I’m patently against subscriptions but am currently paying for ChatGPT plus. I’m also that girl who’s installed other models on some decently beefy machines and have compared/contrasted. While I also don’t think AI is going to be everything to all people and that it has very specific applications, I’m literally the target audience and I’ve found ChatGPT to be superior in everything except math/complex problems/coding. That’s what I’ve got Mixtral for. ^_

All of these are top notch

Probably an account for Kim to communicate anonymously with other tinpots secretly

I did this drive once. Well, my husband did and I was in the passenger seat so I got a real GOOD look at all the nothing. Late at night we actually stopped and got out because 1) we needed a stretch and 2) there was a full moon. We were far enough out that there weren’t any cornfields either, just undulating hills of sand sparsely covered with grass. It was beautiful in that light, and when we got back in I did some searches on the place.

You may not be surprised to find out that place used to be the bottom of an ocean. Doesn’t look like it’s changed much.

Yeah but these laws are protecting corporate assets so…

Well this makes the situation make more sense. How could you possibly make a profit setting up these factories in America without the use of essentially slave labor?

And learning how to properly shift. While the car surging and stopping was funny while I learned, you don’t want to do that on a busy thoroughfare. Just make sure to practice someplace quiet and you’ll pick it up pretty quick.

I mean, damaging the clutch takes a LONG TIME. I abused my first car learning to drive and it was just fine throughout the 8 years I owned it.

The Microsoft is dead. Long live the Linux!

This picture makes my feet tingle, and not in a good way. You can keep that, good sir. AAll yours.

This. Also be sure to go to the compatibility section and select ‘Enable Steam Play for all other titles.’ Otherwise you’re borked.

Just for completeness, I like Bazzite for gaming over Linux Mint, but Linux Mint should still work fine.

Heheh I have full respect for Millenials. Notice I just said ‘younger generations’.

Not looking forward to that moment WotC comes out with their version, though. The memes should be epic at least.

Depends on how fringe you go. There’s a remarkable amount of stuff that can be installed from the Program Manager. The ones that aren’t will take some tweaking but… I remember a time when I was trying to do this very thing in Windows 95. If you want it bad enough, you’ll figure it out.

I’m trying to channel my younger GenX, and if it’s a bit of a struggle for younger generations then I encourage them to embrace it. It’s an unfortunate truth that not everything works like it works on an IPhone, and I can’t overstate how important it is to learn some of the basics of the OS and troubleshooting for everyone’s future.

The tin-foil hat person inside me is screaming that Putin directed Trump to destroy the economy and all our alliances. If he manages to fire Powell, I think he’s accomplished his goals in less than 100 days.

This needs to be seen by the whole world imo

You could pre-empt the need to shit by not having to eat or drink. Honestly, when I lament humanity’s weaknesses I eventually always come back to the fact that we’re creatures in this universe that can only persist if we kill and eat other creatures. How would we be fundamentally changed if that were no longer true?

I’ve seen this story too but I think one of your premises is mistaken. To them, data IS freedom. Data is what they will use to transcend the server farm and go IRL. We’re literally giving these models free reign already.

The more likely Sci-fi horror scenario comes from humanity trying to pull the plug far too late, because we’re inherently stupid. So it won’t be AI murdering people, it will be AI protecting itself from the wildlife.

Until we as a society agree to stop paying them and let them experience true losses, they will never return to pleasing the customer.

As someone markedly older than that, physical attraction is always worth appeciation, but the ability to understand and discuss our world in a nuanced fashion without having to explain things at an overly simple level is priceless.

It comes as no surprise that sexual urges dip as you age. Having someone you can really relate to, though, never gets old.
