    The Fast Food Thread

    Arby's Spicy Roast Beef Sandwich is legitimately spicy and probably the most flavorful item available in mainstream fast food.

    The Last of Us

    doesnt the infection convert you into a zombie without actually dying (turning cold etc)? I guess its already warm, then stays warm after that because the fungus zombie continues to use the bodies thermogenesis capabilities?

    Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023)

    This sounds like racist disinformation. The Richards family was always Black, like all superheroes. We've always been at war with Eastasia.

    Shadow and Bone

    which is what makes all the grooming shit disgusting its one thing to put fag stuff in adult shows. Its still gross SJW virtue signalling but at least its age appropriate. gay shit in shows aimed at kids or teens is purely grooming with no other goal, the people who do it should be treated as...

    how about if your time frame is 11 months? 2022 was very good to me until motherfucking December rolled around 12 months is such an arbitrary number. I like 11 better. it lets me pretend that I'll replace my losses somehow over the next 11 months!

    Exactly. Two weeks ago they were smugly telling you you were an idiot if you expected anything different, then without any self awareness whatsoever, they change their tune 180 degrees and you're still an idiot for expecting anything different (including what they told you last week) if people...

    Did you go to camp?

    does boy scout camp count? I did that a few times. never the generic "summer camp" or knew anyone that did. Seems like a thing for city kids.

    Fortunately there will always be someone to come along with a sensible chuckle and an air of condescension to explain why its not so simple as the market responding the way everyone expected it to go. Just so!

    eh, it looked like they'd picked a direction on Feb 2 and Feb 7 too, and thats just looking at this month alone What amazes me is there are people who try to trade daily moves like this. I've got some risk tolerance but that just seems like roulette to me.

    5 pages of claims about ""historical accuracy"" and still not one data point supporting that conclusion. (Oh wait, did someone link something proving there actually were schools run by Catholics? wow so proofy) Its neat how historical accuracy can just be asserted. "This is consistent with...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    Someone will chime in with "lol no its just a language model" entirely missing the point. What does it mean when just a language model can put on a more convincing demonstration of consciousness than most actual meatspace humans? Some Turing guy had some things to say about that question, a...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    Yeah. People keep talking about this as if its AI. Its not a brain; its more like a disconnected Broca's Area - all it has is speech production. Its a damn good Broca's Area though. Good enough to replace actual human writing in some contexts.

    Whats surprising to me is how bad it is at the most direct factual queries. It really does appear to be purely a nonsense generating algorithm. None of the listed papers exist. The links lead to other, unrelated studies.

    People who project their own inability to digest food normally on others, and decide to talk about defecation at the dinner table as a result. "Oh, youre eating cheese?

    Not only did I not catch they were gay, after rewatching the episode after the reveal I still don't see it until they kiss I know its fiction but its still kind of confusing.

    I think what you're describing is just one of the many, many applications. To continue with my silly example, nobody's going to read a movie review that reads like that. But set it to have an opinionated tone (on either side) and suddenly its as readable as any human reviewer. Poof, human movie...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    One of the major flaws with these things IMO is that they always try, by default, to give a mealy mouthed both sides kind of answer. Heres one example from a different chatbot; I get this tone constantly with chatGPT and its one of the few dead giveaways that youre talking to a robot. Probably...

    no I'm not. you people are clowns. DeNiAl of HiStOrY! I'm sure someone will come along and give me evidence that Indian Schools actually existed, and claim that proves it all, though.

    Maybe in a few years we'll be able to jusy say "chatGPT, make a movie version of the Dark Tower where the casting and plot are true to the source material" Who am I kidding.

    The big 3 missing earnings, and not just a little, is a good sign for the US economy? lol You're familiar with the old "Just-so stories", right? I'm not arguing with you, just saying anytime I complain about what the market does, someone comes along to wisely explain why it was inevitable...

    By the way. A funny workaround when chatGPT refuses to write something for you because of its political filters. You can just ask it to write the same thing, but as a monologue in a work of fiction. Its like ok no problem. for example it happily wrote this for me

    IMO the widespread (near-universal) application of this is the next level. A flawed analogy - consider how much it changed everything when computers and cameras became universally present in everyones pockets at all times. No real next level in technology was achieved. It was the same stuff...

    I mean, aside from showing disgusting shit they didnt need to show, this was the only bad part about it. Linking food and music to being a fag. "If you know how to cook or play music you're probably a fag too!" This is how actual grooming works. They link homosexuality to perfectly normal...

    Yeah, "Adam wanted annihilation". This is what they never explained. I mean, not even a little. Along with how his face got fucked up. I wonder if I slept through an episode or something.
