I really want to use AI like llama, ChatGTP, midjourney etc. for something productive. But over the last year the only thing I found use for it was to propose places to go as a family on our Hokaido Japan journey. There were great proposals for places to go....
I’m a bit disappointed to the practical uses, but I still get some value out of AI. I sometimes use chatgpt to tweak existing SQL scripts at work, and as a trouble shooting assistant. Also I use this tool ultimate vocal remover to extract stems from songs, mainly to make myself instrumentals to practice singing over. Those are really only things I do regularly, despite trying different self hosted AI tools. Most are cool but not very useful.
I have been thinking about the Cerveza Crista edit of Star Wars: A New Hope that sporadically splices in beer ads and the Toy Story 3 edit alternate ending where they fall into the incinerator and it made me wonder if people have come across these kind of joke versions, in full, in the wild....
Not the movie itself, but once I downloaded 28 days later, and found Finnish subtitle for it cause at the time I still needed those. In the subtitles word “fuck” was translated to “hole bread” in Finnish. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RuisreikäleipäAlso at the end it said “Subtitles by your Dad”
Other time I downloaded Children Of Bodom’s Blooddrunk before release and got Bullet For My Valentine’s Scream Aim Fire instead with file names renamed as Bodom’s track names. IDK why but now I like both bands.
Oh damn, 28 weeks is far better movie IMO though. Scarier, and the concept of rebuilding after zombie outbreak and having another outbreak despite safety measures is much more interesting than traditional zombie story.
They won’t. Maybe they get rudimentary tasks done faster but their lack of understanding of what they are doing is gonna cause problems in anything else.
Honesty as an aspiring indie dev myself, I wouldn’t mind you pirate my game BUT I just buy cheap indie games on sale without not being sure if I’m going to play them any time soon. Best case scenario I found new favorite game, worst case scenario, I just payed 8€ (-the expenses from the store) to some developer chasing their dream.
My wallet can take it and I like to support indie scene.

Veganism. Many people wilfully misunderstood all arguments why people choose to be vegans and come up with all kinds of strawman arguments and make believe scenarios that are totally beside the point.
I am usually rather reasonable with my carnist friends cause I believe calm respectful conversations are better to change people’s minds than heated debate.
People always say vegans push their agenda, and maybe some people specially on internet do, but more often it’s the other way around, it comes up that you are a vegan and someone just has to try debate it. I’m usually well prepared for those arguments cause I have done my research but it doesn’t matter cause they never listen.
No I don’t think I’m better person than you.
No my first goal as vegan is not to take issue with some native fisherman.
Yes, if I was stranded on deserted island hypothetically I might reconsider my principles.
Yes, you actually get everything you need from diet if you construct it right. There are people bigger than you who can lift more than you who are vegan.
It’s not some sacred pact written in stone. I never really slip from my diet, but I still got common sense if situation should change.
It just gets tiring, I don’t even bring it up that often to people.

You could use LLM like AI to go through vast amounts of combat data to make sense of it on the field and analyze data from mass surveillance. I doubt they need much more excuses.
Case could be made tech bros have overhyped the importance of AI to military industrial complex but it nevertheless has plenty of nasty uses.
How about reading exactly same content as ebook or printed one? Or printing a twitter thread to read it? I don’t think it is particularly useful to compare different types of reading.
I hate it but I’m constantly burned out from my my work so getting delivery is pay to win solution to “I’m hungry”. Funny thing is I’m actually good cook but just lazy. If I were to make something it would be better than usual takeout. I try to avoid it but still find myself doing it more often than I would like. Not daily tho.

Running FP4 myself, bought bit less than a year ago. If I can get it last significantly longer than phones usually do, I get another one. If not, I have to come up with something else.
No complaints so far but I do all the fancy stuff on PC so I don’t need much from my phone. Remains to be seen if it’s worth it.

Crysis remake is actually one of the few games I can’t run on max or very high settings with this rig, since it does not have FSR, and it has particularly heavy raytracing and is very NVIDIA optimized. Even cyberpunk is just fine on ultra RT, and Last of us, callisto protocol, dead space, all run maxed out.
So answer to “Can it run crysis” is “no it fucking can’t” :D
