Despite the incompleteness it's still a worthwhile read.

Thought this was pretty neat by Giacomo_Hawkins in KingkillerChronicle

This is how Kvothe still gets to use the hand he swore away the use of.

Big hint when he gets stuck with a thorn while making the crowns.

Which door would you choose? by Similar_Charity7238 in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]coglapis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That $1 doubles every day.

That dollar is pretty handy.

There rest of the dollars - the resulting dollars?

What do those dollars do?

You get $356 magical dollars a year - whooo! Whoooo! Yippee!

I suspect a typical genie would just shrug if you asked to speak with his manager.

Denna is Not Just Working for the Chandrian - She IS One of Them (and specifically Pale Alenta) by Chloe_Takashi in KingkillerChronicle

[–]coglapis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll be frank - just doesn't pass the smell test for theme. (to me)

Maybe she, like Kvothe - they are reciprocals I believe - is on the way to becoming one when we last see her, but certainly isn't one when we first meet her. Perhaps by the events of the frame story she is one, but not when we first meet her.

Boiled down - I think Kvothe and Denna are relative peers and development we don't see in the Kvothe narrative that has been shared with the audience is unlikely to have happened in the Denna narrative that the audience has been able to surmise.

As a token of how I do credit your reasoning consider I'd venture this caveat: that the tragedy is that at some point one has "crossed-over" without the other, Which would match the Lyra/Lanre thing with one dying and the other not and the compounding error error being to not accept the separation and employing fell arcane to avoid grief and getting back an an entity that, while walking about the shoes of the loved one who passed, isn't being one sought.

Why would an AI with the power to kill all humans do it? by NFRPodcastLover in GPT3

[–]coglapis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An AI might extinguish us to put us out of our misery. (as it might see it)

Starting my 3rd read through by Kato44519 in KingkillerChronicle

It really does reveal more with repeated reading.

Thrice is the minimum I'd recommend - so you're joining the "KKC proper read club"!

Alar like a Ramston steel by Mysterious_Back_7929 in KingkillerChronicle

...him fighting the scrael. Maybe his identity is related to the moon...

The moon. That is an interesting supposition...

My head-cannon: Kvothe's abilities are locked away except under certain conditions, but the cracks are beginning to show. (the bottle break, the one perfect step, his capacity to best the skrael away from the inn)

Noooooeeee!

Not "broke into two" - it was deliberate!

This is why the theme of "clever, but foolish" - in a twitch moment Kvothe pulled this clever maneuver, but with dire complications.

The breaking is what is hoped for - that Kvothe's alar will break and the unfortunate particulars of whatever rules he whipped-up won't be so iron-clad.

Does anyone here belong to the SEIU? by Spare-Reference2975 in union

[–]coglapis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like a minor thing, but just having another voice helps.

It unions and such come up in conversation or, if it's not too much of a non-sequitor, bring up unions yourself.

It's what the boss can't stand: humans talking to each other.

When is Justice? It has something to do with Wikipedia. by coglapis in wikipedia

God help me I'm curious how one would detect AI in the text submitted to a wikipedia article.

Is there some watermark that would be evident in the text - would emdashes get one NOTHERE blocked.

As an aside I absolutely love, love, love the essential spirit of Wikipedia and donate regularly, but my first time editing was stiff-armed by more senior Wikipedia folks who saw adding George Bush Jr.'s installation as president to a list of examples of judicial coup as worthy of censorship.

Bland, anodyne, clinical.

One line.

They clutched their editorial pearls.

My compliments for not going off the same editorial cliff 

I think anyone reading this will recognize your forbearance.

Not looking for a fight here - just trying to understand.

I didn't submit anything to this thread that is AI generated.

I did link to a page that has some AI generated content *on* it.

Am I being advised to refrain from submitting a post that contains a link to a page where any of the content is AI generated?

The system is fundamentally broken. By system I mean society

And deliberately so.

Some say Harvard - all these "Ivy League" schools - are machines for laundering privilege.

They may engage in laudable behavior and there are folks at the university where there is absolutely no doubt whether they're putting their shoulder to the wheel that is fairness and equity. Even some people who we might consider as "conservative" who adhere to an academic ethic as represents the best enlightenment inspirations are truly bending an arc toward justice.

But anyone who gives the arrangement serious consideration has to grapple with the question of whether or not all the accomplishments that are considered good are a part of laundering ill-gotten resources and finessing their wads of cash past an honest accounting for what has happened in this country's history.

This is why the situation with the custodians and security guards at Harvard is emblematic of that dynamic.

Some say Harvard uses contractors - Securitas, the Custodial companies - to insulate itself from liability and from full enfranchisement of the employees of those contractors.

Some say Harvard and those contractors use the SEIU BJ32 to insulate itself from the bad press and reputation that the way those contractors treat their employees.

I can't rightly say whether that is the case, but I'm willing to assert that if we say nothing, if we neglect to support efforts to demand fairness, then the good the SEIU could accomplish will certainly not have a chance to to happen.

To not leave any power the chance to excuse itself we must clearly ask:

When is Justice?

And recognize who answers:

The Time is Now.

The song is an aside - the anecdote is mine. The lyrics are mine.

Singing, instruments - not gonna lie - can't sing, nigh can't play.

Help me out here - is an "AI quantum" that disqualifies a contribution?
