I swear Anthropic is the drama queen of AI marketing
First they kept playing the China threat angle, saying if the government don't pump them full of cash, China will hit singularity or someshit
Then they say supposedly Chinese hackers used Anthropic's weapons grade AI to hack hundreds of websites before they put a stop to it. People in the industry presses F to doubt
Just not so long ago they're like "Why aren't we taking safety seriously? The AI we developed is so dangerous it could wipe us all out"
Now it's this
Why can't they be normal like the 20 other big AI companies that turns cash, electricity and water into global warming
Never written stuff like this before, having to write "did a search with the name on it" as "A general Internet search using just the company name and the product code number was performed" got a chuckle out of me.
How recent is this? I remember when ChatGPT was just becoming a thing and saw someone commenting "GTA6 will have NPC with ChatGPT AI that acts like real people and you can talk to them directly".
I was hoping as people get to know how it works more, they'd stop hallucinating about its capabilities.
Bought Fursan Al-Aqsa: Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque a while ago on discount. Finished it last week.
For those who don't know, it's made by a Palestinian man that lives in Brazil. Got banned in the UK and EU after he added a "Operation Al-Aqsa Flood" mission(basically october 7)
There are actually 2 games in it. One that's already finished called "Classic" and one that's currently being developed called "Remastered". The classic plays a lot like early 2000s shooters like Delta Force. Expects you to go in carefully, conserve your resources and peak around corners and such. I like it a lot but it would probably be frustrating/feel outdated to people used to modern FPS. Contains classics like fighting on an Israeli "frigate" that looks like a WWII battleship, feed the captain to a giant shark with Palestinian flag painted on it before blowing the ship up. Or sneaking into the Iron Dome command center, rescuing Abu Obeida
before blowing the entire base up. Abu Obeida sacrificing himself to ensure the success of the mission.
The remastered version plays more like shooting galleries with wall runs and regenerating health. Has less substance IMO except hilarious cutscenes straight out of Mortal Combat. Currently only has 4 levels and is in the middle of an engine upgrade, so who knows if it will ever be complete. The "update preview" shows a 3D render of Yahya Sinwar
, which is cool.
Should only take about 7 hours to complete. With an all achievement completionist run taking 9-10.
I developed a fear of the smell of pool water when my parents sent me off to swimming lessons.
Started off fine when everyone had extra floats strapped to them. After a few lessons we were supposed to take them off. So one coach started going through the kids, taking off one and immediately moving on to the next kid. I sank like a rock as soon as it's taken off me. Flailed my arms around, struggled, no one came to help. A bit later I saw a glimpse of light from under the water, reached for it, turns out it's the edge of the pool. Pulled myself up, looked around, everyone's doing their own thing, nobody noticed.
Spent the rest of the lesson hiding in the locker room, never managed to learn swimming. My legs still tremble when I smell chlorine all those years later. Like when walking into a freshly cleaned bathroom.
For me (non-American), it's the age of drinking being higher than the age to own a gun or drive a car.
Well I guess that's not really culture. Okay, maybe this: Expect smiles and the nicest service from retail/customer service workers, who's being paid the lowest and deal with the most amount of bullshit.
Around here, people sort of just expect them to be playing on their phone and not really paying attention to you.
I once saw someone unironically sharing their new trick of "if you need to write a bunch of really similar lines just with different numbers, chatGPT does it really well".
Kind of blew my mind (and everyone else that saw the thread)
What you do is use a for loop to generate a million lines for you, then paste it in.
Writing it manually is moronic.
You can easily make it support numbers above 1,000,000 too this way, talking about scalable
But the power is ours
