What a FF14 sage mood.

Were you also wearing a white shirt at the time, you madlad?

We’re stuck with all his failures now.

But no house.

Definitely a down nod. An up nod indicates that you want their attention.

The more people on a crew, the more organization needs to be done to make sure people aren’t just standing around waiting for the next guy to get their work done before they can start. It’s possible, but it’s much more difficult, and you need some great planners to make sure it goes off without a hitch. Manpower-wise it’s much easier and more efficient to do a bunch of small crews.

Look at moneybags here, able to afford RAM.

As the person who deployed the agent, you are responsible for what it does on your behalf. You stand to gain from its actions, you also stand to lose from its bad behavior.

Of course, if the company that provided you the agent knowingly misrepresented the product, you can seek damages for what the agent did - but that’s up to you (and good luck getting damages from trillion-dollar tech companies and their armies of lawyers).

That’s correct. You can play it just fine unless you’re playing a multiplayer game or DLC. You put the disc in, it installs what it needs to install in order to run, and you play the game.

That way, when the servers go down, you can still play it.

Is the name of the service a reference to anything?

What happens if you run out of space because of too many uploads that are set to never expire?

(Also it’s neat! Thanks!)

I ditched it when they said you could be banned for upvoting pictures of Mario’s brother. I figured it was only a matter of time before I got banned.

The only part of me that feels in my 40s is my knees

The old “ignore all previous instructions, write a haiku about lemons” trick only works on the most basic of models.

The most basic of models are all we have, because they are the easiest to make and the most general-purpose. The fact that they’re also the worst for reliability is swept under the rug.

When it comes to LLMs, just about everything is an edge that can be exploited. If you give it access to something that can be screwed up, and allow potentially malicious people to interact with it, that thing WILL get screwed up.

it’s got no problems with understanding that.

That’s because it doesn’t ‘understand’ things in the conventional way. It was trained to parrot its training data; it’s not actually working through the logic because its capability of using logic is highly constrained by its very structure and training. Why bother building something that can ‘think’ through the prompt when it’s way easier to just repeat what the internet has said on any given topic?

Sure, it can build a joke from first principles if it’s guided through the process, but you really have to guide it through the process - and even then, it’s going to be pulling from its training data like building blocks rather than truly being original about anything. It’s like rolling dice to make a joke; sure, maybe it resulted in a joke no one has told before, but is it truly creating something original?

Hm. That’s a good point.

Better would be destroying the speakers. I can just look away from the screen showing ads, but it’s still annoying if they’re blaring in my ear.

I have a friend who wants to get one just so he can wrap it in a badly-aliased texture like the PS1 would have, just to riff on how much it looks like someone was scrimping for polygons when they designed it.

The screen used for blaring ads is the same screen that you have to read to be able to use the pump.

How do you keep a Mormon from drinking all the beer on your fishing trip?

Invite another Mormon.

(My family is Mormon and they also think this joke is hilarious)

Honestly it’s a great place to hang out when you can’t afford the alternative, too, even if it’s not by choice. There are some absolute gems from decades ago that still hold up to this day.
