No, you probably don’t remember the crappy ones from when you were a kid, but they were there. Survivorship bias.

What? That isn’t what I said at all.

I’m not suggesting it should be at all. Not sure how you got that from my comment. I liked the Witcher 3, honestly, but it isn’t a game about freedom and it shouldn’t be imo. It tells character focused stories well, which is harder to do the more choice you give the player.

I feel like the kind of “freedom” players want from an RPG is somewhat inconsistent with playing as a specific character, i.e. Geralt. For me, I want to be my own character and decide who they are and what they do. I never really got on with Geralt because I don’t want to be a moody medieval jedi, I’d much rather be a whimsical wizard or something.

Oh damn I did not know Vihart was still going! Tis a good day.

Yeah, it's just back exactly to the problem the article points out - refined bullshit is still bullshit. You still need to teach your LLM how to talk, so it still needs that cast bullshit input into its "base" before you feed it the "grounding" or whatever… And since it doesn't actually understand any of that grounding it's just yet more bullshit.

Tbf if you're used to the ol' emoticons its muscle memory in a way that emojis can't be because your frequently used ones are always moving (at least on my phone).

All you need to do to avoid content filters is make it not machine readable.

The inside is also all appliances lol.

I have a sneaking suspicion that if she had two vaginas she might have realised somewhere before child number 4.

I sometimes have a weird issue with my laptop WiFi where it intermittently drops speed to 0 without disconnecting… Network troubleshooter always fixes it despite the fact I never can lol.

Although I haven't tried much, I feel like the expert badges can bring some of that challenge at least, no?

Doesn't the bag lasting longer suggest it picks up less dirt? My vacuum cleaner needs emptying every one or two times around the house, if it didn't I would be concerned it wasn't actually cleaning the floor.

Even better because you don't need to feed it when you aren't riding it

Gamers lose when the store shuts down and you lose access to all of the games you got for free, or worse actually paid for.

Assembly is a scrapheap with every sort of technology imaginable but it's all broken. Could be an iron man suit, or you could just grab a length of rebar.

Learnéd Machines

Machine Learning is such a better name. It describes what is happening - a machine is learning to do some specific thing. In this case to take text and output pictures… It's limited by what it learned from. It learned from arrays of numbers representing colours of pixels, and from strings of text. It doesn't know what that text means, it just knows how to translate it into arrays of numbers… There is no intelligence, only limited learning.

In general making classification more sensitive will increase your false positive rate, and making it less sensitive will increase your false negative rate. Neither is preferable! The question is whether you consider the cost of a false positive or negative to be higher… I think most would argue that a false negative is far worse if that allows a child/children to be harmed. Consequently, if you are erring on the side of convicting more people, you should also err on the side of "not maiming those people" because the chances are some of them are innocent.

Even if "eliminate Hamas" is the response, forcing the entire population out and bombing the whole fucking place is not the only way.

Doubly so, because if you kill and/or displace hundreds of thousands of civilians, how many of those do you think will remain civilians, and how many will subsequently be bolstering the numbers of Hamas?
