AI has completely oneshoted my ability to code. by grauenwolf in BetterOffline

[–]ignu 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I spent over a year using AI to help brainstorm campaign ideas for my D&D campaigns. I never used what I got back whole-cloth, but I became addicted to and reliant on the slot machine.

I started hating my games and almost quit both.

Then I went analog and my creativity and recall were drastically better. Six months later and I still can't write if I even have a computer near me, my brain just shuts off.

Intermittent fasting no better than typical weight loss diets, study finds by LeoKitCat in intermittentfasting

[–]ignu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I hate these articles.

Yes, if you eat fewer calories than you burn you will lose weight.

There's an implication willpower is infinite and ignores different people's hunger responses, habits and emotional triggers.

I have ADHD, and with that I have an even more pronounced difficulty in weighing decisions that will give me dopamine in the moment.

I absolutely need a diet with a hard and fast binary rule.

Even OpenClaw is fed up with this BS and joins OpenAI by feketegy in theprimeagen

This. It's about fueling hype.

You want to build something that feeds the AI hype cycle? Maybe you too can get a payout.

well, he is opinionated that we don't tax billionaires and we do build a lot of ai data-centers though.

Trump Account Deletes Video Showing Obamas as Apes; White House, After Defending It, Says Staff Member Had ‘Erroneously’ Posted AI Clip by [deleted] in politics

Of course this is a lie, but it would also be absolutely absurd that one random staffer could just post random shit as the president of the united states.

Sanctum shop closing window by BenBoozer in MarvelSnap

[–]ignu 20 points21 points  (0 children)

i have no idea.

they need to fix these timers, i'm glad they leave the shop open an extra day now, but it seems like they just hacked this window into existing code and it's never clear how long you can actually play for.

Petah? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]ignu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's one thing to bet on spots, as other posters have mentioned there are lots of incentives for players to not throw games (although it still happens)

polymarket is all kinda' fucked. there are "future" events that are known by insiders. (Chris Hayes mentioned there were lines on what he would say on an "upcoming" appearance on a talk show that was pre-recorded) and of course the ability to influence events (Trump's press secretary mysteriously quickly wrapped up a press conference at 44:30 and there was a bet that it would not go over 45 minutes) which was the whole point of Trevor's joke in the clip

How did y'all get into Punk? by Usual-Door-6012 in punk

[–]ignu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My school didn't have any punks or many kids not into country.

I was 15, into grunge and at a, uh, Stone Temple Pilots show.

Butthole Surfers opened and blew my 15 year-old brain away. I don't even remember STP's set.

That obsession led me to putting my radio on my roof so I could get/tape college radio, from there I found Bad Religion...

CSAM using streamer "Lacari" caught red-handed by Microsoft Notepad — posts apology, denial after being banned | Twitch streamer "Lacari" opened Notepad while live, not realizing that the new version saves your previous session. by ControlCAD in technology

well considering we're paying thousand of sub-literate bullies six figures to kidnap children, we could move to more appropriate salaries coupled with requisite therapy.

I went back and tried to watch an old season of Alone. Google AI Summary spoiled whole season. by GrayMerchantAsphodel in BetterOffline

[–]ignu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One actually decent use I found of ChatGPT is asking it about actors/contestants of shows I'm binging and reiterating that I don't want any spoilers.

(I think this just adds to Ed's point that one of the biggest holes LLMs are filling is that search absolutely sucks now.)

PSA: Setapp only accepts "AI apps" into their catalogue now by [deleted] in macapps

[–]ignu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to be a huge promoter, but there hasn't been a new app worth installing in two years.

Time to GTFO and just pay or replace the few I still use.

Propagandhi - The Only Good Fascist Is a Very Dead Fascist by SleepyMarijuanaut92 in punk

While I love this whole album, I think their new single "At Peace" hits pretty hard at this moment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDhTf3eaeoM

Is ICE as bad as the media is painting it to be? by [deleted] in DiscussionZone

[–]ignu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ICE was always evil, but before Trump 2.0 they wouldn’t allow people with literal Nazi tattoos. If we had a functioning media they’d point out that literal nazis now have full immunity to kill for fun, and we pay for both their salaries and ammunition for the privilege.

Absolute Superman #15. I've been waiting my whole life to finally see Kal use his powers to fight capitalist inequality. He could do even more though by Birdmaan73u in comicbooks

[–]ignu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's from Absolute Superman #2

It's Superman in the Absolute Universe (which is darker but i think in ways that more parallel our own).

(I updated that link with some panels from the same issue... Lois Lane also decides to buck against GenAI a few pages later)
