On the one hand they already sound borderline LLM generated, but on the other unless the person writing the LLM prompts is intentionally trying to sabotage the administration the LLM wouldn't go out of its way to piss off as many people as possible like it's been doing the last week.

I'm torn between thinking that it would be very difficult or very easy for his cabinet to replace Trump with an LLM.

Once a year I remember I made the baby eating mod for Fallout 3 and go have a blast reading all the angry comments on it.

I am reminded of the immortal words of frog "Philip K. Dickgirl" kosaric.

Watching a let's play of Xenonauts 2 got me jonesing for Xcom fix too. It definitely looks a little hardcore for me, so I'll probably try to go XCom EW -> XCom 2.

Cash App is also free and worked great for me. But I'm definitely hiring a real tax accountant next year because they'll probably also start being shitty and overcharging after they eat enough of Intuit's market share.

AI sends a very clear message: "I don't care enough to put in the time, effort, and/or money to do this properly." If you're not okay with sending that message, don't use AI.

They're calling it a "breaching charge"

[0006735] Praying to God crashes game

Not really the fight itself, but beating the final boss of Chrono Cross with the method that unlocks the true ending was so satisfying that it made me feel like it was worth trudging all the way through what was otherwise a pretty disappointing game.

Oh hey! I remember that dog from Bloom County!

Advertising.

These are just Surfing Pikachus in their 40s.

I misread that first line as "Did he kill u?" which leads to a very different and potentially more fascinating story. Are they deposing a ghost via seance? Did the victim become a zombie but they're too afraid the murderer might kill them again if they testify?

In my head I'm reading Parsons with the voice of Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler. Highly recommend.

I'd also have settled for "Trick question: puzzle games are not commercially viable."

Does "solving difficult puzzles" fall under digging a hole or fighting a last stand against unbeatable odds?

AU where capitalists are furiously trying to develop and distribute recreational drugs to stop the dopamine overload that makes people lose interest in the instant gratification of AI gen.

I didn't get it. I looked at who posted it. I looked again harder. I cringed.

If you have android pebblebee is great. I have one on my keys, my wallet, and my bone conduction headset. Basically the things I take everywhere with me and need to grab before leaving the house.

Even indie game exclusives are usually timed exclusives. I have trouble believing that Epic offered them enough to make up for the difference in lifetime sales they'd get also releasing their AAA game on Steam. Which means either poor decision making or desperation by management.

Alan Wake 2 being an Epic Exclusive was a sign to me that something was starting to go wrong over there.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

When I was first starting out at my job debugging set-top boxes I got handed a bug that required watching PPV movies, and this was one of the movies I ended up watching the majority of while testing.

Turns out running a justice system based on rule of law is hard when your secret police don't obey court orders and keep arresting people on charges that won't stick.

Why bother with firearms training when there's no consequences for shooing people?

That seems like it would be a complete violation of the rule of law though. /s

I can't promise much interesting activity besides an alarming amount of playtime in FFXIV.

In either of those cases gen AI is not stealing money from anyone because nobody was ever going to get paid to create it and it doesn't matter if the product is bad, because the alternative would also have been bad.

My criteria for deciding whether gen AI is acceptable for something is "If gen AI didn't exist would the alternative be either A. it doesn't get made and nobody cares or B. I do it myself really really badly and nobody cares?" If the answer is yes, gen AI is probably fine.
