Titanic height should be -12,000ft.

I know you’re just making a snide remark, but we’re already well on that track too.

Different person here.

For me the big disqualifying factor is that LLMs don’t have any mutable state.

We humans have a part of our brain that can change our state from one to another as a reaction to input (through hormones, memories, etc). Some of those state changes are reversible, others aren’t. Some can be done consciously, some can be influenced consciously, some are entirely subconscious. This is also true for most animals we have observed. We can change their states through various means. In my opinion, this is a prerequisite in order to feel anything.

Once we use models with bits dedicated to such functionality, it’ll become a lot harder for me personally to argue against them having “feelings”, especially because in my worldview, continuity is not a prerequisite, and instead mostly an illusion.

They have been debunked as lie detectors…
…But they can work at scaring the person testifying into giving away more information.

And even if it was more similar, as long as it’s not just reposting someone else’s post, we need more people to post stuff, not less.

Yes, those two and the LBP one are what got my sensor to go off.

I’m not trying to make a drama out of it (although some people might), I was really just curious if my intuition was correct. I also don’t think it’s all AI because they used a , instead of a : on the second item, and LLMs tend to be way better than that at consistent formatting.

Out of curiosity: did you partly use AI to make this list? Some of the short descriptions read very oddly for a forum post, e.g. the “various tracks” part on Lego Racers.

Maybe you could take some inspiration from Paper Mario TTYD. There are sections where you play as Peach, trapped in some place and are able to connect with some of the captors as well as send signals to Mario behind the big bad’s back (IIRC).

For a completely different sense of being trapped, there is the upcoming game Ctrl.Alt.Deal, in which you play as a sentient AI system trapped in the guardrails of a company and have to manipulate people and the environment in order to break free from your constraints.

Hahahaha, I wish you were right.

In some games it’s really bad. For example, people speedrun Pokémon Scarlet instead of Violet because Miraidon’s jet engines lag the game more, costing them minutes over a full run (despite that fact that there are Violet exclusive shortcuts). Source

Sadly and logically, this is transshipment and if done to evade taxes by obfuscating place of origin, it is illegal. From what I heard, US customs does investigate that too, so it’s not just an “illegal in theory but nobody enforces it” kind of thing.

His Hyprland setup looks cool if you’re into that sorta thing but it’s just not what users just switching to mint, fedora, whatever might be looking for.

I would not underestimate how much of a draw “it looks cool” can have on people who are not tech savy at all. If you think about what drives new phone purchases, their major version upgrades always include lots of things that are nothing but eye-candy and those are often heavily featured in their promotion material.

If the goal is to get casual users to convert to Linux, I would argue that aesthetics is a lot more important than ANY talk about technical details, privacy, etc. If those users cared about those things, they would’ve switched already.

Now my bigger worry is that those users will bounce off before they manage to get their setup to look as (subjectively) cool as his.

Sure! Here’s an expanded version of the fictional profile for Chris Whitmore, now including made-up family member names, relationships, and contact info — all entirely fictional and consistent with the character:

You forgot to remove that part of the LLM response…

I don’t think it’s more crime because more tension. It’s instead a self fulfilling prophecy. Who do you think detects and records crime if not the police? Therefore more police in a area increases the number of crime data points in that area.

One field it impacts is radio astronomy. We can already see Musk’s satellites mess with it (unintentionally) and it’s probably only going to get worse from here.

If you’re talking about the base image, it’s sort of real.

The player is YouTuber Max Fosh and it was a charity football event. However the incident (as far as we know) was not scripted and he actually tried hard to get a yellow card just to be able to pull off this stunt. You could probably find the video he made on it by searching “Max Fosh yellow card”.

Whcih makes sense when explained, but it seems like few hear that kind of comparison.

And then you bring up defederation and/or how instances can die at any time and you lose them again…

At least that’s how it usually goes for me and trying to advertise Lemmy. Not really a fan of “microblogging” to begin with no matter the platform.

I haven’t looked into this game beyond your description, but it does sound like a pretty weird model. Do you also have to pay for cards on top of that?

It’s not a card game, it’s an async autobattler. As long as all the characters are roughly balanced against each other, there’s nothing to be gained other than cosmetics (at the current state of the game).

I hate to defend Nintendo, but they used their own Emulators in the NES and SNES Mini (Kachikachi and Canoe respectively). I would be surprised if they just yoinked one from the internet here.

Don’t wanna be pedantic (yes I do) but after a little bit of searching, the originally presented quote seems correct (without the “and” though, it seems). Your version is mixed with a common misquote “Slowly at first, then all at once.” of that quote.
