  • Repeat after me: LLMs are never safe.

    If you can't distinguish Data from Instructions, you are inherently doing it wrong, and it will never be fixed.

  • TIL Apollo astronaunts had to use a fecal bag, leave it open, massage in a bacterocide before discarding.

    Poop in a bag.

  • Age helps. Our cats took 3 years before they could lay down within slapping distance of eachother, and another 2 before they could actually cuddle up.

  • I wanted to design bridges and/or so something with history. So I went to school, took one year of civil engineering and realized that the last on earth I wanted to do was design bridges.

    Switched to chemistry, got a PhD, realized the second-to-last thing I wanted to do was academia, followed closely by lab work.

    Unfortunately I finished right in the middle of the housing crash, so I did QA for a factory for a bit (which combined a little policy stuff with a lot of labwork). Then went back to civil engineering, aiming for something chemistry ike asphalt or concrete.

    That didn't really work out, but I did end up being vastly overqualified for my job there. Rolled into safety and compliance by virtue of being the least unqualified person there. They paid for another college level degree during office hours, and then fired me after restructuring (thanks for the free degree guys!) so now I'm self-employed in safety and compliance, I do audits and help people and the environment stay safe and clean.

    I do historical reenactment as a hobby, because history is cool!

  • I want more Strange New Worlds, not more Discovery.

  • When do you think we'll be able to harness nuclear fusion as a viable source of energy?

    Jump

  • Nooooo, do you really think we'll need a computer to run it? You don't say, and I thought we'd just use one of the big 1920s lever boards with lots of Frankenstein style switches and big manual valves and just work really really fast.

    It's hilarious that you're phrasing as if the software is the problem, and the gigantic, multi billion dollar facility that is required to do it.

    Jump

  • That's not even a joke.

    The most pessimistic cost for ITER, the first real fusion reactor, is 65 billion dollars in total.

    In the last two years, we (people) have spent over 600 billion dollars on LLM shit. Mostly datacenters and GPUs.

  • I once bought 2cm thick hemp rope for reenactment purposes (can't recommend, it's worse than nylon and costs more and maintaining it sucks).

    I don't have any spare, but I chucked some on a scale, and it seems to be about 250 grams per meter, for about 8.5lbs per 50ft.

    So D&D rope is even thicker, or its tarred (which you absolutely should do if you dislike drying rope).

  • "I need help from someone strong here." That's really what they needed.

    Offtopic-ish, but a couple of years ago, I couldn't open a jar, so it said "ugh, I'm going to need a tool for this". Then my then-boyfriemd walks by, opens it and goes "you're welcome". I had to explain why I was laughing so hard.

    I still tease my now-husband with that every time I need a hand.

  • Im a doctor, just not a medical one.

    Also, nobody ever calls me doctor.

  • They're trying to take our guns!

    Jump

  • Let me translate this:

    You (the Outgroup, meaning leftists) can't have guns. If You (the Outgroup) does this, We (the ingroup, the right) will kill you. You have no rights, We have no restrictions.

  • I don't recommend investing to anyone, because this is absolutely bound to happen. I just say "Hey, I invest via [broker], and mostly in broad ETFs".

    If they want advice, I'll tell them anything except for names, because the minute I do, they'll buy, the price will drop and they'll sell and get angry at me.

  • Meh, I bought a few t-shirts for 3 bitcoins way back when.

    Of course, I never would have held on to them till 100k. I would have sold a dozen times over between 10 euros and 100.000 euros.

  • Buttcoin

    Jump

  • What? That's completely wrong.

    If it was set up as a currency, it was set up entirely wrong. There is a capped amount of bitcoin, and over time bitcoin will dissapear. That means a smaller supply will represent equal value (well not really, since it isn't backed by anything), meaning it's deflationary.

    Deflationary assets are by definitions bad currency and great investments.

  • A big feature AND problem with the live-service market is that gamers STAY engaged with the games. The majority of players play your random RTS for a few weeks, maybe a month, and then move on. But these live service hero shooters keep pumping out content to keep players invested and build in a ton of engagement sinks so you won't leave.

    As a result, you can't have "The next Marvel Rivals" like you had "The next Command and Conquer" or "The next Battlefield", because everyone is still playing the current Marvel Rivals. That results in a completely saturated market. If you want a player, you're going to have to drag them away from their current game, which they're comfortable with and have a massive investment in.

    If you're releasing the next Assassin's Creed, you don't need to be amazing, you just need to wait for people to finish the last one and deliver something pretty nice. Maybe it's better, maybe it's worse, but the field is empty so who cares. For Live-Service, you don't just need to be better than the rest, you need to be sufficiently better that all the players are willing to abandon their huge investment in the other game and switch to you.

    And well, your game might dissapear any second, while their game has been around for years and surely will stay around foreeeever.
