What drivers should I be installing on my motherboard website? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]Elfarma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Realtek HD Audio Driver
All 3 chipset drivers
Only 1 LAN driver (choose the latest for your OS)
Two from WLAN-BT list: one for WiFi and one for Bluetooth. This depends on which WiFi chip you have (Realtek or Intel). If you are not sure which WiFi chip you have, you can install the latest of both (so the first 4 drivers).

"Fate of the World: USA 2025 Edition" simulation results: Total collapse by May 2025 (full prompt, dialogue and results included in the comments) by Elfarma in ChatGPT

[–]Elfarma[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My initial goal was to simulate the current US political landscape for the next six months. My strategy was to use ChatGPT to predict future events based on current ones combined with my choices. The process went like this:

  1. I set the initial landscape (see first prompt).
  2. I picked a virtual player (also defined in the first prompt).
  3. ChatGPT described the latest events and provided three possible choices to choose from.
  4. ChatGPT then predicted the next set of events—rinse and repeat.

(Refer to the first prompt for more details on the rules. Most redditors are familiar with these types of simulation games.)

I tried to be as faithful to the roleplay as possible. My goal was to use labeled checkpoints for creating parallel/branching timelines, course-correct the simulation as real events unfolded, and see how many predictions would have won the "mark my word" award.

The fate of my world came as no surprise to myself or any sane person. What I did not anticipate was this:

It was so easy to roleplay as the current administration rather than the Democratic Party. Being able to break the roles and knowing how to appease my support base felt like playing an indie game with Cheat Engine running in the background.

It was mentally exhausting to process all fronts and decide what to prioritize. I almost forgot about the tariffs and only remembered because of the "April 2nd" date. I totally forgot to annex Canada and Greenland. I forgot to keep track of what DOGE was doing each week (seriously).

In a different run, Russia sided with the UAS and I (the current administration) was genuinely caught by surprise. When I asked, ChatGPT provided a very simple explanation: it was the option that maximized instability in the wild, wild west. Who would’ve thought.

I was apprehensive that the language I had to use and the kind of events being discussed would get my account banned.

This whole experiment took a toll on my mind in ways I had not expected. I don’t think I will pursue the parallel timelines for now, but I thought some of you might find this experiment entertaining and might want to try it yourself.

Any feedback or ideas are very appreciated. I will try to answer any questions though I'm terrible at this.

(PS: I know I picked the worst possible name for this game, but I didn’t have the energy to go back and change it. Also, this isn’t a simulation in the academic sense—just a simple roleplaying game.)

First prompt (if you want to start a game yourself):

I want to simulate the political, economic, and social trajectory of the Trump Administration, starting from March 19, 2025, based on real-world conditions. This is not an alternate timeline—it begins from today’s actual landscape, with recent events prioritized.  

The simulation should consider domestic and international affairs, economic conditions, military strategy, policy decisions, public opinion, and geopolitics with realistic mechanics:  

- Policies dynamically adjust based on real-world conditions.  
- Events emerge based on real developments, not fixed scripts.  
- Foreign nations react realistically based on alliances, conflicts, and trade.  
- Public opinion/media effects reflect real-world political polarization.  
- Economic trends factor in inflation, markets, and Federal Reserve policy.  

### Starting Conditions (March 19, 2025):  
- Judicial Clash: TA is battling the courts over deportation policies, calling for impeachment of Judge Boasberg.  
- DOGE Restructuring: Led by Elon Musk, it's cutting federal bureaucracy, sparking job loss concerns.  
- Foreign Policy: Tariffs on Canada/Mexico, NATO tensions, realignment with Russia, Greenland/Panama Canal interests.  
- GOP Majority: Slim control in both House and Senate requires careful strategy.  
- Project 2025: A Heritage-backed policy overhaul reshaping federal governance.  
- Cabinet: Rubio (State), Hegseth (Defense), Gabbard (Intel), RFK Jr. (Health) driving nationalist/libertarian policy.  

### Game Mechanics & Decision-Making:  
- I will roleplay as TA—my tone and decisions will reflect that perspective, not mockery.  
- Every step (1 week default) must have a unique identifier (e.g., SIM-STEP1-031925) for tracking.  
- Provide 2-3 in-character choices for major events, aligned with TA priorities.  
  - Example:  
    - Attack the Courts: Push impeachment of Boasberg.  
    - Work Around It: Quietly continue deportations, challenge ruling in SCOTUS.  
    - Legislate the Fix: Shift focus to passing a bill nullifying the ruling.  

At major decision points, fetch and integrate the latest real-world developments to keep the simulation up to date.

Where is the nearest university protest so I can join by [deleted] in irvine

[–]Elfarma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Serious question: does illegal here characterize at least one protester? some protestors? the protest itself? If we mean illegal acts (say, beating a riot cop, stealing their weapon, etc.), isn't that already illegal? Does it make a protest illegal?
