Exact, and I believe most forms of power incentives bad actions and the worse individual to take it.

Wich would entail it comes from our nature, dictating the properties of power.

Good actions done by CEOs or the ones being loyal seems to me is coming from another facet of us.

When people are not brain dead by media, both in the US and EU we know all of our problems comes from our own government and fat CEOs.

Foreigners are just one of the many scapegoats they put the blame on.

What it reminds me of is Greeks and then Romans calling them barbarian, from barbar meaning foreigners. This isn't new...

The problem always was power and the unfit nature of human beings to possess it.

Interesting, well I do have a lot to read on the subject but i'll add it to my list, I might be pleasantly surprised.

That's a very detailed explanation, as a scientist as much as I knew about him I didn't know that much.

Although I do wonder why it would matter.

I mean by that, although a great scientist, politics is not is area of expertise. So I wouldn't put that much importance in his opinions.

Not that you can't be curious, but valuing it for his fame is a known bias we should avoid.

It's especially true for intelligence. We tend to put it on a pedestal like it's what made Einstein, or anyone, be successful. When it's only a part.

I'd say intelligence is like a good soil, there is still so much labor to make it into food. Einstein did the work in physics but on any other matter your still just eating dirt.

Maybe I should say I'm not in the US. Media literacy isn't brand new to me. But the CFR was completely foreign (pun intended), there isn't quite anything like it where I live.

Although the propaganda model of Herman and Chromsky quoted in your link is very much a mirror of our media too. (Most notably in our television network, own by a single group)

If I understood properly that was the point of your sarcastic comment on the CFR right?

I'm out of the loop what's the council for and why would they want people to think that? What's in it for them?

Just a joke on what makes a piano, i suppose the pun is intended but Peano's axiom are famous mathematical axioms.

Labour theory of value puts value on goods for the sole purpose of trading and explaining trades. Both LTV and STV does.

Marx's use of LVT is to criticize how Capitalism leads to exploitation. But although the specifics differ SVT could still be used to raise the same critiques.

Dialectic can never be a science, you can't apply the same methodology. Even when it's material.

However it is philosophy, and if your searching for some material reality then it's ontology.

Science too is a product of ontology, it's a methodology created for this exact purpose and wich can be studied in this field.

Saying physical properties are social abstractions sounds to me like social constructivism, which is epistemology, again philosophy.

Social sciences can be soft science precisely when they are not dialectic and rely on the methodology of science.

And to be clear, soft science is just a science that is based on a hard science, in which we don't have enough work done to explain every emergent properties using fundamental properties of matter.

Psychoanalysis is an outdated philosophical theory, so indeed just a scam now.

Plenty of games has that problem without IA. And i'm guessing we aren't gonna restrict ourselves to hardware, the majority of games already doesn't care to take a lot of space and graphic processing.

That said NPCs in a game doing various actions using the simplest language model has been done quite some time ago. But it wasn't actually used more than as a novelty. Maybe later idk.

For dialogue i agree that it takes to much time to respond, at least for now. But i think it doesn't really has to be done in real time, it can just be created beforehand.

And that's true in general, we probably are restricted to use it in the creation process now.

What's probably the most useful would be on asset generation, since that's one of the most time consuming part in game dev.

I'd guess especially for all the random generated games that would be amazing too at some point.

Recently for example we've seen ai be able to create very good looking videos. And the technics they use for image consistency includes thinking about the object as 3d ones.

For now though it's mostly used for interpolation, creating images between two existing ones to get more fps and fluid movement, pretty effective.

Another one i've also seen it used is for lighting, the process being pretty calculation heavy it can really help. That's mostly useful for the prebaked light that's created once and then stored. But i think it will be very useful for dynamic lighting one day, i feel it's not that far either.

Yeah, the net is really a good way to learn about IT and most things related, the amount of good sources makes it really easy to just self-teach.

I often found it easier than to rely on finding a good teacher. Some lectures or materials from prestigious schools are even online.

Your right the future seems to hold some golden technology still. I'm really waiting to see how AI will be implemented in games for example.

I think it did change me yes, it made me grow in a way i wouldn't otherwise. Helped me with my emotions and empathy in a way i wouldn't have found around me.

And that's the thing, making communication or information easier to get also forces you into discovery. Laziness, at least in that regard, is well anchored in our nature too. I could have learn though books or teachers, but there's plenty i'm pretty sure i wouldn't have.

An ironic example is programming, if i only had the programming course i've had in the first year of college i probably wouldn't have learned much, it was boring as hell. But i learned programming by myself the summer before, with a c++ tutorial and the intent on creating 2d games. And that was extremely fun for me, to the point i took more courses on the topic later on for my own studies in maths.

Yeah i really can't bring myself to understand what it was like back when drive where 10mb or less. Any software now is so much bigger it's crazy. Latest thing i remember is downloading film with torrent and how slow that was. I'm pretty sure my 4G is faster almost in the same order of magnitude.
