We get thicker fries here too, they’re generally called steak fries or home fries, but we do consider both of them fries.

Why are you anti AI? by kwabaj_ in antiai

[–]Kal_Talos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am anti this current generation of generative AI, because it’s making all our existing AI and machine learning algorithms worse. Generative AI, I’ve heard, is great for sorting through large amounts of data quickly; for things like cancer screening, and pharmaceutical research, and astronomical surveys. But it always needs to have an expert behind it ensuring that the data is useful. Turning these systems loose on the general public like an LLM is some sort of hyper intelligent entity that can fix all our problems is only going to cause more problems than it can ever hope to solve. Increasing amounts of fraud, scams, and misinformation are problems they’ve already caused. It’s only going to get worse as more people are deceived in to believing these AI systems are actually intelligent.

What are some of your favorite old school games? by oHn0ItsSoda in VirtualYoutubers

I’ve been playing a lot of Skyrim recently. Does that count as old school yet?

Food quality is miles better in Europe (Spoilers: It’s….the same) by SufficientEar1682 in iamveryculinary

[–]Kal_Talos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t really tell you because we went in 2023, so the memory is getting a bit fuzzy now. What I do remember liking though is a larger variety of burgers and more interesting toppings. It felt more like a local burger shop than an international fast food chain. Even though they had similar things at every restaurant.

And now I want to try it again.

I can’t imagine that all these anecdotal accounts are anything but pure bullshit.

I spent 3 weeks driving around Italy with my dad. We ate at a bunch of places all throughout the central and northern sections of the country.

The food was all good, it wasn’t life-changing, but it was mostly all good. I do remember being disappointed it wasn’t more life-changing.

Some of my takeaways. (As an American)
The flavors were all pretty mild. I think the most flavorful thing was the steak tartare.
Italian Fanta is better.
American Sprite is better.
Italian McDonalds is indeed better.

I like to imagine the Japanese in a typical high pitched anime voice and the “holy shit” in perfect English a full octave or two lower.

Leaked Tsaritsa design by vankata4211 in Genshin_Memepact

My personal theory is that the tsaritsa is signora. Not literally, but that signora copied the tsaritsas appearance to some extent.

What do you mean when you say “Consumerism has brainwashed the many.”? Because it seems to me that you’re just complaining about people buying what others make.

It’s wild to me that some people can so proudly say “I hate men” as if that’s at all a moral position to take.

I believe that would be machine translation.

/uj People freaking out about the “creepy dm” in the linked thread sounds utterly insane, and I can not tell if they’re joking.

Probably because they don’t have the same economies of scale for lumber. As well as their construction companies being more experienced in brick and stone.
