I love how the fediverse moves with care instead of “break stuff and move quick”. I’m sure this might turn some people off but social media should not be taken lightly, specially with all the news on how it affects us.
Keep it up Mastodon!

Oops haha. honestly I think world generation should check for lava pools, you would never build a mansion next to one xd


I’m on KDE too, what distro do you use?


That’s awesome! I see some rough edges like some rendering issues in some models in examples but I will use this indeed!


Yes that might be the case. I feel the expected result should be a straight line between the points though instead of a horizontal and vertical line connection.
I think in Krita is specially noticeable but this behaviour can be seen on GIMP and even in photopea though there is harder to reproduce. Maybe there’s nothing than can be done to fix it but I’m not sure.


Test it myself too and it seems more smoth there but if you move slowly it also happens but it’s a lot harder to notice indeed!


Yeah yesterday I tried using a live installation in Gnome and same issue. Seems some deeper thing going on!


yeah that’s not the complain, this happens to all drawing apps. This is some Linux rendering/composer thing going on. That behavior is not normal and it does’t happen on apple and in Windows I couldn’t test yet but I’m sure it doesn’t happen there either.


I’ve tested on different mouse, the touchpad and the steam deck. All do the same behavior.


Exactly. I’ve updated the post with more details.


I’ve tested with touchpad and even on different computers with Linux all behave the same. Even on the Steam Deck.


When zoomed out straight lines look like a staircase. I’ve updated the post with more details.


A mouse but same with touchpad. I’ve updated the post with more details.


For some games I have to alt+tab twice to remove that (deselecting and selecting again)


Haha yup not ideal but it’s cool that it has the capabilities. Hopefully in the future this is more polished and useful :)


It will play alongside us, maybe future npcs will seem as real as another player. This is both exciting and terrifying haha but sites like .io games where already using AI to make servers seemed there were more players than what really was there.
I think the problem with all of this is not telling the player. If I know I’m playing with bots it’s fine since I can choose but don’t deceive me saying they are humans, that should be (or maybe is?) illegal.
First of all, as long as it doesn’t replace search I’m fine with more options, I don’t like when a company forces me stuff, that’s it. I just think this is pointing to a future where search disappears and I don’t quite like that.
You might dislike a direct answer but young people don’t. The design of the applications can encourage certain types of behaviors, can spread misinformation and promote racism as we have seen in many social media now.
Things like Instagram and TikTok stress me out by the speed they show content and I could conclude no one will use those but then you see the new generations and how they even listen to music there, just the chorus of a song and go to the next one. This way of consuming information is being promoted by how the apps are designed; it is no coincidence that depression is increasing among young people.
You can say that in principle people can use more responsibly this types of social media, but that’s not the reality when we have algorithms trying to maximize the time we spend on the phone. Also, how do you know that companies don’t add biases to LLMs? Turns out Gorg (the LLM on twitter) they have added to the prompt to not criticize Elon or Trump. That’s the current problems of LLMs is that we don’t have context and even if there is context, if you have to put effort into it people won’t do it. This happens to scientific articles where people never check the sources, imagine with other stuff…
I honestly like LLMs and I think they are fascinating and very useful in a lot of situations! And efforts like Perplexity gives me a bit more faith than google just throwing an LLM that suggests to eat rocks. And while you might see that eating rocks shouldn’t be done, there’s this bias that can be build behind any LLM that affects in a way that will be hard to avoid or notice. Same way current algorithms affects us more than we think they do and polarizes opinions.
I mean will see where this goes, I just want companies to take the matter seriously.
I think it’s simply that getting a direct answer is easier than reading different forums with different views and come up with your idea. That doesn’t mean people want google search to stop searching. We have gemini, if I want to use gemini I can go to gemini. I don’t get why everything has to be AI. We can have multiple tools, not everything out there is a nail.
This is like saying that playing lottery makes you lose money and you say: then how do you explain that this person got rich?
This studies talk about statistics and there can be outliers and is not a contradiction :)
