People who provide nothing but comments like “this is ai!” actually contribute far less than AI responses somehow.

I think some of the early push back on asking better more relevant questions was right. But it morphed fairly quickly into gate keeping power user hell hole. I did learn early how to ask better questions. Often to the point I could get an a

I bought a house shortly before unexpectedly relocating to SoCal. It didn't make any sense to sell, so we rented it out while we were there. The renters never seemed like a problem. Payments kept coming in as expected. They moved out a

About a block away from me is a private community pool that is highly used during the summer. Across from it and another block down is a park with some trails. There is a cross walk between them, but there is no lighting for it. Basically

Worse than trump are the tens of millions of Americans willing to vote for someone like him. They will largely still be here after Trump is gone.

I also feel like even if you cannot taste the spice with your mouth, you’ll feel it at the other end. I generally enjoy spicy food. But I’ve found, especially lately, that my mouth can handle more than I’m willing to deal with the next day.

What an absolutely ridiculous claim to make.

This pattern plays out across so many things conservatives say. It was never about free speech. It was never about being civil after someone was killed. It was never about balancing the budget. Their anti-dei stance was never about fairness

There are so few users of sublime text that it likely isn’t a juicy enough target for these sorts of exploits.

When do Democrats stiff red states? This "hurt your opponents" style of governance comes exclusively from one political party in the US and it's not the Democratic Party. I would almost guarantee as soon as Democrats regain p

Mine hasn't. I've been subjected to the lowest common denominator of employable humanity because of cost savings measures from companies. I'd far rather interact with an "LLM" powered support agent than a human who

> "No one likes to see big companies avoid taxes." Bullshit. There is one political party in the US entirely dedicated to this outcome.

The choice unfortunately often boils down to choosing between blatant psychopathy or completely useless platitudes. Yes. A vote for Democrats results in less harm. But Democrats are never actually willing to address the problems. Democrats

You're underestimating just how much damage conservative mindsets can do to a state/country/world. From a US perspective, Donald Trump isn't the problem. The tens of millions of American citizens who are willing to vote

Some ignorant people need to play X-Com. A 95% chance to hit a target does not mean you hit the target 100% of the time. For fucks sake, even D&D players understand the concept of a critical miss.

It turns out "liberal main stream media" was always controlled by capitalists. It was never "left leaning" unless your mind was entirely warped by right wing propaganda.

Festool is on the expensive side and designed for professional use to justify the investment. I had disposable income and hate sanding, so I splurged on the festool sander and dust extractor. Night and day difference from my dewalt sander

This has to be a sick joke right? Nick Shirley is the farthest thing from an “independent journalist”. He’s just another right wing hack trying to stir up controversy. And it works because people who consume his content are looking for exac

We know to some degree how to do it. Education helps. Conservatives are the problem. It's been shown over and over again that the grifters target conservatives because it actually works. Similar campaigns against more liberal targets a

I think the success of Marvel vs DC is one indicator that people do care about a more consistent world and story and are less interested in re-introducing the exact same characters over and over again in their own mini series of movies cons

At the risk of being labeled as racist, I'll take an LLM chat bot either in text or delayed voice to an outsourced Indian call center any day. This isn't an indictment of Indian's and their ability to communicate. But the typ

I think what kills me about this is all the air that D&D sucks up in this space. There are so many better game systems out there. D&D sits in this place of being very rules heavy and opinionated to the point it makes adapting it to

I tend to draw the line at automating the LLM to respond to things. If it's responding to some sort of external source, that source is usually somewhat consistent to the point I'd rather have the LLM create a script to parse the d

Ukraine is evidence that you're not a sovereign nation unless you have nuclear deterrents. Giving up their nukes based on a promise from Russia and the US is the stupidest thing they could have done. All the "major powers" ke
