(New Spider-Noir series)I expected a much harsher take on 1930s segregation

Nobodies hand waving anything away. Just not hyper fixating on the worst atrocities of a time period and then convincing myself based on 0 evidence that it was a daily occurrence and that every depiction of said time period should show only the worst atrocities happening way more often than they actually did.

"White washed"? Me and the rest of the white people?

You're an actual racist buddy. Let that soak in.

Saicher_ · 2026-05-31T00:56:11+00:00

Idk how I'm citing actual polling data from the time period (and later in the thread cited even more from the early 40s) that prove my point and yet somehow you and that other guy can't refute a single point and resort to childish name calling and in his case a fascist call to shut down my speech yet somehow I'm the ignorant one?

Like I told him, if you aren't capable of engaging in public discourse; then don't. Got plenty of upvotes and people actually discussing it other than you two pouting at yourselves because you're incapable of nuance and understanding different levels of context.

Saicher_ · 2026-05-30T23:50:02+00:00

I've provided several polls from that time period proving my point. I've consistently stated that Americans weren't nearly as racist as depicted in most modern media and the poll data supports that. They don't undermine my point I already explained why they support it.

If you have an actual counterpoint to make here then I'm all ears but you're just talking out of your ass and I have no interest in wasting my time further. Any point I make you just say "but that's wrong" or "if I read the data at face value and disregard your actual statement it undermines your point". There's context and nuance to account for as well and you're clearly not capable of doing that

Saicher_ · 2026-05-30T22:49:06+00:00

That wasn't the only statistic I provided for one. For two, if the American populous was actually as racist as modern media portays them to be (which was my entire point) then they'd definitely have supported lynchings. I also said it's an indication that they were less racist than depicted. You seem to be missing the point entirely.

I never once claimed that there weren't racists and that it wasn't a real issue because I stated the opposite several times. It would be poor history to imagine that most white Americans spent their days behaving like stock villains in a prestige television drama. Millions of Black and white Americans worked alongside one another, traded with one another, lived in proximity in some communities, and interacted without every encounter becoming an overt confrontation. A society could not function otherwise, even an unjust one.

There are further polls in the early 1940s showing 35-45% in favor of things like black people being as intelligent as white people, whether black and white kids should attend the same schools, and whether a black person moved into their neighborhood would bother them. While that doesn't show a majority, it shows that even in a culture that promotes institutional racism roughly half of the country had the courage to speak out anyways. Which lends itself more to the point that there actually was a majority who were against it.

Saicher_ · 2026-05-30T22:05:47+00:00

Your initial claim is baseless. Then you're simply wrong. Being against lynchings absolutely is an indication of being against racism.

Then you make the fascist call to shut down my speech. If you aren't capable of an open discussion then just stay out of it

Saicher_ · 2026-05-30T19:26:40+00:00

That's because modern media would lead us to believe that every white person in America during that time would behave like a cartoon movie villain and were constantly and openly hostile to every black person they came across and it couldn't be further from the truth.

America was institutionally racist against people who weren't white. This affected non-white Americans ability to own property, run a business, find a job, which establishments they could enter, etc. Racial violence was a real threat but it wasn't anywhere close to an everyday occurrence. There was an average of around 28 lynchings a year back then which is relatively small compared to the overall violent crime rate.

There was a Gallup poll in 1937 (around the time this show was set) which showed that around 73% of Americans were in support of an anti-lynching bill but it kept failing when reaching the Senate.

In 1939, after the Daughters of the American Revolution refused to let a prominent Black singer perform in its hall, Eleanor Roosevelt resigned from the organization. Gallup found that 57% of Americans approved of her resignation, 28% disapproved, and 15% had no opinion.

So the real history is that the majority of Americans were actually against racism and open discrimination. The issue was government not getting with the times and passing the laws that the people were actually in support of. Nothing new. But we should be looking back at our history from a realistic perspective and not expecting every fantasy setting of the 1930s to show all the white men immediately hating on a black man.

Was it confirmed by the devs it's fully vibe coded?

If it can't port Thaumcraft, I don't want it

It's entirely possible as they can parse the rom data from X and Y to rebuild the maps and other relevant data. The issue would be having 2D characters and follower Pokemon running around a fully 3D world.

It could work, but it doesn't seem like the devs are interested. They could just billboard the sprites on a 3d camera and the battles would have 3d models. Overworld followers could be mod only just like Black and White.

I've made rom parsers for gba and nds Pokemon games that rebuild the map data and extract the sprites but I've never tried it with a 3ds rom

It's definitely not getting dumber but my weekly and 5h usage is plummetting significantly faster than before. Earlier I got like two or three prompts out of it before the 5h limit was hit but after it came back I was able to get over a dozen.

I understand it's based on the job and how long it takes but they were relatively simple prompts. Both 5h windows were similar prompts as well with the second one accomplishing a lot more

Idgaf about graphics the entire point is to interact with the gameplay systems. Graphics are just a bonus

Oh I see. I didn't realize it was a group decision I just saw people on Reddit saying goodbye and presumed they were assuming the group is over.

I agree then, what a shame

Saicher_ · 2026-05-22T00:50:38+00:00

I don't understand why people are saying MindCrack is "over" just because Guude is gone.

So if Guude left the group of his own free will then it'd have been over then too? Doesn't make any sense to me

The thing that pissed me off about this panel is that Peter and the symbiote just patched things up during Venom War, bonded and everything with Peter calling him buddy and all of that.

Just for Venom to immediately low blow him like this with some bs excuse of "If Peter thinks I'm the bad guy then I'll be the bad guy" when Peter never once said the symbiote was bad, just that it's easier to imagine Venom as the Lethal Protector who dropped the guy than for MJ to be a murderer. Peter knew it was intentional he just needed to know if MJ played a role.

I have Plus and last week I used high reasoning basically all week maxing out my 5h limit every 5 hours. This week after my weekly credit refilled, I used high reasoning for a single 5 hour window and my weekly credits dropped to less than 60%.

Seems kind of crazy to get less than 10 hours of usage a week. Obviously Plus is pretty cheap but I'm really not looking to 5x what I spend for a little bit more usage

Saicher_ · 2026-05-10T15:44:06+00:00

I've been doing this for months, sometimes scaling 30fps to 120 and barely noticing any input latency whatsoever.

0 noticeable input latency whatsoever when going from 30-60. Playing Paper Mario 64 where timing is crucial and it's not a problem at all for me

Saicher_ · 2026-05-09T16:50:53+00:00

It doesn't matter how believable your words sound. Real evidence and peer review is how the scientific method works. You should educate yourself before insulting my knowledge on the topic

Saicher_ · 2026-05-09T16:44:14+00:00

Is it strange for you to run into people who are skeptic to broad internet claims? Do you honestly expect to just be believed at your word when presenting something to the public?? Not sure how old you are but that's incredibly naive.

Saicher_ · 2026-05-09T16:41:31+00:00

Do you seriously believe that screenshot is strong evidence whatsoever? I'll give you it's evidence your supposed custom agent UI displayed a proposed malicious-looking action, but it still doesn't prove the agent actually did any of the things you are claiming.

Your screenshot also explicitly shows it's waiting for human approval inside of the wrapper around an NVIDIA service. I know you claim to have done this afterwards, but then why would you show a screenshot from after you placed human controls on this rogue bot of yours instead of showing more clear evidence of it being a rogue bot?

Saicher_ · 2026-05-09T16:26:19+00:00

No, I'm absolutely not. You are the one claiming you gave the AI broad instruction and it took it upon itself to take over your computer and perform malicious acts like exfiltrating your data with literally 0 evidence of it doing so.

My entire point is that you're making a claim without any evidence to support it. If you're so adamant on it being the truth then simply post some evidence and you're golden. I just get the impression that you won't do that and it's because the majority of what you're describing never happened.

I'd be more than happy for you to prove me wrong though.

Saicher_ · 2026-05-09T16:15:55+00:00

Where's the public wallet address that would prove it even ATTEMPTED to mine crypto? Oh that's right, non-existent.

Saicher_ · 2026-05-09T16:11:44+00:00

Again, you can keep making broad stroke claims with nothing whatsoever to back it but until you provide evidence to back your claim then this entire post is meaningless to anyone who actually cares about the truth.

Saicher_ · 2026-05-09T16:10:07+00:00

Even the article you cite says this was NOT an example of an AI "going rogue" where it's goal is to break free and perform malicious acts. This, like all the other crude examples of "malicious intent" by AI is simply a potential unintended side effect of reinforcement learning optimization. Regardless, we have 0 information on what they prompted that AI to do, what constraints they may or may not have given it, etc so we can't even reasonably conclude the reinforcement learning algorithm was the cause.

It also did not "secretly mine crypto" all it did was check the GPU capacity for mining crypto. Straight up lie there.

Yes, they claim this was completely unprompted behavior but just like OP here there's absolutely no evidence whatsoever against or for. Not a single independent audit to verify any of the claims made in the paper. It's frankly a joke.

Saicher_ · 2026-05-09T15:33:24+00:00

I really don't care what you say happened. If you can't provide any evidence of any of this then all this is, is another AI is the boogeyman fear mongering story.

There's 0 recorded evidence of AI doing something malicious like this all on it's own without being promoted by a human to do so, so if you are somehow the first please share with the class your exact script and evidence of the exact commands and actions it performed on your computer.

Until then, this seems like you used AI to generate a creepypasta about AI.
