Relevant info is in the first paragraph. Probably more info in the linked article by the group that actually got the leaked docs.

According to leaked documents obtained by The Information, the two companies [Microsoft and OpenAI] came to agree in 2023 that AGI will be achieved once OpenAI has developed an AI system that can generate at least $100 billion in profits.

AGI will be achieved once OpenAI has developed an AI system that can generate at least $100 billion in profits

I mean, at least it's not some stupid vaguery that armchair dullards will argue in circles forever about word meanings and minor technicalities that have nothing to do with AI and everything to do with their own malformed views of reality and humans behavior.

You sink in if you take too long though. I always took it to be that Chaos's body was effecting the water somehow.

Vixen isn't humanoid, and my understanding is that furries make a differentiation between anthro (humanoid) and actual animals.

So the real question is: does Vixen have sentience such that she can consent?

Kind of like the Scribblenauts sequels. A lot of puzzles trivialized with adjectives like invincible and flying.

I'm not sure I agree, but that's a real interesting take: Zelda 1, 2, BotW (and TotK) being one series, and all the others being something different? I can definitely see the argument.

OP, have you played the original two? They're far more similar to BotW than most of the others.

The development process for BotW supposedly started with people playing around with the original Zelda gameplay implemented in a modern codebase. They experimented with what sorts of emergent gameplay they could make by adding new features that could all interact with each other.

My guy it's fucking Christmas day. ~~The post itself is 2 hours old right now.~~ Your response to that post is a whole whopping 4 hours old right now. Allow the admins to have at least a small grace period where they aren't sitting right at the controls. Lemmy is nowhere near as big as Reddit, with large admin and mod teams able to take shifts.

I've literally seen no one say that it's forbidden. Maybe one of the comment chains from someone I already have blocked does, but there's only ~~four~~ two of those.

I see plenty of people saying this is a stupid post. A post that is uselessly vague. A post that is almost entirely purposeless.

I understand wanting to avoid brigading, but as it stands this post amounts to "You all should know that I reported someone (I won't say who, tee hee) for posting something that I think is misinformation about Wikipedia (I won't say what, tee hee). It's really bad, but you'll just have to take my word for it. This person I won't name is just the worst. You need to know they're the worst. But you don't need to know who they are or what they said, that's not important! Also I have vague consipiratorial feelings about anyone who would speak ill of Wikipedia after Musk said bad things about it, because no one could possibly have grievances or concerns with Wikipedia that are still valid despite Musk's derangement."

If you wanted to spread awareness, you should have named the problem user. If you wanted to force the admins into action you should have named the problem user.

If you are willing to give the admins time to handle things properly, especially during the fucking holidays where they likely have other things to do, instead of needlessly raising an alarm on something pitifully small... then you should have waited a few days for them to do something before running off to play vigilante with this post.

If you want to make people waste time trying to evaluate if you're a nutter, thin skinned, or otherwise blowing smoke... you make a post like this one.

Either you had enough evidence to make this warning/call out post legitimately, and then you make it with names, screenshots, and fucking receipts... or you give admins time to respond and sit until they show they won't do something.

This weak, vague post just says that you're too impatient to let the admins work, you don't trust them to do what you think is the right thing, but you're also chickenshit that they might ban you for talking about it. Rather than post this from a throwaway made on another instance you make this useless thing.

TL;DR- People are telling you that this attempt to "warn" people is worthless without actionable info.

The last thread OP participated in features a comment from OP countering something said about Wikipedia by wikipediasuckscoop. Looks like that's who.

Then why are you trying to be cute and not call out the username (or usernames if they are using alts)? This doesn't identify jack, just says that someone exists doing something nonspecifically bad towards wikipedia.

As important as Wikipedia is, there are a ton of legitimate problems with the site and community moderators. Some of the drama that comes out of there is downright otherworldly. Without examples it's hard to take what you're saying seriously.

Edit: Either there's enough direct screenshotted evidence that this needs to be a specific call for admins to ban this person, or this just comes across as absurd escalation of some stupid internet debate.

Second edit: it's wikipediasuckscoop

Do we really need a warning for someone so obviously biased? Next you'll be warning us that madthumbs might have some reservations about the usefulness of linux.

Doesn't Tom Fulp still own it? As far as I know he's pretty open about things and generally approachable. Might be worth sending him a message on Twitter/X/Whatever social media site, assuming there isn't already a blog post or forum thread where he talks about the changes.

I'd imagine that the site is having funding from ads dry up over time now that flash is dead and they get less traffic. I'm impressed that it's still around.

It might be blind nostalgia, but Fulp is one of the few admins I would trust not to go to the dark side, so to speak. Then again, m00t sold 4chan, which I never could have imagined.

If only life were so simple. There's a warehouse full of reasons.

• Why should they care as long as it's just talk? Sites on the open internet that truly pose a threat in regards to organizing coordinated action to effect the powers that be do get attacked and taken down, regardless of political affiliation. It's not about politics, it's about protecting the money and power.

• Threats are easier to track, and organized movements are easier to infiltrate/disrupt, the more visible they are. Why would they choose to push anything they're concerned about deeper into places that are harder to track like private IRC, Signal, dark web, etc?

• General plan of attack as documented in leaked intelligence agency docs, is to infiltrate potential threats, manipulate to discourage direct action and to divide the group with an ever increasing list of concerns until they're spread too thin for action, then cause loss of momentum and or trust in leadership, then finally destroy if there's any reason to (usually the movements disperse and die on their own at this point). Look into Occupy Wallstreet and how it was derailed by introducing intersectionality into what was originally a clearly targeted movement based purely on class division.

• Controlled opposition is useful as hell. They can use their own resources to more easily influence groups when the groups are out in the open.

• Obvious direct censorship action tends to spur people to action, vs careful manipulation to ensure the pot doesn't boil over.

• You can make money off of all sides and discussions when you own the discussion sites, get to harvest all the data, and get to sell all the ads.

• Things are not nearly as centralized as you imply, and even getting all the big names and powers in line and coordinated to do anything in one fell swoop is nearly impossible. Systemic issues are difficult because it's not one source of rules and truth passing commands down, it's tons and tons of people effected by rules and expectations from all over the place, which collectively congeal together to cause the shit end results.

My understanding is that it's torrent and direct download caching on a massive scale, by file hash or something like that.
