NGL, if this premiere were two full weeks (instead of one) before you could watch it in theaters, I'd probably be more into the gimmick.

It's increasingly obvious that when they accuse the "Left" of something wild, it's because they themselves are trying to do that thing.

I feel like any company with a good internal engine could probably license it with similar terms and just eat Epic’s lunch right now. Zenimax? Activision? Anyone? #unrealengine #gamedev

If Grok doubles down when you call it out, it’s because that’s what happens in the majority of cases in its training set. Which we already know, and is why we got off Twitter in the first place, I assume.

I think it’s very telling that an AI trained heavily on Twitter is so readily able to respond like an alt-right chud. Poetically, you can’t gain any headway by telling it that it’s wrong, because it doesn’t understand “wrong”, or anything else. There is only the training data and context.

Grok isn’t sentient. It doesn’t “know” what you’re talking about. All it does is read in its instructions and then read in the tweet history, and regurgitate what the training data suggests is statistically the most likely response.

So the thing about AI is that it’s a probability machine. All of LLM is just a statistical regurgitation of whatever it was trained on. Things like prompts will certainly sway it more towards certain kinds of responses; but the training data determines what it’s capable or outputting.

This shit is why I’m glad I was able to move over to Linux this year.

Minecraft Bedrock is like the only reason I still keep Windows installed somewhere. Java is great, of course, but Bedrock has a lot of reasons I have to go back to it every now and then. And for those times, I go back to Windows (the Linux Bedrock launcher that uses the Android version is... meh).

I wish I had something useful to say. I'm sure you've looked into all the tools available on Linux, as have I, and some tools just don't have a good replacement and aren't usable via Wine. Keep cycling back, and hopefully something will appear eventually. 🤞

An orange caterpillar with long hairs originating from black dots; climbing a smooth concrete wall

I finally discovered some of those toxic caterpillars I’ve heard so much about here in Japan. I just got a small grazing, but definitely not recommended in general.

it finally happened

after almost two years, someone finally got us mixed up with dre's record label and sent us a demo

This feels like reporting that there is nothing to report…

Aaaand there it is. Assholes online ruining others’ fun because their fragile egos can only get a rise if they are actively stepping on someone else. Class.

This is the future we need right now.

They’re not real fruit I picture, but they kind of look like mangoes, I guess? Hanging from probably an apple tree. It occurs to me that I have no idea what kind of plant mangoes come from…

This is not why I followed IGN, so... I guess I unfollow now.

Finally watched John Carpenter’s “Escape from New York”. God I miss movies that were just simple and weird and a bit silly.

Having read The Road, this is 100% a correct take. It... is not good "game" material.

Therapy is expensive, and a lot of people were raised to feel shame for talking about their struggles. I can understand the appeal of using a machine incapable of judgment as a stand-in. Especially when the machine is really good at generating text that sounds like it cares.

Did we ever answer the question why this happened? 🤣

I have been playing this game in much the same way that I watch films like The Super Mario Bros. Movie from the 90s—not because it’s super good, but because around every corner is something hilariously janky, yet familiar. It’s such a laugh, and I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the horse hijinx.

Missing a bit of Bernie to learn that sounds like a good trade off to me! 🙌

Y'know, I'd been considering grabbing this game right up until someone compared it to Outer Wilds. I really did not get on with the repetitive parts of that game. Bored me too much, made me too motion sick, and at some point I just gave up trying to be interested in it.

So I dunno, maybe I'll pass.

As someone who gave up on Outer Wilds, I feel this. (I mostly just got frustrated because I kept being reset, and I very much do not have the headspace to be remembering and re-choosing what to do each cycle when the timing is so tight.

Also, repeating the first steps every loop was boring af.

Reminds me of thoughts I had while working as a game designer in mobile. Especially, I hated words like “addictive”; but in general I hated MOST adjectives — they don’t help clarify or justify your design doc. Adjectives in game design docs are propaganda.

Can confirm, they're enormous.
