I would watch the absolute fuck outta this hollywood fund this pls.

Is it really that excellent? Big “how do you do fellow kids” energy with this one. They all look like they could be the star of a cult classic gritty animated film noir feature about anthropomorphic animals set in wartime 1940s brooklyn. Call it “The primal inside me” or something, get that triple entendre going for it.

I’d be fine with that, if that had been criticism the games had ever received. But… this just seems like their own personal hangip?

I’m going to be totally honest, on a re-read I do not understand what you’re trying to say here.

I have never had a student with this attitude pass my program, and I’ve had a great many students with this attitude. Take from that what you will.

Yeeeep. The biggest adjustment I/my peers have had to make to address the ubiquity of students cheating using LLMs is to make them do stuff, by hand, in class. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t get a guilty sort of pleasure from the expressions on certain students when I tell them to put away their laptops before the first thirty-percent-of-your-grade in-class quiz. And honestly, nearly all of them shape up after that first quiz. It’s why so many profs are adopting the “you can drop your lowest-scoring quiz” policy.

Yes, it’s true that once they get to a career they will be free to use LLMs as much as they want - but much like with TI-86, you can’t understand any of the concepts your calculator can’t solve if you don’t have an understanding of the concepts it can.

Ooooh no. No, fuck off. This disingenuous “just asking questions” shtick can fuck right off. This is about polio you fucking lunatic, get a fucking grip.

edit: That single, impotent downvote fills me with joy.

As a prof, it’s getting a little depressing. I’ll have students that really seem to be getting to grips with the material, nailing their assignments, and then when they’re brought in for in-person labs… yeah, they can barely declare a function, let alone implement a solution to a fairly novel problem. AI has been hugely useful while programming, I won’t deny that! It really does make a lot of the tedious boilerplate a lot less time-intensive to deal with. But holy crap, when the crutch is taken away people don’t even know how to crawl.

Idk we already knew Xitter was a plague on society…

There were other people there, I mean he killed the guy while he was standing like 4’ away from a woman. The hotel staff phoned the cops once they realized what was going on, but the choice of ammo + silencer and that was early in the morning meant people were slow on the uptake. It was either really well planned or really lucky, or more likely both. The engravings on the rounds show at least enough forethought that it wasn’t a spur of the moment thing, but that’s literally all the information we have.

Look, overall you’re not wrong, and fuck knows we’re due for a new folk hero. My worry is that if people get too attached to the rapidly evolving mystique around this one person, it’ll all come to a crashing halt when/if they get arrested, especially if it turns out it really was his wife hiring a hitman to get out of a prenup or something equally banal.

Don’t get too swept away with the romance - he could simply have not known the camera was there, or not cared, or been so out of his mind on some drug that the concept of ‘camera’ was beyond his grasp at the time. The engraved bullets could be anything from schizophrenic ramblings to a red herring because he really was a master hired hitman. We just don’t know.

I really want this to be a revenge execution for all the evil that CEO sack of shit put into the world, but I’ve gotten really skeptical that good things might actually start happening ever again. We don’t even know that this was a targeted act. Everyone has assumed, but there’s no actual evidence of anything and if the NYPD have it, which I doubt, they sure aren’t sharing it (they doubtlessly have plenty they’re not releasing, 99% of it garbage they have yet to sift through, but anything this concrete would have ended the investigation by now).

That said, I’m already trying to buy a body pillow of this guy so something something glass houses.

Or maybe even schools. How will we cope when they start going after our kids? Going after women’s healthcare providers? God, when will this end…

One second googling chatgpt disproves this, what the fuck is wrong with you, why are you making up such easily disproved BS?

Man, I sure have had that one wrong my whole life. Damn.

They’re not iron, they’re magnesium. Hence “Maglite”.

They use a radical new networking technique called “Lying, but with graphs”

Yes, hence why I had to correct myself

Sorry, you’re correct - I should have said they do not make a loss on the sales (turn a profit is obviously a bit of a stretch) since they use their existing infrastructure to offset the operational expenses, and the actual ingredient cost is literally pennies per unit.

It’s a side point, but the costco hotdogs do absolutely turn a profit. $1.50 seems unreasonably low because of how much we’re used to paying for food these days, but its hotdogs and a fountain drink, the cost of ingredients is next to nothing.
