Show HN: My party game where AI decides if you’re funny (opens in new tab)

You got hit with the classic anti-scammer technique of “go along until you see a chance to make a run for it”.

Greenlight has not been a thing for 7 years or so, you can just pay a fee and publish your game.

This happens a lot and it's really weird. Google had a Gemini stand at Supercomputing, the best thing they could figure out to demo their vision abilities was to have you male lego robots and have the AI judge them.

Like, why is that fun? Would it be fun if the judge was a human? And is that all AI can contribute, arbitrary value judgements that we'll find humorous?

> Dance for the computer, it will judge you

Those games are wildly popular!

In fact, being judged by the computer is a favorite way for many people to spend their time.

I agree. With the algorithms that things like "Dance Central" used, it wasn't that bad, because people knew it was just a bad algorithm.

With this, though, some people will think that it really is funny if the computer thinks it's funny, and they'll target that.

If you think things like Skibidi Toilet are ridiculous, just wait until people are trying to please a flawed LLM, and then spreading it to the world.

I think that's because the Internet sucks, and LLMs are trained on that crap. For example, I notice that almost every time a professional female comedian posts anything on social media, the comments are filled with guys saying "that's not funny" or "no women are funny", even for women who regularly sell out large venues on their tours. If you inject all that as training data of course your model is going to "believe" the same thing.

I think this might be related to AI's difficulty related to contextualization. If I imagine Chris Rock or Kat Williams delivering these lines it almost works.

Welcome to 2024, where we somehow managed to fuck up society so hard that racial slurs are "based" and funny.

I don't go into the office often, but when I do, I'm always frustrated that I have to turn off my VPN (which is just to connect to my Jellyfin server back at home) and randomly have my internet throttled during large downloads.

IMO, anything that needs to be secured on-site should be airgapped anyways, and treat your LAN/WAN as if it's a public access point.

D'ya like dags?

Are the WineHQ forums also blocked due to alcohol?
