Somehow it seems to fill my head with ideas—only I don't exactly know what they are!

On this day 200 years ago Goku saved the Native Americans from the Red Ribbon Army. They asked what they could do in return. Goku said "Im hungry", and thus the first Thanksgiving was had.

Pretty funny how the standard controller option is a lot more versatile than the mouse and keyboard option for Prime 3 via PrimeHack. I was all set up for m+kb but didn't have free aim that way.

I cannot stop laughing. This is so indicative of what's wrong with these AI people and how they view art
He ran into a wall where the "make art" button wasn't satisfying because it wasn't actually making good enough art, and instead of trying new things he just requests a stronger button

Handing back student work that’s been written by ChatGPT with a 0 followed by the comment “This essay will never stand in authentic wonder before the Beauty of God’s creation.”
Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

Finished Prime 2 for my first time.
This is a game that loves to waste your time, even more so than Prime 1. And it even somehow made the scavenger hunt in Prime 1 look fine in comparison.
At least the Light Suit looks good

i take frenzy damage every time i see someone go "well i just use it for the boring stuff". what are you TALKING about? if it's boring or unimportant, why are you putting it in? NPC dialogue is fertile ground for worldbuilding, creating verisimilitude, conveying important information, and hijinks!!
Buy a solo indie dev's game because I want to support them.
Find out it uses OpenAI to write "non-important NPC dialogue".

Now I heard there was a tiny box
Engraved with names like Minecraft Notch
And Brian Fargo and FourZeroTwo, yeah
But though it promised games for free
And mobile ports on your TV
It's a cold and it's a broken Founders' Ouya

why does Spin Jump/Screw Attack feel like ass to use in every game? is there just a specific rhythm or does Samus need to be doing something? I can only get it to work like 1/5 of the time in Echoes

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

This is also how I judge the History Channel. If it’s about a topic I know, I spot at least one lie per minute watching the History Channel, so it’s horrifying to think how many lies I’d be swallowing without knowing it if I watched about a topic I don’t know.
LLM search results are even worse.

Saw an interesting piece of advice recently: ask the AI search engines for an answer in a field in which you are very knowledgeable.
The results will make it clear just how much they get wrong, and how brazen they are about it.
Now, apply that to every subject in which you are NOT an expert.

Looked up “what mobile parking app do I need for <this town>” - AI summary on Google confidently gave me the wrong answer, which I ignored because **it is wrong a third of the time, about ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING** (according to the last study I read.)
The shit just doesn’t work.

Since Proton Mail uses LLM/genAI garbage, what's another email service I could use when I finally decide to separate myself from Google?

Indie devs should just start slapping a big banner or something on their Steam page, etc. that says “this game was made by humans and absolutely no AI tools were used.”
I genuinely think it will pay off more and more.
