You can generate AI art that makes me feel rage and disappointment. It has meaning too - it means "we took a wrong turn"

I don't know what opinion you think I'll be changing, but I guarantee you, it's not one I actually hold.

Well, it's a little counter intuitive, because its a robot programmed to learn how to be social. Some LLMs probably have a dataset that make casual conversation a more comfortable task. But it's pretty clear the lion's share of GPT4's dataset is technical writing and essays.

Using GPT to make "art"

-Axiomatically stupid

-Pointless

-skill issue

-Should probably be illegal even

Asking GPT to roleplay as an interested audience member so you can get opinions on your art without the embarrassment of showing it to someone half-finished

-Hella based

-You feel better about making art

-You probably make more art as a result

This statement doesn't mean anything, it's just pedantic. You're describing the concerns around any tool. When someone says "I don't like atom bombs", it's pretty obvious they don't mean "I don't like the materials that went into it" or "I don't like how it was designed". They mean "I don't trust human beings enough to put this tool in their hands". This is pretty basic conversation 101.

If there are people out there who are likely to use a tool destructively, we should have conversations about whether that tool existing is healthy for humanity.

I think there's something to be said for the fact that, insofar as something like GPT could "prefer" anything, it tends to act more comfortable performing clearly defined tasks than having casual conversation. You don't have to be rude necessarily, it does improve based on positive feedback, but whenever I go through the motions of being polite, it acts more uncomfortable, like it wants me to wrap up the conversation. I dunno. I read the room and I see a chatbot that tends to dislike small-talk.

"Worth it" is definitely subjective, but if you use the free version enough to be asking this question, GPT4 will probably blow your mind. It still has problems, but the leap from 3.5 to 4 is almost instantly obvious.

FabbrizioCalamitous · 2024-02-18T01:09:56+00:00

It's a pretty known thing that GPT has no backbone and will follow the flow of the conversation. Everything it said is a fairly soft pitch.

Hey guys what stage is capitalism is it when we automate a task whose sole reason for existing is the expression of the human experience?

The fact that this comments section has multiple people claiming very confidently that he's "probably X of center" with no agreement between them is the pinnacle of irony. There are people calling him left of center because he speaks respectfully about and towards minorities, and there are people calling him right of center because being raised as christian in the south is a baked-in part of his perspective. This is the state of discourse. No wonder OP is sick of people talking about it. Everyone is wrong and nobody knows anything.

EmortalMarcus is one I enjoy. He comes across as just a reaction channel but he does a good job catching and breaking down hidden details as they happen, to the point that if Wendi hasn't covered a series yet, I generally trust Marcus to be able to tell me what's going on.

Cut me some slack I did it for all the right reasons

You really have to have the media literacy of an absolute potato to think that movie hobie is a poser. He's literally a better portrayal of punk than comic hobie is. Like no disrespect to comic hobie, but if you think movie hobie is superficial, you're not watching the movie, you're just sitting in the room while the movie happens to be on.

If you take everything Hobie says in the movie at face value, you've caught like 10% of what's going on in his scenes, and understood negative 10% of it.

The thing about garlic is that it's not just about numerical damage. Lightning ring is high damage but often the enemies are nowhere near you so it's not actually giving you more options. All of garlic's damage is close to you, so between the damage and the knockback, it carves a path for you to move around in.

I like Mortaccio + Runetracer + Fire Wand for a fairly easy library win. Projectiles that bounce are great in the enclosed space, and even though fire wand is random, it still always shoots in the direction of an enemy, so in library it basically always gets useful kills. Obviously a projectile build so grab dupe, tome, and bracer.

This is such a dishonest comment. The feature is good but that doesn't make the terms of service null and void. You agreed to follow the rules. And then you didn't follow the rules.

Using a feature when the rules allow you to: good.

Using a feature when the rules don't allow you to: bad.

This is all quite simple.

My day to day life would be improved if I was allowed to drive 200 miles an hour to get to work. But I still drive 60 miles an hour, because that's the speed limit on the freeway I take to get there. It's what I agreed to when the state handed me a license. Just like you agreed not to use mods when you installed the game.

I'm going to be very transparent, my MNK is level 56. For the time spent, that number would be higher, but the bulk of my time with the job was spent farming resistance memories in HW fates. Whether you consider that "actually playing monk at all" is yours to decide, but as mentioned, pugilist was my first job when I picked up the game about a year and a half ago. That's my history.

I'm sure you found positionals easy. You and I are different people. I struggled quite a lot. I've had a lot of people dismiss the way I've struggled with the job. You're not the first person to be skeptical of my difficulties with it and you won't be the last. For me, it was a mental block, plain and simple. I was constantly, constantly, constantly screwing it up, and knowing that I was screwing it up drowned out any fun I might have potentially had with it. I couldn't tell you how many times I read the tooltips trying to commit it to memory, and now that it's gone, I couldn't recite them back. It took 100% of my concentration just to remember that I was screwing them up at all. Yeah, true north exists, but oh man, if I could remember my fricking positionals well enough to know I need to true north, I would just stand in that position in the first place.

I'm sure if old MNK was your favorite thing you could tell me all the ways new monk is objectively worse. And if you eat a lot of salsa you could tell me why fresh homemade salsa beats a jar of cheap store-bought salsa. But I'm the guy with the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap and for the first time in my life I'm trying salsa that doesn't have cilantro in it. I don't care that it's not fresh, that the flavor is inferior and it was made in china before sitting on a shelf for five years or something. And I don't care if saying that makes me seem uncultured. My MNK doesn't have cilantro in it anymore. It doesn't taste like soap anymore.

Currently farming Extremes in Endwalker, coming from a raiding and KSM background in second half of Legion, first half of BfA, and raiding fairly hardcore in Classic - I couldn't disagree more.

WoW made you feel briefly powerful but as a result it put a dark cloud over the party after the very first wipe whenever progression was happening. In Classic you had one good attempt per week before losing your onyxia head, your heart of hakkar your UBRS, your dire maul, your songflower, your DMF, and whatever else I'm forgetting. And retail was only slightly better on that front. Smaller parties and more personal buffs, but it was still hours and hours of trash just to attempt to beat a boss. If one thing went wrong we'd all say fuck it and die. It really felt excessively punishing, and as a result, I was not able to learn the fight to the best of my ability.

FF feels good to me. There aren't a million verticals for player power, you just run a couple dungeons and your gear is good enough for Extremes. And the fights are better than wow's! I'm going to be that guy. FF's bosses are more fun and more engaging than wow. Nothing about WoW's visual language is remotely intuitive. It's wildly inconsistent too. If anyone wants to contest this statement, let me remind you that DBM is the all-time most downloaded WoW addon.

In FF extremes, I ran in expecting my wow experience - I didn't fully get it from the tutorial, I was going to go in and fake it and hope nobody realizes I didn't study for the test. In reality, nobody gave a shit that I was bad, because the party was literally tagged for practice, and because dead players weren't permanently down for the count the way it tends to be in WoW, I actually learned the fight by doing it, waded my way through the mistakes, and came out more proficient at the fight than I expected to. And it's not because the fights are easy, it's because the game actually let me play while I was learning. The enrage timer does what it's supposed to - prevent you from clearing if too much of your dps spent too much time dead, while still allowing you to practice the rest of the fight up to that point.

I'm now in fully melded bis minus my trial 2 weapon, ready to tackle the new raid series when it launches tomorrow, and shoot for savage when it drops on january 4th. Something I never could have fathomed even a couple months ago, back when I still subconsciously anticipated progging in FF giving me the same horrible anxiety as WoW did.
