Hi, there!

💆

I was born in 1989, so I am an ancient grandpa and demand respect for my lawn. (/s ya right like I own a house)

(P.s. I am not a sexy hairy ripped daddy bear, but I do own a cat named Tammy 🐈‍⬛)

  • 35 years old and this is one of the most overrated franchises I've ever touched.

  • Advanced OpenAI models hallucinate more than older versions, internal report finds

  • it's not a pacemaker though, it's a hammer. and sometimes the head flies off a hammer and hits someone in the skull. but no one disputes the fact that hammers are essential tools.

  • you're getting down voted because you accurately conceive of and treat LLMs the way they should be—as tools. the people down voting you do not have this perspective because the only perspective pushed to people outside of a technical career or research is "it's artificial intelligence and it will revolutionize society but lol it hallucinates if you ask it stuff". This is essentially propaganda because the real message should be "it's an imperfect tool like all tools but boy will it make getting a lot of certain types of work done way more efficient so we can redistribute our own efforts to other tasks quicker and take advantage of LLMs advanced information processing capabilities"

    tldr: people disagree about AI/LLMs because one group thinks about them like Dr. Know from the movie A.I. and the other thinks about them like a TI-86+ on steroids

  • i imagine this would be fun once when novel and then very irritating every other time

  • What are the best games that are not on big-name game stores like Steam, GoG, Epic, etc.?

    Jump

  • Voices of the Void on Itch.io. it's sort of like xfiles: the rpg. you live in a satellite field and you use old equipment to track suspicious signals from space and sell them off for upgrades and supply money. Things.... happen. while you're carrying out this peaceful existence. suspicious, freaky things. 🛸

    it's been out for a couple years now and it's very far in development but they are saving the steam listing for a more full release.

    edit: go into this game blind

  • i don't think people need to justify Airbnb's, it's a great alternative to a hotel for many reasons including those you listed. What needs to be addressed is the damage the shareholders who are running the company are doing to society. let's not give them too much credit about this choice: they are still sucking up homes from homeowners and removing money from the middle class. they only made this change because someone realized it will make them more money.

  • I'm a 6'1" man with size 3 feet which means every time they measure my feet at a shoe store, the Brannock device tells me I'm not a man

    Jump

  • they literally just said they've been the same size since grade school. this is what you do: -go into shoe store. -grab pair of shoes in same size you currently wear. -too big? grab a size down. too small? go up. -stand in line and purchase shoes -leave store with dignity in tact from small feet shame

    ***BONUS POINTS if an employee tries to help you and you tell them "I'm okay, i can handle it."

  • why....why do you keep getting your feet sized if they haven't grown since childhood??? you know your size! be a man and pick out your own fucking shoes!

  • Tesla’s Cybertruck problem keeps getting worse

    Jump

  • so....they intentionally lied to artificially increase demand and make their product look more compelling? can we get some fucking consumer protections regulations for fucks sake?? they're killing us out there

  • LG TVs’ integrated ads get more personal with tech that analyzes viewer emotions

    Jump

  • if it's anything like the other ai features they offer, it will be garbage and never work and slow everything down

  • What was that SpongeBob scene where it cuts away to some blursed image of a girl or woman hillbilly and Spongebob apologizes for it?

    Jump

  • this might be tricky, the overly detailed illustrations of messed up looking characters was a pretty common bit on the show

  • One of the best on N64

    Jump

  • oh snap, turns out I have all these versions! which would be good to start with? I know nothing about the entire franchise

  • One of the best on N64

  • i recently got a retro handheld and loaded it with full libraries in case i ever randomly want to play something from the past without any fuss.

    put this game in my favorites list to check out! never heard even a single thing about it and would have dismissed it based on title and cover.

  • i took "touchable" to mean you could literally feel the shape with your senses, but it appears what they are saying is it's a way to interact with it, via pass through in various ways, etc. still pretty cool though
