The best and worst highway cameras in America.
Some of these states have incredible high-definition setups, while others are basically pointing a potato at a dark tree.
A MICROSOFT RESEARCHER BUILT A WORKING LLM INSIDE AGE OF EMPIRES 2 USING GOATS, JUST TO PROVE AI ISNT SENTIENT
he was tired of people talking to an llm, seeing it reply in a human tone, and deciding its alive
so heres what he did. computers are built out of tiny yes/no switches called logic gates. he used the age of empires 2 map editor to make goats act as those switches, a goat moving means yes, staying put means no
stack enough of those goat switches together and you get a working computer. he wired up enough to actually run a tiny language model. inside the game. out of goats
his argument:
> if you can build the exact same thing out of goats, or lego, or people passing notes, then the intelligence was never the magic part
> the human feel of an llm isnt the actual system, its just the layer sitting on top
> you can measure how persuasive or consistent it sounds, but none of that proves anything real is happening underneath
> take away the chat window and the friendly voice, and you're just watching goats shuffle around a map
what he found: the goat version still produced the same kind of consistent, convincing output that makes people think a real llm is alive
but obviously nobody thinks a field of goats is alive. so if goats can fake those exact traits, those traits were never proof of a mind in the first place
his actual paper is titled "if llms have human-like attributes, then so does age of empires 2"
we spent two years arguing about whether ai is alive, and this guy answered it with goats
The Rapid Support Forces of Sudan have been able to wage a genocide Ratko Mladic and his Bosnian Serb forces could have only dreamed of.
But because the RSF's victims are exclusively Sudanese Africans they never had to fear any international response to their crimes.
Hoy Lumumba se tapó la boca y simuló una pistola en la cabeza como protesta por el silencio internacional ante uno de los conflictos más activos del mundo, que ha dejado miles de desplazados en el este de RD Congo.
ESTO SÍ ES UN INFLUENCER DE VERDAD. 🇨🇩👏
@Natexpat@GreenTextRepost At least Fallout (well, the early games at least), had lore on why the bottle caps were the de facto currency of the wasteland.

There are rumors that Karl Marx will become a leader in Civ 7 with the first big DLC, and it really doesn't make sense to me. Not because he's never led a country, no, that's fine. It's mainly because he was too much of a lazy chud to do something like that
