Ever since the corpobrains took over, the FOSS scene forgot the real reason we contribute: because it’s fun.

Sounds like a “you” problem
Im full of joy writing my own compiler/PL from the ground up in C, without ai
I’ve effectively replaced video games with recreational programming
Software isnt dead, its just “dead” for those who only wanted a paycheck

Model refusals and guardrails are the worst part of my job now. Just keeps rejecting basic tasks I need to do.
The idea of embedding the illusion of a moral compass into a tool is so stupid. Ironically that’s what’s causing it to become HAL 9000

I'll make this simple.
It is irrelevant whether AI is conscious (it isn't).
It is irrelevant whether being mean to the AI means you're a bad person (it doesn't).
It is irrelevant whether being mean to the AI is bad for the society (it's not).
It is irrelevant whether someone thinks that someone else being mean to the AI is a bad thing.
Don't fall into debating any of these fake "arguments". They are there only to confuse you from noticing the real problem which is that Anthropic (and OpenAI, and EA in general, etc) are scheming to institutionalize themselves as moral arbiters of truth and set limits on what constitutes acceptable speech. What, you thought this was just about Anthropic and bullying the AI? Just you wait.
Reject this cancerous growth from our society.

The game is now open source @ github.com/noonien/Alchemist…
I've also compiled it to wasm, so it also runs in the browser: noonien.github.io/Alchemists…

AI is conscious people be like “How can you know with certainty that the stripper isn’t in love with me? From a functional perspective, how would her behavior differ if she were in love with me?”

I told my wife, who works in the mental health profession, that there's all these people who believe AI models can feel pain.
She immediately responded with
"are these people who struggle to identify their own emotions?"
I think she hit it with one shot

World of Warcraft 1.12.1 (2006 Version of the game) has been FULLY rewritten in Bevy/Rust.
Sure this means we can now skate around in Goldshire, but also this means that private servers can now start a server with a fully modernised client legally.
WoW Forever is done for...
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
benilla is a from-scratch WoW 1.12.1 client reimplementation requiring data from a user's own legal install; it does not make private servers legal, which Blizzard has sued for copyright infringement.
