If you're like me and trying to get into Warhammer 40k, and you like games like Baldur's Gate 3, I really recommend Rogue Trader. It's got a very Mass Effect-like structure and shows a wide range of the 40k factions. It's on heavy Steam sale. store.steampowered.com/app/2186680/...

feels like there is a group of smart and well-intentioned people who long ago made up their minds that AI Is Bad, swore off using it, and now get all their info about AI from each other. not saying they're wrong that ai is bad! but i think they're gradually losing touch with what it is and does
I really wasn’t trying to start a fight with Prof. Bender but now that she has created a long thread subtweeting me and her disciples are all yelling at me, let me just say that this is the crux right here. She seems to respond as though I am describing something a priori impossible.

One of my favorite things throughout the coming out process has been people telling me "oh yeah, that makes sense" or what my tells were. I did leave smoking guns. A couple of y'all have done that and it is very fun for me!

Being in a tech union rules, we work four day weeks and have protections against redundancies created by AI usage and other stuff. And you can just.. organize and make one at your workplace. aflcio.org/formaunion/4...

YES

you're "cognitively offloading" when you have the maps apps do turn-by-turn GPS navigation for you

you're "cognitively offloading" when you do division on a calculator instead of doing long division by hand

etc. etc.

there's nothing inherently wrong with it, people are just weird about AI
'you're cognitively offloading'. yes. correct. that is what i wish to do. i do not wish to expend cognition figuring out which pharmacist takes my insurance and is closest. i want to offload it & be told who that is. you are free to continue manually doing this task you evidently find so meaningful

Trying to not have sour grapes over not getting a Steam Frame, but as an early adopter on other Valve hardware, it does seem like they dropped the ball. Setting aside the memory crisis, they clearly announced it WAY before it was ready to ship, and made some very odd decisions for such a device.
