Which is interesting, because the point of the phrase is to imply something is so commonplace that it practically has no value. It’s so commonplace you can get a dozen of them for a dime!

So technically while the relative value of the dime in this phrase decreases, the relative value of the phrase itself increases as the dime’s value ever further approaches negligible, ever better emphasizing the point!

Words are fun.

Nah, I can give them p-r-------l at least.

Yes that’s the joke

We ain’t a monolith bro, and you don’t speak for me

Yet.

It used to be that we couldn’t just round up US citizens and put them in internment camps, until suddenly Executive Order 9066 changed the rules to say we could.

Never rest in the comfort and safety of the status quo; evil can spring at any time.

I see your point and I agree, except that that isn’t what these headlines are saying. Granted, perhaps that’s just the standard issue of sensationalism and clickbait rather than being specific to this issue, but the point remains that while the articles may be as you claim, the headlines are still presented instead as “A chainsaw can’t even drive a simple nail into wood without issue and that’s why you should be angry anytime you hear a chainsaw.” I dunno. I’m just so exhausted.

Anyone else tired of these clickbait headlines and studies about LLM which center around fundamental misunderstandings of how LLMs work, or is it just me?

“ChatGPT didn’t get a single answer on my algebra exam correct!!” Well yes, because LLMs work on predictive generation, not traditional calculation, so of course they’re not going to do math or anything else with non-language-based patterns properly. That’s what a calculator is for.

All of these articles are like complaining that a chainsaw is an inefficient tool for driving nails into wood. Yeah; because that’s not the job this tool was made for.

And it’s so stupid because there are ton of legitimate criticisms about AI and the AI rollout to be had; we don’t have to look for disingenuous cases of misuse for critique.

I’ve told the story before, but I worked a MarketPro Computer Show & Sale a million years ago and was stationed next to a booth selling mostly speakers and stereo equipment where the booth owner had brought his 10-ish year old son with him. This son preceded to play “Around the World,” full-blast, through an enormous stack of display speakers, instantly filling the entire convention hall. Then he put the song on repeat. All day. No exaggeration, he did not play a single other song for the entirety of the 10 hour shift, just “Around the world, around the world… around the world, around the world… around the world, around the world” endlessly.

That kid is a legend of trolling.

Meanwhile I have 3000+ hours in Civ6…

Why are the animal’s choices never considered in this equation?

Sapience vs sentience. Hope that helps your understanding!

You, my friend, are 100% correct in your take on the topic.

Boring pop culture opinions that nobody actually likes but which wear the cadence of interesting content so people unthinkingly clap along out of habit even though nobody is actually edified by it or sincerely enjoying it.

Just for clarity, the implication you’re making is that the helicopter crash that killed the Iranian president was actually an intentional hit job performed by Israel?

I think this kind of meme is the same thing as people who pretend to hate the word “moist.”

Sir there are literal Nazis online.

Perhaps. But just because duck à l’orange is the superior dinner entree doesn’t mean I can’t still be perfectly satisfied with a nice grilled ribeye steak.

Black Widow is a good film tho?

I will give Eric/ConcernedApe all of the patience and grace he asks for. Man is a good guy and legend of game development.

Fr. Even if CA stopped development on SDV today and never developed another game, he would still be a legend in my book for the amount of love and talent put into SDV. Stardew is without question simply one of the best returns on investment (it’s only $15!) available in gaming.

I’ll admit “trying” was doing a lot of heavy-lifting in that sentence ;)
