Hmmh. Why ActivityPub? I mean I suppose it's alright as a standard for some turn based or slow trading game. But it's neither very efficient nor suited for realtime. And having long (and descriptive) JSON messages, queues, ... is baked in per design.

And it's not even interesting to a Mastodon user if player x sold y latinum to player z. So for lots of game logic we don't need messages in a common format that's federated to Mastodon, Lemmy, Peertube etc.

I think a nice and not too complicated coding challenge would be to design a world that spans multiple servers. Players could roam a world, go through some door or portal and the client seamlessly connects to the next server. So that part of the world (the other server instance) is behind that portal. That'd make sense from an in-game perspective and won't be that hard to implement. Basically it's just like any other game, just that the client auto-connects to servers with some internal logic and not just in the start menu. And ideally authentication would be federated. The new server could ask the player's home instance to authenticate them on entering the new instance.

Clickbait!

Also the article mixes several distinct concepts that cannot be lumped together. The impending robot apocalypse like in the old scifi/action movies, ChatGPT, AGI and narrow AI that enables murder drones aren't the same thing. And if they are, I'd like to also add "algorithms" and recommendation systems making us more stupid and disuniting society.

I'm not saying it doen't need to be addressed, but the argumentation is just flawed.

There is one paragraph I completely agree with: »He's "worried about AI taking over mundane jobs." This would boost productivity, Hinton added, but the gains in wealth would disproportionately go to the wealthy [...]«

I'd say there is a 100% chance of this happening, unless someone steps in and regulates things. That's the one thing I find nice of Mark Zuckerberg (and a few others), that he gives state of the art language models to the people and enables them to take part in AI at all. Other than that, it's a game that is entirely directed and controlled by the rich and large tech companies. And we shouldn't rely on them (or Mark Zuckerberg) shaping our future.

Na ich glaube schon, dass es damals etwas übersichtlicher war als man noch seine Überweisungen bei der Sparkasse eingeworfen hat. Aber ja, Abzocke ist kein Phänomen der Digitalisierung. Sie findet in beiden Welten statt. Ich denke nur dank Technik sind da noch ein paar weitere Geschäftsmodelle dazugekommen. Aber das Rentner früher an der Haustür oder am Telefon abgezockt wurden, habe ich ja auch gesagt.

Das ist wirklich mies. Und gibt es leider viel zu oft. Hausierer und Drückerkolonnen die den Omis/Opis Verträge andrehen, Firmen die alle Festnetztelefone anrufen und die Leute abzocken, Fake Microsoft Anrufe, AstroTV, und da heutzutage alles eine App und Internet braucht kann man überhaupt nichts mehr ohne das Risiko einzugehen irgendwo abgezockt zu werden wenn man ein bisschen tüddelig ist aber irgendwie noch selbstständig sein Leben bestreiten möchte. Ich meine man kann ja eigentlich gar keinen Fernsehen mehr gucken. Heutzutage funktioniert der schicke Samsung Fernseher ja kaum noch ohne sich dort ein Konto anzulegen. Und dann sind direkt überall alle Kacheln gemischt und wenn man nicht super fit ist ist es recht unmöglich festzustellen ob man grad fern sieht oder sich bei SamsungTV+ oder sonstwo einen Film kauft/ausleiht/ein Streaming-Abo abschließt. Ich find das alles ziemlich doof. AstroTV und Co natürlich ganz vorne dabei weil sie ja nicht mal einen sinnvollen Dienst anbieten für den sie das Geld abkassieren, außer 2min mit jemandem quatschen.

Ich find's eh blöd seitdem man die Anrufer / Abgezockten nicht mehr hören kann. Vielleicht geht das rechtlich ja in einem Internetstream wieder. Naja. Man kann auch die Bernd das Brot Nachtschleife gucken, wenn man Nachts nicht schlafen kann.

Idk. Regulating how many pedestrians and bicyclists the autonomous cars are allowed to run over in a year seems to be a good idea to me. Depends a bit on what kind of law they come up with. And if they mean copyright is a burden to OpenAI... Then I want in on it, too. You should allow pirating eBooks and Marvel movies and Scarlett Johanssons voices to everyone, not just big tech companies.

Sure. Kelvin is the proper scale. Celsius is just water from freezing to boiling at some atmospheric pressure divided into 100 units. Not because there's anything absolute to it, but because water is kind of important in our lives.

That video is geo-restricted and I can't watch it.
