  Alright, valid, you’re right, the presented limiting factor in the meme is in fact the SoL and not actually man’s ability to reach it. I concede, cheers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨God is a dick.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Except that a large point of my comment is pointing out the hubris of man, so it’s important to note that ants are not hyperintelligent. The organize and build, but there is a finite limitation to their capability, at least in this any known previous state of their evolution. Like that we are the most intelligent thing on our little planet doesn’t imply to me that we are not effectively to scale with ants on the cosmic level.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨God is a dick.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course, but I’m trying work within the established framework of the meme here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨God is a dick.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It does sort of feel like we’re in the butthole of universes, doesn’t it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨God is a dick.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you believe that the wide expanses of our planet Earth were crafted for the common ant to explore?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even his doctors are full of it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, that is exactly what I meant. Cheers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even his doctors are full of it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I never said stop reporting, I said stop acting surprised. I don’t want them to stop talking about it, I just want them to be honest about it and say “Trump lied about this today” instead of “the Trump white house thinks…”

  I just want them to call a spade a spade instead of acting like it’s not

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even his doctors are full of it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  We have to stop reporting on Trump lies like they’re shocking.

  Yeah dude, the lying liar lied.

  Literally every time this dude opens his mouth he is either lying or spewing hate. Sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, so will Trump lie.

  Nah, one of the major entitlement epidemics of our time absolutely deserves that level of ire. Keep your fucking dogs at homes or stay at the dog park.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Max pulling THIS shit every time I finish watching Last Week Tonight⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s another HBO-sponsored newstainment show focusing on politics. Don’t get me wrong, fuck Bill Maher, I understand why you’re bothered, but from a programming standpoint it absolutely makes sense that this would be the next aligned recommendation.

  Did Mark Wahlberg hate crime all the bees to death?

  It’s definitely not a pipe

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I dunno. Frankly they’re both absolutely pantheon, legendary games that deliver a near-perfect gaming experience, but I feel like Portal 1 delivered a kind of tighter package where Portal 2 meanders just a little bit, and while Wheatley is still brilliant I’m not sure I he hit the same way or struck the same tone as GlaDOS. But we’re talking about like nanometers of difference in quality here either way as both games are goddamn stellar.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  East Coast USA, born and raised and lived in all my life. So no, not Australian.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I play almost every genre (minimal interest in sports games, admittedly), and my favorite changes all the time. But in general, here are some of my all-time top games:

  Final Fantasy Tactics

  Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel (people who think BL2 is better than TPS are wrong)

  Spider-Man (PS4)

  Hades

  Civilization 6

  Weird that we’re still out here just casually using Nazis in memes as if they weren’t Nazis.

  Maybe… Don’t?

  Sounds like they’re doing something right

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you want to learn how to work from home make sure you learn from an expert⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This reminds me of the proliferation of content creators who make content advising content creators. Like if you had the tips for success wouldn’t you just be successful rather than barely scraping by? It feels like there are more of these content coaches than non-coach content creators these days

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The past 18 months have seen the most rapid change in human written communication ever⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I am not saying the two are equally comparable, but I wonder if the same “most rapid change in human written communication” could also have been said with the proliferation of computer-based word processors equipped with spelling and grammar checks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The past 18 months have seen the most rapid change in human written communication ever⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The reason chatgpt would recommend Nike though is because of its human-based training data. This means that for most humans the Nike ad campaign would also be the first suggestion to come to mind.

  I’m not saying LLMs aren’t having an impact, or denying that said impact is negative, but the way people talk about them is infuriating because it just displays a lack of understanding or forethought on how these systems work.

  People always talk about how they can tell something “sounds like chatgpt” or, as is the case here, is the default chatgpt answer, while ignoring the only reason it would be so is because of the real human patterns which it is mimicking.

  Brief caveats: of course chatgpt is wildly fallible and when producing purely generative content it pulls from nowhere because it’s just remixing unrelated sources, but for things within the normal course of discussion and output chatgpt’s output is vastly more human-like than we want to pretend.

  I would almost guarantee that Nike’s “just so it” was the singularly most popular answer to this kind of assignment before chatgpt existed too.

  Bring back the days when you assumed the internet was dangerous waters unless specified safe instead of the other way around.

  Yes, actual typos. LLMs don’t perform spell checks. Yes, they can “spell check” you input, but that isn’t what is actually happening. It’s all predictive text, and if they’ve learned to predict that the appropriate word in this context in 98% of cases is Minnesota, but since their dataset includes real human errors, it’s not unrealistic that they the LLM could also conclude that the appropriate word in 2% of cases is “Minneosta” instead, which means given enough output variables the misspelling will appear.

  Again, I have personally had LLMs generate output with typos, not just factual errors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please allow ads! JK, you need to subscribe, too! LOL⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  100% this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please allow ads! JK, you need to subscribe, too! LOL⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t though. Because AI was trained on human data, it contains and can replicate human errors. Its extremely rare yes, especially compared to real human output, but I have personally seen ai make misspellings and other human-like errors in its output.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please allow ads! JK, you need to subscribe, too! LOL⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve said it before, but news companies and magazines like this deserve some of the blame for the proliferation of “fake news.” Monetary needs or not, when they lock legitimate reporting behind paywalls that simply guarantees people are going to get their news from “free” sources instead.

  I understand the need for revenue, but another solution should have been found that didn’t effectively turn facts and reality into premium subscription content.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leo knew it was a joke and laughed because it was just a joke⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There is validity to this argument, certainly, but we are not talking about a social moral defined solely by legality, we are discussing a case where legality was defined within the confines of social expectation.

  Legality is not inherently morality, but it can be an indicator of social morals.

  There will be times when they are at odds, but I have yet to hear a compelling case in this situation.

  So I ask, why social harm is being caused by defining adulthood at 18? And let’s be clear, I am looking for actual harm here, not potential for harm; going through a dangerous intersection is not the same thing as experiencing a car accident.
