Squid Game Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk Teases 'Possibility' of a Spinoff Ahead of Final Season
11mon 2d ago in television@piefed.social from people.comIn terms of business decisions it may make sense, but honestly the very fact the show's had additional seasons already seems to really kill the spirit of it. A spinoff would feel like sending that spirit to further depths of hell.

11mon 3d ago in business from www.cnbc.comUnless I'm mistaken, it sounds like they were running without human input, see last sentence:
AI avatars can sharply reduce costs since companies don’t need to hire a large production team or a studio to livestream. The digital avatars can also stream nonstop without needing breaks.
The phrasing is clunky, I'll give you that, which I think is attributable to this being early days for the tech.
Not a fan of this application of AI, but I thought it was a little funny to read. It figures businesses would want to create artificial sales and marketing drones.
I guess on the plus side it may mean unlike real people you could more ethically and comfortably find ways to shut them down.
AI helps narrow 8,000 catalyst options down to one that supercharges green ammonia | Phys.org
11mon 3d ago in technology@slrpnk.net from phys.orgThis is the kind of AI/machine learning I can get behind, especially given it may sort of help even out some of its energy use in the process. More of this application of the tech could be great if the results hold up.
Any recommendations on a good PS3 controller?
11mon 4d ago in RPCS3Although it doesn't appear to have hall effect, the Retrofighters' Defender Bluetooth controller may be one of your best options.
There's also some other options out there with gyro, like a Nintendo Switch Pro controller, and it appears 8bitdo's Ultimate 2 controller may be, or at least come very close to, what you're looking for in terms of both hall effect and gyro/motion control.
If RPCS3's controller settings provide the option (it's been awhile since I've messed with it), you may find it easier to set a button or trigger as a modifier so that when held other inputs (e.g. analog stick movements) read as motion movements. This is what I've tried with emulating PS2 games that used pressure sensitive buttons in the past and it worked pretty well.
Celebrate 10 Years of Aerials and Epic Saves in Rocket League Season 19!

It's interesting that Rocket League didn't seem to inspire many imitators given its success.
ChatGPT Has Already Polluted the Internet So Badly That It's Hobbling Future AI Development
11mon 4d ago in fuck_ai from share.googleOdd url...Here's the original: https://futurism.com/chatgpt-polluted-ruined-ai-development
Nice detail to use when searching the internet btw:
"But if you're collecting data before 2022 you're fairly confident that it has minimal, if any, contamination from generative AI," he added. "Everything before the date is 'safe, fine, clean,' everything after that is 'dirty.'"
Try running searches set pre-2022, at least for older info, to reduce the possibilities of AI generated noise.
Anyway, kinda funny to see these generators may be producing enough noise to make producing more noise somewhat harder. Hopefully this doesn't also impact more productive AI development, such as what's used in scientific research and the like, as that would genuinely suck.
Edit:
Revised from generators "have produced" to "may be producing" to better reflect the lack of concrete info regarding generative AI data pollution as someone else pointed out. As they note:
"Now, it's not clear to what extent model collapse will be a problem, but if it is a problem, and we've contaminated this data environment, cleaning is going to be prohibitively expensive, probably impossible," he told The Register.
Zine Making | Joe Van Cleave [21:31]
11mon 5d ago in mealtimevideos@lemmy.cafe from www.youtube.comCool to see a brief example of how to make a pocket-sized zine, and smart thinking on their part for making a master copy with a separate page for the front & back covers. If you wanted to print the same zine with a variety of covers that'd be perfect.
Inside The World's Most Unusual Fossil Site - The La Brea Tar Pits (Feat. Lindsay Nikole) [38:38] by Miniminuteman

11mon 5d ago in politicsSort of odd to see this again (from Vox as well, I think?). It seems to add more detail, but the bottom line remains the same: it's largely because fewer people are trying to immigrate into the U.S. since the Trump admin entered office.
Trump might struggle to ramp up deportations along the border, as Obama did, simply because significantly fewer people are coming. In March, border apprehensions fell to 7,181, a 95 percent decrease from March 2024.
This all sucks, and another part that sucks about it is that as usual, in the absence of as many of the Republicans'/conservatives' favorite scapegoats, they begin turning inward and grabbing anyone and everyone that remotely resembles those scapegoats to abuse and deport to appeal to their base. Without more pushback, and as those deportation numbers continue to dwindle, you can expect that they'll begin more widely rounding up their detractors (or at least attempting to).
