  • So far i didn’t even manage to get into this game once since release, so i hear you :-) But that was mostly issued on the whole procedural-generation-thing. To me it’s just incredibly boring the moment I figured out the puzzle-pieces. But that’s subjective and wouldn’t affect my rating of this game.





  • I didn’t say the don’t work. They’re just mainly useless. For coding? Nice for quick prototyping, seeking alternate approaches or such. Real code? Rarely working and in the end you spend more time fixing stuff than it initially saved.

    For everyday research? It’s helpful sometimes, but mostly plain wrong. That one sure isn’t inherent of LLM but the data it feeds on.

    For what it’s great is translations, summarizing stuff or a nicer web search. And my own locally run for the smart home. For that it’s a blast. Like “close gate, open front door, turn on all lights at 50% in a lush shade of green, and turn on the coffee machine”. Absolutely awesome.

    But paying for that? And even like 30 moneyz? No way. Don’t get me wrong, I fucking love all tech and LLMs are kinda a dream coming true. But it’s still not really there. My last session with Claude ended in the “AI” giving up and asking ME how I solved it. Only to then admit my answer would be useless as it is forgotten anyway after that chat 😁

    I have no political agenda and surely don’t lack experience. I don’t even see LLM as an enemy. I wish it was actually intelligent and really helpful/timesaving more than 50% of the time.

    Not questioning generative powers for video or image or sound. They’re awesome there and totally timesaving and extremely helpful.

    And I’d also argue that the “average person” to whom it is very helpful is easy to please with any answer to their everyday questions. Especially if presented in the usual asslicking way based on total and absolute confidence.




  • Nothing is ever perfect, but would you have preferred they did nothing, ran with the money and pissed on you? Now they just managed to disappoint you more than once. Many others seem to be happy now. For free. While the vast majority of other companies wouldn’t even bother SELLING you updates. Sure, they didn’t manage to appease 100% of customers, but they really tried to make up for it. That should count for something, shouldn’t it?





  • Oh, no actual one. Just this Utopian place in my vision where people are nice to each other and everyone is cared for and unproductive shit like this.

    Nations are all way too complex to assess them for me, not actually living there. But I would pick the Netherlands or Denmark/Norway/Iceland if I had to choose.
