  • ChatGPT also doesn’t give true answers, it gives an approximation of what you want to hear without any regard for truth or accuracy. This is how every LLM functions. It does not know facts. It does not care to tell you facts because it does not know what they are.

    Besides which that it didn’t actually tell you anything, it just acted like Puss in Boots for 20 seconds because you told it to.

    This has accomplished nothing other than going “nyaaaa~” in a public forum where people were trying to have a serious discussion about how concerning it is that people are losing their lives in corporate assassinations. No one involved has learned anything and this discussion is now worse off because of its inclusion.

    I hope the 2.9 watt-hours and 8 ounces of water you just wasted were worth it.













  • You know the Dead Internet theory? Where like 80% of the internet is just bots talking to each other and there are no humans involved?

    American Cable TV has already reached the equivalent of that. It is a vehicle for advertisement. The whole industry is primarily propped up by advertisers in order to have a platform for their advertisements. Hardly any human eyes are on them anymore, because anyone out there who is still watching TV shows is overwhelmingly likely to be watching those shows on Netflix or Hulu. But the ads must flow.

    Mostly the only people who are still seeing these are older folks, who are one of the easiest markets to market to. So there is still, arguably, some value in this. But realistically speaking if you’re advertising on cable TV and your target market is anything other than folks 70+ years old, you’re wasting your time. The whole thing is one big advertiser circlejerk. I believe this is why we now get less than 20 minutes of actual content during a 30-minute programming block. Air time has been shrinking to make room for more ads for a couple decades at least.



  • I fucking love this game with a burning fervor that is not matched anywhere else. Qud could have been made for me personally and it wouldn’t be any more perfect than it is. I’ve been playing this game damn near ten years and I still come back to it for every single major update. I’m stoked to see the 1.0 finally release and I hope it gets the attention it deserves.
