I used to pay for 4 streaming subscriptions.

Now no one gets my money. I would love to support developers, but I’m unwilling to put up with this bullshit to do so.

Ads even though I already pay? Have to turn off my VPN to use your website? Incomplete series? Inability to watch content offline? Regularly increase the cost well above inflation level? Geolocking content?

Streaming services get shittier and shittier with each passing day. Glad I ‘opted out’.

Here’s my first attempt at that prompt using OpenAI’s ChatGPT4. I tested the same prompt using other models as well, (e.g. Llama and Wizard), both gave legitimate responses in the first attempt.

I get that it’s currently ‘in’ to dis AI, but frankly, it’s pretty disingenuous how every other post about AI I see is blatant misinformation.

Does AI hallucinate? Hell yes. It makes up shit all the time. Are the responses overly cautious? I’d say they are, but nowhere near as much as people claim. LLMs can be a useful tool. Trusting them blindly would be foolish, but I sincerely doubt that the response you linked was unbiased, either by previous prompts or numerous attempts to ‘reroll’ the response until you got something you wanted to build your own narrative.

Can’t help but notice that you’ve cropped out your prompt.

Played around a bit, and it seems the only way to get a response like yours is to specifically ask for it.

Honestly, I’m getting pretty sick of these low-effort misinformation posts about LLMs.

LLMs aren’t perfect, but the amount of nonsensical trash ‘gotchas’ out there is really annoying.

I’ve been humming and harring about whether to block this community over the past week, but the sheer orangeness of your post has me convinced. Orange is the best.

I will remain for now.

Edit: do you usually keep your salt and pepper shakers on the stove???

Ah, that is not how your initial comment came across. Though I guess you realise that now.

I honestly don’t recall ever encountering any bars on buying video games as a kid, or even knowing that ratings existed, though it could just be because my parents bought most of my games. I think you’re right that very few people in Australia care about ratings. To me, it’s clear that ratings are almost entirely arbitrary. It’s obvious that big developers get more leeway in how their products are rated than smaller developers anyway.

Australians do. As do international companies selling to the Australian market.

The title is presumptuous and does not encourage a healthy debate.

Historically, etymologically, are bivalves vegan? No, they are obviously not. But are you vegan because you are a linguist? Or are you vegan because you want to minimise the harm that you cause while continuing to live and thrive as a moral person? Limiting veganism to simplistic, poorly considered ideas such as what kingdom of organism they fall into is lazy and ill-considered. Like every other word in the English language, veganism is not bound to its original meaning.

I researched bivalves some time ago and decided, personally, that there just wasn’t enough information (that I could interpret) available to me to determine whether they experienced pain, suffering, or any form of higher thought process. I decided that I would refrain from eating bivalves, as I just wasn’t sure.

However, there are plants out there that are more sophisticated, and seemingly more intelligent, than organisms in the Animalia kingdom (e.g. most jellyfish).

I don’t eat bivalves because I am unsure. I don’t eat jellyfish because they taste like nothing. I don’t eat honey, because bees clearly have some level of sentience. Idgaf about what some person in 1944 decided as the meaning of the word ‘vegan’ (though I respect the intent).

Many of the comments in this thread are criticising solely on the etymological basis of the word ‘vegan’ rather than the actual ethical consideration of the issue.

The question for these people, ‘are you vegan because you genuinely care about the impact you have, or do you care more about rigid definitions with little consideration of the actual meaning?’

I think I’ve reached my limit of drama here. I’m more interested in vegan recipes and vegan news than the clashing of egos between people who just so happen to be vegan. Reckon it’s high time to block this community.

It’s sold in quite a few different countries. I get it from Woolworths in Australia.

I can’t really remember what spam tastes like, except that I recall not liking it as a kid; I think it was too salty and too spongy for my liking. This product seems to have a meatier texture than spam though. I’ve tried it a few different ways and it’s quite enjoyable. I even use it as a burger patty replacement. Slice it up, fry it, and it pairs well with cheese and tomato sauce.

I was very doubtful about this when it first came out, but it was really cheap at one point so I gave it a try, even though I don’t like spam. This stuff is delicious.

I’ve been using Linux on and off for years and I’ve never really understood what these different directories are for. If I don’t know where something is I just search for it, though more often than not whatever I’m looking for is somewhere in the home directory. I’m also not sure of the accuracy of this though. I have a VM in /run, and an SSD and thumb drive in /media. I would’ve expected these to be in /mnt.

This somehow makes me feel both old and young at the same time.

This would be a good move in my books.

I haven’t played Final Fantasy Remake because they split the game into ‘parts’, made PC users wait over a year before they could play the game, then had the nerve to still try and charge full price when they eventually got around to releasing it for PC.

I was very interested in the game, but not that interested.

I agree with this order. TPS is a slog. It is almost entirely comprised of traveling across the map and then traveling back the way you came except everything just respawned. Over and over again.

The 3rd game makes item drops boring. ‘Legendary’ gear is ludicrously common which makes anything sub-Legendary pointless. There’s no excitement when a legendary item drops because they always drop. The story also does not compare with the second, which was awesome, or even the first, which was pretty good.

Borderlands 2 also has a pretty good VR port that I highly recommend.

World News = 4,259 articles announcing that Israel is committing genocide and 1,865 articles claiming there isn’t enough coverage that Israel is committing genocide.

Look. I get it. Israel be bad. But there is other stuff happening in the world that I’d like to know about. I don’t need to be told the exact same thing over and over and over and over and over again.

Don’t be silly; it’s obvious that there are different error messages for each gender expression. Error logs need to be detailed and specific in order to be useful.

I wonder how much of their income actually goes towards development. At a glance, it seems a great deal of unnecessary administrative bloat has been added to Mozilla.

I honestly don’t see why a browser company needs to be so large (>700 employees).

Not that I want people to lose their jobs, it just seems unnecessary.

A lot of outdated information. Looks like they’ve been open and closed source at different times. Most recent info I could find (from last month) states: “While Floorp wasn’t originally closed source, we plan to revert to an open-source license under the GNU definition.”

I equate Samsung TVs with HP printers. I would rather go without than have to put up with their nonsense.
