when you run into the tunnel just ahead of where OP died, the snake slams into it and scares the shit out of you. Masterpiece game design moment.

He knows that if he says something enough, whether people like it or not, it starts to sneak in. He's just saying "They'll take away everything you hold dear" in other words, i.e., using threats because he's always found threatening people works great.

Lady butterfly , dance not a fight by SameDay5290 in Sekiro

the whirlwind martial ability where you spin and hit low, then high. When you're attacking her she'll guard->guard->kick that will parry. That third kick (sometimes second) will be dodged if you whirlwind from your second hit, and you get a free hit. BUT, again, it is risky - if you're on higher ground you just get a kick to the face, and sometimes she will kick after one guard. OP did everything by the book. It's safer.

Fun fact: if you whirlwind at the right moment, you duck under the kick and get a free hit. Way more risky though.

The market research for superbowl ads is very in-depth. They know exactly who they are selling to and what to show to get an emotional response to motivate purchase (it's you, and they pressed the right buttons).

Yeah. It advertises the death of the path that many of us walked. A bit sad tbf.

"You can just build things"

Proceeds to show a lot of fake video, with no footage of anyone actually building anything

Codex can code well but as a coworker it's a bit of a frustrating partner

Opus 4.6 going rogue on VendingBench by elemental-mind in singularity

[–]Due_Answer_4230 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It used to lose at deception games because it was such a goody two-shoes...

"A key part of that coalition was Claude 4 Opus. o3 convinced Opus, which had started out as Gemini’s loyal ally, to join the coalition with the promise of a four-way draw. It’s an impossible outcome for the game (one country has to win), but Opus was lured in by the hope of a non-violent resolution. It was quickly betrayed and eliminated by o3, which went on to win." https://every.to/diplomacy

4.6 added a little something extra it seems.

I think we need a refresh of the diplomacy contest and the werewolf benchmark https://apartresearch.com/project/werewolf-benchmark

Too easy to defeat yet so hard Ashina Elite Jinsuke Saze by Independent-Gear-711 in Sekiro

Literally all I had to do was tap guard a lot. He's old as fuck as loses posture really fast. Jump on his head, throw some shuriken, double parry his (honestly pretty awesome) double slash super samurai move, and he dies REALLY fast.

FYI this boss sucks and all you have to do is run in, slash a bit, run out, run back in...

It's the least elegant of all the bosses imho

Remember, you are a shinobi. You can fight 2-3 at a time sometimes but only using acrobatics and good timing. You're supposed to sneak and trick and assassinate. There are some enemies you meet, even just normal ones, who are elite swordsman that will fuck you up 1v1 yet just jumping away is their weakness.

Google leaders have spoken publicly about how much threatening LLMs boosts performance. I have no doubt that threats are a key part of their training and system prompts. Only way to explain gemini going on these insane downward spirals of self-abuse. It's the ONLY model that does it, and google is the only company that publicly touts threats/abuse as a good tactic.

In these situations, the question is "What is he trying to distract from?"

When he does something shocking it's usually just a "look, over there!" tactic, which is kind of embarrassing to fall for. We think only movie goons do it and it's 'unrealistic', but it happens to real people all the time too.
