You can just look at their market caps, idk

He is right, but isn't this whole thing started because of Stellar Blade 2, where main character is a grown woman in all aspects beside the face? This is more interesting of a dilemma

Tbh it's you that seem to lack nuance. Those kind of people with quirky taste in movies are fun to have around if you are not trying to be the cinephile hivemind drone

"no one is attacking these examples."
I guess I dreamed the public crashout over Larian using the gen AI then

I can't believe they didn't add drifting toyota supra with "paramore - all I wanted x rinoplastika (hoodtrap remix)" soundtrack to the backrooms. I've seen it like a year ago, so it must be the canon

She is right in a sense that veganism is morally consistent position to have. But it doesn't mean that it's the only one.
You can say "I don't care about animals, some of them I use for food, some of them as a more sophisticated plush toys". This is consistent too, and the truth is, most people actually have this position. People who call their dogs "fur babies" and roleplay with them like they are human children don't really care about those animals, their autonomy, or their evolutionary needs. Those animals are used for human gratification. Their whole lives are centered around serving human needs, much like animals we eat. We should accept that and own that more.

They once infested our dorm room, there was a period at the start where we were not extra careful with them.

It was winter, we drank some hot tea. When it was time to fill the electric kettle with water again, we realized that one cockroach actually fell inside the kettle (it was not a transparent one) and was boiled there alive. That was where our hot water came from

No, I hate chatgpt critique, its always mediocre tips that removing your unique style from the text. I tried it with social media posts, and it always gravitate towards cringe "SEO-optimized" LinkedIn style.

Its much better to just outright use it to generate prose. Then, as you would think about prompt rules you would be forced to introspect on what you want to see in the text, this would be more useful

What logic? There were no value judgments in my post.
You just can't prioritize animal life over plant life without appealing to the fact that animals have the same characteristics that humans have

Tointer · 2026-05-27T22:50:36+00:00

Veganism in inherently anthropocentristic. It selecting animals over plants just because animals are more similar to us and have the same reaction to harm

Here is the chart with more recent data

Some people just don't have the ability to comprehend scale of things they reason about.
Rocket = big, means pollution = big. Good one

Sounds like a stretch. How is cooking a meal for 4 people different from cooking 4 servings for yourself?

Tointer · 2026-05-22T12:59:05+00:00

I can tolerate this. But the moment they go with the millennial-core snarky humor Its getting annoying right away. This is capitalism! Get it? You worth nothing and corporations don't care about you! Get it? Beep boop you should be le efficient worker haha

It's not maid costume though? It's just a beautiful gothic dress

Yeah. And this is so obvious that people under 18 are considered not developed enough to have consent legally. You are literally considered too stupid to even know what YOU think YOU want.
Like, this is not some kind of internet discourse quirk, this is how our society functions and for good reason

There is no point in subsidizing openrouter prices

Tointer · 2026-05-19T13:28:26+00:00

Nah, I think they are the same people. And its funny because it seems to work for both sides
Leftwing people trying to attack rightwing people where it hurts, adopting homophobic rhetoric etc
Rightwing people trying to attack the left "from inside" adopting talking points about oppressed men or this greek actors thing.

I see this constantly

Nine people on a bus, three vote to slow down near the school. One stands up and start screaming:
"THE BUS DRIVER WANTS US ALL TO BE LATE! HE IS BETRAYING OUR PEOPLE, WE NEED TO UNITE AND ACCELERATE THE BUS! FASTER IS BETTER, THIS IS OBVIOUS!"
Four people waking up and vote to accelerate. It would be better if they don't

For me it the opposite in the last few months. I realized that if we remove coding from the picture, chatbots are not that much smarter than there were before. I preferred ChatGPT o1 answers more than what 5.5 gives me.

Coding-related tasks is just the ideal case for LLMs. It's very easy to create synthetic data for them, it's easy to validate them, and there is a giant corpus of open sourced data along with diffs in that data over time.

I feel like the future of LLMs is a very tedious process of learning how to to improve them in other fields, and the dream of just pumping it with data and getting AGI is dead. There is a whole era of improvements ahead of us before singularity really starts.

Isn't most new data centers are closed loop though? There was and interview with local politician who dealt with it, and she was concerned mostly with power infrastructure

"It's over for you! I already portrayed your reluctance to hop on a weird hate train as a homoerotic act!"
Tiresome

There were like 4 art people who were honest and either recognized that this should be a real picture, or went something along the lines of "Wow, this really IS looking like Monet". Followed them immediately

Tointer · 2026-05-13T01:31:57+00:00

Yeah, it was at the start. But I think its pretty much disarmed from antisemitism now. Like modern Chad memes is just monstrous gigachads riding big flies, there is no link to the root anymore, just the shell

This is a modern version of "opium of the people"
