start with yourself, bitch. give your money to charity and we’ll find you a nice line job at a meat packing plant.

jensen huang, finding success for you will mean avoiding the guillotine.

I was getting ready to rant until you mentioned Terraria. Then I read the last line of your post.

Shoot, if I’m playing against the computer I use the game the way I want. It’s not cheating if your opponent is non-sentient.

I especially feel that way in games where ridiculous stuff happens at random (e.g. Rimworld). If I’m 2h into building a new colony and somehow get wiped out by 1 rabid squirrel, I curse, laugh my ass off for a minute, then load an autosave.

hopefully

And I bet teens are going to go on violating the TOS. Maybe we better restrict AI to people who could potentially read and understand the TOS if your product is so dangerous that lifesaving instructions are contained within.

Some Morton’s and a little milk and we can call it salt and batter-y. Just deserts, i say.

Yep, so much outrage. People are seething. Seething!

Someone should write an article about Trump getting “slammed”. Or someone could “fire back”, that would make a good headline. Such a response might cause Trump to have a “meltdown”.

If Trump’s insane provocations continue, eventuallly some americans will get so outraged that they will slowly roll over, scratch themselves, and fart.

LLMs are cool up to a point. It is pretty neat to see something imitate human speech so convincingly. But that’s it: neat. Like a phone shaped like a hamburger.

For me to be impressed beyond that, your thing needs to either do something that I can’t do better or do something i don’t want to do. I can write a pretty good grade 8 essay. I can summarize a paragraph. I can write a dirty limerick. I can complete my own sentence without punctuation suggestions.

When I want to create something, I want to do it myself. Putting my ideas in order and finding the words to say something meaningful is the fun part. Even when I write a work email or a cover letter, I’m not really interested in help. Either I have something to say (don’t want help), or I rattle it off in one go (don’t need help).

Microsoft, I don’t owe you my attention or my money. Make something useful that doesn’t suck. Impress me.

Like, not every grim headline makes me laugh out loud. Well done, satirical newspaper ‘usa today’.

It’s not exactly a minivan but i like my C-RV

thanks for answering! that is interesting.

it’s a heuristic. evaluating every one-day-old account on its own merits is a lot of mental load, so people take shortcuts. if you’re an active poster, people can look back through your comment history to get context on your perspective. it’s hard to do that with someone using a brand-new account. in a month, nobody will be saying that to you any more.

i traveled business class for a job interview one time (the employer paid). what a difference! i got a meal, and it was actually good.

side note: i ate chicken tikka masala in my white interview shirt (nerve-wracking), but i managed to avoid spilling :)

in my country, the black market marijuana trade is run by the same gangs that trade weapons and traffic minors. i buy my weed from the guv’ment store even though it is more expensive, because it supports legitimate retailers and growers. everyone along the supply chain (including me, the buyer) pays taxes to support good schools, hospital, transit…

can you elaborate on what makes it better? i am just curious

Someone downvoted you, but i get it. I’ve used both android and apple. i liked apple better. i can afford to pay a little extra to use the one i prefer.

i must admit, though, that the gap is closing. apple’s edge for convenience and good design has been eroding for 10 years.

What an asshole. If the same thing that makes your government powerful also makes your government evil, than supporting that thing does not make you a patriot, it makes you a fascist.

Actually, I’m just here to ridicule it

They got a lot of stuff wrong, TBH. President Camacho, for all his superficial similarity to Trump, is sincerely invested in helping his country. Reality is way, way worse.

For me, the uniform was liberating. People who wanted to bully me needed to find something more substantive than just my clothes. Bullies tend to be stupid, so this was hard for them.

If your individuality is all tied up in your physical appearance, try to develop your mind a bit. I am nonconformist in a thousand ways, each of which is more important than how i dress.
