it’s gambling for children is why. While I can choose to not buy the MTX inside a game, children and some young adults are more vulnerable to psychologically manipulative dark patterns that have been designed to mimic addiction as closely as possible.

then don’t make single player games (or sections of games) require a server.

no it’s not real

NaN naan Jeremy that’s insane

TIL - thanks

there aren’t that many, if you’re talking specifically LLMs, but ML+AI is more than LLMs.

Not a defence or indictment of either side, just people tend to confuse the terms “LLM” and “AI”

I think there could be worth in AI for identification (what insect in this, find the photo I took of the receipt for my train ticket last month, order these chemicals from lowest to highest pH…) - but LLMs are only part of that stack - the input and output - which isn’t going to make many massive breakthroughs week to week.

those who play games, and those who are LGBTQIA+ are both people

No one lobbied me lol. They cross bred a petunia with a mushroom. It’s roughly the same concept as when humans bred maize.

_ (sic) as a variable name is often used when a function returns multiple outputs but you only want one

 def my_function:
      return 1, 2, 3

 _, two, _ = my_function()

I wouldn’t say being unable to buy your own soap is rugged

“fucking oak what the fuck” still works so not that different

ive actually used it at work for stuff like “when did Wendy approve the design? did she send it to brian?” when I have 5 different email threads over 3 different organizations, with 10 different respondees. But in personal use I would never.

it also causes loss in bone density causing osteoporosis, debilitates fat absorbson causing heart disease, causes men to grow breasts and women to lose them, and can cause anemia, infertility, depression and diabetes.

These side effects can be permanent after stopping the medication
