You're literally disagreeing with the D&D Players Manual about what the alignment "evil" means in a discussion about whether evil D&D races like Drow could actually have a functional society. And thinking your disagreement on the matter has any bearing on anything. Its the fucking manual...

This is what I mean. You're wrong about what evil is, and that leads to your inaccurate statement. I will quote here from the authority, You have a cartoonish view of evil. You pretend that only psychopaths -- who by definition are abberations -- are evil. Read the definition given above. I...

I knew you'd get predictably pissy about my comment. People who make statements like yours have a cartoon view of evil. Once you acknowledge what evil actually is, and look around, you realize my statement was correct. I dunno where you came up with 20% but we probably always have at least that...

Define "operate a society". I don't disagree with your overall premise but theres degrees of operation, and the decline of a society can take a long time. Modern American society is easily way over 20% explicitly evil people. It isnt even close.

Wait why would you choose to browse the internet on a 1440p display when you could browse it on a 4 inch screen with approximately 12 to 16 pixels? Silly boomers

eh, mid well to well done

Ever since I became aware of this stuff, every now and then I'm troubled by the thought that maybe human consciousness operates exactly the same way, with just a few superficial layers on top of it. These things just work so well. And remind me so much of a human bullshitter. And a human...

OK thats a fair point but all I'm seeing is mentions of chatGPT making math errors. Did the answers from the LLM produced teaching materials turn out to be wrong? Also, even if we rule this out for any math courses (and I think thats still debatable because its based on what a single LLM can...

When I said "online content" I was not referring to "online content for hard sciences at undergraduate level", I was being much more general. Look, it all comes down to error rate. I'm just saying there were plenty of errors in existing teaching materials. The question should not be "how can...

Solutions in (pre-AI) teaching material are often incorrect. Like Qhue said, this stuff was the academic grunt labor. It wasnt farmed out to the best and brightest. Don't get me wrong, LLMs produce good looking bullshit a lot of the time. The thing is, that describes most of academia too. And...

It has ruined the fucking internet. There was a time they made seperate mobile sites (m.sitename). Now they just skip the regular website, and design it for fucking idiots on their fucking smartphones. Once we had an internet. Now everything is tiktok instead. The internet is gone.

what is it with asians and just burning the everliving shit out of eggs in every street food video. If your eggs are brown and crispy thats fucking burnt garbage. Somehow I can smell it through the monitor. That fucking sulfur burnt egg stench, fml

I dunno, seems way too charming to me I still like this guy for the part, shame it'll never get made

if you're not putting salt on them they arent french fies. fight me.

Dunno what Christianity has to do with it. Women who don't want to show off their vulva to strangers, and invite strangers to check out their vaginal details, shouldnt wear them in public. Women who are into that sort of thing should feel free.

wait you don't believe in domestication either? even when it doesnt change species? are poodles the result of breeding from some wolf-life ancestor or have they always existed in something like their present form?

Dark was great but Dark fans give it way too much fucking leeway for that complete copout of an ending. Still best scifi I've seen on TV in maybe 10 years. But fuck that non ending.

But again, chatgpt is one of thousands, and even some of those being publicly tested do better at this task.

I'm not sure all those "dumb poor Americans" are specifically worried that FDIC won't insure their deposits. I suspect its more a general and poorly defined fear of a bank run scenario, fueled by the reality that banks don't actually hold your deposit in cash in the safe, and by all the general...

This is coming for anyone whos job is to "produce content". And thats not a bad thing. Humans should be more than machines. If your job can be done by a machine, it should be, and there are no exceptions. Whats funny to me is watching the variety of red lines people have drawn. "Oh its ok if...

You guys realize chatGPT is one of the toy LLMs they released to the public, not the only LLM and certainly not the most advanced. Right? There are many (hundreds? Thousands?) of these things in training and development right now. Some of them quite specialized for script writing specifically...

I've probably posted this before but will probably continue reposting it occasionally until it fucking stops. When you write someone an email, and instead of writing back with an answer, they fucking call you. This always means one thing: they're a dishonest fuck who's gonna say something...

In fairness, I would have laughed at moon landing deniers my whole life too. After the last couple of years, I'm sorry, but that shit is back on the list of "they might have lied about that too". Now that we know they would and we know they can get away with it, the only question is whether...

Theres a reason TV writers are the ones worried about this. AI can absolutley write scripts as good as network TV, right now. Over at dataannotation they're paying $20+ an hour to evaluate them, and I'd say about 1/10 of them are already pretty much TV quality. I suspect the process spronk...

lol color blind confirmed, those are not the same thing at all. Unless you're just calling all baked goods the same thing (hey its all just flour baked in the oven man!) No, biscuits don't have sugar in them. Scones do. They're a sweet baked good. They're different things.

This is a biscuit. Gravy not included. This is a scone. Biscuits arent inherently savory, they're just plain. Like bread. You could go savory or sweet. FWIW I don't see anything especially odd about making savory pies with meat. (Unless its fucking kidneys or some shit thats supposed to be...

It seems like this may be your first Lumi encounter. I'm not sure whether to offer condolences or just say, strap in and enjoy the ride. Cause it is one *hell* of a ride. Lumi, are viruses real? How about DNA?

This, all day. I lived part of my childhood on a goat farm. There is a reason goats are associated with Satan. Get anything but goats. Literally anything.

Its weird to me. Neither the UK nor Australia appear to have biscuits, as a concept. I mean putting aside the silly language issues (i.e. that they call cookies biscuits, pronounce scones as "skahns", etc.) They don't seem to have the concept at all. Whereas other foods they still have, but...

The standard republican playbook is: complain, fundraise, capitulate. Pretty sure that'll be the play this time too but who knows. Maybe they'll just go straight to capitulate this time.

This. #1 tip for not cutting your hands to shit on a mandolin

I'm just unclear why you went with Asian. Kangs a white dude. Looks a lot like Howard Stark. If the goal was making fun of woke casting bullshit I believe the correct choice is a deaf lesbian. If we're going for accurate casting plus funny multiverse shenanigans lets just get RDJ in the role.

Sexual selection and mate choice. Animals generally choose a mate that has similar characteristics as the mate chosen by their parents, since mate choice has a large genetic component. Take a look at that claw. Deep in the past, a female crab chose to get it on with the crab with the larger...

I sometimes comfort myself that the absurd "lets pretend black chicks can be pretty" campaign Hollywood has going will lose, that it can't beat basic biology. Then I read shit like that. 'She's the ""attractive"" diversity casting choice!" It is fucking crazy how powerful propaganda is. It can...

Its more direct and open than I've heard in his usual public statements. The American public has not digested this yet. That his vision - the only vision for how we could possible bring down inflation - is that everyone's wages stop growing or even fall. Then slowly inflation rates go down. Of...

Thats my issue with it. In the "music" in question, the "artist" is neither playing an instrument nor singing. Its literally not music, by any reasonably definition, any more than Dylan Mulvaney is a woman. But we're asked to be impressed that AI has matched this "music". I'll be legitimately...

I lived in TX for 7 years and my wife is from OK. I havent seen all of OK, but I've seen enough to know there is no motherfucking way I'd ever live there. Fuck heat. If its over 100F ever, I'm fucking moving. There are plenty of places with climates that don't make me want to burn the universe...

I'd say we should save that title for series that bothered to tell the main story instead of dickteasing for 3 seasons then just flat out refusing to tell it and declaring "its over, thats the story"

what a clickbait letdown. AI ""music"". it'd be wild if AI really could write music someday though

I mean that would obviously be preferable except for the tradeoff that was the whole point of my post. I've moved around a shitload, lived in most regions of this country. I don't know of a red state with a decent climate. (also, fuck states without an ocean, not living there)
