I’m not a judge, but isn’t internet essentially a utility these days? Cutting someone off because of piracy seems like cutting off electricity or water because they did something illegal with it.

Chess has taken over a significant portion of my gaming time since getting into it a couple of years ago.

It’s a beautifully deep game, and it’s refreshing to be able to pour time into something with staying power that people of every age play all over the world.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Play the bread crumbs gambit. Works every time.

I honestly don’t know. It’s going to be a big problem. LLMs are capable of having this exact convo we’re having without giving away the game.

Some sort of personal vouching system? Ever changing “human tests”? I’m not sure it’ll be enough.

Everyone clustered on like 4 websites for convenience, and then browsing the internet started to feel like wandering around different sections of the same department store: sterile, corporate, advertiser-safe, and everything’s transactional. Plus, it made it incredibly easy for any party that wants to astroturf public opinion, because now they only have to set up shop on a few sites: botting comments, infiltrating moderator positions, abusing the algorithms.

We desperately need to break the internet’s monoculture, and I think federated social media like this is a great start.

Always happy to do my part.

This is my favorite one yet.

I forgot about that community! Cross posted.

Armus strikes again!

I’ve ingested so much tea this way. I’m done for.

A few weeks ago, Gemini got confused when it tried to go first as black multiple times, so that’s the most immediate one I can remember. Last week, chatGPT offered to set up chess puzzles for me, but it made mistakes 3 out of 3 times.

Maybe I’ll try again. Is there a certain one you’ve seen good performance out of?

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s literally zero. I’ve tried with a few LLMs, and they’re all very confident that they know how to play chess, but they just start hallucinating illegal moves immediately.

Sometimes I forget how long it’s been!

Apparently they exist

Yeah, reading the article paints a more complex story than I had been reading on here since his death. The police had come out to their house “four dozen times” before, barbequing in the living room on the day of the house fire, allegedly showing up at his neighbor’s house with a crossbow before the police removed it from the home.

It’s a tragic situation, regardless of whatever details ultimately come out, but I think it’s probably best to let the investigation and courts sort out this mess.

The moment I see myself in an ad, I’m giving up on technology and joining the Amish.
