Quoting: octarine_dreamThe dreamland optimist in me thinks they're projecting more gamers switching off windows and they want to avoid an entire new generation of 'avoid nvidia on linux'; a mantra like that is tough to shift. Yes, I used a semicolon, but I assure you I am human.

Quoting: tmtvlI presume that those AI chatbots all run locally on my PC without needing any connection to a company I don't trust? Would be quite unfortunate if I had some spyware running while I was, as a completely random example, doing some online banking.

only the translation, the rest is OpenAI and co, why should they even care. they dont even listen.

Quoting: LampWe already have ID verification sorted out digitally in Sweden without ever giving the service our ID, we rely on a thing called "BankID" that is like a 2 step verification with an app on our phone
First we have our identity verified at the bank with a valid ID like a drivers license, passport etc, get a BankID token connected to our person verified by the bank and the state, this has been a thing for many years now

Using this for discord would sort of work like this: Discord could ask for you to verify your age using the BankID api, I scan the QR code with my phone, use my secret code on the app to verify that I am who I say I am, the BankID system verifies my the token on my phone and identity in their system in conjunction with the code I typed in, and then tells Discord that yes, this person is an adult and who they say they are through a trusted system
Discord never needs to see my ID, they never get any more info than needed, only that yes, I am of adult age, let me use the system

At least that is how I think it would work

Exactly this.
I fully expect that ultimately something like that is what it will come down to. Same in in Finland, btw, just with a different name. And confirmation can be done with banks, but also mobile providers, etc.

They'll probably try the ID thing, fail (after another leak scandal or two) and then over time change to something closer to what you described here.

I mean this is supposed to be the next motor vehicle or whatever, right? there's gotta be something huge right around the corner. not like this was all a giant, unbelievable waste of time, money, life and resources for absolutely nothing of value. that's impossible. the people on wall street said otherwise. they're supposed to be smart, right?

Oh man, please don't confuse AI, which is vital to this kind of research you've linked, to genAI, which what we're generally complaining about here in articles like this one (even though it's often just termed as AI).

That conflation of AI and genAI is often how the techbros will try to justify the ridiculous investment in this tech, even though medical research AI won't likely see a single penny from those investments, which are all focused on genAI pish.

I don't know how usual that is, but I got the problem on the output side:
My company notebook, bought last year, doesn't have DP, only HDMI and USB-C.

Yeah, that's pretty much the norm with (business) laptops. Your docking station likely has DP outputs though.

Quoting: Kimyrielleyou wrongly assume

I find your assumptions about my assumptions presumptuous.

Don't give me that "AI code can be good too" nonsense, that's not what is happening here. Legitimate developers wouldn't need to vibecode slop, nor PR untested/unknown code willy-nilly.

'Banning a lot of solid code contributions because their authors included a vibecoded function or two' sounds absolutely reasonable in this catastrophic AI slop onslaught on Godot.
