I game on a linux mint desktop using proton all the time. The work theyâve done for the steam deck translates almost perfectly to every other Linux distro Iâve tried it on
I do think itâs the jealousy, the fear of being replaced, but also the pride of thinking of ourselves as somehow special and important.
Weâre not.
Weâre dumb fucking monkeys who learned to sometimes not be so dumb, and then a bunch of us forgot we were pretending.
The real lesson in ai is not that theyâre getting super complex or sophisticated, but more us realizing the limitations of our own cognition, and hopefully finding ways to extend it.
Youâre spot on about calculators. Itâs really just that our schools and schoolteachers are unable to evolve, just like with the insistence that cursive is still a needed skill. Hopefully it wonât take a generation or more to update the educators mindset to taking advantage of the tools available, instead of shunning them.
So police canât keep images of criminals faces (recreated and distributed to every cops computer in the nation through computer automation and often ai) without their consent?
And a private company canât set that up and sell it to cops for profit?
why should giant corporations be allowed to replicate and use it to make money without your consent
Because it wasnât yours to begin with
Biometrics belong more to humanity than any individual person
Your argument would make it so even facial recognition would be illegal, because they scan and use your facial info without consent
Same with drivers license databases
You canât say âthis particular use of this existing practice bothers me, everyone else needs to change now so I feel betterâ
Rules on these things need to be consistent, and if they shouldnât be allowed to use unique information that you consider yours without your consent youâve just eliminated advertising, security checkpoints, drivers license pictures, filming cops, and a million other things both good and bad that all rely on using your likeness without your consent.
Youâve completely ignored all the people who have been replaced by automation and had to adapt as âoh thatâs not important enough in my eyes to force companies to use humansâ
The future you want is far worse than the one youâre ranting about. Yours has only the wealthy and powerful enjoying protections from automation, while everyone else doesnât matter (to you, based on your own arguments)
DNA is highly likely to be unique, not guaranteed to be so.
This is a terrible idea. No one owns DNA or genes, and we already have problems with shitty companyâs trying to patent or copyright genes we all already have. Itâs bullshit that only benefits those at the top, and prevents others from getting there by restricting their rights.
Voices are the same. You canât complain about an impressionist imitating you because you donât like it, that childish nonsense. Everything we do is in some way a copy and recreation of what other people have done. AI just automated that process and people are upset itâs harder to rent seek and gate keep things that never belonged to them in the first place.
Seriously, the future youâre imagining has twins sueing each other for rights to their unique âidentityâ. Itâs dumb as hell.
I didnât say better, I said comparable
And faster, without handing over my data and conversations for monetization
Given the locally hosted benefits, and the ability to go to chatgpt for any answer minstrel gives that doesnât satisfy you, makes it strong competition to chatgpt as the default tool
Hosting it yourself also means you can swap llmâs out based on context and what theyâre trained on. Highly tuned models perform better than chatgpt at the things they are meant to excel in.
Ok, then donât play them. No one is forcing you.
You said BG3 was a gift, so itâs not costing you anything to not play something you donât like.
Given what youâve said, I would suggest avoiding anything with an RPG label anywhere.
For BG3, if you want to keep playing, you can skip the character creator. They have a dozen prebuilt options you can play without doing the detail work.
For inventory, you can ask your brother to handle it and send everything to camp.
But even with those, youâll likely not enjoy BG3 because even the fighting mechanics are based around that type of complex decision making, making you pause all the time so that you can make those decisions.
Itâs ok to tell your brother you donât enjoy the gameplay. You donât have to like it just because other people do.
