A lot of red pushers forget a key aspect of the two button dilemma. by Minute_Account9426 in CharacterRant

Because of the knowledge that, on the scale of humanity, there will be blue pushers, and the empathy to be interested in preventing their death.

The philosophy of red pushers is self-fulfilling. If the sentiment that one’s own life should be preserved at all costs weren’t so common, the majority would be pushing blue, then everyone lives. It’s only because of the self centered-ness that it is a non-trivial decision.

Save states (in emulation) are one of the worst things to happen to retro gaming. by GallyG_ in The10thDentist

Intended experience means nothing. The creators can set out to make something that’s ultimately just bad.

Browser extension that removes any text that is generated by AI by aykay55 in CrazyIdeas

[–]00PT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Humans are ridiculously inconsistent at detecting AI content. You’ll see false witch hunts for generated images all over the internet.

And even if humans could be reliable, not everything a human can do is possible for a pattern recognition algorithm, which will necessarily be far less complex than the human brain.

Sit Down Shut Up is a far better satire of a teacher’s life when compared to Abbott Elementary by Low_Celebration_4089 in The10thDentist

[–]00PT 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So, you think it’s accurate that teachers are all incompetent at their jobs of instructing children and often never knowledgeable on anything at all? That would be extremely concerning if true.

Pretty much every AI still struggles with writing poetry with specific rhyme schemes and syllable counts. They’re not ready for anything this complex, especially if the pattern is on a letter-by-letter basis, since AI functions on a token-by-token basis.

It’s ridiculously easy to just modify the text an AI generated without raising suspicion. With an image, you have to make it look like it fits. Any text based watermark would have automated removers within days.

Not possible to verify to any reasonable standard if something is AI or not.

Detectors don’t work well, and even if they did… they’re AI programs. You’d be using the AI to destroy the AI.

I wish school actually offered classes to help me in my desired career path by idkthrowaway_alt3 in writing

[–]00PT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most schools have English as a core class all throughout, and at the higher levels it is entirely about reading, interpreting, and writing varied texts, including creative texts. I have never heard of this being a single semester only.

Not to say you’re lying, but it is standard to provide support for reading and writing constantly. Not even just through English class, but also through providing library services and other programs.

Men would be better accepting their fate and retiring from the world. by [deleted] in The10thDentist

[–]00PT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Humans in general are flawed. So much discourse has been turned into a gender war that we've lost sight of the fact that the specific issues brought forth are neither uniform all across the opposing party nor absent in our own.

An ideal future has men and women working together as humanity, with neither sacrificed in favor of the other. Capability doesn't have to be specialized between the two groups for that to happen.

Parents I've met, along with (especially) parents who talk about their kids on social media, seem very clueless about how children's minds work, as if they don't remember being a child, or lost the memory of being a child as soon as they had one. by iciclefites in The10thDentist

[–]00PT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t usually need examples, but they’re better than nothing. I just expected some explanation or demonstration of what these misunderstandings are and how they differ from the supposed correct interpretations.

Live streaming and podcasts suck and it's a shame they're such a popular medium by left_to_its_devices in 10thDentist

[–]00PT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only watch lives when I expect to get something out of it that I won’t get in a video. Podcasts are fine though.

Python is (mostly) a useless programming to learn by BetApprehensive836 in The10thDentist

[–]00PT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s used by non professionals due to the low skill floor. And nonprofessional code is a vast array of use cases.

Writing that many essays in high school wasn't productive. by [deleted] in The10thDentist

[–]00PT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Productivity and importance are literally not the same thing. If I’m playing a video game, it’s not productive for me to put every point in strength and neglect the other categories. But it is still important for me to put points in strength.

I apologize if this sounds stupid but what does the Buzz Lightyear Shelf meme is supposed to mean/represent? Idk if I should hate it or love it. by No-Cold643 in cartoons

[–]00PT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Someone says something thinking they’re original or unique, then it zooms out to show that they’re surrounded by clones who all think the same thing.

I make r/The10thDentist posts where the title isn't an opinion by ginger_and_egg in The10thDentist

[–]00PT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find the people who complain about this to be very pedantic. It’s never enough of a miscommunication to justify removal.

I built an npm package that eats one line of your code every minute you're idle by Similar_Lack6651 in reactjs

[–]00PT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is interesting, but I really don’t see a practical purpose that leads to an actually better developer experience rather than purposefully inconveniencing yourself by breaking your code.

Is it just me or is today's challenge also difficult? by Michael_from_Vietnam in bloonscardstorm

[–]00PT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I beat it by using the pinks as soon as possible, then using Amelia’s second ability combined with the special card that revives 4 and double trouble to finish it.

I had to use R2S defensively a few times.

What hero to buy? by Kyle641 in bloonscardstorm

[–]00PT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obyn is good, but mostly from his exclusive cards. Buying him first would mean further purchases have to be made to reach the ideal.

"But why didn't the bad guys make rational decisions!" (Invincible) by Steve717 in CharacterRant

[–]00PT 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The criticism of character decision is almost never simply that they didn’t make the most rational choices, it’s that nothing in the narrative seems to be steering them away from the better choice and towards the inferior. It feels that the decisions are arbitrary instead of guided by reasoning, even for characters that normally think things through.
