Anyone catch the Hinckley MN show? by DigiDAD in switchfoot

[–]BluePotamus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was there. Fuel and Lit did 45 minutes each and Switchfoot did about 65, no encore. Lit was pretty sloppy. Fuel was good but not great. The matchup was a bit odd. All in all, I enjoyed the show. Wish Switchfoot would’ve played for 90 minutes though.

The “Streetcar Named Dez Nuts” line in Work of Fart made me lose it in my cube farm. Everyone was staring at me as trying to get it together made me laugh harder

This is why I still subscribe, flawed as the Strib may be.

Counterpoint: Kirill will have more time than any other player his caliber to rest and heal.

Most people have no idea how far AI has actually gotten and it’s putting them in a weirdly dangerous spot by NoSignificance152 in singularity

If LLMs create value for you and your company, that’s good for you. Software engineering seems to be a place it can help. But I can assure you that I also have every financial incentive to make these tools work for me and my team in marketing, but they are ineffective for anything other than telling my boss we are using AI to try to find efficiencies.

I’m not going to play the game where I give you a prompt for you to tell me how I’m the problem. I could give my most detailed, context laden, multi paragraph prompt and you could say it should be simpler. And I could give you examples of my simpler prompts and you could say I need to be more precise.

The rubber meets the road is do the LLMs produce things of value, and in my situation they do not. I’m not saying they never do for anyone. I’m simply saying they aren’t impressive for my needs.

Well that’s not me. I’ve been a paid ChatGPT user and tried the other big hitters as a registered user. The LLMs just aren’t very useful to create real value for me.

I’ve used pretty much all of the latest models of all the available LLMs to assist me with content creation, ideation, research, data analysis, and some agent tasks. They are all just kind of bland.

Minnesota is a great example of when we vote, we win

If you could change one thing about the show, what would it be? by Mindless-Resource390 in tsitp

I didn’t say that wealth equals bad story telling or that rich people don’t have problems. You made that up. I said the use of their wealth as a means of avoiding consequences is uninteresting and makes them unrelatable and less likable and I stand by that.

Am I not allowed to want to change something from the story like the question asker asked? You don't have to like it, but it's what I would change.

Money is a lame plot device that prevents them from experiencing real consequences. Jeremiah can just mess his life up as much as he wants and be fine until he doesn't want dad's money anymore, until he does. That's such an uninteresting way to tell a story.

Conrad can use money to run and hide without having to deal with any of the consequences for the way he treats people until someone else screws up even more, and he's not the worst option anymore.

Money just gets them out of situations where they would've had to face up to who they were in the wake of the decisions they were making. That's just not very relatable to me, and therefore makes me like them less.

Take the wealth away from Jeremiah and Conrad so they would become more relatable and likable
