Blackmailing customers onto your service isn’t competition.

Talking things out to ourselves can often be useful. It could certainly be good for that.

I mean, it can be pretty coherent and impressive with the right LLM, but even then it’s mostly just functioning to generate what you want it to, and it’s certainly not going to provide professional insight for those that need it.

“One for exploring and one for fighting” is much less meta than I was expecting from a “Double-Deckbuilder”.

I was able to run llms on a 1080. They were admittedly small ones, but a 3090 is enough to be usable. That said, I’m not convinced it’s a good idea to use it for therapy. I expect it’s about as useful as talking into a mirror.

Has he always had speech issues? I figured it was a side effect of the excessive substance abuse.

*fanning the flames* “I don’t ‘want’ this to happen, I just see it.”

The “thousands of lives lost” part tends to hike up the level of tragedy over the “center of commerce” aspect for most people…

This scene had me tearing up. I had found Mordin so grating and unpleasant at first, but his arch of redemption (for him and his species) ended up making him one of my favorites by the end.

I didn’t even know until much later that there were variations to this scene without this shot and I’m very greatful I stumbled blindly into this one because it’s by far the best.

1. Terrible things can be beautiful in their own way. It doesn’t necessarily mean it’s something they are glad happened (though that “pleasing” admittedly doesn’t look great). Have you never found the visual of something horrible captivating? Where you just can’t look away?

2. Why go with a fictional event when 9/11 is right there? Of which I’m sure much more insensitive things the have been said about as well.

Basically the whole contingent is anti-authority, and con’s were able to capitalize on that by feeding the pushback against vaccines and masks.

Nevermind all the people that will be left to die because of this dumbass’ policies. You (might) get to take shrooms!

The lockdowns and subsequent vaccine drama turned a huge amount of previously assumed “liberal” new-age dumbasses into full-throated right-wing dumbasses. It was surprising to watch at first, but it makes sense when you think about it.

Ignoring the bit where they call him trans as an insult…

Misgendering someone as an insult may hurt them a little, but it hurts the non-cis community a lot.

Assigning a lot of morality and intention to word generating algorithms. “Oh no! The thing made to generate text to a prompt generated text to a prompt!”

They’re not. They’re pointing out problems with the legal system as it stands. The two aren’t mutually exclusive.

Honestly, it’s sad that my first thought was, “Oh? They’re all women? That’s progress!”.

Nope.

Yes, they can. That’s the problem with it being an option.
