*here again. Let’s see how long it takes them this time to remove it again.

Scientific consensus. But it’s not “LLMs”. AI covers multitudes of methods, algorithms, models. LLMs fall into sequence modeling / prediction, usually based on transformers nowadays, which is a method from machine learning, which itself is a big branch inside of the term “AI”.

You can also misuse it and it sucks (NSFW).

You can install things from random websites for Linux too, though.

Reminds me of the Epicurean Paradox:

Nope. I’m gaming to have fun, not to work off some backlog. And if I buy a game, barely touch it and never play it again, that’s fine. Keep the fun in games and don’t treat it as an obligation.

Life is not a race, nor a sequence of specific milestones everyone has to achieve. Do whatever the fuck you want for yourself in life.

That’s of course a bit difficult if these things are exactly what you want. However, go get therapy, carve something nice for you out of life and make yourself comfortable. Don’t compare yourself to people who have lived a mentally healthy life. It’s like comparing yourself to people who have healthy legs while yours are broken. They haven’t walked the same path you are walking. Maybe they wouldn’t even survive for so long if they were in your shoes. So forgive yourself and be proud that you are still here despite the shit raining down on you everyday. That’s a lot of strength you’re showing.

Yada yada yada, I know easier said than done. Ironic, coming from someone who has similar problems. But therapy has indeed helped to make things a bit better. Still working on it. There is hope. You can do it too.

(And still continue to shitpost. ;) )

How much is it with pictures?

Ah I see. This is getting ridiculous.

I wonder where you draw the line of when the use of resources for technology is okay and when it isn’t.

Did it make a mistake?

The reasons (summarized using Copilot):

• The platform no longer aligns with Debian’s values, social contract, code of conduct, and diversity statement.
• Concerns over X becoming a place where people they care about don’t feel safe.
• Abuse on the platform happening without consequences.
• Issues with misinformation and lack of moderation.

The meme builds on a cliché about autistic people.

Just saw a video today about how on steam roughly half of the best rated games are indie titles. Needless to say that the 2D graphics are not photorealistic.

Maybe, instead throwing money on graphics alone, focus on making fun games?

GPU rendered text interfaces are pretty ubiquitous already. You can find that in IDEs, browsers, apps and GUIs of OSs. Drawing pixels is still a job the GPU excels at. No matter whether it’s just text. So I don’t see a point why we shouldn’t apply that to terminal emulators as well.

If you are in a debate and you want to nudge someone towards your opinion, or at least away from theirs, without triggering the typical emotional defence behaviour which ruins rational discussions, calmly ask objective questions which point towards problems in the arguments of your partner.

From my experience, I found this certainly helps to keep discussions civil and make people think rather than just judge emotionally, even though this is not a one-fits-all tool.

(A) Such questions can be used to inquire about the reasons for a statement or opinion, which can provide you with a broader argumentative “attack surface” and might weaken your discussion partner when they discover that their point of view is not as sound and good as they thought it to be.

This basically boils down to principles of epistemology. “How do you know?”

(B) Another use is to include facts or opinions in such questions which counter the argument of your partner and let them re-evaluate it.

Two simple examples:

• “Why do you think that wolves are dangerous for humans?” (A)
• “How does this fit with research which shows that wolves avoid humans and don’t see them as prey?” (B)

That way you don’t necessarily present yourself as an opponent, since your own opinion is not directly verbalized. Instead you hop into a more neutral role, where you ask genuine questions and show interest in the other person’s point of view. Combatative counter arguments are rephrased and hidden that way without the other person realizing it.

that sounds like you were part of a case study in your childhood

xD I need to remember this. Funny way of seeing this.

Interesting glimpses into a fucked up childhood via presents. Good for you that these times are over.

Gendered colours are stupid anyway.

At least it was thoughtful.
