    Retro Game of the Month?

    How many of you guys have played Final Fantasy V? If there's a decent amount of the community here that hasn't played it, that would be a great one to go through. The nuanced job system means there's a lot of ways to play the game, which means we would have a lot to discuss. Members that have...

    I'm not sure when it happened, but Google changed the way their search handles user input. Need to scroll over to the "All Results" tab and switch it to "Verbatim" to get the old style Google keyword search rather. At least I *think* that's what's going on, I haven't actually taken the time to...

    Chat GPT AI

    There's a weird hard to describe "uncanny valley" effect in much AI written text tho, that makes it still fail the Turing test in many cases. It's the sort of thing that I feel like is easy for a human to pick up on, but likely difficult to codify a second AI to pick up on the same uncanny trends.

    Absolutely. If I was still doing freelance internet puff article work I would be using ChatGPT to handle huge parts of my workload. A common task of mine was to take one or two articles and rephrase them into a new article. Just asking ChatGPT to do it for me and doing some sloppy lazy...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Yeah Thoth and Hermes are wrapped up as one in the Hermes Trismegistus label. The Quetzalcoatl connection is new to me, but makes perfect sense. Many also equate the archetype with Vishnu. But I feel perhaps Vishnu matches the Christ archetype more closely.

    Folger's Extravagant Swatch Thread

    I like to think of AI as *augmenting* human wit. Those ChatGPT outputs would not have been so funny if I had not fed your writing as part of my prompt. Humans will always be kings when it comes to writing comedy. Humor is not codifiable.
