It's a majority (or close to) 40yr old tech autists. I'm not trying to be funny, I'm not trying to be offensive, that's just a statement of fact.

Vespair ,

I've never played it, but I've heard from a friend that it is actually a total blast assuming your group has a good attitude and open mind going into it

Vespair , (edited )

I watched it with my child niece. The first two seasons are legitimately great for a children's show with a surprisingly deep narrative.

But then season 3 or 4 the production team changed and it went from being deep like Adventure Time to just being generic "good enough" kid's show.

Legitimately kind of a sad thing, actually

edit: typo

Vespair ,

Never heard of that one so I can't compare

Vespair ,

Gotcha. Sounds like a blast, honestly. One of my most played games this past year has been Metal: Hellsinger, and I'm a sarcastic dark comedy metalhead, so it sounds right up my alley!

Vespair ,

Mario is willing to overlook the blatant copyright infringement because their fries are so dank, but he draws the line at goddamn pickles on a burger

Vespair ,

This post smells like maple

Vespair ,

Alice, apparently.

Vespair ,

I think he's just expecting the player piano version of a guitar.

Vespair ,

At least they can honestly reply with "I promise I will literally never take you for granite"

Vespair ,

Dog cult continues being weird and self-congratulatory

Vespair ,

It's vastly more that dog owners have a fetish for self-congratulation and constantly have to sniff their own farts over how special and perfect their "fur babies" are.

ChatGPT Answers Programming Questions Incorrectly 52% of the Time: Study (gizmodo.com)

The research from Purdue University, first spotted by news outlet Futurism, was presented earlier this month at the Computer-Human Interaction Conference in Hawaii and looked at 517 programming questions on Stack Overflow that were then fed to ChatGPT....

Vespair ,

Anyone else tired of these clickbait headlines and studies about LLM which center around fundamental misunderstandings of how LLMs work, or is it just me?

"ChatGPT didn't get a single answer on my algebra exam correct!!" Well yes, because LLMs work on predictive generation, not traditional calculation, so of course they're not going to do math or anything else with non-language-based patterns properly. That's what a calculator is for.

All of these articles are like complaining that a chainsaw is an inefficient tool for driving nails into wood. Yeah; because that's not the job this tool was made for.

And it's so stupid because there are ton of legitimate criticisms about AI and the AI rollout to be had; we don't have to look for disingenuous cases of misuse for critique.

Vespair ,

I see your point and I agree, except that that isn't what these headlines are saying. Granted, perhaps that's just the standard issue of sensationalism and clickbait rather than being specific to this issue, but the point remains that while the articles may be as you claim, the headlines are still presented instead as "A chainsaw can't even drive a simple nail into wood without issue and that's why you should be angry anytime you hear a chainsaw." I dunno. I'm just so exhausted.

Vespair ,

Yeah I remember being 12 and thinking I understood everything too

Vespair ,

I like being helpful and productive too, but I'm not naive enough to confuse helping my company make profits with actually helping society.

I work because otherwise I would starve and die. That is the sole and only reason I work.

Vespair ,

Bingo.

Vespair ,

Black Widow is a good film tho?

Vespair ,

Perhaps. But just because duck à l'orange is the superior dinner entree doesn't mean I can't still be perfectly satisfied with a nice grilled ribeye steak.

Vespair ,

Sir there are literal Nazis online.

Vespair ,

I think this kind of meme is the same thing as people who pretend to hate the word "moist."

Vespair ,

Boring pop culture opinions that nobody actually likes but which wear the cadence of interesting content so people unthinkingly clap along out of habit even though nobody is actually edified by it or sincerely enjoying it.

Vespair ,

You, my friend, are 100% correct in your take on the topic.

Vespair ,

Now I wanna rewatch Cube; what a great film

Vespair ,

reference ^horror/gore^ ^warning^

Vespair ,

Tbh despite having 30 years of extensive gaming experience, I've never played a Resident Evil game

Vespair ,

Small brain: Calling it X

Big brain: Calling it twitter

Galaxy brain: Not acknowledging that shithole at all

Vespair ,

Caroline, every time.

Sweet Home Alabama is just awful

Vespair ,

Lol, when I describe the song to people what I say is almost verbatim: "it sounds like they stumbled upon one really solid guitar riff and were like, fuck it, play that shit for the next 4 minutes! Umm is that gonna be enough for a song? Who gives a shit!"

So yeah, the riff is pretty good

Vespair ,

For those who choose the man and the bear

Vespair ,

why are right wingers like you triggered by absolutely everything?

Deep seated insecurity, stifled cognitive ability, lack of media and social literacy, a heart literally full of hate, severe lack of touch as a child, etc, etc, etc.

Vespair ,

A silver lining on this black cloud

Vespair ,

Why are the animal’s choices never considered in this equation?

Sapience vs sentience. Hope that helps your understanding!

Vespair ,

Umm.... guys, I regret to inform you, but this is the Pedants Club

Vespair ,

Bro I love that cheese

Vespair ,

Yes music, but it's just going to be this song on repeat.

Vespair ,

Whoever makes my baby cry is gonna lose some teeth tonight 🎵

Vespair ,

Rome is overrated. That meme about men always thinking about ancient Rome is dumb.

Ancient Greece however, now that's a different story. Tell me about Athens all day

Vespair , (edited )

Real talk, and admittedly this is a tangent, but does anyone else think it's weird as hell that for most of us we don't know what literally like 10% of bodies of our absolute closest relationships look like, unless we're sleeping with them?

Shame is weird as hell to me, and the fact that we feel like we have to hide our natural state of being from the people we otherwise implicitly love and trust wholeheartedly will always make me kind of sad.

Or, in other words, more public nudity please.

Vespair ,

Dude I know tons of goth girls I'd happily let take me to the sack

Vespair ,

Look I'm just saying I want to know which of my friends have a cloaca

(Yes this is a Diogenes "behold, a man!" joke)

Vespair ,

She's trying to do ominous wide-eyes, like a manic character from a cartoon or something, the idea being that she would "scare away" the older gentleman with her "unhinged" look.

Of course to anyone who has lived even a week in the real world, instead it just looks like somebody trying to looking intimidating and failing

Vespair ,

Wtf is this comment? This is just blatantly false.

Chill with the unchecked antisemitism these days, Jesus fucking Christ guys

Vespair ,

My guy it's just a ritual to signify the progression of age and a child becoming old enough to take on more responsibility and exert more autonomy of their choices.

You're way overthinking and projecting way too much on this.

Yes, religion sucks and is unnecessary, but this particular ritual is little more than an acknowledgement of growing older. It's basically "Jewish sweet 16."

Vespair ,

Shit I meant my other comment as a reply to the commenter one up the chain, not to you. Sorry for my error

Vespair ,

The problem with this is Goatse famously is not pulling his ass apart by the cheeks, but rather stretching his asshole itself. You needed to superimpose the hands into the eclipse for the reference to really land

Vespair ,

Tbh I already have the fully detailed image of Goatse permanently burned into my retinas for all of my remaining time on this marble, so I think I'm gonna do myself the kindness of not investigating this Bigfootproof at all and simply trusting your word on the matter.

Vespair ,

I do use alternatives, but I mention Google because it's what's relevant to the conversation at hand.
