They’re not the same.

Hiding an unlocked treasure chest in the forest is obscurity. Sure, you might be the only one who knows it’s there at first but eventually someone might come across it.

Having a vault at a bank branch is security - everyone knows there’s a vault there, but you’ll be damned if you’re going to get into it when you’re not authorized.

Good passwords, when implemented correctly, use hashing (one way encryption) to provide security. It’s not obscured, people know you need a password to access the thing (in our example)

How did you do your wall penetration to get it back indoors to whatever switch you used?

Damn dawg, noice

There’s plenty if you want to go get it from the sun

Bruh you’re in mildly infuriating, you lost?

The expensive part is the outrageous costs of R+D that goes into drug discovery and trials, with the majority ending in failure. Not excusing the awful profiteering that goes into pharmaceuticals also, but the end product being cheap to produce isn’t the only cost that companies incur.

They are yes, as opposed to subjectively on varying levels of personal familiarity. You’d care far more about your spouse or mother dying than a random person in a different country you had no idea existed.

That doesn’t mean that a random person’s life has more intrinsic value than your mother’s, but TO YOU they will have less. Hence, lives are equal in a philosophical sense but pragmatically that’s not how the world works, ever, or we’d be in a constant state of unending grief at the loss of our fellow humans 24/7.

Yeah this whole comment chain is nonsense and I’m honestly flabbergasted that there’s so many up votes on such a terrible take.

I mean, philosophically all lives are equal.

But you value people you love, your family (I assume) more than your neighbors. And you care about what happens in your town more than in another city in your country, and you care more about your country than others…

USA had a pretty bad plane crash a couple months ago in Louisville; about a dozen people died. I care, it was a tragedy, but I guarantee you that the people in Louisville care a lot more than I do.

And it’s the same reason a nation will care more about its citizens vs the citizens of other nations. Kind of obtuse to pretend that’s not how people work, no?

I agree with you to a point, but you should read the full plaintiff’s court filing: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.461878/gov.uscourts.cand.461878.1.0.pdf

It’s crazy to see how a bot like this can throw an insane amount of gas onto the fire of someone’s delusions. You really should look at some of it so you can see the severity of the danger.

The risk is real, so yes although it’s just a piece of mindless software, the problem is that it hasn’t been designed with any guardrails to flag conversations like this, shut them down, redirect the user for help at all - and controls like those have been REPEATEDLY iterated out of the product for the sake of promoting “engagement.” OpenAI doesn’t want people to stop using their bots because the bot gives an answer someone doesn’t want to hear.

It’s 100% possible to bake in guardrails because all these bots have them for tons of stuff; the court doc points to copyrighted materials as an example: if a user requests anything leaning towards copyrighted materials, the chat shuts down. There’s plenty of things that will cause the bot to respond and say that they can’t continue a conversation about _________, but not for this? So OpenAI will protect against Disney’s interests but not basic protective measures for people with mental health issues?

They have scrooge mcduck vaults of gold coins to roll around in and can’t be assed to spend a bit of cash to bake some safety into this stuff?

I’m with you that it’s not going to be possible to prevent every mentally ill person from latching onto a chatbot, or anything, for that matter - but these things are especially dangerous for mentally ill people and so the designers need to at least TRY. Just throwing something out there like this without even making the attempt is negligence.

I’m also way more into sci fi than fantasy. But IMO, DF is a much, much better game. I’ve never looked for a mod that does what you’re looking for but I wouldn’t be surprised if it exists, at least for the texture packs. I think it would be pretty challenging to make a mod that redid all the generated flare (like when your dwarves carve stuff up and there’s RNG of the scene they carve) but not impossible. I never cared about any of that crap so I never read it anyways, but lots of people love it.

Sounds to me like you need better pans that don’t have paper thin ass bottoms

Someone already told you this, but I want to elaborate

Dwarf Fortress was essentially what Rimworld was cloned from. I’ve been downvoted into oblivion by rimworld fans for such heresy, but it’s true.

For the longest time DF has been free, disgustingly ugly, and getting updates for like 20 years (think you can still download freeware version, but there’s a steam version now you can pay for. I bought it because it’s been a gem for YEARS and devs more than deserve my $20 or whatever it was).

Rimworld took the DF game, made it sci fi, and made it not absolute dogshit to look at.

You could always mod DF with icon packs that made it look a lot better but it was still pretty ugly.

The steam version of DF looks much, much better but it’s not quite as pretty as Rimworld still, I think.

Either way, if you got any time out of Rimworld and want something similar, Dwarf Fortress is your best choice. They’re both great and are IMO the best in class of whatever genre you’d call it.

Just learn to photosynthesize like that guy obviously does

I think that’s pretty crazy that itten is taught in art schools of all places, except maybe as an example of how models have different strengths and weaknesses, to spark a deeper acknowledgement of the color space in general (as this conversation did for me).

The good news is that now there’s two of us. Cheers!

Sure, bad implementation is bad. Hardware, software - whether lazy, ignorant, malicious, negligent, whatever. It’s bad, and we agree on that.

My analogous argument is NOT that you should SUPPORT any vaccine no matter what, it is that you should not oppose ALL vaccines because they can be dangerous to some.

The original guy I replied to was like “it’s your civic duty to disable TPM” and went on an unhinged rant about how it’s about forcing AI integration or something. Completely ridiculous claims that show a completely ignorant and emotionally charged opinion that I equate to an anti vax type of line of reasoning.

Repeatedly I’ve criticized bad implementation of TPMs and specified that they’re effective only when used correctly.

Sounds like you and I agree on pretty much all points but you’re getting wrapped around the axle on an analogy that I made to highlight the absurdity of a different person’s statement, and then you’re straw manning it to boot.

The reality is that there’s a need for TPMs in systems these days as we get more and more reliant on devices to do literally everything for us, and bad actors find new ways to threaten the baskets we put all our eggs in. We should very much so criticize bad conduct and highlight what is bad, but not poison the well on the technology itself. That doesn’t help. The conversation has nuance and watering it down to “TPM bad because Microsoft” completely misses the mark.

Bro why is it any other way, ever.

I despise setting alarms. Why do I have to scroll? Fucking let me type in the time on a numpad.

I have like 50 alarms that are 15 minutes apart and I toggle them on and off as needed.

It’s a fucking mess, bro. Fuck.
