Oh yeah, Jezza seems great, from what I know he actively left the Mormon faith and was ostracized by most his family. He uses this experience to be a more empathetic and better person.

All the more sad when Shad tries to claim he’s just as good an artist and Jezza doesn’t have the heart to call him out on it.

Oh it gets worse with Shadiversity. Huge AI art guy, his brother’s an actual artist too so it’s hard seeing Shad brag to him. Very “anti-woke” and paints his conservative Mormon beliefs on everything.

The worst unforgivable part is the end of his book has impregnated rape victims step up to defend the rapist protagonist because he “gave them” a child, while the ones that didn’t get pregnant were jealous.

He loves to bring up that the book is supposed to explore this immoral character. But this isn’t the protagonist’s viewpoint this is just how Shad thinks the world works. This is how Shad believes rape victims think.

Very sad to see, I followed him for swords and castles but Jesus Christ.

There was a brief window after ChatGPT when I had a twinkle in my eye and thought “this is an impressive start, how will they improve it? How will they make it more efficient?”.

That went away when all the tech companies in unison slurred out “make it bigga!” then pushed to production.

I imagine it’s because the attributes that IQ measure could be the same as we use to measure success.

Effectively if your test is based on the skills needed for STEM, and the STEM fields have jobs with high pay and respect, then you’re likely to be considered “successful”. But the same person could be awful at communication, politics, the arts, and just be ignorant at large to how the world works. They may even be hyper specialized to their field but lack the flexibility in their intelligence to understand other STEM fields (I hear physicists are guilty of this).

Another, simpler answer, could just be that already wealthy people have better access to stable education, so they were already successful in many ways.

God you don’t realize how many tiny things you need to buy until you don’t have them.

You’d expect to find something like a ruler, some tape, a pen, sticky notes, ect. but realize you gotta buy them first instead of just searching your clutter drawers.

Don’t know if this has been fixed but Gemini was telling people it’s unethical to teach people C++ or memory management.

Because it’s considered “memory unsafe” but Gemini took it literally and considered it to unsafe to teach.

I used Roll20 matchmaking, guy in that group invited me to another game with their friend.

Been together 4 years and engaged, moved across country, also I isolated myself before so my entire friend group now is from my fiancee.

Original guy ghosted us all in a heartless way, but he’ll forever be the one who introduced me to my new life.

Gemini is weirdly constrained compared to other LLMs, it feels far more like it’s just searching for text that already exists and copy-pasting it. (I have the free trial Gemini Advanced too)

Soo, appropriate for Google I guess? But besides summaries and search it barely feels like an LLM.

Can’t wait for FOSS brain implants, it would still be hellish but a fun kind of hellish.

I want someone like Linus Torvalds to verbally abuse someone for not understanding basic computational neuroscience.

Yeah I love Foundry, but I’m convinced the DM needs technical knowledge to use it. I ran a server for non tech savvy DM and it was like working customer service.

With plenty of investment you can get the tabletop to be almost exactly what you want it to be, and for a popular system like 5e you can make it as automated as a Baldurs Gate game. You just need to download a lot of modules to get there and customize a lot of settings. Without that it just becomes a less intuitive Roll20.

And I must stress from experience, never offer to host/troubleshoot a server for someone else, especially if the DM likes to complain or can’t handle minor technical setbacks.

I’m curious, is there actually so many 42’s in the system? (more than 69 sounds unlikely)

What if the LLM is getting tripped up because 42 is always referred to as the answer to “the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything”.

So you ask it a question like give a number between 1-100, it answers 42 because that’s the answer to “Everything”, according to it’s training data.

Something similar happened to Gemini. Google discouraged Gemini from giving unsafe advice because it’s unethical. Then Gemini refused to answer questions about C++ because it’s considered “unsafe” (referring to memory management). But Gemini thinks C++ is “unsafe” (the normal meaning), therefore it’s unethical. It’s like those jailbreak tricks but from its own training set.

This is typically why education and experience are still needed if you’re self taught.

I know from learning programming that people online don’t explain “common sense” problems. So many times you’ll look up a problem and see people talk about huge refactors or complex niche fixes when in reality you misplaced a single line of code.

I don’t remember many of these from the movie…

On the flipside, if the language is too casual you’d end up with people winning cases by being popular and snarky.

Part of the reason why Trump’s cases have such a high turnover of lawyers. His antics just don’t amuse a judge used to professionalism.

Not saying you don’t have a point. After stuff like bees being classified as fish in California to protect them. It’s clear to see legalese has gone to far.

That’s simultaneously funny and depressing.

I feel the tracking and hunting capabilities of a dog will more than make up for what they need to eat.

Gas will expire eventually and you could just hotwire one of the many abandoned cars anyways, if the roads aren’t blocked by said cars. Bullets will run out unless you find a gun shop, in which case you get guns anyways. Water purifying is easy enough to do without a machine.

My picks would be German Shepherd, Axe, First Aid, and Radio.

There’s a reason we domesticated dogs, they are useful in so many different ways like hunting, defense, and security (and companionship). Especially German Shepherds, you can see the damage they do when used by police.

Axes are survivalist 101 and some are practically multi tools despite being simple.

First Aid because infections, zombie or not, are the real killers throughout history.

The radio’s more of a gamble, but it’s your best chance to find a new settlement, monke strong together and all that. Also you can maybe stay informed on what’s happening in other parts of the country. (And it lets me flex my Amateur Radio License).
