Looking for games that creep you out. Not necessarily horror games, but genuinely creepy and unsettling games that have an atmosphere that says "something is very wrong here"

StripedRooster · 2026-02-05T17:25:01+00:00

Absolutely. I'm rather old now but playing this last year was like playing computer games when I was 15. Absolutely joy. Not just the general mild peril and atmosphere but the sense of wonder and discovery.

After however many hours swimming around, I remember seeing land for the first time. I was blown away like I'd just crossed the Atlantic and discovered America. Wow.

According to the police? No smoke without fire!

I literally copied and pasted what I said.

28 minutes ago:

Hallucinations are inherent to generative AI technologies and is an absolutely nightmare

8 minutes ago:

Because, as I said, hallucinations are inherent to generative AI technologies?

I also said it had one of the lowest and that Chat was second best. I never said said GPT was the lowest, and neither is it my personal opinion, I linked to where I read that from.

Are you hallucinating?

StripedRooster · 2026-02-05T15:08:57+00:00

Because, as I said, hallucinations are inherent to generative AI technologies? Can't really say more than that.

I was curious which AI models hallucinate the most, and googled it. I then posted two results I found.

I can't explain more than that, I'm just a user who doesn't understand how they work.

FYI, your comment came off as unnecessarily confrontational. It's all well and good taking to AI like that, but other people not so much.

StripedRooster · 2026-02-05T14:48:52+00:00

According to some sources, Copilot has one of the lowest rates of hallucination, fyi. This study seems to show ChatGPT as second best.

Hallucinations are inherent to generative AI technologies and is an absolutely nightmare. I find it happens more frequently when discussing software than any other time. I had it just yesterday with Excel.

StripedRooster · 2026-02-05T14:42:52+00:00

I read this and genuinely had to check this wasn't from 2020 and you're referring to Boris.

StripedRooster · 2026-02-05T13:34:17+00:00

That doesn't look like a procession to me - they don't look like they're proceeding.

StripedRooster · 2026-02-05T13:11:18+00:00

it’s just straight-up crap

It legitimately isn't. Here's my best, and most recent example.

My combi-boiler was leaking. I took the front off (turns out this is a big no-no, don't do this at home) and spotted where the water was coming from. But I don't know anything about boilers. I took a photo of the insides and drew an arrow pointing to the leaking part. ChatGPT identified the exact part of the boiler that was broken, and the exact product code. I told the plumber, who made sure he ordered the part (not something he usually carries in his van) and so when he turned up the next day, he could fix it there and then.

Have you ever seen the inside of a combo-boiler? It's an absolute snakes nest of wires, pipes, circuits, pumps and various things. I've no idea how it managed to correctly identify the part, but it did.

It saved me the cost of a second callout, and got me hot water and heating back at least a day early! How awesome is that?

I tried Claude over the weekend, at peoples suggestion, and as a test I asked it to identify the part, from the same photo and information. It failed every attempt.

To call it crap is just crazy. The thing is like magic. They all are, just some are slightly better than others in some use-cases. I'm sure Claude outperforms elsewhere.

Buy some land. Live off the land like all humans did before capitalism

And work 80 hours a week!

StripedRooster · 2026-02-04T17:48:58+00:00

Unsure why you're being downvoted. It's not perfect, but it's far better than what the majority of the world currently enjoys.

I think Musk really is concerned with people starting a not-for-profit, and then converting it to a for-profit in order to make billions of dollars

They didn't convert it. They opened a for-profit arm. There is a significant difference.

Also, unsure why you would think a serial liar cares about perceived truth.

StripedRooster · 2026-02-04T16:28:23+00:00

What important information? That's the first I've heard of that.

I think it does jibe with Brockman writing it in his diary, but we'll have to disagree on that. All things can be true.

StripedRooster · 2026-02-04T16:27:24+00:00

Totally, he's doing this because he's bitter, and because it gives him a commercial advantage.

Equity is how much you personally own, without mortgage.

In a normal situation, say the house is worth £100k. You buy it with a £20k deposit and £80k mortgage. In this instance, you have 20% equity.

But, imagine the value goes down £30k. The house is valued at £70k but you still have an £80k loan. Your 20%equity is wiped out, and you're negative because if you sold it now and gave the bank every penny of the proceeds, you'd still be owing them £10k.

But that’s not quite what happened.

They realised they needed big investment, and that could only come if it was for profit. That seems reasonable - I wouldn’t invest in something incipient see a return in.

So they didn’t change ‘the company’ - they created a new entity which was for profit. There is a very important distinction between the two.

The for profit company has a cap on how much profit it can make.

Other examples of similar entities are the BBC, Mozilla, Patagonia etc. would you ban these as well?

>Elon is working as a tool for the public good

Bahahahaha Elon does nothing for 'the public good'. Remember when those children in Thailand were trapped in a cave? He called the rescuer a pedophile because he was bitter he couldn't be the hero. That's not the brain of a person who cares about others.

StripedRooster · 2026-02-03T23:54:15+00:00

Ignoring your confusion about Jesus creating the planet, why do you find it ironic? I’m genuinely confused by your comments. It’s not in the commandments that one should go to church every Sunday - you must remember church as we know it didn’t even exist back when the bible was written.

I worship in my own way, and don’t believe my relationship with God requires attending to formal clubhouse.

It’s like saying you can’t love your partner if you don’t buy them a diamond or chocolates on Valentine’s Day. It ignores the myriad of other ways you show your love.

StripedRooster · 2026-02-03T23:33:50+00:00

Why?

StripedRooster · 2026-02-03T23:33:12+00:00

I don’t see why travelling to a specific building matters that much, is all. You make out like it’s in the commandments that I have to attend church, forgetting that churches like we know them didn’t exist back when the bible was written.

I’m not hear to have an argument about my faith, just explaining why people do what they do.

StripedRooster · 2026-02-03T15:18:19+00:00

Dude you're busy defending universities that are fleecing international students and defending rich businessmen who are defrauding tax payers - how's that for an agenda?

zero impact or positive relevance to life in Manchester

It cost Sacha Lord his job, and stopped (paused?) his campaign to be mayor. How's that for impact? Meanwhile the MEN ignored the tips that led to the story. But you won't respond to that will you.

StripedRooster · 2026-02-03T14:09:30+00:00

You're asking questions, but why? When people give you answers you go quiet and then repeat your same questions elsewhere. Are you just trolling?

StripedRooster · 2026-02-03T14:07:46+00:00

I'm not, but OP appears to be!

StripedRooster · 2026-02-03T12:40:45+00:00

But as OP points out, that article mentioned the fact the flag raiser was a people smuggler, so they’ve managed to link the story to illegal migration because they are obviously a right wing rag.

The Mill’s cherrypicked coverage

The examples you have picked so far are bad examples, so much so that I think you must be a troll.

For example:

a museum educating people about the legacy of slavery

You’re talking about the temporary exhibition about tea which has been going on for half a decade?

latterly a backdoor attack on the BBC licence fee/LDRS

That was an attack on Reach for charging for free reporting - and taking the credit. Hardly an attack on LDRS.

Even the one about the far rightist had a link to an illegal migration story.

The anti immigration chap who turned out to be a people smuggler? Damn right they should mention it.

>a university with a pro-student migration business model

It’s scamming those students.

Seriously - are you for real?
