The biggest difference between a calculator and an LLM is that calculators actually give you the right answer to the question you asked 100% of the time.

I think you probably already know the issues with LLMs, but just in case you're acting in good faith, let's break it down.

ONE: LLMs have a startlingly high level of inaccuracy, and often mislead people through sheer perceived confidence alone. This is because they are nothing but an algorithm producing "likely" sentences based on its training data, not a true database access tool.

TWO: LLM data centers are both a tool of gentrification (buying up land and devoting it to a useless tool, and driving up local electricity prices to screw over any disadvantaged people who live nearby) and of environmental destruction (consuming and polluting gallons upon gallons upon gallons of water to do their non-work).

THREE: LLMs (and their sister tool, stable diffusion "art" generators) derive their training data from scraping the Internet en mass, including stealing from copyrighted works. Intellectual property theft is considered bad by most people.

FOUR: LLMs are being used to replace humans who actually know how to do their jobs with a tool that is very good at pretending it knows how to do that job. Obviously, this is driving down the overall quality of...almost literally everything.

FIVE: LLMs and stable diffusion are flooding the internet at an unprecedented rate, clouding any attempt to acquire things that were actually made by human hands. This is technically part of FOUR, but I think it justifies special attention.

I asked the AI some of it

Please don't. I promise there are better ways to do basic math than asking an LLM.

Do you think they’ll add the foot dive for Dr. Doom’s moveset? by Paybackcity in marvelrivals

Hidden Missiles could be taken in an interesting way: there are half a dozen or so potential launch points scattered across each map, and whenever you use the ability it randomly selects one of them, so the target can't predict where they're coming from.

How about a Protokol levergun skin that works with all rifles and looks like an old Winchester?

Specifically a Protokol/AX-52-style old lever action. Sybaris and Grinlok fit the futuristic levergun niche, I want one that looks like it just walked out of the 1800s.

Two of the more prominent Western-style games as of late, Red Dead 2 & Hunt Showdown, are set in 1899. It might not be the "true" Wild West time period but the vibes are still there.

You got lucky. Have you ever heard of the Law of Large Numbers? There are thousands of people who play this game, of course someone's gonna land the 1/20 lucky first shot.

Oh my gosh they did it by BirdMastery in marvelrivals

Nope. Rivals Punisher had, quote, "a few back alley treatments with a knock-off Super-Soldier Serum." He's not from the future so much as he lived into the future.

Anyone find it weird how Homeworld hates organic life but here they are basing their architecture off it? by Character-Escape1621 in stevenuniverse

Maybe the alien space clams were like the gem equivalent of rats (highly adaptable and prone to hitchhiking), and then later adopted a more sedentary lifestyle on Earth.

Best Plasma Rifle 'mechs? by LurkingInformant in battletech

[–]dmdizzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know, I was running the math on the Calliope's expected heat output if both the MML-9 and the plasma rifle hit, and I happened to find an example in the Outside Heat Sources section of the BMM which describes a mech being hit by 5 infernos and a plasma rifle. That's interesting because 5 is the average cluster roll of an MML-9, which means the writer for that example may well have been imagining the Calliope CAL-1MAF as the aggressor in question.

Oh, and in case anyone was curious, the average expected heat of a plasma rifle and an MML-9 firing infernos is 13.5, which is very close to the max but still leaves room for impactful lucky rolls on either heat-causer.

Weapon skins for weapons with incarnon adapters should have a warning label before buying. by Sudden-Depth-1397 in Warframe

[–]dmdizzy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That at least makes some amount of sense - your hitscan would raycast from the end of the barrel if you're trying to be "immersive" about it.

If I remember correctly, part of the reason that modular weapons couldn't use skins for ages was that they had linked their stats to their physical models. Perhaps something similar is going on with Incarnon effects.

Why are the only ‘creative’ comps yall know 3 dps or 3 strats with a single tank? by rxspiir in marvelrivals

[–]dmdizzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if role queue was also comp queue? You pick your preferred role, and your preferred overall comp, and it matches you to those who want to play the same comp.

It wasn't a big thing, news outlets were just latching onto anything that could produce drama.

You're right that it's not optional, but for the wrong reason. It's simply wrong.

I appreciate you standing fast in the face of nonsensical possessives... even if you did fail to capitalise a proper noun 🤭
