The older you get the easier it gets to abandon all streaming services to be honest.

Every high production value movie is a cliche you can guess 5 minutes in. And the few outliers get so much publicity you will probably hear about them anyway and be able to get a copy through other means.

I guess it’s also why apparently CD sales have been picking up. Easier to just rip your favorite music and listen to/stream your own collection than deal with a mess of different services.

Both the Omarchy shilling and these attempts at smearing a lot of people with the least charitable interpretation possible of their words and actions feel incredibly artificial, so I’m going to do what is best for me and ignore both.

In the Chinese Room scenario, cards with Chinese written on them are inserted into a box.

Inside there is a man who doesn’t understand Chinese but has a lookup list of which symbols to write as a response to every possible sentence you can write on the inserted card.

For anyone observing from outside the box it looks as if whatever is in the box is fluent in Chinese and can hold a conversation. But the man inside does not understand anything about Chinese.

This is used as an analogy to explain that machines, very much like the man in the box, do not actually understand the data they are fed, nor the data they output, no matter how human the response might seem.

It was an argument against the Turing test, which is about whether machines showing behaviour indistinguishable from a human is a sign that they can think.

The Chinese Room argument is that they must also show understanding of the data itself, rather than just human-like responses, to say that they think.

I guess I’m a young woman now, if we go by the art of Metal Bringer.

Did they include AI slop, dogshit mobile game ports, low effort games, and the like in the dataset? If so, I’m not surprised.
