Conveniently, this could be a path to competence for those juniors in the long term.

Yeah just start your own instance on a different planet with situations that only provoke your preferred amount of existential dread!

Barring that you’re going to be stuck identifying the sources of this widespread misery and trying to help people overcome it. For most people that might be difficult but I don’t know your budget so I won’t assume. There’s also the option of interacting with machines that pose as happier humans but your goal overall seems contrary to growing that 80% by adding yourself unless I misread your intent.

Hmm, I’m beginning to think this internet bullshit might not be the best way to get a crab.

“New York Life all said they’ve never hired prompt engineers, but instead found that—to the extent better prompting skills are needed—it was an expertise that all existing employees could be trained on.”

Are you telling me that the jobs invented to support a bullshit technology that lies are themselves ALSO bullshit lies?

How could this happen??

Finishing this post and then seeing other lemmy clients show the text correctly was an unexpected treat.

I’d like to thank the jerboa devs as well as the US education system for making me the clown I am today.

Saigot dismissed the alarm and pressed POST. His illuminating text, rightly identifying the shit nature of the meme, was abstracted into a billion electrons, photons, and radio waves racing across the planet. The message was out now; the hard part was done. He leaned back against the soft padding of the chair from which he surveyed the confusion. How much damage had been done? What on earth possessed this lunatic to create something to utterly unhelpful?

–the camera zooms out of Saigot’s window to a cloudless night, panning up to a stark, ominously full moon. The moon dominates the frame and stares back at the viewer… or through them… for a second too long. The pan continues down to another building, another window, entering another room in a much rougher part of town–

Countrypunk would realize the irony of what had happened in a few hours, but for the moment nothing existed or mattered beyond the line of potash and the sharp card edge that neatly shaped it. When it finally met his standards he reached into the drawer but hesitated at the only thing his hand found. Slowly, he drew out the crazy straw. The last thing his father had given him before disappearing that night so many years ago. “Fuck you too.” He dismissed the old memory and it joined the nagging background noise with all the other things that would be a million miles away in a few seconds. At any other time he’d struggle to keep a steady hand but that promised ochre bliss gave him a terrifying focus. He raised the many-looped tube to his face and closed his eyes. The self loathing, the regret, even the tiny notification noise saying his post had gotten a reply all disappeared. He inhaled sharply and the potassium raced through him until there was nothing. Nothing but the dull roar of orange lightning.

I don’t have a complete walkthrough for you, but I’m considering doing this with comfyui and tailscale. searching for details on those should at give you a place to start!

I think you’re right, but this is usually a developer skill issue. This UE developer thread was really useful in understanding the ‘why’ of ugly motion blur for me. https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/correct-motion-blur-values-to-use/131392

I saw Nick Cutter and wanted to ask this as well. The Troop was such a fantastic book with vile description and really left an impression on me. Fuck you Shelley.

Can someone explain the fourth panel? What’s the significance of the big red X and why is the background a pair of idiot knife ears making out in that wooden hellscape? I know it’s nauseating to look at their weird bald faces for too long but I’d appreciate the help. Probably some human nonsense.

If you still have that save file, you might consider tasteful use of an editor to give yourself a chance. If not though I’m sorry to hear that. BG1/2 were a huge part of my childhood and my longtime favorite villain came from the second.

So you took the literal scenario (woman in wheelchair gets insulting comment asking if her disability affects her sexually) and inverted it so that the insultor is disadvantaged against a hypothetical celebrity who causes them social harm. Why? Autism isn’t a fucking pallisade and it shouldn’t be used to counter attack legitimate points. You’re the one doing damage to perceptions of autistic people. Please stop.

Black hat and Defcon just ended and I’ll share my impression from LLM related talks given there. Microsoft VPs charged additional money to CISOs attending the summit talking about how AI will disrupt and be the future and blah blah magical thinking.

Meanwhile Microsoft engineers and others said things like “this is logarithmic regression for people who are bad at math, and is best for cases where 75% accuracy is good enough. Try to break use cases into as many steps as possible and keep the LLM away from any automation that could have any consequences. These systems have no separation between the control plane and user input, which is re-exposing us to problems that were solved 15 years ago.”

I think there are some neat possibilities that are lost in marketing hype as venture capitalist anger grows that they might have been scammed by yet another hammer in search of nails.

It seems like you want people to examine their long held beliefs and customs, adopt your view that they are harmful and unethical, and change their behavior to match yours. A change that may have specific hurdles unknown to you for every individual.

Humans, being social animals, don’t typically react with reason to things that they percieve to be antagonistic. They tend to mirror hostility and are most likely to fight or disengage when facing an opponent, and cleave to the safety of the groups that accept them.

Just or not, the act of starting an interaction sets the tone. You’re completely justified in attacking villains and shaming them, but when you throw a devil costume on someone I don’t think you should be surprised when you get pitchforked.
