  I mean, they listen sometimes. But the point is, they, as any other company, were doing it to pretend that they are cool and progressive. As the result they got mostly negative reactions. So why bother with the effort if you’re only gonna reduce your already dwindling player base. IIRC, they were very small symbolic events anyway.

  I’m pretty sure this happened because sooo many players complained about the event the last times. I remember boycotts and stuff.

  I’m not saying Jagex isn’t bad, but this time it’s on players.

  In my experience, when using reasoning models, it can count, but not very consistently. I’ve tried random assortments of letters and it can count them correctly sometimes. It seems to have much harder time when the same letter repeats many times, perhaps because those are tokenized irregularly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AGI achieved 🤖⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know what part of what I said prompted all those downvotes, but of course all the reasonable people understood, that the “AGI in 2 years” was a stock price pump.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AGI achieved 🤖⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I get the meme aspect of this. But just to be clear, it was never fair to judge LLMs for specifically this. The LLM doesn’t even see the letters in the words, as every word is broken down into tokens, which are numbers. I suppose with a big enough corpus of data it might eventually extrapolate which words have which letter from texts describing these words, but normally it shouldn’t be expected.

  That’s nice. But it already seemed pretty accurate to me.

  Yeah, I have it on Vita, Switch and Steam Deck. Cause why not. Wonder if it’s on 3DS…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who did this 😂😂😂⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Same, but then you severely undersold how old you are. Like, where’s the Space Cadet, at least?

  I might have seen it once a long time ago, but I don’t remember what he sounded like, so I can’t confirm that for you.

  Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today is June 1st, the start of Pride Month. This scene from "Blood Oath" weighs heavily on my mind.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If we are being pedantic, Trills are a bad analogy for transsexuals. Every new Trill host is a brand new person with only the memories (with some extras) of the previous hosts. This distinction is emphasized in several episodes. So while Klingons are rather hyper-traditionalists, they can’t really complain about a person having another person’s memories.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At least Quark had some integrity.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I honestly don’t see this changing any time soon because there are biological incentives behind both stereotypes. And, anecdotally, my gf (40+) will pout if in some context I refer to her as a woman, and be like “noooo, I’m a girl… :(”. Semi-jokingly, of course, but only semi.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At least Quark had some integrity.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Stereotypically, women always strive to look as young as possible, so calling one a girl can be seen as a compliment. While men, stereotypically strive to appear mature, hence calling one a boy can be considered an insult.
