>When you purchase a game on Steam, you are not actually buying the game itself, but rather a license to use it. This means you don't have the same ownership rights as you would with a physical copy of a game, such as the ability to resell it. Steam clarifies this by displaying a notice on the purchase page that you are buying a license, not the game itself, according to Yahoo.com and Tom's Hardware.

Pretty accurate until management gets taken over by millenials.

Lol. Lmao

it's true, you can use it to wriggle into a job that would otherwise probably not accept you
and once you're already in, odds are they'll just give you training rather than looking for a new employee

>>717184759 (OP)
He's not even wrong. The fact of the matter is AI is here to stay so you might as well put it to good use. Refusing to use AI because of stupid moral reasons is just going to lead who don't have such reservations overtaking you in essentially everything.

A rich oligarch is sucked off by poor. Typical.

You don't have to do everything with it, and desu, you shouldn't.

>>717185430
>>717184759 (OP)
This.

AI will make stupid people dumber, because they will be the victims of it, consuming its content making them even more retarded, for example - brainrot and AI boomer content.

Smart people will just get sharper, because now you have, what is essentially a more efficient search engine, that can answer almost any question you may have and even help you through troubleshooting scenarios, and so much more. its utility is insane.

i used to be a contrarian until I started using it at work and its so far had an extremely positive aspect on my job. Get to learn and fix stuff exponentially faster.

Valve was never based (ok maybe they were for a short time before portal launched), team fortress 2 is one of the biggest proponents of microtransactions and the origin of loot boxes. They are also the original "you will own nothing" within the games industry.

>>717189715

Why am I supposed to like that shit again?

what do they mean by "learn to use ai?"
don't you literally just tell the ai what to do and it does it?

>>717190696
AI is inevitable. It's not going to get banned. It's not going to get regulated. No matter how shit it is now it will only improve from here on out. Compare the quality of AI pictures, voices, and videos 5 years ago to the quality of them today. Every movie, song, game, and piece of art in the future will be made with AI. Every job will involve AI. I'm not saying this is a good thing. Everyone universally agrees that nukes are bad but that didn't stop them from being invented, and that didn't stop every country in the world from trying to get their hands on them. Any country that refuses to have nukes out of moral reasons is simply left at the mercy of any country who doesn't. Same will be true of AI. The forward march of technology will never cease until every last living creature is dead, you can either embrace it or get eclipsed by it.

For what, buggy messes that you don't know how to fix because you asked AI to do parts you either couldn't be bothered with, or don't know how to fix?
Sounds like a recipe for something, that's for sure.

>>717195726
I went from being a call center worker to that role within 3 years in my mid 30s, so yes it's possible but you have to be cognizant of the fact that there are less and less opportunities each year and if you want something you have to immediately fight like hell, every day you should dedicate time to learning, every opportunity and interaction in your current job should be a means to advance.

i don't think you're old enough to have known what an actually efficient search engine was like

>>717190063
>a more efficient search engine
ai is basically useless as a search engine. it still lies like crazy.

I've created an independent learning framework utilizing AI which breaks a topic down into a curriculum of smaller parts and then I have testing prompts to gauge my progress and grade me in real time.
Only incredibly intelligent people will truly profit from this tech, which I'm loathe to call AI because it isn't but it's clearly transcended the disparaging moniker I applied previously, algorithm. I'm not denying it'll lead to a worse life for all of us, smart or dumb, but you can appreciate something for what it is, not just it's intended application, like admiring a rocket or a gun without wanting to be blown up or shot, or in constant threat of such by your government

>>717184759 (OP)
how is it a cheat code when everyone using it

>>717197158
because most retards either use it to try and cheat homework or for porn or some other irrelevant purpose. Very few use it to actually improve their lives

>>717184759 (OP)
stuff like this always makes me wonder what the modern reaction to calculators and cars would be. Especially cares since they completely erased millenniums worth of industry in roughly 2 decades

>>717197053
when i tell an AI to give me a summary of a text it will just randomly invent stuff at some point. thats not useful at all.

>>717197479
cars took 60 years to replace horses.

>>717197479
Lmao it's not remotely comparable. People are struggling big time, with the advent of cars people could afford them and imagine them making their lives better. For 60+ years every decision or so called advancement within this country has been a means to worsen the conditions of the average man.

It depends on the model/company, sometimes you have to do extra legwork with it, but what you're asking it to do it's quite capable of and that capacity has extended indefinitely with time and likely will continue to do so for many years

>>717184759 (OP)
No because Nintendo is also pandering to investors really hard now. Also Nintendo's soul died when Iwata also died. They somehow kept Nintendo's spirit alive during Switch 1 era. But now? Nah. Wii and 3DS were the last Nintendo consoles with soul. Imagine how much crappier Nintendo will end up after Miyamoto's death.

>>717197748
>It depends on the model/company, sometimes you have to do extra legwork with it, but what you're asking it to do it's quite capable of and that capacity has extended indefinitely with time and likely will continue to do so for many years
i asked meta AI to give me a summary of the first chapter of harry potter the prisoner of askaban and it didnt get even a single point right. every single sentence was a lie.

>>717184759 (OP)
Is he wrong though?
He's just saying to learn to use it as a tool, since it's no different than googling shit and look for answers on online forums.
Obviously it's no better than asking a real human who's expert at a field, but it's nice to have some kind of jack of all trades who can be easily accessible and could point you out to the right direction on what to know or what to do about a field

also

>>717197934
>>717197748
and copilot often cites sources with the correct information but the citation will be wrong. as in i ask it how high a mountain is and will cite a link to that mountains wikipedia page and say that mountain is 3405 meters high and then you check it on the wikipedia page and it says the mountain is 3208 meters high. at this point its detrimental for me to use it and a simple good ole google search is still more helpful.

>>717184759 (OP)
Nintendo isn't based at all. They'll use AI too, they're just waiting until it's perfected for some use case.

>>717197934
Ok, I've not used Meta's, try doing the same with Chatgpt, I think you'll have a wildly different experience. I've had luck with Gemini too and use it for language learning where I literally talk to it and it talks back to me real time. I'll give you a use case example with gpt
>Discussing Rousseau and moral relativism
It tried telling me that Rousseau believed in objective morality and I said that was wrong which it conceded, because he uses the term virtue to differentiate between morality (social law) and innate goodness of character (virtue)
>Ok, who are some authors that believe change is inherit and therefore can back up our now shared belief that morals are relative (it fights me on this last bit each time, funny enough it at one point told me morals evolve and I corrected it because the term evolve implies linear growth towards something superior when used in that context and it admitted it was wrong and walked it back)
Sure anon, here's a list of shit authors:
>Ok, that list sucks, Plato's a sophist, Aurelius is a bore, the other two are proponents of change and don't see how that's a destabilizing force in society that renders us eternally unhappy to the benefit of our governments/slavers. Give me someone who is opposed to that shit
Ah ok I understand now, you'll love Edmund Burke because of xyz, you should read Reflections on the French Revolution
>Neat, sounds like de Maistre, could you recommend me to him in a similar line of questioning or are you advised not to as he's considered a fascist by some morons
Yes I could recommend Joseph de Maistre, he's a prominent writer and shares much with Burke

And now I have my next book to read, it's been great so far, wonderful recommendation from a machine

>>717198686
i think the problem was that meta AI hasnt read harry potter the prisoner of askaban and instead of telling me this it just made up stuff out of what it had heard about that book.

>>717199261
Yeah and that's going to potentially be a problem with all AIs for the foreseeable future, which means you need to do more legwork which in this specific case isn't worth the trouble because you could find sites and summaries online quickly and easily, but there are various use cases currently that aren't invalidated by that shortfall. I can have it read 50000 line Excel files and find trends within data spreadsheets, and I can check the work and see it's valid. Definitely still need for a human operator to check it all out, but the train has no brakes

All Gabe said that its pointless to waste time coping about the rise of AI and that people should rather look forward and prepare for the new normal. Which is the reasonable thing to say.

I think the "if you acknowledge the benefits of AI then you must be an Indian" is exactly the same thing little niggers do in school when they see one trying to read a book and call him a white bitch. Really sad seeing such abject stupidity form beautiful whites, we were designed by God to do better than that

>>717202813
AI is a tool just like the Internet is a tool. The Internet has 100% made social life worse and has been used to further our enslavement yet it is also the greatest wealth of information ever made in human history. Literally the Library of Alexandria on steroids. The Internet is candy land for smart people. AI will be much the same.

I would rather die than live in such a hell in fact he'll couldn't possibly be any worse than what you describe.
Smartphones and social media made people retarded and ruined the Internet
AI will do even worse and ruin all art and culture. Every piece of art, literature, film or game has meant something because it has been created by human beings and not a souless machine.
If you want to know what he'll you're creating then read "The Machine Stops" the ending in particular shows the end result of what would happen when a machine does all thinking for us.

no one has written a good book in the last 200 years. Nothing interesting has happened to human thought and practice since The French Revolution and Napoleon who was born of it.
If a computer can write something better than Stendahl for fiction and Rousseau for non, then let them rest and let something new reign
Humanity is worthless, you're worthless, I desire to rule all I see and if AI makes those around me somehow dumber and more complacent then what a boon to an undiagnosed sociopath like myself

they don't want open source AI for everyone(good end), they want UBI, AI police state, eternal censorship(bad end).

you're on the side of the jews being against AI

>>717210989
There'll still be human art. It's just going to be competed against by cheap slop. But at the same time look at how the non AI cheap slop has been failing left and right in the box office or equivalents. You can't AI-ify your way to sales success. Think about how the big budget AAA games or dogshit indie material funded by the US government (That Norwegian dust game) did in actual appeal to players compared to some fucking furry's 4 person PS1 game where the initial experience is literally just "collect an item on the ground and make it back to your shuttle without being monstered."

There'll also most certainly be websites with strenuous AI usage to try and mitigate/eliminate any AI-created content. Bit like someone introducing a virus then charging you for the cure they made, but it is what it is

>>717212304
>You can't AI-ify your way to sales success.
You literally can. The fact that people make a living selling AI art on patreon or that some youtubers are entering into the 6 figures territory with just AI videos proves this wrong.
For gaming we'll see some insane success stories when AI starts getting really useful for making games especially when it comes to modelling and animation.

Look man you're correct but in that pedantic kind of way. It annoys the piss out of me how much you have to fucking write legalese asterisks everywhere cover every contingency otherwise someone comes out with an ACHSUALLY.

You know what I was trying to say:

"AI is not a guaranteeor of success, and while we're going to hear/see some success stories we're also not seeing the 98.9% who are part of the screaming into the void because of the lower barrier of entry".
"When it comes to large corporations, flooding the market with AI shit if there is not a customer base interested in said product is not going to be a success any more than flooding the market with cheap scripts for /tv/ and games were during the free-money eras of the 2010s to 2024."

My point is that the product has to be desirable.
>Think about how the big budget AAA games or dogshit indie material funded by the US government (That Norwegian dust game) did in actual appeal to players compared to some fucking furry's 4 person PS1 game where the initial experience is literally just "collect an item on the ground and make it back to your shuttle without being monstered."

You can flood the market with cheap low-effort AI shit that has to operate on the margins (Cheap price but large consumerbase) but this becomes a tragedy of the commons after that initial successes. You will see someone being smart and strategic with their use of AI, but they are going to have to appeal to a some kind of an audience unless they do the flood-the-zone strategy, which as with below will likely be pushed back against by Amazon/Apple/Google/Steam
