Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why is signage in Japan mostly written in Kana when discussing food stalls?English
24·4 days agoThere’s even a scene in the Yakuza games where some characters go to a fancy restaurant and the menus are all in kanji. One of them admits he can’t read the menu and the rest of them say they’re having a hard time too. The owner then says it’s common and that maybe he should update the menus to include kana to get with the times.
I figured this must be at least a somewhat common experience if the devs decided to include a scene like that.
Weird that I just watched something on this the other day! Psychologists like B. F. Skinner proposed that speech, and really all intelligence, was a learned behaviour. With enough positive and negative feedback, you could teach animals to do math or speak.
Linguist Noam Chomsky said that was the dumbest idea he’s ever heard because humans don’t learn speech. Speech is something innate in the human mind.
A group of scientists decided to prove Chomsky wrong and raised a chimp from birth while constantly training it on how to speak through methods that Skinner had pioneered. The chimp was named Nim Chimpsky and the most sophisticated thing it ever said is the quote in the OP image. After that, scientists decided Chomsky was right. Humans have a special talent for language that cannot be taught to animals that don’t already possess it.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•Apparently we can actually just solve world hunger fairly easilyEnglish
192·5 days agoAlso, there’s enough food for everyone to eat healthy, but not for everyone to eat like the average American. Even if nobody was starving, I still think people wouldn’t be that thrilled that some get to eat like kings while others must live off rice and beans.
That’s basically where we’re at with money. You get $30,000 a year, and I get $100,000,000. Why are you angry? Neither of us are starving!
AI CEOs in interviews: Our model is so advanced it scares me. It definitely has the ability to cure cancer, but it may also decide to kill all humans.
AI in their advertising: Our model can send emails and create shopping lists.

Games@lemmy.world•Kojima Productions Issues Statement Amid Speculation on Physint's Publisher ChangeEnglish
6·7 days agoThe statement:
Normally, we would not comment on unsubstantiated speculation on the internet, but these aspersions around our relationship with PlayStation, the commercial performance of the DEATH STRANDING franchise, and the broader production planning and investment for PHYSINT, have reached beyond the studio and have touched our fans, our creative partners, and colleagues we have worked alongside with for three decades. None of the claims written came from any official or on-the-record source and as such we encourage you to take them with a dose of scepticism.
I always thought people were joking when they asked for sauce “for science”

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•During online debate have you ever convinced the other party of your point of view?English
7·8 days agoFollow up question: Have you ever read a thread where a bunch of people are arguing and changed your opinion because of it?
Personally, I’ve never changed my mind because of an online post. I’ve changed my mind from articles, papers, documentaries, video essays, discussions with friends and family, but never from a comment section.

Programming@programming.dev•A very mad lad's technical explanation on several games' graphics pipeline (and why they suck)English
9·8 days agoFirst time watching him. I couldn’t get through the video that OP picked. It starts with him saying that everyone seems to think Expedition 33 is some beautiful game but it’s actually shit because the shadows are fucked and the textures are bullshit.
If this guy can’t enjoy Expedition 33 because of details so small he needs to show it by playing them slowed down, zoomed in, and with a red circle around them, I don’t think he can enjoy anything.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Be honest. You did the same thingEnglish
4·9 days agoBecause this is the name and logo of the CILT. Why would someone change it for a meme when they could copy paste it direct from the site? Why would this group not use their own logo on signs?

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Be honest. You did the same thingEnglish
01·9 days agoAre people using AI to make fake signs now?
Interesting that the thread is filled with people saying using AI to make a flyer is fine because the person making the flyer doesn’t have the time, skill, or budget to do anything more than some text and clip art.
Doesn’t that argument literally apply to everything AI is used for? Isn’t AI literally being marketed as the tool to use to do the thing you don’t have the time, skill, or budget to do?
Someone doesn’t have the time, skill, or budget to make a nice looking website? Just use AI. Someone doesn’t have the time, skill, or budget to make a nice looking menu for their restaurant? Just use AI.
Why does that argument work here but not for everything AI is used for?

Games@lemmy.world•Hideo Kojima's PHYSINT Game Moves to Xbox From PlayStationEnglish
1·20 days agoSony gave Kojima $100 million for Death Stranding and it took years for it to break even. His games are cherished, but they’re far from the biggest earners. I’d hate to be the budget guy constantly having Kojima blow up my phone saying he needs another $5 million because he wants a side character to be played by Pedro Pascal.



I’m sure the companies that have scraped the entirety of the internet for training data have been foiled by that one user replacing some letters in their comments (but not their posts) on lemmy.
