    I think Detroit: Become Human was the first game I ever platinum-ed. I was really looking forward to playing it when it was announced, even more so knowing that it was being developed by the creators of Heavy Rain. But Detroit: Become Human seems even better to me in many ways.

    One of the things I liked the most was the setting. A fictional Detroit going through a serious economic crisis due to the monopoly of Cyberlife, the company that manufactures the androids. The city is full of interesting details, such as electronic magazines, which put you in context about what is happening outside Detroit. The characters are very well written, and I myself at least became very invested in most of them (Hank, for example). The character modeling, subplots and use of narrative are also great.

    One of the drawbacks is that in some outcomes, you are severely punished for resorting to violence (even if it’s justified). And trust me, when you play this, you will know what I’m talking about. These are the kind of decisions that leave you with a bad taste in your mouth if you make the “wrong” choice.

    Despite this, it’s a great game IMO :)

    But over time I started recognizing a lot of the same usernames, and it really just hit me that you guys are some of the most empathetic and loving people I’ve come across on the internet […]

    Totally agree. I’ve been on Lemmygrad since before GenZedong was quarantined on Reddit. There were only a few of us, but I could immediately recognize a few other users when I made posts. Almost every conversation has been great here. It’s something I didn’t notice on any other centralized social network. And the fact that this community feels like an authentic community is also incredible.

    This might be a super sappy post, but you know what, I don’t care. Making the switch from Reddit to lemmygrad was the best social media decision I ever made […]

    While this may be a “sappy” post, I think these posts are necessary for people who use Lemmygrad to understand that it has an impact on the lives of other comrades. Many people come to this community for advice or just to vent. It’s something that would be impossible on Reddit because of the toxic nature and dark patterns that hide all the most successful social networks to succeed.

    What’s more, any countries that try to put brakes on AI development will quickly find themselves at a disadvantage from countries that don’t. For this reason alone, AI will be seen as a national security concern by all major nations

    In fact, we have seen that Americans are becoming increasingly fearful of AIs, in contrast to the Chinese, who generally trust AIs. This could be due to who has control over AIs. In the US, citizens are thinking about the most dystopian version of a large-scale implementation of these intelligence models because they know that the government will use it to further repress the working class. In China, government regulation of AIs generates trust because they trust the government. But as I mentioned in another comment, an open source AI for the whole population would be useless if such code is governed by a libertarian license like MIT/Apache 2.0, because of how easy it would be for the ruling class to appropriate this work to privatize and improve it to such an extent that the original code could not be measured against it.

    This would allow for unprecedented level of economic planning efficiency.

    Yes, in fact, isn’t that what the Chileans had in mind when they came up with Cybersyn? With the technological advances of our era, especially in the field of AI and so on, it would make sense to go back to this idea. China has the potential to implement it on a large scale in my opinion.

    Then the model is trained to interact with the physical world through reinforcement and this leads it to to create an internal representation of the world that’s similar to our own. This gives us a shared context that we can use to communicate with the model trained in this fashion. Such a model would have actual understanding of the physical world that’s similar to our own, and then we could teach it language based on this shared understanding.

    Regarding what you mention, I have a question (maybe it sounds stupid), but assuming that these AI learn and develop in a particular environment and become familiar with it in a similar way to humans, what would happen if these AI interact with something or someone outside that environment? That is, for example, if an AI develops in an English-speaking country (environment) and for some reason interacts with a Spanish-speaking person, the cultural peculiarities that the AI has learned in that environment are not applicable to this subject. Do you think it could give a false sense of closeness or technical limitation? idk if I’m making myself clear or if this is an absurd question 😅

    I fully agree. And not only that, I’m also intrigued to know what licence GeoHot would choose to launch such an open source AI. If he chose the more libertarian option, he would probably use the MIT license. If so, any powerful entity could take that AI as a base, lock down the code and build a malicious AI based on the open source AI. In the end, all efforts to “democratise” open source AI would be in vain.
