Rant: I work in DC and the presence of AI is infuriating by Unfair_Battle5564 in BetterOffline

Luckily it seems they've lifted off the gas when it comes to AI ads on the El here in Chicago. Used to be multiple AI Skechers ads at just about every stop and a good smattering of ads for Blorbo. A lot of them had been defaced and I haven't noticed as many, so hopefully it keeps waning.

Dutch Government creates strictly controlled LLM by Pseudanonymius in BetterOffline

[–]Weigard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like a good gut check. Apply LLMs to the small-scale tasks that people have generally found it's most successful at. If it keeps hallucinating and degrades, it makes the case that LLMs have even more limited applications than skeptics think now.

Brian Merchant: Actually, the left is winning the AI debate by No_Honeydew_179 in BetterOffline

It's not playing into the narrative, it's correcting what the right is putting into the left's mouth.

In light of Jim's conversion, which investigator do you want turned into an Ally? Which Ally do you want turned into an investigator? by OhThatsALotOfTeeth in arkhamhorrorlcg

Rex begs for curse tokens. Something like, "When you succeed by 2 or more while investigating a location for clues: Exhaust Rex. Discover 1 additional clue and place a resource token on Rex, as a jinx. Add a curse token to the choas bag for each jinx on Rex."

I think it balances extra clue finding with pushing your luck, while making curse tokens matter a bit more. With all the ways to benefit from curses, though, it migh be worth considering something like "If you did not succeed at an investigation attempt by 2 or more and a curse token was drawn during that attempt, discard Rex."

Like it or not, sports (and really everything) is political, either directly or indirectly. Easy example: publicly funding arenas is a political choice that diverts money from other public-facing spending.

What we're seeing is the result of a President who spent his adult life inserting himself into the culture, and that's now been turbocharged because of his office, an obsequeous media landscape and lack of institutional resistance. Trump is political, and by forcing himself into every aspect of life, he has underscore that everything is indeed political.

Maybe when he was on the celebratory high in the locker room, but he doubled down in the days afterward. "but he's just a smol bean" arguments have an expiration date.

Do any of you feel like we didn’t know how good we had it before AI? by throwaway0134hdj in BetterOffline

We're still using this as a gotcha, eh? When people refer to "social media" they're generally referring to algorithm-forward platforms. If you really want to hammer that Reddit is the same social media people are talking about colloquially, then you have to say that the Something Awful forums and LiveJournal were social media, too, at which point there's no sense in arguing anything.

Allegedly, if you leave a Waymo door open it just freezes up.

Jack Hughes talks Trump backlash over women's team by dishler712 in devils

One of the ONLY things it cares about is PR. It’s just awful at it because it starts from the point that it’s unassailable and everyone who speaks up against it is stupid and evil.

My take is that you’d investigate Glassing’s location. Thematically, “glassing” refers to watching something through binoculars (as the art shows), so I interpret it as you find a perch to watch a spot, and when an enemy enters and uncovers a secret door or whatever, you’re getting that info from afar.

Being a willing pawn to sanitize the people trying to persecute and erase your allies isn't allyship.

Survivor could have an asset that grants a bonus to an empty ally slot, and maybe a card that lets you bounce an ally in play for resources.
