“several X users claim”, they say for sources. Christ Almighty.

I’m not particularly worried about losing the “likes generative AI” demographic, especially if they’re not going to support more important movements because their poor choices are being mocked.

Not sure I want to tell all my friends to get simplex with me.

Thanks for the information – good to know. I assume that like American law, he couldn’t be punished for something that wasn’t illegal when he did it?

Regarding the Uyghur comment the other guy made, definitely a bit tasteless but I don’t think it’s that ignorant given the genocide China perpetrated against them.

I guess the primary difference is between legally free speech versus socially free speech. The argument being that the government shouldn’t stop you from slinging slurs, while you have absolutely no right to not be ostracized/shunned/shamed by your fellow man.

What disinformation?

I think that’s the joke, Clyde!

The one use case I can see being valuable is dynamically reading a custom name. In Skyrim for example, all NPCs refer to you by your title as Dragonborn. But some smart person made a mod that uses AI trained on the NPC voice lines to embed your character’s name into dialog!

As long as voice actors are appropriately compensated/protected, say with royalties for every game that uses their likeness or an ironclad contract making sure the company can’t stiff then out of future work, I feel like that could be a great thing.

I worry the same way, but mostly just when I’m commenting on something hurtful. Like if a commenter is being agonizingly wrong about something really important, spreading lies, you know the kind. I’ll get worked up and start writing a comment, but realize that any point I make can be nitpicked and invalidated even if it’s broadly correct. So I don’t post those comments.

But when it’s not in response to someone being inflammatory, I feel better about just doing my best with what I write. If someone has a correction, well that’s a good thing! I’ll acknowledge it and edit my comment to include the better info I’m given. I can hope that the people reading it don’t see that I was wrong on one point and decide I’m completely wrong because I try to interact respectfully.

The problem as I see it is that there is an upper limit on how good any game can look graphically. You can’t make a game that looks more realistic than literal reality, so any improvement is going to just approach that limit. (Barring direct brain interfacing that gives better info than the optical nerve)

Before, we started from a point that was so far removed from reality than practically anything would be an improvement. Like say “reality” is 10,000. Early games started at 10, then when we switched to 3D it was 1,000. That an enormous relative improvement, even if it’s far from the max. But now your improvements are going from 8,000 to 8,500 and while it’s still a big absolute improvement, it’s relatively minor – and you’re never going to get a perfect 10,000 so the amount you can improve by gets smaller and smaller.

All that to say, the days of huge graphical leaps are over, but the marketing for video games acts like that’s not the case. Hence all the buzzwords around new tech without much to show for it.

Don’t forget that from Daniel’s testimony, we learned Trump coerced her under threat of blackballing her in the television industry.

Daniels testified that she thought they would be going to a restaurant, and eventually used the bathroom in Trump’s hotel room, but upon re-emerging was surprised to find Trump stripped to his underwear sitting on the bed. Daniels testified she said “I think we should go” and moved toward the door but Trump allegedly stood in her way saying in part, “This is the only way you’re getting out of the trailer park.” Daniels could not remember how she ended up on the bed, but testified that they had sex in the missionary position and Trump chose not to use a condom. Daniels insisted she was neither forced nor under the influence, but also said it wasn’t something she wanted and that she “blacked out”.

We don’t! When I was younger I had a theory that the brain is a 3D representation of an organ that exists in a higher dimension. Granted, I had (and still have) no relevant expertise to properly speculate on how that could work, but it was fun to think about.

My first thought is that you could write a program that does something like this:

• Receive prompt “how many times does R appear in the word ‘strawberry’”
• Run the prompt through LLM saying “reword the following into a command to generate code that will answer the question” or something like that
• Run the results through LLM
• Compile and run the results
• Provide the output to the user

Of course, the biggest problem with this system is that a person could fool it into generating malicious code.

Does Sirius have a way to give visual lyrics?

Thank you. It is really difficult. It’s especially hard to find the line. (Un)fortunately for me she’s always been unreasonable per se, so I already had her at arm’s length before Trump flopped onto the scene.

My mother is fond of saying “God doesn’t make junk”. Easily disproven whether or not you believe in a god, but she’s a “if I don’t like it, it didn’t happen” variety of Trump supporter, so I err on the side of changing the subject over arguing.

Wild! And might actually be effective, unlike the weirdos putting a “license” on their comments.

AMD.

She looks like Friendly Jordies!
