Sniper Elite 4/5 are my favorite stealth game. Huge maps with a lot of ways to approach combat, the way they use noise works really well, and who doesn’t like exploding a grenade on someone’s chest into a truck engine to disable that too?

Hitman (I honestly have no clue what they’re calling it now; it was 3 when I bought it) also has a passable rogue-lite mode now. The missions don’t have the same hand crafted polish as the real missions, but you start light and earn your way up to gear, with varied challenges to unlock currency, and potentially alert future targets on future maps if you’re sloppy. If you like stealth, hitman’s brand is a little different, but it’s solid overall.

I’m not really arguing the merit, just answering how I’m reading the article.

The systems are airgapped and never exfiltrate information so that shouldn’t really be a concern.

Humans are also a potential liability to a classified operation. If you can get the same results with 2 human analysts overseeing/supplementing the work of AI as you would with 2 human analysts overseeing/supplementing 5 junior people, it’s worth evaluating. You absolutely should never be blindly trusting an LLM for anything. They’re not intelligent. But they can be used as a tool by capable people to increase their effectiveness.

It’s another untapped market they can monopolize. (Or just run at a loss because investors are happy with another imaginary pot of gold at the end of another rainbow.)

They use LLMs for what they can actually do, which is bullet point core concepts to a huge volume of information, parse a large volume of information for specific queries that may have needed a tech doing a bunch of variations of a bunch of keywords, before, etc. Provided you have humans overseeing the summaries, have the queries surface the actual full relevant documents, and fallback to a human for failed searches, it can potentially add a useful layer of value.

They’re probably also using it for propaganda shit because that’s a lot of what intelligence is. And various fake documents and web presences as part of cover identities could (again, with human oversight), probably allow you to produce a lot more volume to build them out.

There are ways to handle and prepare most meats so that they’re reasonably safe. And even the “safe temperature” people generally see are the instantaneous temperature (if they hit that, the most common sources of food borne illness they carry are dead), but you can achieve the same results if you can keep the internal temperature at a lower temperature for longer.

The guidelines for cooking are assuming some potential for exposure to contamination somewhere in the process.

For beef you’re generally fine if you kill surface germs. You can serve steaks rare because it’s not really a risk.

Ground beef is not because the surface germs get mixed in.

Your inability to read a straightforward sentence is not my issue.

You should work on your reading comprehension.

Combat also varies heavily between weapon types and equipment weight. You have to approach combat completely differently with different gear, so you can play it again with less of a feel of exploration (probably not none; it’s huge), but completely different battles.

Where did anyone say anything that resembles “make a free for all in between” in any way?

The core concepts of current laws are completely incompatible with any form of actual ownership in a digital world. You need to write new laws that start from the ground up with concepts that work.

The core concept of ownership and copying needs to change if you want anything resembling what IA did to be protected. Because the underlying premise behind copyright legislation that that any unauthorized copy needs a specific exception to be legal, and it’s impossible to use digital files without numerous copies.

That’s starting from scratch.

That’s the point, though. The law is very clear that mass distributing wholesale copyrighted works isn’t fair use. Digitizing it was the part justified by fair use “archival”. Distribution isn’t.

You have to start over and throw out the old laws. Right now there’s no framework to own a file at all (outside of actually holding the copyright). It’s always a license.

There is no logical fallacy.

It also is not a statistic. 🤷🏼‍♀️

The title isn’t a mistake.

It’s openly stating that they believe that to be an inherent feature of at least our current legislation.

IA didn’t get sued for archiving. They got sued for mass redistribution.

Easy fix.

Make blocking a poster block posts containing their articles, too. It makes avoiding nonsense easier, not harder. Then streamline the ability to share and collaborate on collaborate on curation (both “read this” and blacklists) and leave the power in the hands of the users. Once the tooling works, you could, as a host, suggest “recommended blacklists” or “recommended curators” for new users.

The bonus of this is that you can still moderate and ban clear “over the line” stuff (whatever your standards are), but stuff that’s more controversial doesn’t have to have users exactly match their instance, and they aren’t forced to migrate if their/their instances stances change. (That doesn’t mean don’t actually ban racism or malware or spam bots. You could use the same list tool to ban all that without doing it personally every time. But people who think you should ban more stuff that they don’t like would have alternate ways to handle it.)

Which is the reason the SATs are extremely mediocre at evaluating actual competency.

There’s a big difference between being able to pick one of four definitions of a word and being able to read a sentence containing it without stopping for an hour.

That’s basically what comments are most useful for. When you’re doing something that’s not obvious, and want to make sure the “why” doesn’t get lost to time.

It was maybe too low for their awesome library they had at the start (though their initial pricing was still more than a lot of their customers spent in a year for movies/TV prior).

It’s criminally overpriced for their awful library now.

Yeah this is an ad.
