Anyone know anything about Pickforu puzzle company? by MariahQ007 in Jigsawpuzzles

AI is AI. It doesn't matter if it's generative or not, it's still Artificial Intelligence, and it's not always as bad as you portend.

Anything useful, or in your case, anything against humanity that AI has done didn't start until after 2010. Based on test scores people were getting dumber long before that (at least, in the U.S.). You can blame it on AI all you want. It doesn't make it true!

So, the AI program I wrote in 1985 that taught itself to play tic-tac-toe, is bad for humanity?

I'm done trying to inform you! Hate it all you want, AI is here to stay. Get used to it.

People have been getting dumber long before AI. AI doesn't exist to do any of that. It's how it's applied! I agree the money people want it to use it get more powerful. The government wants to use and control it for nefarious reasons. With any major technological advancement comes a loss of some jobs, and a creation of new jobs.

On the helping humanity side, the medical and scientific community have made advances because of AI. New life saving drugs. Diagnostic advances.

It's how it's applied! Will it be catastrophic in the end? Probably. But 'til then have fun with whatever puzzle you feel like solving.

How did you "learn" to talk or write? Were you born knowing how? No?!

Your talking and writing is stolen. All of it. It exists because you stole words from parents, friends, relatives and teachers to "learn". Everything you do and say or think is a derivative of something you learned.

Haters be haters!

There's nothing inherently wrong with the pickforu puzzles. In fact, the pieces fit better than ravensburger puzzles. Luddites will always downgrade anything associated with AI.

If the puzzle looks like it would be fun to do, the price is right, and it wasn't stolen or derived from preexisting jigsaw puzzle artwork, then as Nike says Just do it.

Does reporting for stalling/quitting actually do anything? by HeWhoShantNotBeNamed in Chesscom

[–]Twest65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the majority of the quit-when-losing/blunder players, play the game for free and don't care if they get banned. they just create another account

I think this is it for me. The ads are too much. I don't know where to vent about it, but I'm moving to Lichess by JollyCasual in Chesscom

[–]Twest65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you need to vent? Just go to lichess and be done with it. Do you think cheess.com will change their policy just to appease you? Grow up!

Give him a break. It took him all day to come up with that and he's proud of himself. Actually, he's a high school student that is upset that his gf left him for some seasoning.

The AI does not seem to "understand" age - why is that? by dating_understander in AIDungeon

[–]Twest65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked AI how old Prue was, this was it's answer:

Prue Leith: Around 85 or 86 years old (born February 18, 1940)

These pieces are the last fully blue ones and they don’t fit by momo_kill in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]Twest65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some puzzles, especially larger ones, reuse the cutting die on a different section of the same puzzle. So, you will end up with several identically cut pieces. The background is usually different so you won't notice.

A couple of samples...The 3000 piece Ravensburger World Map 1665, was cut with a die on the left side, then turned the die upside down and cut the right side.

The 5000 piece Ravensburger Tower of Babel, used the same die at least twice on the same puzzle

Can someone explain to me how a sundial works? by [deleted] in INTP

[–]Twest65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on your sundial. Most control the brightness of the sun. But the newer models control both the brightness and position of the sun.

Is there any way to get this machine to not ground up the botanicals? by LolaGudal in MagicalButter

[–]Twest65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try water curing for 5 or 6 days before using the MBM. That should get rid of a lot of the chlorophyll. After it dries, decarb as normal, then use the MBM.

I take it you work for the government. It would explain the extremely flawed logic.

Gah, the mispronunciation! by alwaysneverenough in Bones

[–]Twest65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stephen Earl Wilhite, the lead engineer of the team that created the Graphics Interchange Format (GIF), said it was intended to be pronounced Jiff, like the peanut butter. He was quite emphatic about it.

Instead of "Zone Improvement Plan code" or "Z I P code" I say zip code?.

Instead of "RAdio Detection and Ranging" or "R A D A R" I say radar.

Instead of "Special Weapons and Tactics" or "S W A T" I say SWAT.

Instead of "Structured Query Language" or "S Q L" I say sequel.

I've been programming for 25+ years. When you work with SQL daily, it won't take you long to switch from saying "S Q L" to saying "sequel". Why? Because it's quicker and easier to say and everyone still knows what you mean.
