As am I. Technology cannot accurately discern intent. Fact checking is the easiest way to do that, and only applies to objective truths. Outside of fact checking, it’s completely guessing, and wouldn’t be reliable enough to be useful to anyone.
Would depend how they work, but assuming we’re using conventional technology and not some magic doohickey that can 100% verify the truth, then you’d probably just get shunned by your peers. Technology cannot accurately verify whether someone is lying unless it’s about an objective fact, and even then, its database may be out of date when someone’s informing you of a new discovery. If you’re using an LLM, then it may just make random shit up. And if you’re using a corporate LLM, then you’re transmitting everything you see and hear to some corporation, where they may keep that data for whatever they please, simply so you can have a popup that tells you either a lie itself, or something you should be able to surmise by yourself. You’re not a corporation, so likely people wouldn’t revolt against the glasses like they do against Facebook’s, they’d just stop talking to you.
It’s a DLC spoofer. Basically, if you can find the files for the DLC (having a friend with them helps, or check the piracy megathread), you can put them where they would normally be in the game files, then use CreamAPI to make the game think they’re legitimate. There are a couple programs to do the latter half of this process automatically, I find CreamInstaller works quite well.
Agreed, CreamAPI or Koalageddon are basically required to play the game at this point.
Stellaris. Don’t get me wrong, I love the game, and I love seeing it get updated, but for anyone else, all they see is 300 DLC that they need to buy, otherwise it’s a completely different game than the one I’m playing. And not all of that DLC is created equally.
The amount of files linked to each one aside, you don’t become/remain a billionaire by following the law.
Not elitist to say that people who use what are essentially weighted random word generators for programming, a career that requires one to know exactly how their code works in case it breaks, are bad at their jobs. Just like how it’s not elitist to say that generated images are not art, and that flying a plane into a building doesn’t make you a good pilot.
Night In The Woods. If you haven’t played it, I’d recommend it. The characters are so well written, and some of the things they touch on hit me on a very, very personal level. And the music complements it all perfectly. It manages to have silly moments and serious moments with the same characters that all manage to fit and mesh together so well, and their relationships and lives all feel real and evolving throughout the story.
Soylent Green is PEOPLE!
Huh, seems my reddit app stopped working at the perfect time. Place will probably end up a shithole soon enough.
My apologies for taking yours, most hypothetical discussions I have still operate under the pretense of reality and what’s currently possible.
I imagine if they were 100% effective by some means, you still wouldn’t be very popular. Lies are a pretty common part of human conversation. You might get sick of them constantly alarming you for small, white lies. Unless you could filter them to only alert for bigger lies, in which case they’d probably find some use by law enforcement and intelligence agencies, but probably still not be very well-liked by the average person.
