My favorite high tech AI was Crysis. Might have been an update after it was originally released. The enemies will aggressively attack but then get quiet after you've taken cover. Eventually you'll realize some of them are flanking

Maybe I'm missing something because I really haven't studied this issue much at all, but would it not be possible to designate some new character as "START_ROLE_TAG" and "END_ROLE_TAG", and then to strip those

I wasn't making a scientific statement about whether depopulating the deer will help; the governor of Massachusetts already did. I'm saying that it's pathetic to blame it all on deer and then not eliminate the pointlessly one

How about loosening restrictions on deer hunting as part of the policy change to reduce deer populations and, consequently, tick populations, that Governor Healey grandstanded^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H spoke passionately about earlier this year

I'm not saying they're hypocritical. I'm saying that this would be far less likely to have happened had they not advertised its power by bringing up its danger.

Seems ironic to say about this, but it's not: Don't anthropomorphize LLMs; they are just really really good story telling machines. Telling it to "blur your eyes" doesn't mean it has eyes to blur. It means that it i

Working for me but it's funny that Opus 4.8 is draining usage exactly as quickly as Fable did. It's all made up; they succeeded at making us ok with a black box for these subscription plans.

I'll be honest with you. My main ask for on device AI is that when I am typing "Going out for a quick j" it corrects to "jog" and not "Jonathan". I don't think it needs that many gigabytes.

I have yet to be convinced that LLMs can produce definitive knowledge that is not a result of combining previous information. Humans can (if they can't then science basically collapses epistemelogically, see: philosophical skepticism),
