That's not what Jesus meant, you dummy genius.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Found while reupholstering car bought from police auction. Plan on buying some DDR5 Ram⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:
I see a $20 and a bunch of $1s, you should turn that into the police.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gone but not forgotten⁩ ⁨⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:
You might be right. In doing a little more searching around (read that as brute forcing Google to do what I'm asking it to do after numerous tries) all I find of that kind of logo with XP seems to be either wallpapers, which are automatically suspect, and a few that call themselves "90s style" which infer they are made in the 95/98 style vs. the real XP. So yeah, probably.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gone but not forgotten⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:
I think it stayed similar from 95 - 98 - XP. Some XP started to show a 3D version, but there's the flat simpler one out there too.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come there has never been a second WPA enacted by Roosevelt? Did it not help America by leaps and bounds?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
That's the role of the National Guard, and they do incredible work. My brother was in it when they went from our state to help with Katrina.

But he also got sent to Iraq, which questioned the point of having a domestic force which can be used for any purpose the elites want.

So yes, imagine if all this money was diverted to domestic use, local aid, and sciences like NASA. Wow.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come there has never been a second WPA enacted by Roosevelt? Did it not help America by leaps and bounds?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
World War Two made unemployment virtually zero, so it was discontinued, and that phase of America lasted a while, so it would fall on someone decades later with lots of other issues to tackle as well.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨trap⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
I see now. Sort of did the same thing on desktop, looking for the second part of the image, but it's not as obvious that way than on mobile.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
The Moller skycar was a beautiful dream, but there's too many problems and moving individual transport into the air is a disastrous idea.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨trap⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Guessing the part 2 is the punchline, but the answer is that a trap isn't openly exposed. Which might go along with the punchline, whatever it was.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone actually believe this "rogue AI" nonsense?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
So, serious question. Do you think they're all in it together to make AI look smart, or is he trying to make OpenAI seem like the more irresponsible company for security? Or maybe it's a legit organization set up when there was lots of talk about safety?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come back in the day a person could download or pirate books till their hearts content, but one movie and your ISP would give you a DMCA notice? Why no DMCA with the books?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Detection - books are far smaller in size

Lawyer cost - the ISP only does it when they get a notice, which is costing someone money. Studios have far more money to work wi... oh, wait, that's right, studios are going bankrupt from the piracy, so I guess the lawyers for them are pro bono.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone actually believe this "rogue AI" nonsense?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
That's a lot of background "lore" to make a marketing ploy seem realistic. I mean, I'm thinking hmmm too, but for wondering about the redacted stuff.

I mean, anyone convinced it's only marketing and the tech has no potential for doing stuff isn't going to believe anyone, but there was lots of information to look through.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone actually believe this "rogue AI" nonsense?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Either is plausible. One requires more competence than the other. That's how I lean, as I expect bad decisions and cost cutting to get a product out and make the investors happy from the corporate world. A high level conspiracy to make it look like that... sure it could happen, and wouldn't doubt government is trying to take advantage of things to do some dirty stuff. But as a planned curtain or smoke screen? This is the US government, and it's under and been gutted by one of the worst admins ever.

The twist was that you were doing it right. But now your confidence is shattered.

That's a pretty serious engine light, looks like it might be blinking. Must be from a mis...fire.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Driving Game Players Are Burning Through So Many Tokens Its Developer Had to Take Out a Bank Loan to Keep It Running⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Exactly, that's just smart programming (maybe that's one of the issues... but I can't say that without evidence).

I saw someone years ago develop that concept for a text to speech idea for NPC responses, and for the same reasons. Why repay for something when you can just capture the sound file for each new phrase? The cost is in the creation and addition of things, not in the actual running of every person's game (or app in this case).
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Driving Game Players Are Burning Through So Many Tokens Its Developer Had to Take Out a Bank Loan to Keep It Running⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
For just simple and guided actions and dialogue, local would be fine for this. Or better, have AI design the large database of what to say or do when a player does things. No need to reinvent what players are going to duplicate. The token cost was worse when you consider all the same stuff being prompted over and over.

I have. Sometimes boring has a weird attraction.

A transistor is on or off. It's all if-then.

The human brain is far too complex to understand

it's just meat
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With all the bad stuff said about AI can it actually better humanity in some ways or another? Or is it just doom and gloom?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I get your point, but it rests on me having said the data centers will replace all humans, so it's either/or. It's going to be both, even with reduction in human work force replaced by AI, there will still be people doing people things as well as AI running. And the energy costs! So if AI doesn't consume that much energy comparably, why are some of them trying to get dedicated nuclear plants?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With all the bad stuff said about AI can it actually better humanity in some ways or another? Or is it just doom and gloom?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
If you put aside the ethics of how AI got to this level and the environmental costs for mainly doing things humans could have done, the next problem is who is in charge of how it's used. So now that we're here, the potentials could be good in a few aspects, but power-hungry humans are at the controls, so that's a big part of the doom and gloom of it being used for worse things, or just misused in general which is what we mostly see.

AI overall (the large grouping that includes but isn't just LLMs) is a tool, and tools used for good purposes can make big differences. LLMs even have their specific uses that make sense, but that's been totally overblown and stuffed into every conceivable place, often breaking because it's the wrong tool for the job and was sold to gullible idiots.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yeah, It's Addiction⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
You know what's worse than oxygen addiction?

Dihydrogen monoxide addiction. We're all literally in it before we're even born. Never had a chance.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slash.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
To be fair, fanfic doesn't have to be about alternate relationships. It can be just fixing the studio/corporate butchering of a working lore, or going in directions that are legit but aren't interesting enough for movie/TV writers. And some of the fanfic crowds are VERY particular about consistency.

Fanfic for Star Wars prequels is pretty incredible. What could have been. And sure, that includes relationships.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where did I go wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Agreed. Not because she's as fascinated by it, although that would be a plus. But she should be enjoying the time with you, seeing what makes you excited. If that doesn't attract her, move on.

Be sure to do the same for her interests also. You don't have to be captivated by her hobbies or knowledge of something, but you should like watching her explain it to you.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where did I go wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
No, if you're covering just the main stuff you aren't properly discussing the lore. Everything has a rabbit hole that needs exploring. Side topics are where the real information is.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I became the next president how would I go about getting the illegally detained people under Trump freedom? Would I need congress?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
The worst part is that there are no records of some of this. We don't know where some of these people have been taken.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Burger King breakfast sandwich- no scrambled egg?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Burger King used to have griddles. Worked it myself, long ago. Even served a breakfast platter of scrambled eggs and bacon, and making the eggs for the sandwiches was an art form to get it perfect. Probably when they went downhill in the 2000s they got rid of all that stuff. Just like when Pizza Hut went from actually mixing pan dough to frozen. Damn, that stuff was good.
