  • Kind of like how true thoughts and opinions on complex topics are boiled down to digestible concepts for others to understand who then perpetuate those concepts without understanding them and the meaning degrades and we dont think anymore, just repeat stuff in social media comments.

    Side note… this article sucks and seems like it was ai generated. Repetitive and no author credit? Just says it was originally posted elsewhere.

    Generative AI isnt in danger of being killed as this clickbait titled suggests… just hindered.



  • Idk why we need to say we are certain about someones intention. It could just be a mental stability thing, like many people have problems with. His tweets are just far more consequential than a regular persons. He might not be as strongly shaped by social norms due to his fortunate circumstance.

    (Im not defending anything. I just want truth and theres no point in extrapolating the situation further than what we see on the surface… just punish him according to what he did, or become a journalist and get relevant details to judge him further)


  • There needs to be voluntary continuing education for adults and parents in the information age. Our social norms are strong, and people will largely self regulate if they are educated about consequences of their actions. There needs to be public education curriculum changes for kids that are focused on functioning in adulthood.

    We dont need a law for everything. Parents have always been able to make decisions for their children even if it seems wrong to other people, within reason.



  • Dude no lighthouse sensors? God damn it. I just want to get rid of my g2 so i dont need to calibrate my index controllers constantly. I mean it looks fine otherwise i guess. The price tag is a huge miss though. Why would i pay that much for lcd, after-thought controller design? Eye tracking is not justification. And it should probably be smaller at this stage of new hardware.

    Why does htc so consistently disappoint? Maybe im missing something…

    Edit: the auto physical ipd adjustment is pretty dope.


  • Some people just want to hate on trump and hate on people who we percieve to be standing for the wrong things in the world and that makes sense to me. If you are just joking around on here then i get that.

    I would say if you are trying to have an end goal like getting other people to agree with you about hating trump then i think its really important to not lie to reach that goal, or use disinformation to reach that goal. I dont think you are lying when you say you believe a trumper made it, for example, but assuming what you see is true because an ally posted it, is very possibly passing on disinformation and its effects can be just as bad.

    If both sides are lying or using disinformation then i personally wouldnt know what to think about who is right. I think its really important to seek truth first, and then base our arguments on that… even if the other side is quicker to respond with lies, or is more convincing with lies.

    Just be honest and dont be afraid to ask dumb questions so your opinions are built on a foundation thats real above all else. The idiots are those pretending to be experts and causing mass confusion, no matter what political stance.

    Thats my thoughts on the current state of social media and stuff.


  • When a random image/text makes a claim, such as saying trump tried to pass off an ai generated image of himself as real, you might consider its not true.

    Just because trump might not be someone i would trust, doesnt mean i should trust anything and everything that insults him, especially when that thing is nothing more than a jpeg with no information about where it came from.

    So, in order to be a good participant of the internet, and to help avoid the perpetuation of disinformation, i would want to ask if the image has merit before accidentally forming some opinion on the matter. Or maybe even independently try to verify if its true through other sources. So far, nobody has been able to verify anything that suggests i should believe trump did this. So i think i wont be believing anything like this happened (yet).

    Edit: and sorry for coming off as condescending in my first comment. I could have just been more straight forward with you instead of trying to comment something that i expected to be upvoted more. I really kind of caved to the karma system and the social pressure it creates.

    Thanks for commenting. We should be seeking truth.

    When both sides discredit themselves then there is no truth anymore… just mass confusion. Im so sick of this disinformation age.

    Edit: sorry to stalk your account but the objective nature of your comments on lemmy is a force for good. Seriously thanks for your efforts.






  • Sorry but a new pico headset wouldnt do much of anything. New meta headset, new valve headset would give a bump.

    Really needs better content. The hardware is almost there (in terms of cost and accessibility of the experience).

    Its slowly getting there. But the current population of vr users is characterized by: who would play the same limited experiences consistently with hardware that is often cumbersome and loading screens that arent super long but become your entire existence and its annoying.

    Meta sucks but they have been a boon for vr development.


  • Thanks. I sped read and hope its okay if i raise some quick thoughts.

    I thought it was interesting how it mentioned LLMs arent a mind that is formed in nature. I would offer a dumb conjecture that agi, while a mind, might still need an LLM as a component to actually handle the amount of data of a society. Like you said, LLMs are useful if you know the answer or at least suspect when to revisit a result. Maybe we are missing the biggest piece of agi, but handling data is really important and this still benefits us right? I think we will need more than a mind from our local nature to create god.

    Im a pretty skeptical person. When i used chatgpt i was pretty blown away and wouldnt say i was leaning into the idea that it was sentient. I just saw an incredible new tool, and through using it, now understand the pitfalls and can get awesome results that would have never been achieved with googling in the amount of time i spent. Most all of the heavy lifting i have it do i immediately verify through testing and its correct often enough to realize huge gains over googling and my local library etc…

    I think the criticisms of LLMs and their capability arent inaccurate but maybe short sighted? I think criticsms should currently focus on its performance for how we are using it… not how laymens might imagine using something they dont understand. Ultimately any use cases should be heavily tested and perform more accurately than human counterparts (where we are talking about replacement of humans anyway). If we dont find the gains from those applications to validate the power use… or whatever… then we are always capable of recognizing that.

    But i think its 100% valid to push back against idealized predictions but i also think shits gonna get crazy. I think theres a lot to be gained, and i question why LLMs cant be a stepping stone to greater computing milestones even if LLMs themselves aren’t a component of agi in the end.

    What im trying to be convinced of is the criticisms arent as overblown as the hype.
