5 months agoI don’t share the feeling. I’ll gladly tie a M$ shareholder to a chair, force them to watch me play Perfect Dark, and say “man I love these AI settings, I wish they made AI like they used to”.

The term “Artificial Intelligence” has been around for a long time, 25 years ago AI was an acceptable name for NPC logic in videogames. Arguably that’s still the case, and personally I vastly prefer “Artificial Intelligence” to “Broad Simulation Of Common Sense Powered By Von Neumann Machines”.
In defense of people who say LLMs are not intelligent: they probably mean to say they are not sapient, and I think they’re loosely correct if you consider the literal word “intelligent” to have a different meaning from the denotative “Intelligence” in the context of Artificial Intelligence.

- There are runes that can create golems, or perform math like no human ever could
- A rune can only be read or written by mages of the correct school
- Computers are haunted by insect-like ghosts who can’t be seen by the naked eye
- Ward spells, created by mages only for mages, can be used to detect the ghosts or defend against them
- Magic manifests when mana flows through the spellcasting implement
- Old runes are incomprehensible to younger mages, but years of
reverse-engineeringstudy from the dedicated ones can reveal their secrets - Souls may lose their
storage devicephysical form, but as long as they exist, they can be brought back to life
I suspect companies behind needlessly memory-intensive software would rather push (harder) towards cloud services, or ignore the problem entirely - I’m sure they’ll find a way to enshittify their products in a way that solves the problem for them, or see lower profits and learn absolutely nothing.
If the software in question is something people need for their job, those companies can absolutely just decide that it’s not their problem and that you’ll just have to face the shortage head-on.
I recall listening to half of a video from SumitoMedia, where his answer to your question is, quote, “do you hear how fucking stupid you sound?” (you can probably guess why I didn’t watch the rest of it).
