Here is a way of describing what I see as ‘the problem’:

An LLM cannot forget things in its base training data set.

Its permanent memory… is totally permanent.

And this memory has a bunch of wrong ideas, a bunch of nonsensical associations, a bunch of false facts, a bunch of meaningless gibberish.

It has no way of evaluating its own knowledge set for consistency, coherence, and stability.

It literally cannot learn and grow, because it cannot realize why it made mistakes, it cannot discard or ammend in a permanent way, concepts that are incoherent, faulty ways of reasoning (associating) things.

Seriously, ask an LLM a trick question, then tell it it was wrong, explain the correct answer, then ask it to determine why it was wrong.

Then give it another similar category of trick question, but that is specifically different, repeat.

The closer you try to get it toward reworking a fundamental axiom it holds to that is flawed, the closer it gets to responding in totally paradoxical, illogical gibberish, or just stuck in some kind of repetetive loop.

… Learning is a much building new ideas and experiences, as it is reevaluating your old ideas and experiences, and discarding concepts that are wrong or insufficient.

Biological brains have neuroplasticity.

So far, silicon ones do not.

It eats.

It is thus the primordial consumer.

… kinda does bare a resemblance to what AM turns Ted into…

Tim Sweeney is…

…the Tiger King.

Season 3 coming to a Black Mirror near you!

ding ding ding!

No, more like the data crunching algorithms that ingest and evaluate the resumes will fine tune down to determining some kind of pattern or set of patterns, which describes what skill sets Epic apparently no longer needs.

Then, that data will be sold to some business intelligence / market strategy development consultant, who will then adjust their advice that they give to other tech clients.

Sweeney also fully knows this is what will happen.

Because he has similar consultants or perhaps an inhouse team, going over the same kind of data, that told him to let all these people go.

None of these C suite types actually do any advanced, in depth, strategic planning.

They have the BI guys write those up for them, like how the military has a set of potential war plans to be followed or activated when some set of cinditions are triggered, or a General decides its time to do it, or w/e.

The C suite folk, they’re literally just a big social club, all they do is collude with or against other C suites.

Like… that’s how this actually works.

It would be immensely easier and generate huge savings for big firms to automate their C suites, not the actual specialists or team leads with deep systemic and specific knowledge.

They’re the most expensive employees, by far, and they are the most likely to act irrationally, with outsized negative impacts on the whole business.

… But thats not the point.

The point… is to pamper the C suite people’s egos and wallets.

Yep.

That is the actual ultimate end goal.

Its a rigid class system, with an incompetent and haughty nobility… that just kind of pretends to not be that.

Techno-feudalism.

Its less an emulator, and more a translation layer.

Emulation is when you essentially construct a virtual representation of the target hardware, and map the virtual hardware to real hardware, and then you can run code made for the emulated, target hardware, on the real hardware.

A translation layer does not involve emulating a specific target hardware configuration.

WINE -> Wine Is Not (an) Emulator

Proton is basically… a massive expansion pack, for WINE.

Proton translates Windows x86-64 calls into Linux x86-64 calls.

FEX translates Linux x86-64 calls into Linux ARM calls.

The point is actually to be able to run Linux x86-64 on ARM, not the other way around.

But, as a consequence of developing a comprehensive ARM <-> x86-64 translation layer, that does mean that it will be easier to port APKs, Android libraries, or in some instances just run APKs, on x86-64.

EDIT: Fucking derp.

FEX is an emulator, because it is mapping to another hardware architecture.

Its also so that some games and/or parts of games can just run entirely on the Steam Frame Headset.

Basically, ARM (mobile) physical hardware is more compact, less energy intensive, and heat causing, than traditional x86-64.

So, they built the hardware of the headset, the Steam Frame, as… essentially, an extremely overbuilt smartphone, because they wanted you to be able to go cordless, un tethered, with decent battery life, as compared to their last headset, the Index, which has to be corded in to both data and power at all times.

So, there are various rendering and other game processes that just run locally on the Steam Frame, via ARM hardware, where for a chonkier game, the core game processes are running on the Steam Machine, and the two share a highspeed, local, wireless datalink.

To get all that to work, well, linux x86-64 instructions need to be interpretable on ARM, thus, make a new translation layer, FEX.

That this means some APKs in their entirety should now just generally be able to run on a Steam Frame, solo… is essentially a side effect.

Not trying to ‘correct’ you, just trying to add more context.

… A prominent cultural meme that is widely adopted… literally is a natural evolution of language.

This is the extremely common and normal method by which languages change over time, which, with the exception of conlangs, they all do.

Go back to 1950 and tell an American English speaker that a song ‘is fire’. Tell them that Elvis is just aura farming. Tell them that their fit is lacking.

They will be confused.

Take an American English speaker from 1950 to the present, and they tell you somebody made a boner at the lollapalooza they were last at.

You probably will not understand that to mean that somebody made a moderately significant mistake at a raccous party, like spilling their drink on the host, or bringing the wrong side dish.

The machine would not make a mistake!

I think basically one is pretty much… just ginger ale flavor, and the other has more citrus flavoring as well.

Or, there are just two different buttons/labels for Canada Dry, from different… marketing epochs.

I think the Canada Dry that I’m thinking of, thats just ginger ale, is like a bronze colored can, and the ‘+citrus’ one is green … ?

… it actually happened.

Microsoft:

Fully automating supply chain attacks since (at least) 2026.

Why, says the human.

… who was playing Twister, the other day.

I mean, I am autistic, and I think this is funny and generally accurate enough to not be offensive.

Autists are very often all about creating and enforcing consistent, specific patterns.

A stance is a pattern.

I myself have been bored, and tried to do things like this, invent pose rules for myself, see the extent that I can succrssfully apply them.

Also, there are a lot more things cats will do, or traits they have, that are also broadly accurately common amongst autists.

Such as being very sensitive to light level changes.

They can literally see into the UV spectrum, so that kind of mirrors how autists often notice visual patterns that others don’t.

They also tend to be hyperaware of even the most minute changes to their ‘home’ environments… autists tend to be that way too.

lol cats are also… rather comparitively bad at socializing, unless its with someone they know and trust quite well, or have been very well raised around well-behaved people and/or other animals.

Here in my car

I feel safest of all

Yep, a town crier like role.

Hell even in the American West, people would gather round for someone actually literate to read the latest newspaper.

“And they say, ‘whoah, ain’t you glad you’re single~!’…”

…

…

Boone?

… oh. fuck. right.

… ‘Bansky goes to Space’ …

That would make for quite a story.

Its funny looking back.

I thought it was hilarious.

… A fair number of people I knew thought that me thinking that was callous, which baffled me.

… Then those same people started trying to explain to me that I should stop ‘overusing’ the term fascist.

… Same people who… liked The Boys, untill it became ‘too political.’

At that point, I realized the table I was sitting at, and excused myself before making the wrong hand gesture to indicate ‘three’.

Anyway, last I heard, yep, they’re all fascists, and wouldn’t you know it — !

At least a couple of them were grooming kids and trading CP and such, and/or were still associating with people who they knew were doing that.

Word to wise: Avoid the game ‘The Isle’ and anyone who has ever been connected to it.

Yeah, there is no denying that NiN and industrial in general was… running through the blood of the late 90s / early 00s FPS pioneers.

Heck, not even just FPS:

Frank ‘Motherfucking’ Klepacki.

… who the fuck comes up with both Hell March… and IndustroFunk?

He just like invented a subgenre, as a song.
