[Very joke] Wait… if I buy the latest fishgame I can get double XP at Little Caesars?! If only I even knew where to buy those things!

Grinning at critters remembering Tribes and Global Agenda ^. Also hoping this one is many funs, though I kinda just wanna play Tribes 2 again and doubt this’ll be much like that.

Thanks for the link. Seems like the place could be easier to find :-\

There’s a difference between using ChatGPT to help you write a paper and having ChatGPT write the paper for you.

Yeah, one is what many “AI” fans insist is what’s happening, and the other is what people actually do because humans are lazy, intellectually dishonest piles of crap. “Just a little GPT,” they say. “I don’t see a problem, we’ll all just use it in moderation,” they say. Then somehow we only see more garbage full of errors; we get BS numbers, references to studies or legal cases or anything else that simply don’t exist, images of people with extra rows of teeth and hands where feet should be, gibberish non-text where text could obviously be… maybe we’ll even get ads injected into everything because why not screw up our already shitty world even more?

So now people have this “tool” they think is simultaneously smarter and more creative than humans at all of the things humans have historically claimed makes them better than not only machines but other animals, but is also “just a tool” that they’re only going to use a little bit, to help out but not replace. They’ll trust this tool to be smarter than they are, which it will arguably impressively turn out to not be. They’ll expect everyone else to accept the costs this incurs, from environmental damage due to running the damn things to social, scientific, economic, and other harms caused by everything being generated by “hallucinating” “AI” that’s incapable of thinking.

It’s all very tiring.

(And now I’m probably going to get more crap for both things I’ve said and things I haven’t, because people are intellectually lazy/dishonest and can’t take criticism. Even more tiring! Bleh.)

I think I disliked your ideas less before I read any of it and just assumed you thought the thing that generates innumerable images of east asian women with huge tits and extra rows of teeth was gonna fly to Luna and harvest huge crops of taquitos for us to eat.

Do we get freedom with it or do we have to double eternal vigilance to get both? 🤔

Joke’s on them, I don’t even see it :D Here, have an upvote!

Unless you brought glue, in which case I’d best waddle away…

Soylent or Joylent or whatever is around now isn’t good enough for you? ;P

Idunno what’s going on here but I’ve got a burning curiosity as to whether this grape store has any lemonade.

Hrrrgghhh routers! The last two I’ve dealt with were a Netgear and an ASUS and… well, at least the ASUS got out of my way relatively quickly? SSH’d in and crammed it full of OpenWRT 😅Did the same to the Netgear but that one fought so hard to force me into using some admin-through-their-website kind of horsecrap that I hate. All’ the docs I wanted/needed were lies, BS, broken links, contradictory… it was a proper mess. I don’t want a singing, dancing bird-robot tweeting all night (to some corp’s servers), just gimme a damn router that’s mine!

… I may be a little bit old-headed about some tech things <.< I guess things are moving on to “your own hardware as a service” now :-\

:3 ^.

Don’t forget to light up your feed with our new vibrant social media section!

I’m gonna vom :P

They like to make a show like everyone on Earth is just like they are so how dare we exist differently but it’s clearly just them being hateful. Idunno how bigots manage to still think they’re clever and totally not insecure whilst making self-contradictory statements and raging over nonsense and trivia for hours at a time, often in spaces where they’re not even welcome.

After more than thirty hours and hours of discussions with a friend who knows Pathfinder and stuff, I’ve finally beaten the first boss of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous!

My character finally created, I got through the intro cutscene thingle, threw a dart, saved, and am in bed waiting to become asleep 🤣

(The joke is that the character creation is so interesting, involved, and/or difficult that it counts as a boss fight just choosing a character class to start with 😅 Also yes it did actually according to Steam take me nearly forty hours to defeat said boss 😅)

[Punny jokeness] Now that I think about it, isn’t there a limit to how many g’s a human body can handle? We’re all gonna have to train like fighter pilots or switch our cell network naming scheme 🤔

6g comes out, carriers push everyone to get new 6g phones as the 5g networks get worked over. Bunch of vaxxers just walking around like “Nah, mine’s fine. Why spend hundreds on a new one? 🤷” AT&T and Samsung suddenly sponsoring research to undo vaccinations and turn the frogs hetero 🤣

This specific part of the TOS was deleted last year.

Yeah that’s fine, what could possibly go wrong?

the trust that is irrevocably broken now

Irrevocably for the next week or so, maybe. People not only put up with but eat up heaps and heaps of BS and never change, so the BS never changes. Oh, Unity’s corporate shite. “Shut up, it’s fine!” Oh, Unity’s being evil. “Shut up, it’s fine!” Oh, Unity hired the fucking EA guy. “Shut up, it’s fine!” Unity removed protections for devs. “Shut up, it’s fine!” Unity wants to charge the fuck out of everycritter per-install. “Oh woe!” … but any day now it’ll be back to “Shut up, it’s fine! They just want money, that’s what companies are for! It’s just capitalism broooo gotta make money, they can’t just give stuff away!” like that justifies literally anything.

Blah blah blah. I guess I’ll never understand how people can think for-profit companies that repeatedly abuse them are their friends. Maybe that’s just me being a clueless lefty free software hippie or whatever, unaware of the benefits of being exploited and shat on then going and white-knighting for the damn companies against real people anyway.

wanders off yappyranting into the void

Sodapopcokedrink caffeine seems to make me either sleepy or jittery. I’m pretty sure it’s sometimes both <.< Which is super weird.

Of course, it’s not a useful sleepy. It’s a “nap for a couple hours sometime in the next couple hours, no you are not getting any actual rest from it” kind of sleepy. Gr.

Caffeine from other stuff probably does this too but I don’t pay enough attention to my body or life or anything to really be able to say much 😅

Another version (extra cold, I think!):

Did you hear about the mansplainer who fell into a hole?

It was a well, actually.

Jak from Jak and Daxter? Oh, no, boring milquetoast Jak from the soooper with-it-and-hip new wannabe-hit videogame, Immortals of Aveum™

Actually I don’t remember whether that other Jak was any good either. Haven’t played that since it was new 😅
