd out faster speech like at 0:14, but on the whole the impact seems minor

I "love" how the blurb calls it a "chatbot", while if you read the text then of course it's a super-complex harness (including digital twin validation) that used Claude as essentially a symbolic reasoning ML pipeline predicting new inputs based on several years (!) of logged data

"Why do you make art" when I'm making something and I've truly hit my stride I can feel the energy emitting from me like I'm a gurren lagann character and there's no feeling like it in the world

Bloody awful situation, I'm so sorry. Wishing you a more receptive community in wherever you land next.

(GameStop has no excuse for charging double MSRP though lmao, they deserve all the slander that comes to them)

It's hard for LGSs because if they don't upcharge, then random shitters will clear their stock and resell on online platforms :(

My local store is at the point where they're having to run lotteries among regular players to determine who they can get MSRP stock to, it's brutal

Admittedly, if it's weird behavior from Trump staffers they're worried about, that strikes me as the one context where this sort of babyproofing might have an outside chance of working. Still lame for everyone else regardless :/

One plausible-sounding theory I've heard is that Nintendo's primary concern is actually inadvertent brushes with politics, tying back to this (rather harmless-looking) incident: www.pcmag.com/news/nintend...

Sad, but probably for the best. Making the majority of EUIC players source 2-4 Poke Pads within a week of an extremely constrained release was a nightmare waiting to happen

Have you encounted this labeler? It's not exactly what you suggested, but it serves a similar purpose and is just as useful as you describe: bsky.app/profile/stec...
