Hahaha, of course.

You know, I was dragged into seeing episode 9 against my will (I was fine with it), and that movie, like… actually pissed me off. I was legit getting whiplash from all the location changes.

Yeah.

I don’t mean to attack lore as a concept, by the way. Lore is art all the same.

I just don’t like the way that some people hyperfixate on it so much that an artist trying to do something new, risky, or interesting becomes basically impossible.

People will get stuck on details so much that they end up choking their favorite works to death without even realizing it. As a broad example, I would point to Star Wars.

Uhh, maybe.

I do think that the over-emphasis of lore in media as important detracts somewhat from the thematic and narrative content. In some cases, I think it borders on illiteracy.

I guess whether hiring one is a solution or not just depends on how insufferable he finds listening to these people.

The Insulting unrealistic O2 meter.

You’ve got to be over 50. I have only ever heard dads and grandpas complain about mechanics that are clearly meant to introduce conflict and tension.

We’re not talking about ubermensch vs the diseased here. Everyone has tendencies, and what AI does is exacerbate them. That’s what AI psychosis is.

I had it draft a response to the person asking questions; I tuned it a little to my liking and sent it.

Gemini, remind me not to ask blargh any questions.

Also, Gemini, my daughter is asking for someone to play with her. Can you run around with the feather wand and have her chase it or something?

The only point of interest is that the states and the federal disagree?

Okay, real question, if prohibition on drugs doesn’t matter, why all the hubbub about states legalizing weed years back? “Prohibition doesn’t work, anyway,” so who cares?

It’s also not the apocalypse […] It’s just a tool.

So, the problem with tools is that their existence still affects the systems they’re a part of.

For instance, war between the US and Russia is much more dangerous now (yes, it used to be dangerous before as well) because now we have nuclear bombs. We did a whole cold war thing about it. Nuclear bombs change the world even when they’re not being used.

Similarly, meth is just a tool. It is entirely possible to smoke meth, not become addicted, have a great time, vacuum your entire house I guess, come down, chill, and move on with the rest of your life. But, that’s not what we would say meth’s effect on society is, is it?

I am so happy that you are capable of using AI without becoming a psychopath. I am concerned about the psychopaths.

Understand what? That you have a robot girlfriend you don’t want to give up? That you would burn the world down for Her.

You know, human love is just a biochemical response to external stimuli, I’m sure there’s a drug that can replace it.

Yes, of course. Monte Carlo killed my father.

You know what the problem is? You think that you’re too smart to be caught with a meth addiction. See, your neighbor got fucked up, lost a bunch of his teeth, but you, you know about microdosing.

Your other neighbor fell off a construction site that was missing its guard rails, but that wouldn’t happen to you; you have excellent balance.

The movie Jurassic Park is literally about people like you.

Do you have a reason to restrict Gaussian mixture models you’d like to give me, or are we just pissing in the same bush?

I know. I am perfectly capable of reading more than one comment.

zd9, you are aware that AI is making things worse, you say so yourself, and yet you feel the unsatable need to stand here bitching that no one understands your unique, special use case. For what?

I. Do. Not. Give. A. Fuck. that academics are using machine learning to solve problems. That is their business. <- Is that what you wanted? There you go.

Ooh, that’s sounds cool. Yeah, I’ll look at the third one then.

I really like Etrian’s artstyle. I really should get around to playing it.

I think I’m piggy-backing off of something you’re not talking about, I’m not sure. But I wanted to say it anyway.

The phrase “did you think anybody here wants to hear about instagram” isn’t just a personal reaction,

People say things like this when what they mean is “I don’t want to hear about Instagram” all the time. If you’re listening for it, you can pick language like this out near constantly. It’s really, really dishonest, and it drives me crazy.

A person won’t say “I didn’t like this movie,” but they will say “this movie is bad” because they know the second one gets taken more seriously. They effortlessly move a subjective opinion into the objective, and this is where, like, 90% of arguments about media stem from.

People are constantly embellishing their opinions to seem more important than they are, and I really wish they would stop treating the public consensus like a game of King of the Hill.

That’s not to say that speaking for a crowd is always a bad thing, but god do people abuse it.

AI is just an accelerant for a sick hypercapitalist society that is doomed to collapse.

I had, like, a bunch of paragraphs lined up because I thought you didn’t understand this. But as it turns out, you seem to be perfectly okay with the world being raped to death.

I hope your academic field is entertaining, at least.

Please, BBC!
AI can summarize emails!
Don’t take this away from me!
I can’t summarize as fast as it can!

Aww, haha.
I guess I can’t really help, but I appreciate you. :p

Also, I was looking at your comment history because I was curious what kind of person you were. That guy activating his yugioh trap card and calling you a pedophile because you flippantly said 12-years and not 19 or whatever he wanted is so fucking funny. It didn’t even make sense. That was like watching a bird glide into a glass window.

Why did you post this twice? It was just that good?

I’m sorry that your favourite comedian is unlikeable. Better luck next time.

He said that he was on team terf, like JK Rowling, because trans people were too annoying not to be.

Look, I get it, Dave Chappelle was cool circa 2000, but he’s fucking lame now. I’m not going to pretend that this cowardly, always pissing and moaning about cancel culture, has-been comedian is worth spending any of my time on. If he wanted to come back and be as well liked as he used to be, he should have been funny.
