• They’re trained off masses of shit with no regulation. For all we know the idea is from a mash of 2011 Reddit comments and an 2016 news article about public health in The Netherlands.

  LLM control is just trial and error guardrails applied like band-aids, many of them contradicting each other.

  This is what happens when technology is rushed to implementation before governments can react with regulation.

Nvidia compute will not be required to build on or deploy through Hugging Face.”

  Uh-huh. So why did they buy it then?

• Yep. I think it explains the popularity of HLL, reforger, and the increasing amount of those titles. Keyboard dexterity gets you no where if you can’t think or communicate. Like in real life, the loser is more often outsmarted than anything else.

  on Is Old or New Call of Duty better? in c/games@lemmy.world · 30 Aug 2026

• Old.

  The new ones, I wouldn’t even call military or war games. They’re like Overwatch with things based on real life objects. Basically it’s about how good you are at performing a gymnastics routine in a firefight. Slides, spins, dives, rolls, have a pretty outfit, performing in this cute battle theme arena. Nothing really at all to do with being called for any sort of military duty.

• I stopped using Twitter many, many years ago. It was just full of shit and a place for people that can’t keep thoughts in their head, no matter how uninteresting and pointless they are to speak aloud.

  I’ve been fine. Much better than those that still use it, as far as is clear to me. Just leave. It’ll only be an improvement.

• That was not what you should’ve gotten from my point.

  But, yes. That is also obviously correct.

  Edit: Granted, my bad for really dumbing down the wider scope of it. I re-read the comment now seeing why, when regarding the specifics of signal disruptions of a network for identifying—which is a part of IDing and tracking secondary to the actual top layer identifying—is a thing. Thought that went without saying…

  Am learning this is somehow surprisingly new to people. Which is honestly the bigger concern.

• You’re dumbing down old technology with interpersonal wording. Like it’s the first time people figured out how to read frequencies interrupted by bodies of things…

  It’s 2026 and you’re reminiscing on SNR being a side effect of general proximity like it’s 2006 and clean direct signal is how comms still work.

  The fact that this is now a household product for the masses… Catch up.

  Edit; Sorry. Am learning from my inbox that this is a new highlighted thing to people. Was being harsh in hindsight. Thought it was common knowledge so was sharing further common knowledge.

• If anyone didn’t already know, this isn’t anything new. It’s basically just WiGLE but not public level, and is using that to track devices coming and going.

  You don’t need Xfinity WiFi to do this. Everything you have with a BT or WiFi antenna is already out there and everyone can see it. It’s logged and recorded. Can literally see my neighbour’s got two iPhones moving around right now and I didn’t even get out of bed. Oh, they also have a JBL Encore Essential… That explains something that happened last week.

  Seriously. Use it for something you consider yourself an expert at. Based on what happens, remember it’s like that for any topic. Yes, even the ones you know little about but it seems to. That’s the state of generative “AI”.

• The Framework laptops have been selling out with backlog orders now. But with new models recently out, all the Linux ones sold out well before the Windows ones.

  I think it just kind of goes to say, if you know a bit about computers, Linux is a go-to. Of course those that are a bit tech-savvy as well would just get a Windows one, clear it off and install the distro of their choice. Plus once upgrade is done, my OS and files are all there like nothing happened. Things like setting up Windows again on a new device or new install is like a full day task.
