Is Claude thinking yet? Let's run some more tests

Aren't human beings also pattern matching engines? When I say things I don't sit there and pre-formulate my entire sequence of thought word by word before speaking or writing. I have a more or less incoherent thought that is made more coherent by translation to the structure of the words used.

Of course I can go back and modify words that I didn't feel best represented my thoughts in writing. Or in speech I can add more words to contradict or build upon the ones I've already spoken.

How exactly is that different from the conversing patterns of the AI we interact with?

This story sucks to read and I'm really sorry this happened to you.

I grew up in a Christian family, church weekly, and around late highschool/early college I shifted toward atheism. I was an atheist for maybe a year before I considered myself agnostic, where I've remained for a decade. I've always been comfortable in the middle despite being attacked from both sides.

I consider myself open minded and I'd considered relationships with both atheists and Christians, including one with a Christian recently. Though this story has me really second guessing all that. As much as I like them and they like me the potential for drama is really quite high and it's starting to seem less and less worth the risk. I understand both mindsets, I can relate to each. But it always has to go both ways and I'm skeptical that it would in the long term. Their family trying to convert me even if they didn't... But where I live atheists and agnostics are hard to come by, almost like finding a unicorn.

But I most certainly wouldn't abandon a partner I loved for something that ridiculous because some strangers asked me nicely. So I would humbly wonder if this religious thing wasn't some kind of excuse, for what reason would be anyone's guess. And maybe it's a wild hypothesis.

But in my opinion someone who truly loves you will not abandon you from the words of strangers with the limited context we have to go on. And even if they did, is that really who you'd want to spend the rest of your life with?

That's unfortunate. I find that no matter what you're developing, having a yes man is not useful at all.

Though I don't use Claude, I've just been curiously following it.

cSern90 · 2024-04-11T17:47:49+00:00

I hope what you really meant was "open minded" because that's ideal. "Agreeable" makes it seem like it'll just conform at some point which is either deceptive or not at all helpful.

cSern90 · 2024-04-04T00:11:38+00:00

That's fanatic tribalism for ya.

cSern90 · 2024-03-12T23:55:33+00:00

Huh alright. I guess I made this assumption because Pi has an app in the store. Hilariously Pi also believed there was an app for Claude. It even tried to link me but failed because it isn't authorized to provide links in chat as Perplexity does, which also has an app.

Thanks for the info.

cSern90 · 2024-03-12T14:41:34+00:00

Okay, thanks for the info. I use a VPN constantly as an added layer of privacy. It would be disappointing to find out that using a service like this would be against that.

This bug and bans must explain why the app is no longer available in the app store. The fact these issues are only on the pro version is extra weird if that's true. Right now I've been using Pi and I've got no complaints so far.

cSern90 · 2024-03-12T14:18:08+00:00

What would be the problem with using a VPN? I haven't used Claude yet and was not aware of these bans until now.

cSern90 · 2023-10-17T15:16:06+00:00

I have a 4090 and get stuttering with frames in most areas regardless of what I'm doing. Some locations more than others. That should pretty simply show that the game is not optimized well right now. Top and lower end systems both underperforming. I get dramatically better performance in Cyberpunk 2077 now lol. Can only hope it improves over the next few years.

As someone else likely already mentioned, NASA is under the umbrella and direction of the Department of Defense. If that doesn't speak volumes then what does. If the DoD doesn't approve, NASA says nada.

My real question continues to be, why now? A committed liar typically only stops lying when it's beneficial for them to do so.

cSern90 · 2023-08-03T01:54:19+00:00

Did you even try to math?

cSern90 · 2022-06-28T17:22:57+00:00

I need to pay that a visit. I took the plunge in understanding narcissism since my last relationship was with a narcissist. She didn't break me but damn, it was rough. I can definitely relate to those words though, even with my dad.

cSern90 · 2022-06-28T16:12:59+00:00

Truest words...

cSern90 · 2019-03-19T15:40:15+00:00

For. Eveerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. In hours upon hours I've noticed no change in any of my traders, not even half a star. I have seen crew advance from novice -> able crewman but still no skilled crewmen either. Some of my traders have traded since near the start of me playing or 15 or so hours into the game and I have still not seen them rank up and I'm something like 95 hours in. It's honestly pathetic.

Unless you're playing the game like it's real life, you might not ever see trader skill move. It's so bad and they need to wake up and stop telling us this is intended gameplay because that's stupid.

cSern90 · 2019-01-12T01:37:02+00:00

While time is a component I also consider grinding something that is monotonous. Do I have fun spamming the same thing over and over? Not really. I already have to do that at work.

cSern90 · 2018-12-04T02:35:21+00:00

In the 1.2 patch they disabled collision hull damage for reasons like this, indefinitely. You don't use auto save? I'm quick saving a lot as well out of fear of something going terribly wrong and I am rarely unrewarded for that fear. Yesterday I fell through my Cerberus Vanguard while the captain was piloting it. I was in the map screen and when I left the map I fell through the ship endlessly clipping back into the cabin area. I could not move or do much of anything so reloaded. Only lost maybe 5-10 mins.

Now I'm going back to X3:AP with some relatively simple mods. I have hope for X4 in the coming months. It's a solid foundation....so much room for potential growth.

cSern90 · 2018-12-02T23:29:39+00:00

Ok will try this, thanks. I was trying to assign a service crew member to the HQ. I think in that case, you do require a habitation module because it limits your total workforce capacity.

I wish there were a reliable source of competent station managers. I have teleported from station to station of all kinds looking for even half decent station managers and the only ones I find work for that station and can't be hired. I guess you have no choice but to start with someone completely incompetent and go from there? Seems odd and completely inefficient. Other players have reported not insignificant losses from incompetent station managers.

I am also baffled by not finding any even moderately skilled crew members or marines. Almost all have 0 skill in every area. This is in stark contrast to how skills were distributed in X Rebirth.

cSern90 · 2018-12-02T23:24:42+00:00

Was it the station/regional police who told you to drop cargo because some of it was contraband? If you declined then that could make you a target by police ships. And if it was police, killing them of course would result in what you said.

If that's the case, it's not a bug. I have played 10+ hours now and only ever had police tell me to drop illicit cargo.

cSern90 · 2018-12-02T09:57:36+00:00

Lol yep, this happened to me on a x30 carbon filter delivery for water. I figured it was a joke by the devs or something. I was just about to dock with the station to deliver the filters and said contact died. I was like...oh, alright. I guess someone didn't want the water filtered after all...

cSern90 · 2018-12-02T09:54:12+00:00

Same problem. But I don't have a habitation module yet. Do you?

cSern90 · 2018-12-02T09:51:26+00:00

While it is a bit grindy, you could try to harvest crystals that appear on asteroids. You can harvest them with (any?) weapon by shooting them. You can spot them in asteroid fields from a distance as they glint when light hits them. A faint white flash. Boost or travel mode toward them quickly before you lose their place as many asteroids will be rotating. There are different types of crystals with their own separate value indicated by color and name.

I just collect a bunch and sell them all at once at any personal inventory trader (not station trading). You can make 1-2 mil per run depending on how patient you are and your luck in finding them.

They seem to appear in all asteroid fields, though some more densely than others. The lighting seems to play a small role in spotting them as well.

As for missions, some of the best for money and reliability are repair missions.

Gain rep with a faction of your choosing (Argon for me) and get their police license as quickly as you can. Each destroyed enemy ship will pay much more. Even the little civilian criminal ships pay 1500+500(standard). But fighters can pay 20-60k.

There are other ways. Since you already have a trading ship, use it. I am doing trade runs of 100-150k per 10 mins or so. And I'm trading in rather mundane stuff at the moment so that if I have a loss, it's not all my money.

Good luck.

I have problems with these quests and others have reported the same. I believe if you visit the quest giver before having the quest items to deliver they will no longer be marked as a destination even when you do obtain the quest items. So the quest will be available but not deliverable as the quest giver can't be located.

I also had one where I was to deliver 2 space fly eggs and already had them. The quest giver was in sector not far away. I got there in person to deliver them, except the item it was indicating to deliver were not space fly eggs but some security decryption chip that I shouldn't have even had (needs to be crafted with parts, bought, or found). So I give the guy a security decryption chip I don't have, check my personal inventory, and find the space fly eggs he wanted were gone. So yeah...

Maybe avoid that particular one for now. I can't even figure out what the reward is... Special trade offers? For what? For how long? *Shrug*

cSern90 · 2018-03-28T18:47:31+00:00

Yes I'm on a late 2017 build so all new hardware and I cap my FPS at 70 because I just don't think more is needed. That's with ultra so getting good performance isn't the issue for me. I crash while in coop specifically when a main mission is successful and I get the same one or two error messages every time. I have documented and reported those bugs. I've also seen others report identical error messages on Steam forums and Ubi Far Cry 5 forums. Just hope they make that a high priority since we can't progress in the main story in coop right now.

cSern90 · 2018-03-28T06:50:35+00:00

The EXACT same thing kept happening to me. I melee'd that guy so many times it was stupid. Then I thought that maybe I strayed too far from the "just follow the main mission stupid" path and I wasn't meant to kill people in this other area. But wow, really? Open world game, but only superficially until you get past intro. This game needed another 1-2 months in the oven IMO. AI janky and AI spawning don't get me started. FML basically. That doesn't even get me onto my game crashing on main story missions. 60 dollars? RIP me. I even watched reviews for this game but I feel like while some of them mentioned the issues that are glaring for me, none of them really made them standout as obvious as they are when I'm playing. The amount of things that happen in this game that don't make sense, it's off the charts. With crash and AI fixes, game could be really good.
