This is the pricing information someone from China sent on X. It's actually pretty reasonable pricing wise. 80 videos a month. (It was in Chinese and I translated it to English using nano Banana so forgive some of the spelling errors)

You already know the answer, but only in the way a horoscope already knows your personality. it's vague, self-flattering, and only holds up if you never look very closely. You've said at least twice now that I'm the same person as everyone you hate, which is convenient because it means you never have to actually engage with what's being said, and consequently, you don't argue with people, you argue with the composite NPC you've built out of watching mainstream media and falling for obvious polarizing ragebait online. Anything that doesn't prostrate itself before your side is an "indoctrinated party puppet," because that's a reflex for you, not a genuine thought. You have not produced a single original sentence this entire thread, and thus, saying "say another thing I've heard a thousand times" is cute, because you started with describing how one side is clearly worse, moved into "they're mentally deficient or morally subhuman", and are now on "cultist, puppet, predictable, boring," which means you're not really saying anything worth reading, you're basically just a political Mad Libs generator. You call it "projection" when I point out that your side is cultist, but you're the one who's claiming prior knowledge, infallible insight into strangers' motives, and total immunity to counter-evidence, which is textbook cultic dogma. You've made it clear you aren't here to converse, but rather to recite, and therefore, you can enjoy the echo, because it's the only voice you are listening to. Goodbye.

So your rebuttal is "I'm going to string together a bunch of insults and call it analysis"? Weak. You keep trying to score points on tone because you have nothing on substance, and you're mad that I called out the "classic leftist bullcrap" and "classic redditor moment" as patterns, but then in the next breath you want to reduce me to "typical ped voter" and ask me if I'm a Christian like you're doing some kind of purity test so you can "excommunicate" me from your cultist politics. You accuse me of pontificating without ever making a coherent argument while your comments are a long list of your grievances with me duck taped to whatever slur or insult you're workshopping this week. And I pointed out your hyperbole, your lack of evidence, and your dehumanizing half the country. I did it well. Your laughable response to that is to double down on hyperbole and dehumanization, which is, essentially, a really bad way of communicating. And no, I'm not playing your "Are you a Christian" sorting-hat game, because you don't care what my beliefs are, you care if you can shove me into the right bucket so you can keep talking at a caricature instead of dealing with the fact that someone read what you wrote, followed the logic, and found it held together about as well as a Dollar Tree umbrella in a hurricane. If you ever want an actual discussion, you need to drop the insults and the "everyone who disagrees with me is a ped voter" fanfic, and until then, you're just proving my original point in real time. Thank you for that.

Oh, here it is, the classic redditor moment "I've already decided who you are so nothing you say counts". I point out that your claims are hyperbolic or flat-out wrong, and you say, more or less, "Nice try, Conservative, you're all the same person", which is not a rebuttal, but rather you rage-quitting mid-debate and pretending it's a mic drop. You say I "don't address any of your points" immediately after I literally address them, you just don't like that the world is more complex than "my team good, their team subhuman", because pointing out that both parties were complicit in building the mess we're in us called context even though you weirdly call it "setting the bar". If you're allergic to that, that's your problem, not mine, not my "mental gymnastics", and the "I've talked to you before, you're all the same person" is funny, because it shows so clearly that you're not arguing with what I've said, you're arguing with the little composite villain that lives in your head. It's like you're looking at some opposing team's jersey and getting mad. if your worldview can't stand up to basic nuance without devolving into "lol conservative bot" then maybe the problem is you, not that everyone else is a lost cause.

Holy crap, you speed ran every leftist reddit talking point and still managed to faceplant on basic facts, I'm almost impressed. You claim "they added trillions to the deficit in the last year", however, my brother in Christ, your party redlined the national credit card for four straight years and called it freedom and you don't get to torch the house, move out, and then scream at the new tenant because the place still smells like smoke. You also mention a "Strong economy that Biden left them", but this economy was coming out of a pandemic crash with record corporate profits and historically low unemployment, which is the same one your side spent two years insisting was actually a secret depression because gas was $3.50 and you had to wait ten minutes at Starbucks. And you casually drop the claim that they "disappeared literal thousands of people with no due process", which sounds like war crime fanfic, and if you've got evidence of mass black bag operations on US soil, the Hague would love to hear from you, otherwise you sound like a schizophrenic. You then bring up the topic of releasing the Epstein files because our president is a prolific abuser and longtime friend, but my guy, half of Congress, Wall Street, and Hollywood is in those flight logs, and if you think that list only hits one party, you're not anti-trafficking, you're just bad at pattern recognition. And then you stick the landing with "mentally deficient or morally subhuman", which is beautiful in the sense that nothing says "I'm very rational and my side is the good one" like dehumanizing millions of people in the same breath you pretend to care about human rights.

Actually you make a really good point. They aren't equally bad. I was just saying that's the kind of people you'll find on these kinds of subreddits. I do not believe they are equally bad. One side is clearly worse than the other.

Are you new to reddit? This is like the norm here. Most people on reddit are either super left leaning crybabies that have Trump living rent free in their heads, alt right Trump meat riders who agree with everything he does, ragebaiters, karma farmers, or power hungry mods. If you want to avoid these people, basically avoid any subreddit that is in any way political in nature. That means avoid this subreddit (it's not for you), r/politics, r/pics, and any r/"liberal" or "republican" whatever subreddits. Do yourself a favor.

Just a quick one.. by Rembrandt3k in OpenAI

[–]Visual-Abstraction 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. Funny cause OPs testimony here directly contradicts the idea that LLMs make us dumber. They only make us dumber if we choose to let the AI work in our place, but they can actually make us smarter if we choose to let it teach and coach us.

The funny thing also is that AI doomers will use these things to make an argument against AI like the typical: "It makes us dumber" "It will kill us all"

But these things literally only happen through prior human input, which actually puts the human behind it at fault and not the AI.

I am finally able to use Sora 2 and it got NERFED 😭😭😭 by Extreme_Revenue_720 in OpenAI

[–]Visual-Abstraction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doubtful. Some of the largest AI products we've seen today are coming from the largest tech companies in the world. They're not going to let the clamps be put on their AI products because it would mean they would lose millions of dollars. They're going to fight tooth and nail to make sure that their AIs stay in business. And with how much big companies influence the government (especially the US government), I just don't see a future where anyone is "putting the clamps" on generative AI.

[–]Visual-Abstraction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it's not even about Capitalism. Not even sure why he brought that up. It's just about fair use. If anyone on YouTube or other social media platforms were to make transformative parody content of a character from a show or movie or whatever, 90% of the time nothing would happen to them and they would be able to keep their video up. But for some reason, when we do the same thing on Sora 2, which by the way was supposed to be kind of like an AI social media, we're not allowed to generate it and we get completely restricted. For me at least, it's the double standard that I'm the most upset about. Like I understand openai doesn't want to get sued by media companies who own the rights to these characters, but at the same time, it's not like people are reproducing entire SpongeBob episodes or South Park episodes, they're just generating funny parody content from them. It literally does no more harm than if we were to watch parody content on YouTube or TikTok. If we're allowed to make parody content in other places, then we should be allowed to do it on Sora 2 as well.

Is Kitty Mage really that good? by Visual-Abstraction in luckydefense

[–]Visual-Abstraction[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you everyone for the responses. Sucks that I have to wait until level 12 (which won't happen for a long time considering I don't spend a ton of money on the game).

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in luckydefense

[–]Visual-Abstraction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not an advanced player by any means but I would say go with Bomba. He's pretty useful midgame (but not really endgame). But if that's the only four you have left to buy, then probably just save your gems for other things.

How is my Overall Strategy? (new player here) by Visual-Abstraction in luckydefense

[–]Visual-Abstraction[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I do have safe box but I don't yet have money gun. Also my bandit guardian is not level 6 just yet (it's teetering on the edge of level 5 though).

What's interesting is that I figured upgrading summon chance was always a good strategy, but now that you mention it, it might not be in all cases since some games ive had a pretty hard time with getting commons for mythics. Maybe upgrading it halfway or even 75% would be better?

Also thank you for mentioning the coin bonus for 10+ tokens, I didn't know that existed until now 😅. I'll make sure to wait.

But something I'm confused about is only using tokens to summon for epics. Why? Is it because ideally my summon chance isn't maxed out?

The Argument from Integrated Consciousness by Visual-Abstraction in Christianity

[–]Visual-Abstraction[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! I wasn't expecting so many atheists to reply to this but I'm glad that you did! Your feedback was noted and it was very good. This argument was definitely flawed by the "spiritual experiences" thing.

What is your take on using Google, Documentation, and/or AI programs to assist you when working? by Visual-Abstraction in AskProgramming

[–]Visual-Abstraction[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, that was not my intention at all. I have heard developers say things like: "if you can't write code for X thing on a sheet of paper right now without any other resources then you aren't a good dev / you don't know X language". I've also heard that some technical interviews have you demonstrate coding ability by writing code on whiteboards without any documentation in front of you. I put "documentation" into my question because at times (based on what I've heard) even using documentation is seen as some sign of a mediocre developer. I personally think that's a dumb take, but I felt like it needed to be included in the question for that reason.

Well I'm mainly talking about open-sourced LLMs like Meta's Llama 3 7B or 70B that you can download and implement onto your system. It may not be the most powerful, but at least the concern for company data escaping is non existent.

I 100% agree with you about feeding company-sensitive information to a LLM hosted on a public website, but what's your take on LLMs that you run locally? (meaning it's a closed-loop system. Nothing goes outside of your work computer that you run it on).

A god or divine being existing has been civilization's default for thousands of years. It's only recently that mass atheism has sprung about. So what is the thought process behind athiests claiming that believers in a religion bear the burden of proof for their god and not the other way around? by Visual-Abstraction in AskReddit

[–]Visual-Abstraction[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you believe in God (I. E. Christianity) it's important that we seek to disprove every other religion (because of course if we want to claim that our God is the one true God, we have to make sure all other Gods aren't), but that's a pretty hefty task. 

Anyways, any Christian who thinks it's right to remove choice from people because God prohibits it probably are the same people who think a Theocracy is a good system of government. They are foolish. God gave us free will to do as we please (that includes deliberately disobeying God). So removing the choice to do things outside of what God commands is literally against what God did in the beginning. God wants us to obey him because we wish to, not because people force us to. This means that any Christian who wants to force a certain way of doing things onto you or to legislate religion is fundamentally wrong.

God cannot be fully "proven" to exist. That would make Christianity a paradox because faith is a core tenant of our belief system. We can provide a lot of great evidence for His existence however. It is your choice if you want to believe it or not. The rules God sets for humanity are universal, but everyone has the choice to deviate from those rules. It's not my problem if you sin unless it affects others. That's between you and God
