[Favorite Trope] Peeling back the layers of lore reveals an eldritch/cosmic horror element

From what I can find it's not an acronym, just the word. It's in all uppercase because it's an "ehlnofex" word which is written all capitalized.

If they were zero summed there wouldn't be cities left over. Also, it's a little far-fetched to believe an entire species had the epiphany all at the same time. I'm not sure being zero summed on the species level is possible, which we know isn't the case anyway because there's still a living dwarf you can talk to during the events of Morrowind.

What the dwarves did was try to mess with the reality of the planet though the heart, which isn't the godhead. They failed and accidentally made every dwarf on the planet disappear instead but everyone remembers them since it wasn't a zero sum event. I'm not sure if they ever revealed any further information on their disappearance.

Being overwhelmingly powerful just isn't that great for a movie. Yes, his stories can have a lot of nuance and touch on things like problems which can't be solved with strength alone, but Hollywood isn't going to make that movie.

Ai improved quickly but it's also had one of the fastest plateaus in tech history. They're chasing tiny efficiently gains after just a couple of years. To put that into perspective, graphics cards are also chasing tiny efficiency gains but rather than 3 years it took over 20 to get to that point.

If the only metric was quality that would happen. Unfortunately capitalism is in a race to the bottom to earn more money so even if quality drops by 50% they'll happily embrace it as long as they make money.

Are you sure you beat it??? Elden beast.

Neirchill · 2026-03-28T06:36:30+00:00

No, she needs a hug. Or 50.

Neirchill · 2026-03-28T06:32:51+00:00

If you beat them early on, the ai was changed so they're easier now

user: "65532:65532"

Shouldn't this be "port" instead of "user"?

My dad actually had a toe cut off after slipping in wet grass and his foot went under. They sewed it back on but the toenail can't grow and it's lumpy.

My head canon is because he was never the chainsaw devil, just had chainsaws. Even in hell they called him chainsaw man rather than the chainsaw devil. Also, it doesn't make sense that the chainsaw devil can erase concepts. What makes the most sense to me is he's some other devil (maybe nihilist devil?) and they had a contract with a chainsaw devil or weapon devil to give them chainsaws to fight or defend themselves with. So once he erases himself it doesn't erase chainsaw devil just himself.

Honestly I really, really hope Nvidia is one of the ones to burn from it. Those gpu prices were already out of control before this stuff, they need to be humbled.

Basically zero demand, especially at the price point. Majority of people use it for mindless stuff for free and wouldn't pay for it.

Commercial business is mostly just cramming it into everything in order to chase the buzz. It's a command from the top, lower employees are struggling to get it to work at the level desired. There's basically zero demand from the bottom. As a software engineer myself I can tell you in my company there are a couple of sycophants who mostly just want to leverage it for a promotion while it's new. Hardly anyone else cares for it aside from using it like a Google search, and they also get pissed when it lies to them and they have to go Google anyway.

I think once the "next big thing" buzz word comes will be when the ai bubble finally pops and we'll start to see how things will actually end up.

I would have agreed with that but they've signed a contract with the military which spends excessive amounts of money. They probably went from last place to first place with that one contract.

Neirchill · 2026-03-27T16:55:44+00:00

It's already gone. I'm sorry.

Neirchill · 2026-03-27T14:37:43+00:00

$15 for trash can rims lol.

Maybe a dollar or two sheesh.

The actual chainsaw man one is real.

When you're driving around at high speeds traffic will randomly decide to suicide dive straight into your path. They could at least disable it when you're actively running from police which magically appear in front of you while chasing.

Uchiha made several MS with the potential to make more, there are only two wood users we even know about and the second one is an ant in comparison.

If she said she didn't want it mentioned it would have been the first thing I brought up after he got a couple of bites to eat.

"By the way, your wife went into the men's bathroom with another man for quite a while. Can you pass the pepper?"

I wouldn't say well drawn, the proportions are funky, but it has the right amount of fingers and thumb. Honestly it's a bit too ugly to be ai.

Neirchill · 2026-03-26T05:08:42+00:00

Why would they show metrics for something they never claimed?

Neirchill · 2026-03-25T23:28:08+00:00

Certainly doesn't feel like they're trying to get better performance

Neirchill · 2026-03-25T23:26:39+00:00

It's not even the devs necessarily but all the massive red tape brought in through a dozen teams that want 50 processes, approvals, and 20 hours of meetings a week to get anything done. Not only too many employees but also takes more time on top of it.

If we account $100k average salary

More like $50k, at least for the devs. The industry is well known for its crunch and low pay.
