It wasn’t immediately obvious to me but there’s an entire paragraph about libraries changing and then eight paragraphs later the same idea with completely different phrasing repeats without referencing the first occurrence. I’m not saying humans are incapable of redundancy, but AI are prone to it and such a prolific author should probably be skilled at avoiding it.

This article was so well-written that I was briefly surprised to encounter the term “nerfed” in the middle. I guess it’s common parlance in tech circles at this point.

My wife and I both have our ownn logins on both computers, even though we tend to only use our own.

I thought it already did, and that’s why it was dangerous.

I really like Moon+ Reader and Koreader and I feel really called out by this post. Called out enough to try this app.

And Moon+ supports WebDav.

Darn, I just bought it on Steam. Well I can probably de-Steam it.

Wow that adder was honestly impressive. Great article overall.

On paper, I like this solution better than every app/site developer having to hack together (or outsource) their own age verification system. But I’m sure it opens up a ton of potential problems. And if it’s open source, someone could just fork it and make a version that always says “yes” so unfortunately it’ll never be FOSS.

It’s very interesting the concept they’ve been able to turn into rogue-like form. I played a calculator rogue-like where you purchased additional buttons to make equations.

I still have my PSP 1000. I bought it from a pawn shop with my very first pay cheque. Bricked it with an official update. Maybe salvageable, I’m a lot better at tinkering than I was back then, but my wife’s 2000 is modded and probably still working fine.

Are they coming to harvest the RAM from my computer?

Coming soon: “Rogue-like Game Tycoon: the Rogue-Like.”

I’ve got one in my wallet right now.

I put about 200 hours into an RPG when my son was born. This is because he would only sleep on top of someone, and I was too nervous to sleep with him there.

Mixplorer cam do this. It isn’t available on F-droid and costs money on the Play Store but is free on XDA.

Good! That’s the sensible thing.

One also has to wonder, did they message on their phone from a safe location? Or did they hear alarm bells and their first instinct was to get on their computer and start typing?

AI offering unsolicited advice on emergency situations is a fresh, new level of hell.

Humans are historically pretty good at offloading mental capacity to some sort of tool in order to tackle larger and more complex problems. Consider solving a math problem mentally. Compare that to the kind of problem you would be able to some with a pen and paper. Then consider what you could do with a pen and paper and a calculator. An LLM purports to be all of that, and more, for any subject. It doesn’t matter that the results are often horrifically wrong, once they’ve offloaded the entirety of their mental capacity to the magic box and refocused their attention somewhere else.
