Not to mention the sheer wastefulness in terms of energy. A MINECRAFT REDSTONE MACHINE TIMER WOULD BE MORE EFFICIENT. (Not to mention that, unlike SOTA LLMs, it can run offline on a phone)

You are correct but I think you are missing the point.

Remember, from the perspective of all AI companies (OpenAi probably more than most), AI is this monster tech that will surely replace all workers and even your Grandma as it can bake better cookies.

This is yet another display of how lacking AI is in a simple, everyday task... but more importantly, it is a gigantic demonstration of how AI is completely blind to its own weaknesses which is what makes it really really dangerous when used as prescribed by OpenAi and the others

This situation is basically the same as when the brand new $700 iPhones (back when that was eye watering expensive for a phone) could not run an alarm in the mornings and Apple's answer was something like "why are you using your Cadillac phone as a cheap alarm?"... it should fucking wake me up with a massage for that cost!

Oh yeah, that's definitely a problem too. And part of the problem is that AI companies seem to be blind to the LLMs' weaknesses as well.

minecraft is turing-complete, so, like, you can do a whole lot more than just be a timer.

Absolutely. I was thinking of getting back into minecraft Redstone but I'd rather do it in a non-Microsoft alternative. Not to mention at least a dozen other projects on my backlog

Yeah, I'd be playing minecraft, too, especially with my nephew, but uhm. that whole microslop thing ruins it for me.

We do enjoy space engineers, though. (lots of mining, lots of building. Nephew loves it when Klang accepts our sacrifices.) It's a bit more involved than minecraft, though.

(but niftishly, there's programable blocks that will let you write c# code and... do things.) (space engineers 2 is in early access if you have the hardware.)

Check out Luanti and Voxelibre!

[–] MousePotatoDoesStuff@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Will do, thanks for the recommendations!

An open-source voxel game creation platform. Play one of our many games solo or together. Mod a game as you see fit, or make your own.

https://www.luanti.org/en/

VoxeLibre is a survival sandbox game for Luanti. Survive, gather, hunt, mine for ores, build, explore, and do much more. Inspired by Minecraft, pushing beyond.

Mesecons! They're yellow, they're conductive, and they'll add a whole new dimension to Luanti's gameplay.

Mesecons implements a ton of items related to digital circuitry, such as wires, buttons, lights, and even programmable controllers. Among other things, there are also pistons, solar panels, pressure plates, and note blocks.

Mesecons has a similar goal to Redstone in Minecraft, but works in its own way, with different rules and mechanics.
