I’ve been thinking about something similar to this but D2 wasn’t totally open source until now.
My core group will backstab each other gleefully and when the game is over, that’s it. We’re done. Because none of this is real. We wouldn’t even help each other if we played with other people. We’re all trying to win.
Although I suppose you’re right. If I played with two people, and the role of one of them is simply to help the others game, I’d never play with them.
But when you play a game and it turns out you don’t like it, you need to do your best not to bring it down for everyone. I don’t even mean you can’t criticise the game. Go for it. But find ways to have fun. I like thinking up outlandish strategies and trying to make it work.
No one needs 2 plus hours of their lives ruined because someone threw a hissy fit over a game which has no real life consequences. It’s probably not healthy if you can’t distinguish fact from fiction either.
At least singers participating in K Pop bands is within the region.
It’s too bad because Australia produces some really good stuff and most of it never gets the attention it deserves, not even from Australians.
And I agree that they should behave in a consistent manner.
But it’s a song contest…
Eligibility to compete is not based on country, but my membership to the European Braodcasting Union of which Israel is a member, and Australian SBS is an associate member and was allowed to compete as a special case.
Don't bring Eurovision into it. Learn to lighten up and have some fun instead.
A friend of a friend quit their job, made woodworking their full time job, and promptly fell out of love with woodworking.
You mean having to do something for your survival starts to suck? You don’t say!
I’ve always been more interested in getting my ideas down. AI is fantastic for this. I can get up to speed in coding projects I want to exist and with careful planning get something decent out and completed in a day.
Google, Facebook, X are all explicitly designed to be addictive and provide as little value as possible. Because they want to give everything away for free in a way that keeps you on the site to maximise scraping your data so they can screw you over more later.
They are not even aligned at the most basic level. Everyone needs to stop using it. Or at least circumvent their measures.
I have my reservations about AI but so far I’ve found ways to make me faster. So I’ll continue to use it but make sure to review my usage regularly.
People view cheap as disposable. That’s not entirely corporations fault.
Piñatas are made and designed explicitly to be smashed open to get the treats inside.
We’re not buying brand new iPhones and smashing them, or buying food and making stupid “recipes” for rage bait.
For argument let’s just say we paid all the mathematicians 200k in salary from graduation till retirement. Say 40 years. That’s about 8 million. Let’s round that up to USD 10 million. We can see the future and pay to raise all the baby mathematicians.
For 100 billion that’s 10000 mathematician lifetimes. For 1 AI company _so far_.
There’s no value for money in AI yet.
Building the LLM that could do this work in 11 days cost multi billions.
The economics probably only make sense if LLMs prove to be a benefit to almost everyone in a way we can all accept.
Otherwise this cost a lot more than we’d otherwise pay. It was incredibly fast though. But we all know: cost, speed, quality. Pick two.
I couldn’t justify the cost of the furniture I really want. So off to IKEA I go!
And if you have a bit of skill at choosing and assembling IKEA furniture, then you can customise things on the cheap so at least it can look the way you want.
If you start blindly accepting everything it says, good luck to you.
But you can do things like get one agent to do something. Spin up another agent to review and critique. Use different LLMs to critique. I’ve had the same agent write piece of code and then come back and say “there are bugs x, y and z”.
For most code, it’s going to do a fairly good job and tell you best practices, give you things to research by yourself.
Uh, have you asked it?
These sorts of articles are funny. Like the author assumed that you have to use an LLM in a certain way.
“I can just ask the LLM and there it is! I didn’t learn anything! :(“
You can interrogate the LLM. You can ask it all sorts of things. Tell it to justify its decisions. Tell it to give you supporting evidence. Tell it to give you options. Tell it to explain things in detail.
I’ve been using it as a learning tool and it’s quite effective.
Granted the stuff I don’t care about really does get worse. If I have a config typo I just go “There’s a typo in blah. Find it and fix it.” Or setting up the boiler plate for a project. I’m getting quite useless at that.
But it doesn’t have to be any particular way. It’s a tool. Exploit it.
I have a Prusa btw.
I guarantee you that HITT with stupid movements is also not good for you. And you can over train HITT. Source: all the people I used to do CrossFit with that got injured or washed out from over doing it.
As always the answer is to listen to your body and don’t over do it. Running marathons is fine. HITT is fine. Lifting weights is fine. In moderation at an intensity suitable to the individual.
The truth, as always, is in between. There’s loads of people using it for useful things, learning, automation and getting good results. But it’s also wrong enough that you need to deploy it carefully sometimes.
Don’t worry about either group. Keep objective and use AI where it helps and do it yourself where you are better. That’s all.
Unless you work in some highly specialised field maybe.
