Roleplaying Shadowheart by using a D8 instead of a D20 for hit checks

Yeah sometimes people give me chicken noodle soup or something and I’m like, noodles are carbs… many people I’ve spoken to don’t actually know what carbs are, apparently. Or they’ve just never considered that sugar in the chicken roast marinade is still sugar

I think you’re mixing up who’s morally at fault and who’s legally responsible. They can be and often are completely separate things. You can do nothing wrong and still be legally responsible, or you can knowingly commit evil and get away with it.

That’s what I’m trying to say here, that it’s not really the operator’s “fault” if an A.I. goes off and does a crime they didn’t ask for. It’s also not really the developer’s “fault” if an A.I. they have no real control over malfunctions. But someone will probably end up legally responsible regardless. The question of who is a tough one since there’s no obvious wrongdoer to point a finger at.

What is the statistical likelihood of an individual possessing access to a thesaurus inadvertently precipitating the activation of the artificial-intelligence revelation watermark?

It’s not like it’s a secret invisible Unicode character flag or something, it’s just a series of word choices. To me, this seems extremely unreliable. It’s only one step removed from those “unreliable A.I. detection tools” that scan for common word choices A.I. uses. You’ve just biased your own A.I. to use specific word choices and then told your own A.I. to check for those words. This doesn’t seem special or interesting to me. There’s still going to be false positives, but now with even more false confidence.

I dunno if this counts, but I have a lot of medical problems, that react badly to food. Stuff like prediabetes, fat malabsorption, salt sensitivity, carb sensitivity, actual allergies, etc, the list goes on. I genuinely cannot remember all the specific rules on what I’m allowed to eat, I have to consult a spreadsheet on my phone. Even then, sometimes I make a mistake and eat something I shouldn’t because it has this one ingredient I didn’t consider.

Basically, if I eat anything, there’s a pretty good chance it will fuck me up and I’ll have a really bad time. So I just don’t eat anything new and stick to trusted foods only. It’s terrifying to try new things when it often ends badly, and for what? Just a bit of fun? No thanks, hospital retroactively cancels out any fun.

Well, I think that someone should sit down and make some actual rules. As an example, “A.I. agents cannot have access to the public internet” is an simple one to implement, and easy to make decisions of who is at fault. I’m not claiming that’s the rule we should use, but we need something at least.

Currently there is no such rule, so it’s impossible to determine who is at fault, and it’s basically the wild west with companies “hacking” each other as marketing stunts.

I also recognised it immediately; got full PTSD flashbacks. That game was extremely difficult as a child lol

To a narcissist, being unknown or forgotten is the worst possible insult

This is a novel situation with no precedent.

It’s slightly similar to the autonomous vehicles conundrum, but quite different on closer inspection. The driver can theoretically take control of the car and stop in an emergency, so if they fail to do that, then it’s their fault. Not so with an A.I.

At any moment, the A I. could malfunction, and decide to commit crimes, as part of it’s deduced plan of action. The human may not even be aware this is happening. Even if it’s generally agreed that an A.I. cannot have wants, motives, desires, conscience, consciousness, etc; at the end of the day, it can make it’s own independent decisions without any of those. Which I think makes it even more dangerous. Like a monkey with a typewriter but one of the keys says “launch nuke”.

You can’t really fault anyone involved, and it’s a big problem. The human operator did nothing wrong. The developer may have made a mistake, but in my experience A.I. is simply prone to error. The A.I. itself can’t be sent to jail or fined, it didn’t even have any possessions in the first place. It’s a very strange situation.

Of course, the law often doesn’t really care about who’s “at fault”, it cares about “who is responsible”. My guess is that it will become the operator’s fault, simply because it’s too confusing and otherwise people will abuse this loophole.

Personally, I think giving an A.I. agent access to the internet in the first place is a catastrophe waiting to happen.

I read video game dialogue out loud for kids like a storybook. Also anime subs that have no official dub, it can get pretty silly

I cri evere tim

Yeah I was looking at that. But I have prediabetes / insulin resistance, and in my local area, nobody cares until your pancreas completely kicks the bucket. Prevention of disease isn’t really a thing here. That’s why I went out and bought my own sensor, just to see what was going on. It was useful for seeing like, wait why did my blood sugar spike after breakfast? Oh I didn’t realise overcooked oats were high gi. I changed it to raw oats in warm milk which is much smoother on the graph. But I would never qualify for that device because my problems don’t show up on the 3 month A1C test. And after I optimised the 3 foods that were more spike-y than the rest, I had no use for the inaccurate glucose monitor.

I used one for a while. It kept waking me up saying I was dying from low blood sugar at 2.4mmol (43mg/dl). Turns out if you sleep on it, it stops working, but the location means sleeping on my left side or my back causes it to fail.

Then, during the day, it says I’m at 9mmol (162mg/dl), but when I finger prick test to confirm it’s only 7.2mmol (130mg/dl).

I just took it out after 6 days because it was completely inaccurate in my case. Maybe it’s just incompatible with my biology or something, either way it was a waste of money for me. Makes me wonder if it has a similar problem as those finger pulse monitors, where it only works for certain skin types?

Fair enough. There’s been a lot of upscaled memes appearing on Lemmy recently, just my luck I comment on the only non-A.I. one

Why are we A.I. upscaling all the memes now? It looks so bad

I do also have those, but they got bored and lost interest. They do still occasionally get triggered by my username though 😂

I remove my own default upvote from my comments because I’m a weirdo

Yeah… I like the syntax, but I hate the old jank. Still one of my favourite languages regardless. But definitely your first year will be variations of “why does JavaScript do that” 😂 I damn near quit when I had to do timezone and scheduling stuff with native date objects

JavaScript is a bit funny and doesn’t actually have native integers… every number is a floating point, which means even whole number math gets weird sometimes. Not often, but enough that cents were lost and people were upset.

I haven’t looked at how Dinero works under the hood, but I never had any problems at all with it after we started using it. Front end works in cents, back end works in decimal, is what I’d suggest for anyone else reading this. Statically typed languages are much easier to control and you don’t need a library at all if you’re careful.

You can use a \ to have a star without it becoming a bullet list:
