It’s an LLM, so…

Has nothing to do with monopolies, having the market slowly condense into one mega company does not create competition and results in higher prices for the consumer.

2 things. 1, hallucination is a sensory perception of something. LLMs don't have senses. The term doesn't make sense when confabulation is literally lying right there. 2, ai bros really like their ai, and run interference when people find flaws in it. This includes derailing conversations with nit picking terminology. Yes i'm aware of the irony in my post.

It’s generally a fascist viewpoint to say that dissenters should consider leaving the country.

I rented it at blockbuster, loved it, bought it, and then played many hundreds of hours on it. I don’t know if I agree with your statement as written.

That said, I don’t know if I would even touch a RTS on a console these days. So maybe I agree in spirit.

part of Claude’s capability is reliant on its verbosity to push its responses into new vector spaces. If you instruct it to be terse, its capability is potentially reduced

Did Javid really say this

I raised my eyebrows at this statement, but I had forgotten that blog post where he griped about the UK becoming less white.

Okay that was always allowed

These had a lot of blood sweat and tears poured into them.

Most Hollywood game adaptations are the same as the Disney live actions. They have their hands on an IP, they want to flip it into easy money. Those turn out excruciatingly bad, because for an easy flip, you need to target for mass appeal, which waters down the material.

My Claude.md has one line that says to read agents.md, this is a bit of a nothingburger

You are not understanding how the market works. Rarity and value do not always correlate with demand. Otherwise I have some beanie babies to sell.

I mean really, all of my examples involve on-demand flame at a BTU higher than a torch, so I suppose the list doesn’t go on if you exclude things like charring eggplant for baba ganoush.

Induction is super awesome for maintaining temp. But one isn’t superior over the other in all cases. My point was purely, people need high BTU fire sometimes based off how they cook. I mean, you won’t see me cooking tagine, but surely someone in the world cooks tagine?

You absolutely cannot do the same thing with a cast iron, I promise.

Can’t (properly) cook a tortilla on an electric burner, though you can get subpar results in a pan

Can’t char a pepper on an electric burner

Can’t heat a nabe on an electric burner

Also during hurricane season, my gas burner still works when the power goes out.

The list goes on of things that electric simply cannot do. To claim one is superior over the other ignores a lot of the ways people cook. They are just simply different cooking tools.
