I never finished Zero Dawn but I’m about 40 hours in. Combat mechanics are wonderful. Doesn’t get boring for me. But the design of quests being numerous “run 3km this way, find a thing, get out” grows old.

I’ll pick it up again later down the road and finish it eventually.

I’m in the market for a new car in Canada. I don’t want a gas car. Environmental reasons aside, they just cost too much and have too many moving parts that can wear out.

I can afford most any gas car I want. The moment it becomes electric I cannot afford it. A $10k BYD looks nice, but my government decides I actually need to pay $45k starting instead.

Execs should be made to provide benefits to society. I saw we blend them into nutrient paste and use it to make food for our hungry people.

Our whole world is based on the concept that the world is infinite and conservation of energy and mass is not a thing.

YES THE SOLDIER JESUS CABIN CREW POSTS!!!

Love em. Also the “I made this with my hands” and “why don’t these pictures ever trend???”

Oh yes. Erotica and pictures.

I use it quite a bit. I don’t trust big companies who commercialize AI so I run my AIs locally on my old retired gaming desktop that I’ve turned into a homelab/media server.

I use Kobold.AI to self host an LLM like ChatGPT (Dolphin-Mistral7b if you are curious). I mainly use it for low effort knowledge searches for stuff that is easier typed out long and descriptive (since google struggles with this). Since it’s AI I have to be careful about what I search since I’ve seen it make stuff up but for the majority of what I use it for (Programming syntax, Linux troubleshooting, general questions) it’s pretty good.

I also have Stable Diffusion running as well using the ICBINP model (which is pretty decent for photorealistic images). I use this AI to generate social media display pictures and porn :) it’s fun because it’s a surprise at what you’re going to get but sometimes it generates absolute horrors. Anatomical horrors. Those are genuinely horrific. Other times it’s really good.

It did the opposite lmao. I asked it what my vacation leave was because you need to verify leave amounts before you’re allowed to request any additional leave. It said I had 0 in my balance and I know for a fact I have at least a week left 🤪 took almost a month to sort it out. Had to provide balance screenshots and everything. I’d be probably fucked if I hadn’t manually screenshot my leave amounts beforehand.

My butt is much too perky for these goons. They don’t deserve it.

You joke but several sections of our HR department got cut and replaced with Enterprise GPT-4. We talk to an internal chatbot now about HR questions and some forms.

All you need to succeed on this planet is the self confidence to say things. It literally does not matter the accuracy. It’s how you express it. I wish I knew this when I was younger. I’d cut out all the imposter syndrome that held me back.

Haha and then the conversation would then be “Yes but can we see ChatGPT’s research?”

I had to prepare a high level report to a senior manager last week regarding a project my team was working on.

We had to make 5 professional recommendations off of data we reported.

We gave the 5 recommendations with lots of evidence and references to why we came to that decision.

The top question we got was: “What are ChatGPT’s recommendations?”

Back to the drawing board this week because LLMs are more credible than teams of professionals with years of experience and bachelor-masters level education on the subject matter.

O god o fuck.

I love this game. Favourite platformer. I would play this and the second one all the time.

How toxic is the playerbase? I had several hundreds of hours in CS:GO but found that the playerbase became increasingly toxic (team kills, vote kicks to try and ban you, sabotaging plans).

What kind of gamer would you recommend HD2 to? I’m eyeing it

That’s a good question we should ask these white boys.

This has been the wildest guerilla marketing campaign I’ve seen in the last 5 months.

One can have an AI NPC who has a big set of filters on it keeping it in character and keeping it to relevant dialogue. I wouldn’t fully write this off.
