I’m waiting for desaturation glasses so these fucking whiners can’t even see colors just in case they might line up in something close to ROYGBIV.

You know, I’m really rooting for these people. They are like Mario 64 speed runners looking for the new speed butt jump glitch. One of them might actually find something worthwhile.

We should make these surprise visits more often. Maybe once a week. We could call it “accountability”.

This is an AI generated article and has no basis in reality.

Someone got the bodily fluids mixed up. That was supposed to be his Piss Of The Month subscription. Whoopsie.

I haven’t, but I got it out of a humble monthly bundle a while back, so I might try it. Most of what I read is that the combat gets stale, which can either come from over powered abilities or playing on too easy a difficulty. If I do try it, and there is a difficulty setting, I might go for a hard one just to keep it interesting. I have way too many games on my plate right now, though.

Did you just editorialize an editorial? There is grass outside, and it yearns to be touched.

This story is blowing so fucking far out of proportion it’s honestly incredible. Just so everyone is one the same page, here is a video timestamped to the voice, and immediately following the voice you can hear the voice from Her as well.

They are not similar other than they are both female.

The whole “her” thing that Altman threw up on twitter is just because the goddamned movie was a touchstone for the kind of thing that they are doing. They weren’t cloning the fucking voice. It’s like naming your new iguana Godzilla. It’s not going to destroy Tokyo any time soon, it’s just a cultural reference, you know, like a meme.

As far as Johansson goes, she is falling prey to this shit just like every other celebrity that has been railing against big bad AI. There are so many sheisty lawyers trying to get their hands on the first big win from an AI suit that they will say anything to get a celebrity to sue, because if their firm wins, they become the Anti-AI lawfirm that all others will seek in the future. They will print money, but only if something sticks, and so far, nothing has. This will be another case like any other, where they take it to court, and there is no real basis for anything, and it ends up being all over the news and then disappearing like the whole debacle over Sarah Silverman’s book. In three months there will be another case against AI, and again, nothing will stick, because the people putting the bug in people’s ears don’t understand how to use most of the functionality of their cellphone, let alone how generative AI works.

Just tell the judge that an AI wrote your post and you can walk away scot-free.

By all means, rattle off some references that will make sense in the context.

I can afford a $400 emergency, I’m just struggling to find an emergency that cheap…

I’m currently left-breathing and laying in bed postponing the inevitable. I feel you.

chemical_cutthroat, 3 days ago

Ahh, it’s a good thing you brought AI into this. I had almost gone a full minute without reading disparaging comments about it.

I tapered off vaping using the same method, and there is a clear difference in the feeling of a pull when you cut the nicotine down. Also, you can’t just “cut” the nicotine, you’d have to find some way to enhance the flavor of the diluted mix otherwise it will just get more bland. All of that being said, this is a valid strategy for kicking it. Just buy lower nicotine content bottles until you get down to 0% nic, and if your your experience is like mine, you just wake up one day and don’t reach for the vape on the nightstand.

I’ll trade you my top center and bottom left unidentifiable grey slop for your top right unidentifiable grey slop.

Probably could have used AI to rewrite that to make it easier to read.

What a sad state your country must be in to take weapons from fucking North Korea. That’s like getting a busted slingshot from the kid who eats his own boogers.

Really it should operate the same way that voting in France does. If I move to France and live there for 10 years, do I get to vote in elections? Do New Caledonians? I honestly don’t know 100%, but it looks like you have to live in France for 5 years and then apply for citizenship in order to vote (or be born in France, or marry someone who is a citizen, etc.) So, it seems like they should apply the same rules to New Caledonia. If New Caledonia doesn’t want you as a citizen, then you don’t get to vote. Living in another country for 10 years and suddenly being granted the opportunity to change national politics seems like an easy way for an Oligarchy to get started. A bunch of rich people buy apartments on the island, and boom, 10 years later they control the politics of the island. Again, I don’t truly know the ins and outs of the system, and I could be completely wrong, so if there is something I’m missing, please, let me know.

Edit: or just downvote without explanation. You know, whatever works.

But it doesn’t operate as a part of France. If it did, this law wouldn’t be necessary because a French citizen living there would already have the right to vote by virtue of being a citizen. This measure seems to remove that block and allow outside influence to control the politics of the island. Honestly, I can’t think of a non-nefarious reason to do this. It reeks of a political coup.

Really glad I waited to snag this one. If they are going to continue to pump out updates like this, I think now is a great time to keep waiting… And waiting… Probably a decade or more.

“Woah! You can’t just cast any spell you find laying around. You have to create a virtual world first, then cast the spell. That way if shit goes pear shaped, you just pull the plug and the world vanishes. Can you imagine if you got a grimoire labeled ‘Summon Frog’, but it actually summoned a plague of frogs? Do you know even who wrote the book? Bro. Virtual World.”

Here is a bit more for you, from another reply.
