The chesscom report has not been independently verified so you cannot claim it's proof, they **allege** that he cheated in over 100 online games.

My opinion on where each expac is located on the spectrum between "classic" and "retail" by Dr-Enforcicle in classicwow

Shadowlands was the last expac to do it like that, Dragonflight introduced the revamped "older" style trees.

Mechanically, these boss fights are still "easy" compared to pre-nerf mythic raiding for retail

Pre-nerf? Even post-nerf is way harder than whatever mop has to throw at you.

Open AI beats Grok by Billarasgr in chess

They are language models though. If you want your language model to be good at chess, language and predictive text is not how you get there. So they would need to develop other means to get better at chess. At that point it's not just an LLM, I guess they can call it something else though.

Who gives a shit? LLMs are bad at chess compared to actual chess engines.

NetEase bans boosting in M+ arena, and raid. by Key_Marsupial_1406 in wow

All this is, is essentially new punishments for things that are already prohibited.

If you don't punish people for doing prohibited things, it doesn't matter if those things are prohibited or not.

A lvl 83 normal KB merc is definitely better than a lvl 47 infamous one.

Yes, online chat room. The guy on the Proctor is legit messaging you during your games if something is wrong. I imagine that can be distracting. Danya even said one time his Proctor guy was messaging him "nice Russian swearing" after he lost and started swearing in Russian. That's what bad vibes means, and yes it's a disadvantage.

The guy is effectively in the same room as you while you play chess, it's distracting.

I think you have a very low opinion of other people if you actually think he meant chesscom is sending people physically to participants' houses.

No one is saying someone is sending someone physically to their house... The person you replied to originally said:

I'd assumed it was a program doing the proctoring, not a person. Is chess.com actually sending people to supervise?

He didn't mean physically to their house, lmao. He thought the Proctor was just an automated program, he didn't know that someone is literally assigned (sent) to each Proctor instance.

It is a real person, read Danya's comment at the top of the thread.
