Racing games too, especially single player races.

If conditions are the same every run, it will eventually find the mathematically fastest way. I saw a video about a guy doing it, and after thousands of runs the bot noticed a glitch if the car wasn’t on four wheels allowing it to move insanely fast. Like grinding a rail in Tony Hawk, the bot would immediately do it, and run the entire course on the glitch.

That’s not human intelligence tho, that’s the same as when a slime mold can design a transportation network as effectively as we can.

I can’t believe I’m not really not really flying a spaceship!

Work is hard, modern games are easy.

Shoot this dot, go to that dot, bring “x” to this dot…

Anything requiring critical thinking like a puzzle, the bot just brute forces trying every possible outcome until something works.

It works because games have a finite set of options and at least one progresses. The real world isn’t that clean, and you don’t get infinite chances to get 1 correct solution.

Something people would actually use is a message board.

One of the simple cut and paste forums and pay the $10/month to get it hosted.

Just have people text you to approve registration, something you can verify people are really in the neighborhood

People aren’t going to want to download a bunch of stuff they don’t know about to hang out with the HOA for game nights…

The main problem with HOAs is lonely bored people who want something to do.

Most people would rather pretend the HOA doesn’t exist until it’s needed for an actual issue.

Non-human bots now account for 56.5% of internet traffic

Traffic, not content…

But still, we’re getting there

I mean, cocaine isn’t safe for the body either, but try telling that to a big breasted stripper while she’s punching you in the face with double D’s.

Lots of people make risky decisions…

But in this case it’s pretty safe. Ruptures are so common the filling is just as inert as the membrane.

I would imagine that any artificial thing (including implants) could last forever when left undisturbed for any given length of time

Then you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how things happen, and an oversized confidence in modern caskets.

Not to mention what seems to be a complete lack of understanding what “artificial” means

But they’ll rupture and leak…

Like, they’re not even a “lifetime” thing, go 20 years and you’re risking it. Most are recommended to be replaced after a decade, maybe 15 years. Which isn’t that long for a major surgery and why they’re almost always insured.

I knew a stripper back in the day that would basically beat people up with them, because if it ruptured she got new ones free, and if they didn’t rupture soon, they’d last long enough she’d have to pay for new ones out of pocket…

Because they’re not a permanent thing.

What?

I mean, obviously bones rot, but you think silicone implants last forever?

Besides telecoms not following their own generational requirements that they made up for themselves…

A big issue is that each new one always seem so much better, because no one else is on it.

Once adaption happens and people move to it, it free up the prior one and cuts down on the advantage.

If I said there was two types of fruit, would you there’s more than two species of fruit?

There’s two types of fediverse basically.

1. Reddit knockoff

2. Twitter knockoff

Sometimes a #2 can post to a #1, they stand out because they always tag people and us hashtags in comments, when they manage to create a post, they never seem aware and get very very belligerent when people try to explain what they did that created a post.

If you want to engage with them on their level, you need an account on a twitter knockoff.

Yeah…

But you know how people are already comparing vibe coding to 40k where “priests” pray to computers and hope if they do the exact same thing they’ll get the same result they want?

If we start walking down this road of even the chat or not understanding why what it did was better…

Serious unintended consequences are going to be inevitable.

Like, I swear nobody knows the paperclip story anymore.

Instrumental convergence posits that an intelligent agent with seemingly harmless but unbounded goals can act in surprisingly harmful ways. For example, a sufficiently intelligent program with the sole, unconstrained goal of solving a complex mathematics problem like the Riemann hypothesis could attempt to turn the Earth (and in principle other celestial bodies) into additional computing infrastructure to succeed in its calculations.[2]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumental_convergence

I mean, we can make a very very solid argument that much of our current problems are caused by high level stock trading being done by algorithms who’s only instruction is “make numbers go up”.

This shit aint even hypothetical anymore, it’s just instead of “make as many paperclips” we told it “make more money than you did yesterday”.

Which is why we’re burning down the planet to make billionaires even more money

Well, yeah, we didn’t evolve to occupy a place, we kept getting wiped and having to start over. While something like a Greenland shark goes 50 years before it can reproduce.

We evolved as prey, but we don’t have any predators left. So there’s nothing to control our population.

But that’s way off topic

Market saturation…

The theory of natural limits states: “Every product or service has a natural consumption level. We just don’t know what it is until we launch it, distribute it, and promote it for a generation’s time (20 years or more) after which further investment to expand the universe beyond normal limits can be a futile exercise.” —Thomas G. Osenton, economist

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_saturation

Corps want more people, not less. Because people are potential customers, or cheap labor. Even if neither, their existence as extra unneeded labor reduces the price of labor.

You seem to have been talking about “population saturation” which I get the meaning of but I’m not sure it’s a thing.

It’s because our economic system requires constant increases to profit margin.

Once a company gets to market saturation there’s only three ways to do that:

1. Make product shittier

2. Make product more expensive

3. Mergers

We can just not use the ridiculous economic system we’re currently using tho, it’s easily fixable.

Checking for existing errors is a completely different thing than saying “do this”

We use a lot of automation at work, but it’s stuff like that or “pull this number and put it there” where a human might make a typo.

But still, way different than actually making something from a handful of vague suggestions.

And at that point it’s not really a LLM, it’s just botting.

OP, can you just keep using this account at least?

I feel like I seen these same posts a couple days in a row, and always from brand new accounts

I keep blocking them, but you seem to be deleting and making new ones.

If you keep the same account, even tho you get downvoted, you’ll eventually get less down votes as people block you

If you keep creating new accounts, the people who clearly don’t want to see it are gonna keep down voting, but also blocking.

Everyone wins

The US is doing a pretty good job of replicating one era of Roman history…
