I always called it a sploof. And walking in on people who had just used it, it does not work at all. But if you’re high it seems like it’s working wonders lol.

This is a really interesting paragraph to me because I definitely think these results shouldn’t be published or we’ll only get more of these “whoopsie” experiments.

At the same time though, I think it is desperately important to research the ability of LLMs to persuade people sooner rather than later when they become even more persuasive and natural-sounding. The article mentions that in studies humans already have trouble telling the difference between AI written sentences and human ones.

Filament died of cringe 😔

Fortunately/unfortunately Lemmy isn’t big enough to move the needle on any of these conservative’s radars. Until it proves that it can influence a significant fraction of their demographic they don’t care.

But hardly a restart simulator. That’s 4 good 2hr+ runs to one unavoidable 15 minute restart (or more likely you losing). That’s a great rate. And as the person above you was pointing out, it’s not that you get a string of unwinnable seeds, you just aren’t good enough at the game yet. If you don’t enjoy losing and retrying with better knowledge and being better at the game then rogue-likes just aren’t for you and that’s fine.

It doesn’t have to be unidentified by the makers. You just need to not be able to identify it.

They can work and be unidentified. There’s no contradictions.

This post is making fun of people who think they’re fixing their life by having “epiphanies” after taking magic mushrooms multiple times a week and then not doing anything about those epiphanies when they’re sober.

41 tb?? What are you doing? Recording a lossless video of a 24/7 live stream?

To be fair, I’m not defending having to beg your boss for time off.

In our world we have a simple choice: work for whoever will hire you, or starve and die on the streets. Barring random and uncontrollable acts of charity or the extremely fortunate situation in which you work for yourself.

Now we could go back and forth on where on the spectrum of “you would be working all day miserably farming if it weren’t for your job” and “you should feel blessed to die of black lung in the coal mines cause at least you got to work” we both lie. But, in a society where the majority of work involves “work or die”, our promises to our bosses are very short periods of indentured servitude in a very hyperbolic sense.

Sure, you can quit at any time only to find another job or be taken to jail (we could go into the criminalization of homelessness), but for most people, you’re working for life.

So to say that the government (or employment contract) mandating that you’re owed days of vacation is an expression of freedom is a far cry from my definition of freedom.

I was certainly being glib and hyperbolic tho

To be fair, having the government mandate how much time you get off for working 40 hours a week is kind of just codifying the indentured servitude you’re under.

Is there any chance that the terrorism charge is so ridiculous that it actually strengthens Luigi’s case and makes his defense better?

As many people say, the horror of the Nazis wasn’t just that they killed so many people, but that they industrialized it, turned it into an inhuman factory process like they were mass-producing shoes.

In a similar way we have modern corporations that have brought neo liberal styles to the idea of murder. Instead of the industrial style of the Nazis, this style serves to alienate the murder from the murderer, putting a price tag on deaths and profiting from the lives they’re destroying all veiled by the size of these companies and the corporate double-speak that places all the lives they have control over into their sterile profit-centered game they play.

It would be funny if everyone in NY just started dressing like this for a few days.

The wisdom of streams is simple.

I do shit with my life other than gaming. If I want to experience a cool game without spending the money and without investing the time to get good at the game, it’s a no-brainer to watch a playthrough done by a professional gamer and a professional live commentator like the best streamers are.

This implies the original lunch was mayo and sardines. 🤢
