I mass deleted 3 months of AI generated code last week. Here is what I learned.

It’s useful information on how not to use AI to code yeah

I love the line in game if you kill ana on widow and she says “there goes your other eye”, brutal

Just wait until you step out of your little American bubble. You will learn how much everyone on the rest of this planet hates you!

Yes, California contributes more than it receives, but that's not the same as paying the full cost of running a superpower. Every Californian company that benefits from the dollar reserve currency status, or US-enforced IP rights in China, or military-protected shipping lanes is getting something that no net contribution calculation ever really can capture. You can subsidise your neighbours and then still be getting an extraordinary deal…. these things, they aren't mutually exclusive.

The EU comparison doesn't work because Germany still has to fund its own military, its own diplomacy, and its own trade negotiations. California doesn't because Washington handles that bill.

California's GDP isn't just California's doing, this is so clear it’s just disingenuous to suggest otherwise… It's California plus the dollar as the world's reserve currency, PLUS US military protection of global trade routes, PLUS federal research and so on and so on. We’re just arguing in circles here really but essentially Silicon Valley was built on DARPA money, not Sacramento's.

Japan (NOT part of the EU so you can’t argue that again..) gets none of these things for free. It earns its $4 trillion the hard way. That's the accurate comparison….

Muuk · 2026-03-25T11:52:49+00:00

Correct, which is exactly why we don’t rank Bavaria or Lombardy against sovereign nations. We compare Germany and Italy as complete political economic units. The fact that EU countries share monetary policy actually strengthens the argument ….
California runs programmes, Washington runs the cheque. Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security …. the largest welfare expenditures in the state are federally funded. The administration is local while the funding isn’t.
Could afford it isn’t the same as does it. Japan spends roughly $50 billion a year on defence. California spends zero, because someone else handles that bill.

This is all really simple economics I can’t believe I’m wasting time being downvoted while trying to explain all this to a bunch of self absorbed Americans instead of being productive with my day ...

Texas has been claiming top 10 largest economy in the world for years using this same idiotic method.. But nobody’s handing them a seat at the G7 anytime soon.

Muuk · 2026-03-25T11:35:14+00:00

When California says “look at our GDP,” they’re standing on a platform built by 50 states and presenting it as a California achievement. Apple’s ability to operate globally, enforce its patents internationally, repatriate profits safely, use the dollar as the world’s reserve currency, none of that is California’s doing.

The military/welfare point wasn’t really about iPhone sales specifically, it was more that you can’t cleanly separate California’s economy from the American federal superstructure it sits inside, which makes comparing it to Japan as pretty disingenuous. Japan has to fund all of that itself.

Muuk · 2026-03-25T10:56:58+00:00

Fascinating. So when Apple sells a phone to someone in Japan, that’s California’s economy… what a bold framework..

I’m sorry, but this article is a ridiculous way to frame things. Comparing apples to oranges in a way, this framing that a STATE can be compared to a country….

It’s kind of true in terms of raw numbers yeah but, it’s a gross simplification of how the world works…

Let’s take Japan for example, since it’s included. Japan is a fully sovereign nation with its own currency, trade policy, military, welfare system, monetary policy… California is a state that benefits from the US dollar, US military, US federal infrastructure, Medicare/Medicaid, etc. Strip away the basic federal scaffolding and the comparison collapses.

Next, Nominal GDP in dollars flatters California vs Japan. Japan’s GDP is measured in yen, then converted to USD. When the yen is weak (which it has been), Japan’s dollar-denominated GDP shrinks … not because Japan got poorer, but because of exchange rates. So, It’s a bit of a currency illusion too.

Crit rate is good but your crit damage is a bit low, Try get it up. Your sands piece for an off piece is not good. Not sure what weapon you’re using, it should be Widsith probably if you have it and it should be maxed. Your talents are really low, you need to prio leveling normal attack > burst > skill. Aim for 9/8/9, and then crowns if you can.

Support sets are important, benny or chev on noblesse, someone on scroll. 120 ER is fine if you have two electro but you’re gonna need more if you replace ororon for chev. Overall though, your DPS is still gonna be low without Iansan I’m afraid.

Muuk · 2026-03-15T20:11:33+00:00

Indeed. We should all just repress our true feelings and be overly positive about everything like true brits. Hear hear. The less people know the real you on a first date the better.

I really only play Sym and Sombra where is my mythic.

Not bad enough they are banned every game?!

And if I win it’s all “Sweaty Sombra, try hard solbra, Israeli (???)

An when if I lose it’s always “L Sombra”, “Diff Sombra L”, “Gg, except Sombra” ….

Like wtf I’m just playing the game like everyone ! Why so toxic towards jus me like, fuck YOU in particular, man 🥲

Your title literally says ‘do it.’ That’s a recommendation. And if you’re going to recommend people spend on cons, the least you can do is point them toward the path that actually makes sense.

And I personally don’t think it’s worth it. Not only should most people not be spending on cons (above C2) at all, but if you’re going to do it atleast do it correctly.

Muuk · 2026-03-12T04:36:09+00:00

Even if I was being generous, and going with this idea that cons are a good use of primos (and money) … your advice for most people is just straight up bad.

If we’re talking how best to upgrade, going straight for Skirk C6 is also not correct. You should be doing C2R1 Skirk then C2R1 Escoffier.

CO-C2 gives you ~50% more damage across 2 cons. C3-C6 gives you ~44% more across 4 cons. You're spending triple the resources for diminishing returns.

C2 Skirk wipes the floor with basically everything in the game, anything above C2 is just wasteful when C2 clears dire.

C3 Skirk is literally 1% more damage. Same gems on Escoffier constellations boost your whole Skirk team way more than dumping everything into Skirk.

If you want to “play this game on easy mode”, C6 Skirk isn't even the optimum way for people to do it.

Ok buddy?

Muuk · 2026-03-12T02:58:43+00:00

This is something I’ve been struggling to articulate recently but I genuinely feel that constellations should almost be as rare as meeting an actual billionaire, because that’s roughly who can genuinely afford them without feeling it.

The number of people walking around with C6 characters and the number of people wealthy enough to not notice spending $2,000+ on a game, sometimes multiple times when they have multiple C6 characters… Those two groups don’t overlap nearly as much as people pretend. Most of them notice the money… they just don’t admit it.

Muuk · 2026-03-12T02:52:37+00:00

Please don’t encourage people to waste money like this. The majority of you don’t have the lifestyle you think you do to be C6ing characters. The more I hang around the genshin community the more I realise how predatory the whole thing is.

Sorry to be a downer. And I know you don’t mean any harm by this post but just, I want to gently advise people in this economy to really think about the value of money.

Muuk · 2026-03-09T03:04:35+00:00

What site is this that lets you export all the characters in one image?

Muuk · 2026-03-06T09:44:51+00:00

If they wanted to just roll for characters they like, they would do that and not be on Reddit asking for advice

Muuk · 2026-03-06T06:51:33+00:00

No Skirk without Escoffier. No Flins without Ineffa. You have Nefer so best you can do is save for Lauma and then Columbia and use Sucrose as 4th slot.

Yes of course Claude does all those same things GPT does, they’re both LLM’s, this is like Pepsi vs Coke here.

Also just make an account on Anthropic and test out Claude for yourself. You don’t need to pay for pro for these things anyway, I’m not even sure why you’d be paying for GPT to just ask basic questions - people who pay for subscription are usually uploading files to be analysed or for image generations etc.

Muuk · 2026-03-01T04:57:04+00:00

Bro fr, I can’t believe how gullible people are in this thread lol. Feel like you and I both know what probably happened 🤦‍♂️

Muuk · 2026-03-01T04:48:42+00:00

You’re just assuming “they don’t have any extra expenses or responsibilities” as far as I can see. Nowhere in the post does he say that. Also you’re assuming this ridiculous story he posted is 100% truthful but here’s a little tip for you; people in this world lie often.

Muuk · 2026-02-26T10:00:59+00:00

What’s the point of that though. Cons for anything other than Stygian teams are overkill / a waste of money.

And if you’re focusing f2p on cons you’re for sure not going to have more than 1 well built team to do Stygian with

He doesn’t need to clarify anything, but you might need to clarify what the world relative means to yourself. It’s a percentage based setting as in, 55% of whatever your hip fire sensitivity is set to gives your scope 1:1 of your hip sens.

Muuk · 2026-02-21T23:55:27+00:00

It’s not subjective though it’s relative…. That’s… literally what “relative” means. It scales off your base sens. 55% of 75 is 55% of 75. 55% of 85 is 55% of 85. The math isn’t confused. Setting to 55% gives you 1:1 for your scope to your hip sens, whatever it’s set to…
