with better being more convincing, rather than just stronger

its the same for like a chess bot. i dont want a perfect stockfish that occasionally makes a serious blunder when a dice rolls a certain way. i want one that actually falls into traps

i think it can work for procedurally generated situations, and the llm is acting more like a translator between data model and player rather than being a data storage layer.

thats close to tweaking existing dialog, but with a bit more freedom.

you still dont have to give the player arbitrary response

i think hooking in an llm to dwarf fortress for turning the very mechanistic descriptions into prose. same with the adventure mode talk. instead of a constant "well weve got beasts" an llm could read a bunch of the language tree to make a unique introduction for each.

same with the df artworks. get kitfox to design some art styles for dwarves, elves, goblins, and humans, and then instead of just reading

"this is a fine engraving of a dwarf. it concerns the events of 102 when ulrist fastbuttons was elected mayor. ulrist fastbuttons is sobbing"

i think its more of an effect of factorio's hidden information.

youre not really sure how to set up some of the logistics/how much of what you will need where ahead of time

it is enforceable, just the wrong rule.

the rule is ultimately "dont submit stuff where only your llm session knows whats going on"

if you brainstorm with an llm, then rewrite the llm prose but have no understanding, youve still broken the rule.

if you understand what it suggested, why, and so on, then you do know whats up, and thats unenforceable, but who cares

i think its probably asking people to not submit things they dont understand themselves.

if you want to submit an LLM found bug, you could instead donate the tokens directly to the maintainers, rather than making them read your agent outputs

it looks like a lot of the functionality of old reddit for seeing not-ad-decided sort orders is going away, so the whole old reddit will probably be gone by the end of the year

i think its more of a face saving lie that mcmorrow dropped out over the twitter poll.

she ruined her campaign by trying to make it about hasan piker, who wasnt running, and a good portion of the people she needed as supporters kinda like piker on at least a surface check of what he has to say.

i think more what happened is all her donors were already out, and they just pointed at that poll. its not like it was a unique poll.

pointing at the fake poll gets her(and her consultants) some cover for having made bad campaign choices

i dont know if this would really count as fraud in that case either - its not like they lied about the results of the primary or anything, just influenced it by convincing people to vote a certain way or drop out.

i think this is more like putting out fake weather reports than fake corn harvest reports.

looks like after his main party dissolved, he was running as a member of the republican party?

this still seems like the republican party trying to do some election fraud against themselves?
