Jebus that’s awful. OpenAI took away his friend.

Honestly, cringy nomenclature aside, this is just porn that got a little too real. Some people are into the narrative, after all.
To me the story begins and ends with some user that thinks the LLM sounds a little too life-like. Play with these things enough, and they’ll crawl out of the uncanny valley a bit from time to time. Trick is: that’s all in your head. Yeah, it might screw up your goon session and break the role-play a bit, but it’s not about to go all SkyNet on you.

Yeast is anaerobic, meaning that it doesn’t need access to air to metabolize sugars into CO2. So it’s not gonna stop expanding once down the drain. Add to that the very sticky dough surrounding it, and you basically have a recipe ideal for clogging a sewer drain.

- Comment on Philz Coffee Being Sold to Private Equity Firm for $145 Million, Employees Reportedly Getting Screwed Out of Their Stock 1 week ago:
One time, I had my shares reduced in value when my employer sold. I didn’t know they could just write them off at $0.
I suppose it could be argued that, as an “investment” stock’s value (even pre-IPO) is fungible and not guaranteed. Still, this smells like theft.

IIRC, there were human survivors and hold-outs, but not many. Consequently, the vampire’s numbers were also rather small in turn. It was all a slow-moving apocalypse.
Really, it’s only just good enough of a backdrop for some really solid gameplay, set-pieces, and great voice-acting (well, for Soul Reaver anyway).
- Comment on Anon plays Skyrim 1 week ago:
also the Empire had a space program
Easily one of the best unintentional “easter eggs” I’ve seen in a video game.

Meanwhile, in Legacy of Kain:
Vampires: Uh, boss? You corrupted the pillars of Nosgoth - which is great and all - but now the sun kinda/sorta doesn’t work anymore. It’s always dusk.
Kain: So what you’re saying is that we vampires can move around freely. All the time.
Vampires: Won’t that eventually kill all the humans? Yanno, with no food and all?
Kain: ::shrugs:: Fuck 'em.

And I took no offense: we’re good! And yes, these events are front-row seats for epic people-watching. The logistics make no sense, the vibes are sheer chaos, nobody is really prepared to take care of themselves for a few days straight, and these nightcrawlers just bring the strange in droves. it’s wonderful.
- Comment on Something to think about 1 week ago:
Pretty much. I mean, we all need space and time to be stupid, now and again.
- Comment on Anon starts to believe 1 week ago:
Of course not. You can’t monetize nature all that directly, so clearly it’s not “better”. /s

advertisers prove that they are absolute scumbags
I honestly didn’t believe that until, one day, a scumbag came calling with a ‘brilliant IT idea’ that only myself and my colleagues could build. I’ll put it this way: we realized that this guy would literally not stop until he covered the entire world with advertising, as though we were supposed to live in an environment modeled after a college dorm corkboard. No thanks.

I was gonna say. It’s Eastern Europe. That’s like free bus passes for UK residents if they complain about the weather.

I think it all starts with asking the crowd. Once people catch on that’s something we all do, collectively, moving those discussions to a community is the next natural step.

Dozing off in my tent at a burn. Recalling the warm hugs and conversation from other partygoers tripping the light fantastic. My belly full of the wonderful food people brought just to share. The greasy bass of airport-noise-levels of dubstep lulling me to sleep.
- Comment on what video game deserves to be in a museum? 1 week ago:
On the home-gamer gameplay side, this is a solid list. On the technology side, I think there’s even more that makes sense for a curated museum tour. There were big leaps made in arcade tech through the 80’s and 90’s that were pushing all manner of graphics and sound, head-and-shoulders above the previous generation.
Sega’s “super scaler” boards come to mind, allowing for games like Hang-on, Outrun, and After Burner. Digitized sound samples started with Sinistar and Tempest. Dragon’s Lair amazed everyone with an interactive LaserDisc experience. There were also notable forays into AR with Time Traveler, and VR with Virutality. Lastly, we have the fully-enclosed and immersive cockpit of early Battletech simulators.

sharp exhale You’re probably right.
Is there some version of Occam’s Razor where “enshitification” is the most likely answer?
- Comment on Slurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp 2 weeks ago:
Exactly. This implementation makes no sense. Unless the logos are animated, need to change frequently, or supposed to show advertising (I hope not), a backlit plastic label would do the same job just fine. In fact, that has done the same job for decades at this point.

Bad news is “bios crash” has no real flavor and every sip is just raw brain freeze.

This is exactly like the pearl-clutching we had back in the 1980’s around D&D and music lyrics. At least we moved the goalpost from satanic panic and thinly-veiled racism, over to “art that features sexual expression I don’t understand.”
If history is any indicator, their actions are only going to increase awareness of this kind of stuff.

Yeah. Good news is that’s more than enough money for the rest of your life. Bad news is: that might not be for very long.

Had me in the first half. Nice hack. Why rewrite reality when you can just send one person to the mirror universe?

To be fair, I’ve had IBS that was exactly that disorienting. No need for magic on that one.
