It’s weird cause technically adaptive traffic patterns are trained using tools like reinforcement learning, which is technically AI, however it’s the broad term AI and not GenAI.

I mean that’s the same thing with AI generated content. It’s all trained on a wide range of real people, how do you know what’s generated isn’t depicting an underage person, which is why laws like this are really dangerous.

This is the issue with current public discourse though. AI has become shorthand for the current GenAI hypecycle, meaning for many AI has become a subset of ML.

LLMs are deep learning models that were developed off of multi-head attention/transformer layers. They are absolutely Machine Learning as they use a blend of supervised and unsupervised training (plus some reinforcement learning with some recent developments like DeepSeek).

Working in the field I think there is two things AI will make an impact on:

• Going after low skill white collar work (basically further automation of semi-skilled labor)
• Being an excuse to undercut high-skill white collar labor wages.

However, I suspect we’ll get a lot of the issues we saw with “outsourcing” where the end result is businesses pursuing cheaper outputs without concern for quality.

I didn’t play it when it came out, but playing it years later it fits the classic B game of the 2000s. Some alien or high tech gone wrong, with some attempts at an edgy meaningful plot and a twist villian trying to take over the world.

Haha, dark void is one of those games I was really interested in when it first came out and have had on my backlog for years, yet have never heard a good thing about it.

You’re absolutely right a out data formatting being an issue and something that really does cause vendor lockin.

I would just think content creators would still want archive/backup of the final products (the video itself). For example could you imagine if a movie just disappeared because Adobe or someone shutdown.

As others have said, it’s a common trope, however “The Magicians” is just all over the place as far as shows go.

Generally what they’re calling out is that DeepSeek currently rambles more. With LLMs the challenge is how to get the right answer most sussinctly because each extra word is a lot of time/money.

That being said, I suspect that really it’s all roughly the same. We’ve been seeing this back and forth with LLMs for a while and DeepSeek, while using a different approach, doesn’t really break the mold.

I think most of the tools have a way to download content, the issue is no one does or has a system for their backups. Which is the risk with the cloud, you’re putting all your eggs in someone elses basket.

This was actually something I found interesting with the brief TikTok shutdown in the US. A lot of creators only had their content in the editing software owned by TikTok or the app itself, meaning they lost access to all of their content.

The biggest risk of cloud only setups is you don’t own it.

I mean using proprietary data has been an issue with models as long as I’ve worked in the space. It’s always been a mixture of open weights, open data, open architecture.

I admit that it became more obvious when images/videos/audio became more accessible, but from things like facial recognition to pose estimation have all used proprietary datasets to build the models.

So this isn’t a new issue, and from my perspective not an issue at all. We just need to acknowledge that not all elements of a model may be open.

I mean, you can have open source weights, training data, and code/model architecture. If you’ve done all three it’s an open model, otherwise you state open “component”. Seems pretty straightforward to me.

I have a console and still play most games on the steamdeck. A lot is portability, but other times it’s what games are on PC vs Consoles.

I think the steamdeck is either sold at cost or at a loss too. Based on This article and others like it, Gaben says the price is a bit “painful” for valve.

Glad to hear that. I imagine most modern stoves have some safety features built in, but you should still be careful - leaving a pan on a heat source (for extended periods) without anything in the pan can also damage the pan/stove top.

Pretty sure that’s most oven/stove top timers as many intermediate steps in baking/cooking require set time intervals, meaning rarely do you want things to turn off when a timer ends.

True but if I own the .exe or physical disk, it’s going to be a lot harder to stop me playing the game than if I’m accessing it through a platform.

Yeah, that’s the point I and the person above were stating.
