All the things you mention are a thing in all three dialects lol. Gaol is just the archaic spelling, thongs does also mean flip-flops, and cunt is more and more socially acceptable in both the US & UK, though nowhere near the casual usage in AUS.
Yeah I think anyone who thinks John Wick got worse over time was probably a teenager when the first one came out. They’re all schlocky action films. The fourth one at least has some unique set pieces
It’s still pretty trash. Every update adds new boring activities but the core gameplay loops still get old quickly and the game is an endlessly scaling grind to nowhere. It’s “redemption story” is drastically overrated.
Thanks for the basic lesson in media literacy. I was replying to your comment which implies that this comic is somehow a media critique.
This comic is very explicitly bashing fans not the media.
For personal projects you can either just use git locally or make them source-available with a restrictive license. If you don’t even want the source to be available then why use a public repo?
It’s a tool for the owners, it’s a trap for the users. The sycophancy and malleability of the chatbots makes them not just unsuitable as replacements for therapists, they can be and often are actively harmful, validating problematic, spiraling or psychotic thought patterns.
I know that therapy isn’t accessible for everyone, but any actual human you can talk to is better than a chat bot in this context.
I would rather someone vibe code critical infrastructure with a chat bot than use it for mental health.
No one should be using a corporate chat bot to “figure out who they are”.
Chatbots? Basically nothing. Any interaction I have with one leads to spending more time verifying its output, inevitably finding many mistakes, and eventually finding a primary source for what I’m actually looking for. The best actual impact it has is forcing me to narrow down my nebulous question into what I actually specifically want, but the bot itself is contributing very little to that.
Neutral nets in general have limited real usefulness in analyzing large batches of data when other purpose-built analysis software doesn’t exist.
“AI” is a misnomer and there is absolutely zero evidence to suggest that we’re even on a path toward actual AI, sometimes called AGI, though they’re also changing that to just mean a profitable LLM which is fucking hilarious.
Any task you use a bot to do, you will become worse at that task. For mass data analysis, that’s fine, poring over reams of data is already a skill that other technology has largely obsoleted. But using it to do research, to read or write for you, or god forbid to make actual decisions and think for you, are very slippery slopes that are already causing a lot of the general public to seriously erode their basic mental capabilities.
Sorry I deleted my comment because I misread your first one.
The joke, which is not funny enough to bear this level of explanation, is that she would do that and call it exposure therapy. That’s funny.
My defense of the comic was more of an indictment of the average reddit/lemmy comic post, which very often literally have no punchline or stretch one panel of content into four.
This post is clearly horny but I don’t know why everyone is saying there’s no punchline. The punchline is that pissing in her mouth in the store is exposure therapy.
This is honestly funnier and more well-paced than like half the comics that get posted here.
Yeah this is just accurate IMO. It can be nice to add richness but the people that eat half an avocado with a spoon are crazy.
I quite enjoyed the show but season 4 was a massive turd that should be skipped.
Whole lotta ifs and assumptions. “A high enough level of information processing” is meaningless if we don’t have any idea what sort of information processing could lead to consciousness, because it clearly isn’t just raw throughput.
AGI definitionally improves itself, which implies awareness of itself and intention. Those are a huge amount of how we define consciousness.
Yeah no only people who don’t understand the tech are worried about AGI. There is zero evidence to suggest that we’re anywhere on the right path to develop it. The chatbots are not intelligent, they are just a big bag of all the data the trainers could scrape and an algorithm to pull things out of that bag in a way that humans like.
Actual AGI would require us to understand how consciousness works. We don’t at all.
Spoken like a terrible human being.
OpenTTD!!!
Also Satisfactory.
