even https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flock_Safety#Controversies is a good start

while it's an arbitrary line ive drawn, basic siri doesn't feel like "ai" in the same sense as context-aware assistants do for me.

but i never stopped playing entirely. in those 30-60 minutes where my wife would watch her weekly show, i would pick up where i left off in a game. i find most games today are pretty well-designed around being able to play in spurts, even if the game is long + deep.

for longer story games, though, i usually keep a notebook beside me to jot down some context to help me pick it back up if i know it will be a while (mainly because my memory isn't what it used to be).

the launch was beyond super crappy, and "turned it around" is underselling it.

"the engoodening of no mans sky" was a youtube video that came out ~5 years ago and covers the story of the launch up until the point the video was made. since then they've had several more really amazing (and compeltely free) updates.

you say this as if it is a law of nature, but into my 60s, i still quite enjoy relaxing with a good game. no mans sky is one of them!

not to mention that any business which could potentially lose enough money that they would need to let go of developers from a github outage should probably already have some business continuity plans in place.

github enterprise is fully operational at the moment

the comment doesnt say you should be "fine" with the unreliability.

they are saying people shouldnt get so emotionally worked up over it. which, while i wouldn't phrase it in the way the parent did, i agree with the direction of their point.

and there can be several motivations for it (e.g. downvoting a competition's posts, someone upset with how much pro-ai stuff there is on their favorite subreddit, etc.)

anti-ai posts get downvoted by pro-ai people/bots. pro-ai posts get downvoted by anti-ai people/bots. (i suspect one of these teams has more bots than the other, but that's just a guess). in any case, the world keeps spinning.

i know nothing about this specific person, but the typical rule is that if it has already reached the general news cycle, you are too late.

news sites are the worst for this. bloomberg, nbc, etc. have 20+ domains, and as you click "temporarily allow" on one, it loads in a few more.

foxnews loads 36 domains before temporarily allowing any, which probably approaches 50 once you start allowing.

why?

this particular leak is pretty mundane information for a relatively low number of people. its not even the biggest leak out of france this year.

my real-world experience supports what i said.

>Well, even movie tropes often show,

if you are going to rely on what you've seen in movies as your evidence, i think this conversation is already over.

presumably so that if you start shouting about the heart attack you are having, that you dont need to wait until the end of the prerecorded message to get routed to a human operator

im not sure if you've ever been in a panic-filled emergency situation and had to dial 911, but the easier and more adaptable you can make it, the better. requiring button pushes, or anything else other than voice, should be avoided if possible.

this comes across as one of the best possible use cases of ai to me: only used in strict circumstances when human operators are busy, with the goal of deduping calls and reducing 911 queues.

and its been working really well, from the looks of it, for 3 years now
