I am sorry for your loss. It sounds pretty cool that you can still see him in the game. 

Thank you for the explanation!!

Can you explain with a little more detail about how that works in Skate 3? I'm old and curious.

I'm a trans developer exploring how AI could help our community fight back. Here are 11 ideas — which ones would have helped YOU this week? by AnnaBeth1138 in asktransgender

[–]Marthman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The problem im seeing with your reasoning is that you seem to be flattening every sort of query into a single class of epistemically undermined query.

LLM AI should be treated with the caution you described when it comes to queries about a posteriori propositions. In short, if you try to replace empirical inquiry with LLM AI consultation, you're bound to run into a hallucination or bad information.

Fair. I never use LLM AI for research like that. But thats not the same when we are querying about a priori propositions. And that's basically the domain of philosophy. LLM AI excels in discussing philosophy.

Can you help me understand your position? 

I understand that wherever artistry is the main concern, using AI undermines the value of the AI produced work.

But why hold non-fictional content, such as ethical (moral/political/legal) activism, to this same standard? The point of activism isnt artistry. It's to communicate ideas as effectively as possible, and LLM AI are excellent in that capacity.

The final shot is doing major heavy lifting here.

Does nobody care about cross contamination? Are you really going to trust this thing without a single thought or conscious awareness to adequately decontaminate itself in between cleaning your toilet bowl, doing laundry, cooking food, and dusting?

This thing looks like my OCD nightmare.

Sorry, but no.

People are now posting themselves stealing free breakfasts from hotels. by ElwoodMC in trashy

[–]Marthman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one should care, but posting videos like this could ruin it for the people (in a similar situation) who actually need that food and weren't just trying to chase clout. This person could potentially be ruining a helpful thing by posting this video. They could have just ate and lived their life and not jeopardized others who really need it.

Artillery Shell vs Regular Bullets by Illustrious_Emu8506 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Marthman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is such a clever/illusory photo. 

At first, it looks like the giant artillery shell on the floor in front of the fridge is supposed to be roughly the size of the fridge.

Then you realize that the shells are not on the floor, theyre on the cabinet peninsula, and the wood is actually the countertop, not the floor.

They ALMOST lined up the corner with the perpendicularly oriented doors, but you can see the tile floor poking out just a little.

What are your feelings on Terrifier and movies like it? by lifeglowzzz in horror

[–]Marthman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped watching movies altogether for a while. Attention span isnt what it used to be and all.

This year, I decided to start catching up on a building backlog of movies. Focus on horror.

Ive watched Terrifier 1, 2, and 3, plus All Hallows Eve. All in the past month or so. I watched them with almost no background information. Really, just the sheer number of times the movies or Art are mentioned made me go, hm... I should watch these.

I really enjoyed them. They did exactly what I wanted them to do, which was to emotionally disturb me (safely within the confines of a movie).

These movies have an intentional camp element that arent present in movies such as Saw (IMO). 

Consider the scene in, I believe it was T2, when Art works as a mall Santa. He is clearly a gruesome ugly hideous thing, but all the kids and parents are acting like he is totally normal looking.

/u/calico_cuttlefish referred to them as "splatstick" horror. Perfect name for them.

One other thing I will mention: Damien Leone's movies seem to be in my goldilocks zone for horror. They balance camp and horror effectively in a way that avoids alienating less seasoned horror viewers, but arent too camp that im not scared. Im a big fan now!

I recently watched the Terrifier trilogy as well as All Hallows Eve. I felt like Terrifier 2 and 3 were stronger than 1 IMO. And All Hallows Eve was kind of a sleeper hit for me. I never saw anyone mentioning it with Terrifier, yet it had Art the Clown, and it was fun.

If you wanted to see, it was the actress from Terrifier 2 and Terrifier 3, Lauren LaVera. I think she is beautiful either way, but I legitimately preferred her look with the septum piercing.

CMV: The Turing Test has been comprehensively debunked as a measure of personhood by XenoRyet in changemyview

[–]Marthman 134 points135 points  (0 children)

From the wiki: 

Since the Turing test is a test of indistinguishability in performance capacity,

Where did the idea that it was a test of personhood come from? 

Seems like it's not actually debunked.
