Seems up to me!

I don’t really dispute that but at least we are able to apply formal analytical methods with repeatable outcomes. LLMs might (and do) achieve a similar result but they do so without any formal approach that can be reviewed, which has its drawbacks.

I never made any “AI bad” arguments (in fact, I said that they may be incredibly well suited to this) I just argued for the correct use of words and you hallucinated.

You said “they literally do analyze text” when that is not, literally, what they do.

And no, we don’t “all know” that. Lay persons have no way of knowing whether AI products currently in use have any capacity for genuine understanding and reasoning, other than the fact that the promotional material uses words like “understanding”, “reasoning”, “thought process”, and people talking about it use the same words. The language we choose to use is important!

The person you’re replying to is correct though. They do not understand, they do not analyse. They generate (roughly) the most statistically likely answer to your prompt, which may very well end up being text representing an accurate analysis. They might even be incredibly reliable at doing so. But this person is just pushing back against the idea of these models actually understanding or analysing. Its slightly pedantic, sure, but its important to distinguish in the world of machine intelligence.

I mean this person seems to be not doing it maliciously. As they say, if it wasn’t them, it would be someone else. Pushing archive to improve their security is great for everyone. As long as this person doesn’t do anything actually malicious, they’re in the clear as far as I’m concerned.

The Last Campfire is delightful, and feels like being read a bedtime story. God, it’s good. I could listen to the narrator read the back of a shampoo bottle.

Planet of Lana is a drop dead gorgeous side scrolling puzzle platformer with a beautiful soundtrack and world building.

Beacon Pines isn’t technically linear, in that you can complete some stuff in an order of your choosing. But the overall experience is quite linear. Its an exquisite experience, I can’t recommend it enough.

If you enjoyed Undertale, play OneShot. No question. Its splendid.

Night in the Woods is a joy as well, it makes me nostalgic for a childhood I never had. Must-play.

Stray - you are a cat doing cat things in a broken future. Splendid experience.

Mirror’s Edge is a game I think everyone should experience at least once. It’s beautiful.

Celeste - it has the best tuned difficulty curve I’ve seen in any game, and it wants you to succeed. It also tells a really beautiful story. God the platforming is good. Its so good. By the end of it, you are doing things you never thought you’d dream of doing. You’ll feel like a speedrunner with all the little movement tricks you’re able to do.

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is a thought provoking masterpiece and a little spooky.

QA is part of the game development process and its supposed to happen before it reaches end users. They’ve made some good games but they can’t act all surprised that selling a game and letting users be free QA doesn’t cut it.

I’ve currently got 60gb used on my phone, and I’ve been very lazy with keeping things tidy. So I think a 128gb device would facilitate all my storage needs from a phone.

I guess I wouldn’t buy something with less than 128gb, to answer the second question.

All my data hoarding happens on my desktop + NAS, I don’t consider my phone a safe place to keep anything I care about as it can be stolen or lost or broken so incredibly easily.

looks at your instance domain

Carry on

I genuinely can’t fucking stand this. It never breaks away cleanly and it just makes it annoying to share because the pieces are all different sizes

The fediverse do be shenaniganing

Beehaw at least is only a quarter of the monthly active users compared to hexbear, that hardly makes it a “micro” instance if they’re on the same order of magnitude. But I digress.

No shade to what hexbear is achieving and I’m very glad to hear that they are championing trans acceptance and not tolerating transphobia. Great work!

Unrelated, I didn’t get a notification for your reply, at all, how peculiar. I only saw it because I happened to revisit the post.

I’d say “and it isn’t close” is a bit disingenuous when instances like beehaw and blahaj exist.

Calling out transphobia is division? Just curious what part of the lgbtqia2s+ community are you?

I thiiiink they’re modding the game but still playing on official hardware, so they might be in the clear for now (until Nintendo goes further)

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice had such a vivid portrayal of auditory and visual hallucinations and the psychological aspects thereof, as well as being rooted in genuinely spooky themes. Playing it in the dark with headphones was a truly psychologically scary experience and it didn’t really rely on jumpscares for the scary factor. ( which to me is a huge plus )

Ah right.

The concept of a rigid biological sex binary is a social construct, that’s basically the entire point of this post.
