The complaints about NFTs were also that they were unethical - consumed a shitton of electricity for no reason, sustained themselves mostly by scams and rugpulls. The chief use case of crypto has always been crime and money laundering.
The complaints about AI are that it fucking sucks and results in a truly insane waste of resources towards something that doesn't solve literally any problems, like NFTs squared. The unethical aspect of it all is just a cherry on top that makes using LLMs a no-go even if it happened to kinda work for your problem.
I’m not surprised by the results, but it’s hardly a fair assessment of the usefulness of AI.
It's a more than fair assessment of the claims of usefulness of AI which are more or less "fire all your devs this machine is better than them already"
I saw glimpses of someone playing some weird shit on a mobile phone, so I texted my bff group chat that it looks like someone's playing a pokemon game but it's anime girls racing around a track or something, but it was 18:30 in public transit, hard day at work, really hot, so I was like probably I'm hallucinating something
Then the responses I got were like "ye it's probably this very popular Umami Horny Derby game where you date horse waifus, everyone's been playing it for weeks" and I haven't been more depressed in ages
It seems that the test itself is generated by autoplag? At least that's how I understand the PS and one of the comments about "vibe regression" in response to an error
The Player of Games in which a smart nerd like themselves get recruited as an agent to bring down an empire a bit like our own by being really really good at games.
I'm sorry, I have no idea what this book is, but calling it "The Player of Games" is so funny to me.
adjust fedora I am not a gamer, I am A Player of Games
Just the usual stuff religions have to do to maintain the façade, "this is all true but gee oh golly do NOT live your life as if it was because the obvious logical conclusions it leads to end in terrorism"
Not doing your due dilligence during recruitment is stupid, but exploiting that is still unethical, unless you can make a case for all of those companies being evil.
Like if he directly scammed idk just OpenAI, Palantir, and Amazon then sure, he can't possibly use that money for any worse purposes.
My immediate gut reaction to a rule as general as this is that there's fat chance it's universally applicable, there will always be cases where active would be clunky.
Like I can't imagine an RPG protagonist exclaiming that "Someone trapped this chest!" instead of the 100% more natural "This chest was trapped!"
This article is wild already, on the first page there's this quote
‘Do not use the passive voice when such use makes a statement clumsy and wordy. . .
Do not, by using the passive voice, leave the agent of the verb vaguely indicated, when the agent should be clearly identified.’ [Edwin Woolley, Handbook of Composition, 1907, p. 20]
Emphasis mine on... a clear usage of the passive! In active this would have to be "when you should clearly identify the agent" or something of the like, the fuck, how hard is it to not expose your whole ass like this mate

That's wrong on both counts.
