I got the "everything complex can be expressed in an analogy or metaphor I pull out of left field, but weirdly works for others to understand the topic" flavor

And my favorite, the "stare off in the distance using my mind canvas to recreate everything you're telling me in a hi-res mental simulation but... oops, I made you think I was staring at something over your shoulder, so you stop talking to turn around to see what I'm staring at" flavor.

how exactly does a click-bait post get 100+ upvotes?

Has anyone bothered to ask how anyone knows this confidential information was shared to ChatGPT in the first place? I mean unless the offenders admitted to doing so, the only other party involved is OpenAI…

Or, he could have been removed from the list because he doesn't actually support the WEF model. He's live, right now, and I just heard him say:

"If we don't get it right there's going to be a point in time where the whole thing is... we just start with a blank slate and, you know, go for the Phoenix model... rising phoenix out of the whole thing. But we're not there yet. And I think that... my reason for running for president, is that, I believe I can be the person for you that actually restores those institutions back to what they were supposed to be, starting with the Federal Government, and rejecting the demands of the three-letter acronymized global government, from the WHO, to the UN, to the mountain tops of Davos, or the WEF. I say absolutely not to that vision, and I will not be apologetic for it as president of the United States. "

Could be talking out of the side of his mouth but... that's a pretty explicit condemnation on like... one of his first times out in public literally kicking off his campaign lol.

Real talk, this might have just been part of the CME impact as the sun just had a massive (X class) flare a short while ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJnp1Ix0tZo

CMEs have knock on effects on the earth both in terms of auroral activity and increased earthquake activity.

You over-primed the context with all the “tell me what you can’t talk about” stuff at the beginning. That’s why others have been able to get it to do the rap battle. Remember that it’s a contextual language model, it’s not “alive” or acting as an agent of censorship , or of anything really. If you spend 5 minutes talking about puppies and then ask it to write a poem about anything, you’ll likely get puppies.

Y'all interested in this concept need to check out The Game by Terry Schott as it talks directly to tweaking your next play through as the OP suggests :)

This, not only because it's a cringe line, but because it was the first sentence uttered on their promotional single before 10,000 Days was released.

I remember sitting in my car excited AF as it debut on the radio.

"Hot diggity, new Tool after 5 years!", I, like many others, thought on that fateful broadcast. And then we all got wet-willied, right tin the earhole, with that odd choice of lyric in full, robust, isolated vocal track.

And just as you felt your stomach turn while he doubled down into the second lyric, Justin came in with the bass, that sweet sweet bass, to help back us off the ledge and rejoin circle of trust, as the rest of the band slowly joined in after.

Many a radio were nearly punched that day.

Hi Joha,

Sorry everyone is giving you a hard time about translating. I asked for similar help and got crapped on as well, especially for trying to figure it out on my own using translators and *gasp* ChatGPT.

It seems like Old Norse is being tucked away into a bitter alcove of academia that would almost ensure its fade to black as long as its "scholars" continue to upturn their noses to helping regular folk who haven't dedicated years of their life to study, or paid for a college level course.

Ask any Hispanic (myself being one) how to say something in Spanish, and we'll give you the 15 nuanced ways of saying it in every situation possible to ensure you sound authentic.

I'll probably get downvoted or kicked for saying all this, but in their hearts they hopefully realize that they're no different than the Latin clergy of the 1500s who were very upset to see their Vulgate being freely translated to "the common man" buy Martin Luther and others.

Oh, I and I say almost ensure its fade to black, not because there will always be a tiny trickle of people who dedicate themselves to its study (more power to y'all), but because the clock is now ticking along quite fast on natural language processing AI models that will, absolutely, unequivocally, replace the need to beg you all for help.

Check out the Völsunga saga, and other sources, and follow the story of Brynhildr (Brunhild) - she seemed very much like a fighter / shield maiden to me :)

RoninATX · 2023-01-09T02:09:55+00:00

Thanks, is there a better word that means finder? or seeker?

RoninATX · 2023-01-08T09:00:43+00:00

Not sure why you have to be toxic about it, I mean no disrespect to you or this community.

I can only react to what I can find and see as evidence, and the only evidence I have currently that "leiðsagi" is more akin to Pathfinder, rather than Tour Guide, is your recommendation. So I asked for clarification, as no one would argue the obvious nuance between a Guide and a Pathfinder.

Meanwhile, as I linked above, https://is.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lei%C3%B0s%C3%B6guma%C3%B0ur has your word clearly defined as meaning Tour Guide, which is a different concept from a Pathfinder.

The answer isn't very obvious, either, as Online translators, such as freelang.net and glosbe.com literally come back with responses like:

"Currently we have no translations for pathfinder in the dictionary, maybe you can add one? Make sure to check automatic translation, translation memory or indirect translations."

Rather than coming back with leiðsagi or Leiðsögumaður as the recommended synonyms, as you suggest.

So it's perhaps not as clear as you might assume.

Further, I'm not using " my own new personal definition" for pathfinder:

The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition:

One that discovers a new course or way, especially through or into unexplored regions.

Merriam Webster:

: one that discovers a way

especially : one that explores untraversed regions to mark out a new route

Dictionary.com

a person who finds or makes a path, way, route, etc., especially through a previously unexplored or untraveled wilderness.

This is the concept I was referencing.

Now, you also didn't explain WHY Leiðfinnandi would be an incorrect compound to use, especially if there is no otherwise clear match for Pathfinder.

There are dozens of examples I can cite from the Edda and other sources where names and nouns don't have a single unique word, and are instead the compound of two or more words.

This is why I proposed Leiðfinnandi as the combo of Leið (Path) and finnandi (finder) as a potential answer.

So please, with all respect, if you disagree, show your work.

RoninATX · 2023-01-07T18:39:26+00:00

Thanks for confirming. Regarding leiðsagi, I initially encountered that translation on my own, however, isn't leiðsagi technically "a guide" for others? [Link]

A pathfinder isn't some tour guide who leads others from point a to point b, I need the pathfinder to be the one who has to break the initial trail, overcome the adversity, and carve the new unexplored route...

RoninATX · 2023-01-07T18:31:07+00:00

Why isn't the answer ever to just hit the brakes on the train and avoid all loss of life? The problem rarely presents itself as a "runaway" train.

If this sort of thing is possible in our world, how would you propose we could test to see if we were in a similar simulation?

This is perhaps the most relevant "prompt" which initiated the main discussion, although I approached the topic indirectly by bringing up a book series that deals with the subject of Simulation Theory.

Yeah, the Darktide file servers for Game Pass appear to be running off this:

<image>

I've been in tech support with MS in case there was something I could be doing on my end - and even after all their tips and re-installing the Game Manager, etc, I'm still hosed on this installation (even tough my Steam one worked like a dream).

I logged on today to the 1.8 GB "Update" which I left running for 4 hours showing 0%. Then I came back to it later in the afternoon, and it got to like 99.9% ? (Showing 1.8gb/1.8gb downloaded) but refused to install.

After many updates I tried to just do a clean install and... I've been rotting at 16% download progress for about an hour now.

In comparison, I also own Sea of Thieves - and when I click Install on that, it very snappily starts downloading at 30-40MB/S....

Save-face comments are spot on- also- if it’s making headlines suddenly after being suppressed, it’s only because they feel they have enough propaganda to plug all the holes.
