True, the first third had some mystery to it. The rest was kind of mediocre as far as sci-fi goes.

> We should instead restrict the franchise by exam to provably non-ignorant, non-evil critical thinkers so that we get representatives who are non-sociopaths that we can respect.

How do we prove non-evil?

Also the exam part brings to mind the Chinese imperial exams for civil service.

I don't know whether that's good or bad, it didn't work out well for them.

they came up with that phrase to put the british at ease

They're never going to be far enough in the lead, they had a first mover advantage a couple years ago but the gap is never going to be that large again.

Once a major player just decides "ok we're going ads for free users" the rest of the industry will follow and have an easier time doing so.

I think if they wanted to do this they should have just taken the flack, free users of the product are a drain and they can't cave to them. Eventually free users will "get over it" and if OpenAI opens the ads flood-gate then all the other free-to-use LLMs will be ads based as well and non-paying users won't have an ads-free place to go.

> I’m not a big Thunberg fan either but I cannot replicate the thought process that would lead to mentioning her as a potential Antichrist prototype. And that wasn’t even the weirdest thing, just the easiest to explain.

I know he doesn't like Greta, I don't either.

But I didn't see his lecture, he theorizes that she may be the antichrist? lol

> The key is really this - all LLMs that I know of rely on entropy and randomness to emulate human creativity. This works pretty well for pretty pictures and creating fan fiction or emulating someone's voice.

I think you need to turn down the temperature a little bit. This could be a beneficial change.

Neat!

I like the concept, cool that everything is just one page

I'm also a hobbyist gamedev that struggles with the art side. Can I ask what AI tools you've been using most?

I don't think it's just that.

- Amazon's back-loaded vesting costs them top talent.

- Amazon's pip culture is notorious. When Amazon managers get hired at other companies people immediately consider it a turning point for the company turning to crap.

- Commuting is a killer for a lot of people. You either live somewhere expensive and have a short commute, or live somewhere less desirable but have a longer commute.

Is GDScript really less efficient than C# in Godot?

What bottlenecks are you experiencing?

I'm a developer experienced with Python (GDScript-like) and C#, but am new to Godot and started with GDScript.

I started consuming Beet Chews recently. I'm not convinced of it though.

I think it's just one of those things where I see a YouTube video and go to Amazon to add a new supplement to my life. Then once the supply of the supplement is up I choose not to re-up on it. That's what I'm planning for the Beet Chews too.

I wonder really how much it really lowers BP and what quantity to consume?

The linked article doesn't specify how much was consumed? A single cup? A liter? Likewise I'm just consuming 2 Beet Chews per day per the suggested serving size. But who knows if that really is the "minimum effective dose". There is value to the placebo effect of course, I'm taking something in order to convince myself I'm healthier.

Mavis Beacon disagrees!

nice, anyone who provides links with their recs is top-notch!

Nice!

Did you read the rest of the Sprawl Trilogy too? What do you think of the other books?

This.

Character.ai reached out to me for an opportunity, but they've already been carved up.

I think it's great that the rank and file got some of their equity cash-out (based on the other comment), but I imagine it isn't an attractive prospect as a start-up to join at this point.

I just ignored the recruiter. I can't imagine their would be a second liquidity event.
