A friend of my parents (60+) is always showing & claiming how awesome everything in her life is. Her kids are the best. The wife's of her kids are the best. Grandchilden? The best. Her vacations are the best. Her job is great. etc etc.
That there was a huge spergout due to one of the daughter-in-law not wanting to come to her (small family only) birthday due to one of the children being sick for a while. Big back and forth for days. "We won't come." "That sucks" "Okay we come". Until the day before - after arrangements for them staying were made "We will not come". Huge spergout, husband of the friend screaming etc. Close to cancelling everything.
Do you think any random person she "just meets" after years of not seeing them will be told this? Or will the "everything is awesome" narrative be told?
Yeah, the only thing you have to do is stfu and make a decent product. If you want browny points then champion generic stuff that everyone likes. Some alcohol addiction charity. No drunk driving. No drinking during pregnancy.
"The female player [who was tackled], who does not want to be identified for a variety of reasons — including not wanting to hurt anybody’s feelings and being labelled a bigot — is not against anybody who is transitioning or any trans person. In fact, it is the opposite. She said even after the game, she found Ash [the tranny] to be friendly and talkative after the game. "
Yes They support it. So I don't care about them.
Only know the story of adviceanimal.
Basically the current mods didn't want to go dark. Top mod came back after basically a year of being inactive and said "Hey, we go dark" and hit the button. One of the other mods petitioned to get top mod. He got it.
Basically the same thing that happened at the original KiA.
AI is not intelligent. The end.
It doesn't understand shit. It's trained by human reinforcement (RLHF) to give results that sound "good". That random humans will say "Hey, that sounds intelligent / makes sense".
I think by now everyone heard of the case of a guy being blamed for something criminal (money laundering?) by chatgpt. He never did this.
Same with image generation AI. If I tell it "generate me a human" it doesn't know what a human is. I have to add negative prompts like "too many fingers" to even get to basic ideas like "a human has 5 fingers". You can't even say "human with 5 fingers", because it doesn't understand what a "finger" is.
That also is all the reason why "AI" in art works great. If it fucks up something like generating a shitty image - you just go again. If your AI doesn't detect a child running on the street - you have a dead child.
Fun recent article about the topic in general: https://lcamtuf.substack.com/p/llms-are-better-than-you-think-at
If you want a fun experience that lasts for 2-3 weeks then yes. It's definitely good. Many of my friends like it. They will most likely stop playing the game though after 2 months.
If there is any long term stability to the game though remains to be seen. Too early to tell.
inviting girls up to a "Cosby Suite" for obvious Weinstein shit, and then spreading nudes of said girls around the company until one killed herself.
You're mixing thiings up. Cosby Suite was fangirls at Blizzcon and none of their nudes were spread. Suicide girl wasn't even Blizzard, but Activision (or King don't remember).
And I do believe the Cosby Suite stuff. Blizzard devs saw themselves as rockstars (see Metzen's behaviour at Blizzcons, though I don't think he was involved with the CS).
But it's the women's fault. "Hey girl, you seem nice. Want to join me and some other fellow devs in our suite for a more private party?" And when you show up it's only male devs and female fans. Everyone with half a brain knows what this is about. And the women agreed to everything.
Just like fangirls and bands/musicians.
Heck, reddit's front page right now has a megathread discussing how Lyft's official reddit account doxed a user (instant permaban)
A first name is not a dox. The fun thing about the story though is that the woman - when confronted with being called by her first name - is to post about it more on reddit. Almost as if she doesn't really care about it. Without her TIFU post most people would never have heard of Claire.
To quote someone else about this woman moment: "WHOA EVERYONE! DID YOU SEE THAT I GOT DOXXED IN ANOTHER THREAD?? YOU SHOULD CHECK IT OUT AND SEE THAT I GOT DOXXED!"
Honestly nothing, but that has more to do with me no longer buying games at release. My backlog is so large that I can easily wait 1-2 years to have the game get cheaper.
Rogue Trader is interesting me the most of this year's releases.
Not sure if they release this year, but Ostranauts and Gloomwood might be exceptions I'd buy as soon as they leave early access. Gloomwood is similiar to Thief (my favourite series of all time) and Ostranauts is from the devs of NEO Scavenger.
Will never happen. It's not like the actors can be "Well, then I go to Hollywood2 and work there!". Without Hollywood they are regular people with no skills. Sure their name will help them for a few years, but that will run out eventually.
