They could do it if they pull the ol’ Uno reverse on NATO’s superhighway infrastructure, and like…just get away with that.

Kind of. Growing up playing Counter-Strike and Battlefield titles, toxicity was still a much rarer thing than these days. Hell, smacktalk wasn’t even a thing unless playing with friends and joking around.

Feel kind of lucky. They weren’t so toxic when I was good. The only place to really find that was from the notorious Xbox Live kids experimenting with their first ever swear words.

It was when gaming reached a broader audience and wasn’t just for “nerds” that toxicity became commonplace. Went from making friends with strangers all the time to just default muting mics and avoiding communities.

Nowadays, the less reflex-deoendent, the more you’ll be surrounded by players from those days and the less toxicity. Compare HLL to MW, for example.

Also more cost.

Makes sense. I’ve lived in three Australian cities and getting around on bike, bus, and rail is much easier than driving. Plenty of friends I met never even got a driver’s licence.

But as you get away from a city centre, things become challenging. By the time you’ve left a city region, you enter the Australian sprawl of nasty climate and nothingness between bits and pieces of civilisation peppered around the national map.

It’s a land where one state would be the 16th largest country (I forgot about WA) 10th largest country in the world. A place where I almost all cities, you can fit several European nations in between your’s and the next closest.

It’s car use and costs on roads reflects its low population having a density per square kilometre comparable to the scarcist places on the planet. But if you are in a city—at least those I was in—the infrastructure for not having a car is great. You’re really punished for driving a vehicle in one, yet many still do and are miserable every morning and afternoon.

In shell
Drawing pictures
Of fence tops
With him on top
Lemon yellow sun
Eyestalks raised in a V
The dead lay in pools of pale blue below

Scientists tried to give attention
To the fact that his shell turned left
Snail Jeremy the Wicked
Ruled his world, but

Jeremy didn’t get laid today
Jeremy didn’t get laid today

Clearly I remember
Pickin’ on the boy
Seemed a harmless little mollusc
Oh, but we unleashed a hedgehog
Gnashed his radula
Shot darts at mantles
How could I forget
He hit me with a surprise bump
My shell left hurtin’
Oh, tipped right over
Just like the day
Like the day I heard

Scientists tried to give affection
But the boy was something the others wouldn’t mate
Snail Jeremy the Wicked
Ruled his world

Jeremy didn’t get laid today
Jeremy didn’t get laid today
Jeremy didn’t get laid today

Try to forget this… (try to forget this)
Try to erase this… (try to erase this)
From the postdoc paper

Jeremy didn’t get laid today

Yesterday it tried to tell me Duration.TotalYears() and Number.IsNaN() were M functions in the first few interactions. I immediately called it out and for the first time ever, it doubled-down.

I think I’m at a level where, for most cases, what I ask of LLMs for coding is too advanced, else I just do it myself. This results in a very high counts of bullshit. But even for the most basic stuff, I have to take the time to read all of it and fix or optimise mistakes.

What breed? I wonder if they’re similar. Mine’s a Lapphund so at the core they’re a herding/work dog but have a crazy emotional intelligence. I get more socks delivered to me if I appear sad or tired.

Mine’s 35. 40 is illegal unless you’re a medical doctor. And legally I have to be paid overtime for every minute over but it’s my choice.

My dog has been told off many times for stealing socks. He still does, but it’s just to bring them to me. It’s like he can’t stop himself, but he’s found a workaround. Go pull a yummy stinky sock out of a boot, enjoy it the whole way to me, place it at my feet and wait for a pat.

I’ve been folding washing and he’s pulled one out of the basket next to me and then placed it down at my feet.

That’s not disturbing; that’s completely fucked up.

If they want to buy data to use for AI, they can pay someone to license their voice for its use. What they’ve done is no different to bootlegging, but it’s worse because it’s personally identifiable data.

Linux gamers receive significant attention as Proton is now enabled by default

Significant attention = A 0 became a 1, saving you a few clicks after installing Steam.

Yeah McDonald’s is purely for on the road. Other food in its price range is leagues above. There’s better options on the road too, but McDonald’s is so small and minimal, it’s easy to eat with one hand and steer with the other; no mess.

Meanwhile the unemployment rate continues to be troublingly low, begging the question, “If not for immigration, who’s going to fill the new fancy All-American manufacturing industries?”

There’s an increased likelihood of a party changing and causing a break in stalemate situations. Doesn’t mean it’ll happen, but there is an increased likelihood.

Australia pats self on back. Leaves coal dust handprints.

Political options aren’t ruined by two-party system, so there’s flexibility.

Options and diversity generally results in progress and balance.

It will burst. AI is improving at the same rate it always has and no one’s surprised, just LLMs have gotten attention from normal users who seem to think “this is AI”.

For actual AI, nothing has changed. You still need extremely well governed data and lots and lots of controlled training, lots and lots of condition farming and resolving, all at considerable cost not worth it for BAU, just AI-soecific projects.

It’s already bursting, as people realise what is AGI and what is non-logic LLMs and why the latter has limited use, especially with awful mass “training”.

The most realistic outcome is that LLMs are able to assist in increasing the pace of AGI.

Women are just as bad. It’s not a gender thing, though there are the old stereotypes you mentioned

My experience is women are very unclean if they don’t think it will be noticed or on display. Cleaning is more for appearances with little influence from hygiene or being organised. Men seem to do it out of necessity only, it’s not the bare minimum, but the state of something can be left longer, like a pile of clothes not being big enough to deal with yet. But there are those that can’t survive without their mothers.
