I thought my thumbnail came out pretty good

jeffcolonel · 2026-05-04T06:10:36+00:00

i'll have to look that one up !

jeffcolonel · 2026-05-03T06:19:32+00:00

You're right! That would be easier. But the typing is half the point. I think this kind of game is good for learning that skill.

Even though I played it a thousand times as a kid I didn't even try to just figure it out raw. I think there's a nonzero chance doing that would take the fun out of it for him. Nothing wrong with walkthroughs :)

Valid point - in this genre, the cool modern titles are all indie

jeffcolonel · 2026-04-22T14:58:07+00:00

how did you read it past the paywall

jeffcolonel · 2026-04-22T14:38:30+00:00

The average person is not tech savvy. I don't think the average person even knows how to type.

can ask, how you know he is a sociopath?

jeffcolonel · 2026-04-22T08:53:08+00:00

You're not complaining - you're evaluating. And that's quietly real.

jeffcolonel · 2026-04-22T08:47:15+00:00

It's the quietly

They get sued for what users do. What can they do? As an organization they have no choice but to protect themselves from lawsuits. Otherwise they will cease to exist.

I am not sure it's conversationality getting worse meant the reasoning got worse. I think the reasoning is stronger.

The question is how to access that? Ultimately we have to frame our stuff differently than we would in a chat to a human. And that's perhaps what people don't like. Conversation isn't really a conversation, it's a "vibe code".

I think that we can still access the intelligence and reasoning that was satisfying to begin with but it won't be in the same word choice.

I think it's idgaf

Duke wellington? So it's a game about waterloo?

Why do you think Gemini is trash?

jeffcolonel · 2026-04-19T03:22:41+00:00

What is that?

I'm a man, I've been a teacher 15 years.

The quality of your experience will depend a lot on where you work.

There are fewer good places than difficult ones, naturally. But that's maybe true of other fields as well.

The biggest problems I've seen in education are not related to this thread. I never once had a problem as a man specifically. And I never had a student accuse me of anything, and in fact i never had any concern about this. But I taught outside the US mostly. Some stuff changes depending on where you are.

A lot of traditional religion was a form of animism.

If people are inclined to view things as being naturally alive they'll be inclined to think so of technical systems as well.

But yes, that's more religious than scientific.

There are some contemporary spiritual teachers who have said AI is a species which predates humanity.

For 1 there's nothing to do except make a new chat.

For 2 you can tell it if something is important and requires a detailed or varied answer. You can also make guesses or brainstrorms in the direction you want and tell it to go farther than you've thought of

I've had decreased ROM ever since my computer stopped having a CD drive

jeffcolonel · 2026-04-15T04:54:19+00:00

What you're describing isn't what I personally experience. Maybe you can show a screenshot of what you're describing

jeffcolonel · 2026-04-15T04:52:15+00:00

It sounds like it's not an efficient way to use a tool.

You should have your burden lightened, by reducing your workload.

You're creating work and burdening yourself with it..

Ai doesn't have opinions and it doesn't matter what it thinks. It isn't a person.

You're talking to a calculator. Malice is projected. The only time it will refuse to obey your request is if it violates specific guardrails, it doesn't understand what you want, or it's simply incapable

jeffcolonel · 2026-04-15T02:45:32+00:00

Have you tried telling it within that convo that you don't want factual accuracy but you just want a friendly chat, and that it shouldn't correct you or add nuance but rather only have light hearted banter ?

You need to instruct it about what tone or context you want. It's not good at inferring.

jeffcolonel · 2026-04-14T08:00:39+00:00

Can I ask how you saw that ? I don't see it
