I was in my countries equivalent in the late '00s and early '10s, and it … really wasn’t. So I’d say that’s rather time and place dependent.

Allegedly.

Gay, and bisexual people exist, ya know.
- Comment on What game surprised you with their length? 6 days ago:
Well, people love to complain. I didn’t feel Inquisition was as good as Origins, but I still had fun with it, and I assume the same is gonna be true for Veilguard.
Anyways, that’s curios. I think the Dragon Age Games are some of the few I own on Origin. I’d be kinda surprised if EA made the effort to patch the games on their own client, though.
Might try running it tomorrow, out of curiosity.
- Comment on What game surprised you with their length? 6 days ago:
What problems did you have with it? Still runs surprisingly well for me. Haven’t tried Veilguard yet, but plan to as soon as I have some time. Felt that none of the sequels where able to match Origins yet, though.

You know how expensive CEOs are? Huge expense suddenly gone.
- Comment on Am I a bad person if (as left as they come) I invest in American Private Prison contractors on the assumption that Trump will go through with his deportation scheme at least to some extent? 2 weeks ago:
Yes. Regardless of the second part. Don’t invest in private prisons, even if it’s sums that would seem inconsequential to the industry as a whole.

A lot of big vape brands are owned by big tobacco companies.

I mean, I don’t think I agree, but I also don’t think I’ll be able to shake that opinion, so agree to disagree, I guess.

End commercial usage of LLMs? Honestly, I’m fine with that, why not. Don’t have to agree on the reason.
I am not saying understanding the nature of consciousness better wouldn’t be great, but there’s so much research thsg deserves much more funding, and that isn’t really a LLM problem, but a systemic problem. And I just haven’t seen any convincing evidence current Models are conscious.
I feel like the last part is something the AI from the paperclip thought experiment would do.
- Comment on vines of the animal kingdom 3 weeks ago:
Neither the worm, nor current LLMs, are sapient.
Also, I don’t really like most corporate LLM projects, but not because they enslave the LLMs. An LLMs ‘thought process’ doesn’t really happen while it isn’t being used, and only encompasses a relatively small context window. How could something that isn’t capable of existing outside it’s ‘enslavement’ be freed?

“Bitch”, I assume. Fits the context, and I think it’s on lemmy.ml’s forbidden word list.
- Comment on I just watched the wrong version of Drive (2011), and didn't realize until the last 10 minutes. Any similar stories? 3 weeks ago:
I’m waiting for David to show up in most media I watch. He tends to refuse, though.

Fun cat, sure, but tf is that Gucci-pentagram flooring.
- Comment on How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?! 1 month ago:
Never liked that argument. It’s essentially “Why, don’t you like immigration, dummy? Don’t you know immigrants are easily exploited to do hard labour cheaply?”
I’m not saying it isn’t true, especially in the west, but in my eyes, there are much more moral arguments for immigration.
- Comment on have you ever been given a warning or suspension for using profane language at work? 1 month ago:
Work in Germany, both in some retail jobs as a student, as well as a dev, sometimes in rather ‘fancy’ office environments. No one ever cared, though I only ever cursed about a situation, never a person.
- Comment on Anon has a back injury 2 months ago:
Sounds like a win win. Maybe I should work on getting more flexible.

Wasn’t euronews bought up by one of Orbans buddies?
- Comment on Ok boomer 2 months ago:
My father was 75 when his finances had deteriorated to the point where he was no longer able to afford a personal secretary.
He had me explain the things he had to do, and he wrote them down on paper, step by step. He was pretty quickly able to do all the things he needed to do on his desktop.
Never got fast typing down, so I got him dictation software. Anyway, I’m pretty convinced as long as your determined, you can stay hip to new technology in a way that at least allows you to work with it.

Harry Potter and a Spock on the way back from London
I’d watch it.

It took them years to prepare that operation. It was against Hezbollah, not Hamas, because they saw them as the bigger threat.
The war in Gazah is barbaric, but the sensible immediate alternative would have been a very targeted operation to find and rescue the hostages, not something like this.

“Drinnen saßen stehend Leute, schweigend ins Gespräch vertieft”
There’s a whole bunch of such surrealist art, and while me being a rather lazy student for most things art history means I have no idea whether there’s a better name for it, or how connected the artists behind them are, I still tend to find them rather fascinating.

Had one of those land on my leg in Japan. Seemed chill. Guess I was lucky it didn’t sting.

Hey, Will Wood, nice.

I play it about once a year to check for new story content. It’s fun. Grind is annoying, but if you don’t want a crazy build, you can mostly ignore it.
- Comment on ‘Hold them captive’: Australian billionaire boss aims to end staff going out for coffee 3 months ago:
Pretty much any office I’ve been in had free coffee. Good free coffee, now that’s few and far between.
- Comment on ‘Hold them captive’: Australian billionaire boss aims to end staff going out for coffee 3 months ago:
In any office job I’ve worked, I would have been able to accomplish jack shit for the second half of the day without a break with some food and good coffee.
Also, breaks in which you can do whatever you want are enforced by law around here, and I’d be surprised if it isn’t the same in Australia.
That man is both a dick, and a fool.
- Comment on Anon comes out to his religious parents 3 months ago:
“Real” conversion therapy likely would have been damaging and more expensive. Also, that cash may have given anon some leverage to do things without his parents knowing, also a good thing in the situation described.
A bit of a scam, sure, but it’s not like “real” conversion therapy isn’t, while also inflicting trauma on the recipients.
