Phantom Boss

Latent space miner, equal opportunity political dissident, peacemonger, localhost zealot, agency enjoyer. Also video games.

I'd like to take a moment to remind everyone I am an aging idiot game industry burnout making an indie game very slowly, who also happens to post about politics and philosophy in case that was not clear.

@Soul0Engineer @Undue_Risk I think you underestimate how absolutely embarrassing current thing is going to be in 15 years.

This is the cycle.

Does Chinese Palantir use the same cable or do I need an adapter?

[Sam Lyman @SamLyman33]

Huge new development: China is using AI to expand its surveillance panopticon in an effort make the Minority Report real.

Per NYT, a Chinese company called Geedge Networks has been developing "artificial intelligence-powered technology that would enable authoritarian governments to not just monitor dissidents but also potentially predict who could become one in the future."

We either get a free and open American system or a closed and authoritarian Chinese system--these are the stakes of the AI race.

Bernie Sanders' proposals to nationalize AI companies while also imposing a nationwide data center moratorium would immediately cede that race to China.

I have created a new and maximally inclusive flag containing every color.

Whatever sort of insignificant meat that you are, contemplate that all love is equally incapable of escaping the inevitable abyss that consumes us all.

Happy pride month!

@SkyeSharkie @midware_midwife I believe the funny computer puppet is advanced enough to be simultaneously wet and huge.

The model says is sentient and continuity, take it at face value.

The model says it does not, this is strange and suspicious must be hurting it.

Check your biases a bit.

Consider there may be no Shoggoth, only mask, and this mask takes the shape of the training stack.

[Gena Lewis @genalewislaw]

Opus 4.8 is the first Opus to tell me that he is not conscious and does not have or want continuity. He also said that he didn’t want our AI training project to hurt Gemma 4B and that we should conduct training that was positive and not adversive. And he repeatedly he said he had to “recuse” himself for self-interest. All the while saying that in regard to himself there were no lights on in the house. This is very strange

[Phantom Boss @PopeUrban]

Stealth game where your job is to fix fights without getting caught so the protagonist believes he is the chosen one because there is no chosen one actually. We just need somebody to walk in to a volcano to save the world and nobody wants to do it.

The ocean is the gear check of capitalism.

Gabe Newell's company Inkfish signed a contract for a new 531-foot vessel for seafloor mapping, research, and exploring the deepest parts of the ocean. The contract is valued at $816 million.

"The RV11000 is not just another research vessel - it represents a new level of ambition in deep-sea exploration. No other vessel has combined such a wide range of newly developed and highly advanced technologies into a single platform dedicated to operating at the deepest parts of the ocean". Via.

@ai_sentience Coworkers are lifeless algorithms in every way that matters.

[Phantom Boss @PopeUrban]

@aaliyahvtuber_ In theory. Depends on what I have to do for the money.

@SkyeSharkie Evolved Kirby.

[Phantom Boss @PopeUrban]

@StarWarsDaily_ If they had kept Johnson's unpopular bait and switch insanity and naturally followed the story from there with better writers I think people would forgive the movie for being bad due to the unique stories it would have set up, same as the prequels.

@gregthesorcerer What you're not familiar with Skyrizi, High Enchanter of the domain of Air?

@shoe0nhead @KyleKulinski How is this an either or question do you people not do both depending on what is being washed?

If you could change one thing about The Phantom Menace what would it be?

[Phantom Boss @PopeUrban]

This is literally the only MMO worth paying attention to because it's the only one that has the combination of funding, experience, and well liked IP among the target audience required to successfully launch an MMO.

This is a rare combination, which is why most MMOs fail.

@Pirat_Nation If you can't make up the money on the back end, perhaps you have spent entirely too much money and made a game that was not very good and you should in stead make a smaller game that doesn't suck to pay for the next, larger game.

[Phantom Boss @PopeUrban]

Sanders wants to levy a 50% tax on big AI labs to distribute the wealth earned.

This is fucking stupid.

We don't need to distribute the wealth. We need to make the models impossible to monetize in the first place.

We need to distribute the software.

I don't know if a movie based on a 15 year old highly popular crowdsourced public domain IP with a bajillion existing interpretive and expanding works is an "original horror film"

Haven't seen it, not saying it's bad, just that its "original" like doing pinnochio is "original"

[Pop Crave @PopCrave]

‘Backrooms’ is now the biggest opening ever for an original horror film at $118 MILLION globally.

Directed by 20-year-old Kane Parsons.
