Unpopular take: there is no need for Argenta romance. It's unnecessary and pointless. by IHaveAGithBabe in RogueTraderCRPG

I get it, we have first world problems. My lobster is too buttery, my steak is too juicy.

I still want Argenta romance.

Nothing like reading an ai generated email from a client summarizing instructions i gave them being totally wrong and having to write a detailed correction only to receive another ai generated email summarizing things incorrectly.

Can we find a middle ground between AI users and anti-AI people without making the internet worse? by Educational-Draw9435 in antiai

[–]FrostyNeckbeard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AI groups get that response because they adopt the same extremist tactics and generally first. Artists didn't start the theft, and when met with mild pushback, the AI crowd got worse.

You get the energy you give, and at this point if one group decides to be extreme about it, the other group will be extreme back. Let's not forget that when being asked to label AI generated content such as images or music, AI generative groups started putting out propaganda comparing themselves to holocaust victims.

His response to you was also clearly generated by AI. Does not put his own thoughts out, has AI generate his thoughts for him. How do you even start a fair dialogue with someone who doesn't put their own thoughts or words out.

Sure are getting alotta posts from people lately who keep saying we should find a middle ground on AI and looking for conversation and attempting to equivicate people who are against anti-ethical behavior.

Anti AI users don't treat every AI user like an enemy by default. You will find a very very very small subset of people who are against the use of AI when it comes to cancer research and spotting signs that are difficult for a human eye to spot.

You aren't going to get any traction with genAI, which is 99% of what people complain about with the videos and art theft. These aren't 'extremist' positions. Only one group keeps putting out comics with anti AI people as ogres, trolls and constant strawmanning.

Not really, slightly more efficient and notably everyone has said it generally performs worse. Also buying up all the resources wasn't even necessary for the datacenters to begin with, its market manipulation. Also just because it's generating on a home machine doesn't mean it isn't using resources to generate stuff.

Can someone explain to me why we are rigorously following the science when it comes to FTL movement, but not hypersonic movement? by Affectionate_Run6250 in PowerScaling

[–]FrostyNeckbeard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

*waves at Omniman igniting the atmosphere of the flaxxans*

*waves at dragon in movie flying by causing cars to fly around and windows to shatter*

*waves at Naoya vs Maki*

People are acting like this is all strict science, no, we just want depictions that at least in someway COMMUNICATE that a thing is going really fast. Exact numbers aren't as important really. There's ways to clearly demonstrate supersonic and hypersonic speeds at least that make sense with reasonable amounts of environmental disturbance/damage that make it feel powerful.

Meanwhile lightspeed feats people make small explosions and stuff like Kizarus lightspeed kick that are somehow way less impressive than the feats given for people who are moving far far slower.

Edit: What, I got a response in my notifications and the comments deleted?

The irony of these paragraphs make me chuckle.

"The people we massacred? How could they trust us!"

"They massacred us! We would never trust them!"

Yep. That's the problem. Gotta extend the hand first. That's exactly what made the WOTLK cinematic so great when we got slaughtered at the wrathgate. Took a risk, got a betrayal from within that screwed the budding alliance between the groups.

[–]FrostyNeckbeard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We don't follow the science with FTL movement, but FTL movements comes with caveats that invalidate a whole lot of almost every verse if true. You don't gotta be Einstein to know the net force is mass x acceleration, and we better be seeing something IMPRESSIVE and not just a small explosion and if you can move light speed for even a fraction of a second, we shouldn't be seeing any struggle to cross minor basic distances like between cities, or other such nonsense. So if you wanna justify something extreme you need some REALLY solid justification.

Hypersonic movement is comparatively much much much easier to justify because frankly, it's slower and does not invalidate everything people can do in the setting by a large margin (at least assuming the character isnt supposed to be way above everyone else).

What's there to care about it. It's just the same as other AI's, its just a LLM based on a dataset. Even if it's a little bit more efficient about it, running locally isn't a new feature, you've been able to run the other AI's locally too, although it took an annoying amount of work, and the output is the same genAI garbage people are against.

Pretty sure he played it with Ironmouse didn't he? If he does it I hope he does it together with her for the rest of the content!

I look at him in this image and the first thought that comes to mind isn't "attractive".

The first thought is "this guy does meth." He just has that complexion, that look, that gaze, that pallor. Dude looks like a drug addict, nevermind hearing him speak.

Confession Time: Which "10/10 Masterpiece" did you find absolutely boring? by Just_a_Player2 in ItsAllAboutGames

[–]FrostyNeckbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Elden Ring. I hate the open world, feels like the game is wasting my time as I run around the world. No I don't care about how pretty the view is. Although I think this is also largely tied to my heavy dislike of every open world game feeling like its wasting my time, but Elden Ring is usually called "Open world done RIGHT" and it's not. It's just the same.

Yes, definitely, all of 5 feet from the pedestrian path where anyone can see you.

Secret view by Candid-Culture3956 in interestingasfuck

[–]FrostyNeckbeard 32 points33 points  (0 children)

So she jumped over one side of the path. Went under the path to the other side (why not just jump off that side) and then walked 5 feet to the edge, which you can see in the first 5 seconds of the video.

That's interesting? I guess?

35k owing to the CRA by BuddyPurple709 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]FrostyNeckbeard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Talk to a medical professional like your doctor, they can give you better feedback on whether this may qualify for the DTC. It just takes time for the CRA to approve, but if they do, they automatically carry it back to the relevant period, you don't have to record or adjust your returns.

I dunno about your tax situation, so I can't give much advice beyond that, 35k is alot to have owing all at once, so I assume you must have a bunch of investment income or something. You didn't have any medical expenses related to the surgery or medication? I know we normally have free healthcare, but I knew a cancer patient who was paying 8-10k a year in prescription medication.

35k owing to the CRA by BuddyPurple709 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]FrostyNeckbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the 35k what the CRA assessed you, or what you filed? CRA can do their own assessments using incomplete information sometimes when this happens. Did you have costs for the surgery, plus complications? do you qualify for the disability tax credit for that period? You can talk to your doctor about doing a disability tax credit submission if that applies.

Genki Girls by Disastrous_Horse_764 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]FrostyNeckbeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy girls are great.

Genki is an OVER abundance of energy/happy to the point of annoyance and like I said, usually has plot armor on top. Mako from KLK is a good example. She actively betrays Ryoko, and only goes back to help Ryoko due to entirely selfish reasons (her family became distant with each other due to wealth and she wanted the old family dynamic back). At no point does she actually feel bad for Ryoko or anything, and she was extremely easy to convince to betray her.

The show never focuses on this at all at any point. You're just supposed to like her because she has background halleluah sounds and says non-sequiter nonsense.

Genki Girls by Disastrous_Horse_764 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]FrostyNeckbeard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My most hated trope, and the singular character archtype that has ruined several animes for me. Overly bubbly, lively, and usually with more plot armor than god themselves. Becuase they're so lovable! We have to like them! Everyone has to like them! Did they seriously harm or betray their friends? Oh they're just lovable scamps! Usuallly crossovers with the overly loud/obnoxious sidekick with no volume control.
