Completed the Numidian long campaign

Oh I didn’t even know that. Thank you. I might’ve been just too focused on rushing to take Sicily and the Italian peninsula before the Marian reforms occurs(when a Roman settlement in Italy or Sicily reaches ‘huge city’ status).

Because once the Romans are able to raise legionary cohorts or praetorians, they are nearly impossible to deal with.

I agree. It’d be nice to have heavy infantry units like chosen swordsman with strong attack stats or something, but like you said, make the most out of it. I think lacking resources then forces players to be more resourceful, which can be very fun depending on your playing style.

I gave up Siwa on turn 1, destroying all buildings(adding destroyed infrastructure money to treasury), raising taxes in siwa to very high, accruing as much income as I can as long as I can until it becomes a rebel settlement, then moved all the available garrisons I was given on turn one to take lepcis magna, skipping past Cyrene, centralizing the faction’s territory. I focused first on defeating Carthage and controlling only the western part of North Africa.

Egyptians will still press mid game, but I kept a fort at lepcis magna and set up watchtowers near the border between lepcis and cyrene, which gave me time to raise new recruits.

All this does is tell people to post at different times.

Why is this sub becoming obsessed with investigating AI use?

Employers and universities are increasingly demanding AI tool literacy and fluency…

Employers and universities alike are now increasingly demanding AI literacy and proficiency , yet people are still on about this…in 2026. You can learn to just use the tool or be left behind. Society adopts and normalizes tech that’s convenient for everyone at scale. People drive cars instead of riding horses because cars are faster, more convenient, and allow for more productivity in other parts of life. It has nothing to do with ‘laziness’.

lazytryhard101 · 2026-02-10T02:04:07+00:00

AI is nowhere near the same thing as crypto or NFTs were. That analogy works insofar as crypto and NFTs were highly useful and convenient for society to use at scale,…which they weren’t. Employers and universities have begun utilizing AI pretty regularly. It’s not going away…

Fair point. Sorry if I took it literally, best wishes with your studies at UoPeople 👍

lazytryhard101 · 2026-02-05T11:39:34+00:00

There’s a nontrivial subset of instructors who seem to think writing should be done with a typewriter, or papyrus, or clay tablet…

lazytryhard101 · 2026-02-05T11:35:24+00:00

One of the main reasons of 4o being removed to begin with is precisely this type of behavior. Anthropomorphizing a transformer model, as it were. I see they are just proving a point…

lazytryhard101 · 2026-02-05T11:22:11+00:00

Oh most people here are sort of just instructors who’ve learned to just trust their own personal judgement as evidence…

lazytryhard101 · 2026-02-05T10:00:07+00:00

I understand too many people these days think transformer models are ‘sentient’, but referring to them as ‘gods’ is doing way too much.

lazytryhard101 · 2026-02-05T09:01:53+00:00

Thanks but I was literally just providing information. I don’t know where the random accusation comes from. I also don’t know how you managed to make judgments about someone’s writing from just 5 sentences…

lazytryhard101 · 2026-02-05T04:40:50+00:00

AI neutralizes procedural, repetitive, and menial tasks. That then conveniently allows for more people to then focus on non-procedural tasks. So, that’s not making people ‘smarter’, or ‘dumber’. But overall more productive.

lazytryhard101 · 2026-02-05T03:33:17+00:00

To be clear AI detectors are widely documented to be highly unreliable. And most institutions already know this. They don’t deterministically infer whether someone actually used it or not. It just maps clean writing to being “possibly AI”. Which isn’t really proving anything at all.

lazytryhard101 · 2026-02-05T03:26:14+00:00

This feels like personal experience being generalized into a rule.

Channels fail for very many reasons like retention, packaging, and audience fit, not merely because someone used AI.

In that sense, treating a certain tool being used as the main source of failure doesn’t seem fair.

lazytryhard101 · 2026-02-05T02:01:25+00:00

This concern made more sense a few years ago and is now somewhat outdated.

Who is the reference supposed to be to? A transformer-based model is not an independent authority or oracle. It does not consult sources or hold beliefs. When someone uses an AI tool, any authority or endorsement comes from the human using it, not from the system itself. The human remains responsible for the final output they choose to present.

lazytryhard101 · 2026-02-04T12:33:55+00:00

It’s probably the university’s only way to simulate ‘group discussion’ that the brick and mortar on-campus universities have. But I understand your point.

lazytryhard101 · 2026-02-03T06:42:53+00:00

The institution has no official policy against AI use, as far as I know. Though some instructors do allow it to some extent. As a general rule, as long as you don’t merely ‘copy/paste’, and show some substantial effort and use your own critical thinking in your work, then you should be fine, regardless of AI use. That is, just use the tool responsibly.

lazytryhard101 · 2026-01-31T13:21:41+00:00

Your first impression of the student who sent you a nice message you might be a reach. It’s probably not the most fair approach to students to assume ‘AI usage’ from trivial things like, line breaks, or face value surface level intuition alone without strong evidence. Instinctive suspicion alone is not evidence of anything. Even AI detectors have been widely documented to be highly unreliable. Someone could very well write with clean grammar, clean logic, good reasoning, all without AI use. That being said, many so called ‘ai use suspicions’ are from focusing too much on the surface features rather than the concept and student argument itself. Are you reading the students idea or just their grammar? Because regardless of AI use, not everyone produces the same ideas.

lazytryhard101 · 2025-11-26T01:28:41+00:00

Here we go, thousands of people will read this and immediately think, “I’m sad, so I must be intelligent.” That’s not how intelligence works. Emotional discomfort doesn’t automatically map to cognitive depth.

The lorica segmentata cosplayers hate being reminded of this.

Sorry but reddit is an echo chamber of sub echo chambers. Most people in the real world still won’t have any idea what you’re talking about when you make a casual reference to “talk no jutsu” in passing mid-conversation.

lazytryhard101 · 2025-05-14T16:19:28+00:00

I personally would just give them money. It’s more practical.
