Google is auto-opting us into letting them not only save, but train AI on *any media* uploaded during *any* search interaction, including regular Search, Maps, Lens, Translate, Shopping, Flights, etc. Turn off "Search Services History", and delete *all your past data* (reason in thread below).

Your media is saved when Search Services History is on: Saved media includes your images, files, audio and video from your interactions with Search services to help improve your experience. For example, this lets you revisit your past visual searches with Lens or continue a Search Live conversation about a song you heard. To support these types of interactive product experiences, Google will now save your media to your Search Services History, applying robust privacy and security protections. Like your Search Services History, your saved media is also used to develop and improve Google services and technologies, including AI models and safety measures.

Doctors 25% more likely to miss a diagnosis on a patient within 3 months after Ai is implemented. The results indicate Ai has an immediate negative effect on professionals skillsets vs prolonged reliance. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Is AI ruining our skills? Early results are in — and they’re not good

Reliance on artificial-intelligence tools degrades the abilities of physicians and software engineers, studies show.

The Godot LLM stuff feels like it's going to put a lot of users in very awkward situations with their principles and stated beliefs, myself included. Maybe I'm in a bubble but gamedev feels pretty tight knit and the overwhelming majority of competent creators seem to be against LLM usage.

Godot needs a stricter anti-AI policy, no excuses. You don't think that garbage is an ethical nightmare and is making the world objectively worse? I hope you will come around b4 it is too late. But until then, at least be smart enough to see it as the right public relations move. #Godot #Indiedev

*dusting off account* Happy pride! I am finishing up on some lovely contract work next month and can go back to focusing on Shrouded Suns. Slo-phase in production went mostly into writing and it made the story more weird, so for the story trailer, I will be aiming for a reaction akin to "wåt?".

No need for shitty AI to make me unable to understand my codebase one year down the line! I can do that all by myself, with my baseless self-confidence, about being able to understand that 400-line-long class I wrote in the middle of the night, with the only comment being "TODO: lmao, FIX". #gamedev

Just add that feature you've been thinking about. It's not scope creep, you wanted to add it from the beginning anyway. Don't worry about the roadmap, everyone does this all the time. It won't hurt.

I added implemented FLAK turrets and replaced 12 of the Carrier's CIWS with them. Did that improve the balancing? Nah. But hear me out: I rewatched all of Battlestar Galactica (2004) over Christmas. That's it. store.steampowered.com/app/4060820/... #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #godot #spacegame

It helps my motivation so much to have the pipelines in place to get even half-done versions of ships into the game and see them going to town on other ships. Or, in the case of the carrier, just annihilate 1km³ of space with 28 CIWS. TODO: balancing. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #godot #spacegame

"We lost 3 engines, but we still have 17 more." End of last year was crazy. Now working on the base carrier and it turned out to be 802 m long. I only have two hands and I have never been happier to not have gone photo-realistic, because this would kill me XD #indiedev #gamedev #blender #spacegame

these kinds of videos always prompt a certain Pratchett quote in my brain, from Thief of Time

One of Igor's former masters had made a ticktock man, all levers and gearwheels and cranks and clockwork. Instead of a brain, it had a long tape punched with holes. Instead of a heart, it had a big spring. Provided everything in the kitchen was very carefully positioned, the thing could sweep the floor and make a passable cup of tea. If it wasn't carefully positioned, or if the ticking, clicking thing hit an unexpected bump, then it'd strip the plaster off the walls and make a furious cup of cat.

I’m steadily forming a unifying theory that ultimately, this is what LLMs are accelerating: everyone has access to sycophantic virtual yes men at minimal (for now) cost and that’s having exactly the same effect on the 99% as it always has had on the 1%
