I noticed this kind of thing happening in a particular subreddit; there was a rule requiring all identifying info to be censored with the purpose of the sub not getting banned for brigading, but people disliked this and always tried to pass off censorship attempts that were as poor as they thought they could get away with.

It’s wildly unreasonable either way, but the specifics,

In the seemingly AI-edited version, the main character June (center in the image above) is depicted alone, but the image extends down to her ankles. She is depicted with a bikini bottom, impossibly large hips and thighs, and boots that rise up over her knees, seemingly invoking a harmful stereotype. This is extremely distinct from June’s actual depiction in the game

Seem like they do make it worse. People seeing this are going to assume the game publisher is guilty of false advertising and/or having really poor taste. If they had instead only adjusted the formatting or lighting of the ad or something it would have been less egregious.

Adblockers are not that difficult to install, so I’d guess the slice of people who really resent ads enough to actually make purchasing decisions out of spite but also who still watch them isn’t that big.

Merz criticized defenders of online anonymity, saying they are “often people who, from the shadows of anonymity, demand the greatest possible transparency from others.”

Dude is non-comprehending and very offended to hear it

There is no ‘safe’ level for endocrine disruptors that mimic our natural hormones.”

I think the article is probably right that headphones have these chemicals and it is a bad thing, but as someone wearing headphones a large portion of hours in the day for the past few decades I’m wondering how much risk there actually is, which it doesn’t seem to weigh in on very much.

I think the biggest issue is people are trying so hard to get you to think a certain way about politics, that having an actually good and proportional understanding of what is going on and what the real options are, and expressing that effectively, is somewhere between very difficult and impossible. Of course everything is enmeshed with politics, and you might care about that, but if you also know that you are not immune to being manipulated it might be a reason to think engaging in overtly political discourse won’t be useful or good for you.

Yeah I like it

If they have to put in all this effort to port their mods to Microsoft’s new code, what about also porting them to an open source alternative

Maybe if my handwriting was that nice I would feel less embarrassed to leave petty insult letters

The headline says “roguelite”, the Berlin Interpretation is safe for now

Are you a programmer? My general experience as a programmer has been that being judicious in what you spend time and energy thinking about is one of the most important things to do. The amount of languages, frameworks, and libraries all with their own syntax, documentation and quirks vastly exceeds the capacity of any one person to durably memorize, and there are compelling reasons to want to use a wide range of them on an infrequent basis and not specialize. Strategies to avoid getting lost in the weeds and find shorter paths to your actual goals were important before LLMs and they are now even more important.

Also, personally, my memory sucks, not everyone is dealing with the same constraints and because of that there is no single right approach.

Godot is also weighing the possibility of moving the project to another platform where there might be less incentive for users to “farm” legitimacy as a software developer with AI-generated code contributions. But moving to a less popular platform could run the risk of alienating legitimate contributors.

I feel like this is what people do with the multiplayer games where they are allowed to be mean to each other

I for one would really prefer not to spend brain space on things like Excel scripting syntax. I haven’t actually tried current frontier models but every LLM I’ve used isn’t good enough to actually get good results vibe coding without applying some of your own programming knowledge, so I think you’d still want to learn regardless.

it is that much that it was impossible for me to check every package but everything has been scanned for viruses

Seems legit

Can sometimes help to edit your previous message with additional instructions and regenerating rather than responding to ask for a correction. Also copy pasting documentation and code examples with syntax that is real into the prompt. Might also try something other than ChatGPT since OpenAI sucks in general.

The whole idea of software services where the output is not a function of the input, but rather a function of the input plus all the data the service has been able to harvest about you has always been awful. It was awful when google started doing it years ago and it’s awful when LLM frontends do it now. You should be able to know that what you are seeing is what others would see, and have some assurance that you aren’t being manipulated on a personal level.

Reddit has shown through its actions that it’s more interested in banning real users than bots, and wants to protect bots from being identified and called out by users, so it’s not that surprising they’ve been able to do this.

If everyone switches to disparately hosted Discord alternatives, maybe they will think twice about passing such laws because they will be impractical to enforce. I think the biggest reason they are getting passed now rather than ten years ago is because it has become somewhat technically feasible with the level of centralization the internet has devolved into, they can actually expect that people will put up with it rather than just leaving the platforms that comply.

What if you actually can ctrl-z irl, but your memory also gets undone so you can’t know for sure
