as someone who has worked in both kinds of hotels: can confirm, this meme is spooky accurate; below $100 and the usual mixture of drug addicts, prostitutes, and general “people bringing fucking issues” come out of the woodwork.

by their very nature, they are not sentient. They are Markov chains for words. They do not have a sense of self, truth, or feel emotions, they do not have wants or desires, they merely predict what is the next most likely word in a sequence, given the context. The only thing they can do is “make plausible sentences that can come after [the context]”.

That’s all an LLM is. It doesn’t reason. I’m more than happy to entertain the notion of rights for a computer that actually has the ability to think and feel, but this ain’t it.

“AI freedom”

listen I am 100% here for the rights of non-human general intelligence, but no I will not entertain that kind of crock from an overambitious form of autocomplete.

I’m already judging you, if it makes you feel better.

Why you keep askin’ me that? Where his holiness does his business, is his business.

Do you think God stays in heaven because He, too, lives in fear of what He’s created?

Would you like AMMMMM or FMMMMM?

you mean spastics like me are supposed to be able to read people better?

terrific, I’m even bad at being autistic! what fun.

Impedance and audio quality are not intrinsically linked.

Don’t make me get the educational film out.

Surviving Life With Your Gigantic Penis by Chris Boden.

Yes, that’s the title of an actual book.

For this? I’d hit the custom button and put in $0.02, and then tell them exactly why they’re getting that tip. I only get “thank you!” if I double the cost of my order? fuck off. 30% is not a “so-so” tip, that’s the upper end of the best tips I give.

I reckon it’s the cleaning.

I’ve never used contacts because the idea of touching my eye squicks me out (even if it’s something meant to go there, just – no.), but having your eyelids do all the cleaning and never having to worry about them getting dirty or scratched while using them is probably something a lot of people appreciate. (obviously you do still have to be careful with them when they’re not in your eye, but they’re much less likely than glasses to get dirty or scratched)

Me, I’m happy just using a microfiber cloth and being careful.

Didn’t he later admit it was shopped?

listen, everything seems really really funny until there’s an FBI agent sitting you down at a table with a printout of it. Tends to suck the humor right out of your shitposting.

honestly I modded the fuck out of my Payday 2 because I didn’t like how tanky enemies were on higher difficulties compared to how fragile the player is. I’m fine with being fragile (if anything I prefer it because it’s realistic), but if I shoot someone in the face with a 12 gauge, I expect their face to not exist anymore, just like mine – whereas on anything higher than death wish, without modding, you might as well be throwing pocket sand at them while they down you with maybe 1 or 2 shots.

Fortunately, the entire game being a house of cards built on LUA makes modding it super easy. Even works online, whether you’re the host or not, though some effects from mods will only work if you’re the host.
