I think just the people need to held accountable as while I am no fan of Meta, it is not their responsibility to hold people legally accountable to what they choose to post. What we really need is zero knowledge proof tech to identity a person is real without having to share their personal information but that breaks Meta’s and other free business model so here we are.
I really have not found AI to be useless for coding. I have found it extremely useful and it has saved me hundreds of hours. It is not without its faults or frustrations, but the it really is a tool I would not want to be without.
This has not been my experience at all. I have a top rated VR app and use AI to code everything and change things all the time. It is not hard to understand the code and then prompt the AI to change this or that and then test to see if it got it right. If it did not, just prompt again to address. Maybe this does not work for the author or others, but it has saved my hundreds of hours in my small app.
I am not sure it is really about Capitalism but the broader human Centralization whatever its political or economic system. We Centralize and someone has to be at the top as that is our nature and those at the top exploit as power corrupts. This is wired into us a species and it has brought us a long way for better and for worse.
This is male centric as the female’s I know in the spectrum have different interests generally speaking.
I think users finding out is a window rapidly closing as AI get so good that it is not possible to tell it is AI.
What % of AI used is too much for you?
Right. I forgot about that. What a despicable company. It is almost like to be successful, you have to play dirty but I am not so sure it is Sony’s fault per se as if they don’t their competitors will, which will always ensure the dirty players win. It is a systemic failure of society that we have allowed unchecked Capitalism which ironically will eventually suck the oxygen out of the room to even its own detriment.
Capitals just one of the many forms of centralization which is a core quality of the human condition. We centralize in groups and it gives us an advantage over any one individual.
It is a fools errand and I do not understand why the smart people at Valve do not understand this. First…it relies on the developer to add the tag. Second the developer may not even know an asset they bought used AI in its creation. Most AI researchers agree that it will become near impossible to determine if an asset was generated with AI, and even using AI to detect will just mean when it does detect, it now knows how to create one that cannot be detected and we end up in a cat and mouse race that humans have no ability to play in.
We already have tools to rank titles and if it is AI slop, a low effort copycat game, the ratings will reflect this regardless of the tech that may or may not have been used.
I would hazard to guess that are countless titles that used some AI in its development, perhaps unbeknownst to the developer. Plus, what if a developer made everything from scratch themselves but used AI on one texture to upscale it…does this get an AI label even though it amounts to something like 0.00001% do the title? AI labels are a fools errand and we all need to just rely on the rating system and judge titles on their merits not the tools that made them as like I said, it will become into know AI was used.
Sony is really anti consumer. I went to buy one of their PC games the other day, but it is not available in the country I am presently in right now along with a few other developing counties when I looked into it. So if you want the title, your only option is Torrent it and such which I am sure is common here.
Feeling more and more like he engagement at any cost age.
That is what I am saying though. Scaling up data Centers for AI does not matter. Not saying AI does not matter, that scaling up LLMs does not matter. Seems to fit but we can disagree
I see zero evidence that logic has a path to being solved or even just improved from the train wreck logic LLMs currently have as scaling up did not have the impact the investments anticipated. Yes, most other AI metrics really did improve with scale, but not logic as is obvious to anyone using AI for heavy mental lifting like codin. I call this the Cognitive Gap and despite the effort, it is clear no AI company has any advantage here. Certainly not OpenAI based on their behaviour alone nor anyone else as the first to crack it, will have a massive advantage and will likely see the birth of AGI and the elusive self improvement takeoff. Clearly no one is there today.
John Carmack said a few years ago on the Lex Fridman YouTube video titled “The code for AGI will be simple”
“It seems to me this is the highest leverage moment for a single individual potentially in the history of the world … I am not a madman in saying that the code for artificial General intelligence is going to be tens of thousands of lines of code, not millions of lines of code. This is code that conceivably one individual could write, unlike writing a new web browser or operating system.”
This deeply resonated with me as it is likely true. In fact I am sure many in IT can relate as anyone working on large IT systems likely have a story that goes like this. Performance of a new Enterprise system that was developed in-house will require millions of dollars of compute to meet the SLA performance metrics which is well above the original budget. As hardware was being begrudgingly acquired a smart developer (usually 1 person) realized there was a better way to code a key component and it gained 100x in performance making the need for all that extra millions in hardware null and void. This did not happen to me once, but many times over my 30 year IT career. You can brute force, but you can also find elegant solutions.
In my firm opinion there is a strong possibility that John is right and if this comes to pass, it will suddenly mean that AGI is much more efficient than the data centres we have built for it, thus making those investments pointless.
Of course it may not roll that way and instead we realize it is big code and big data Centers needed and one company or country ends up Dominating all, but my money is on an individual discovering and then making it open source and decentralized and you should hope for this too as the alternative is ugly for all. Centralization = Corruption and Exploitation.

Agreed
I read a stat that if the true costs of AI was past onto users it would 42 times more expensive or something along those lines. Who know the right number, but it is obviously out of alignment with the value AI is able to bring today. Imagine instead of $20 / month it was $840 / month to just break even.
Continuing to invest and scale up AI Data Centres without a clear path on how to improve LLMs logic is a fool’s errand.

I am for sure not a coder as it has never been my strong suite, but I am without a doubt an awesome developer or I would not have a top rated multiplayer VR app that is pushing the boundaries of what mobile VR can do.
The only person who will have to look at my code is me so any and all issues be it my code or AI code will be my burden and AI has really made that burden much less. In fact, I recently installed Coplay in my Unity Engine Editor and OMG it is amazing at assisting not just with code, but even finding little issues with scene setup, shaders, animations and more. I am really blown away with it. It has allowed me to spend even less time on the code and more time imagineering amazing experiences which is what fans of the app care about the most. They couldn’t care less if I wrote the code or AI did as long as it works and does not break immersion. Is that not what it is all about at the end of the day?
As long as AI helps you achieve your goals and your goals are grounded, including maintainability, I see no issues. Yeah, misdirected use of AI can lead to hard to maintain code down the line, but that is why you need a human developer in the loop to ensure the overall architecture and design make sense. Any code base can become hard to maintain if not thought through be is human or AI written.
