Nagaram [none/use any]

I run my copy of Deepseek on a RTX 3060 12 gig that cost $300 and uses less than $5 a month of electricity. That’s assuming it ran full tilt 24/7 (it does not). It just helps me write hobby code and read manuals for my tech stack. It has helped my process so much as a Systems admin.

It really is a useful tool and a very pleasing one when you’re not giving OpenAI free access to your credit card.

I think people are right to downplay it a bit. I was watching Alex Avila’s “AI Wars” earlier and he was sort of defending the hype about AIs capabilities. Which I agree with but I don’t think the average person understands the nuances in an LLMs ability. It isn’t thinking at the end of the day. It is trying to satisfy the human audience enough to receive math rewards. It’s a dog doing a really elaborate trick in hopes of a treat. But to a lay person it is fully thinking and feeling.

This is not a dangerous stance per se unless we start hooking ChatGPT up to the “please decide who dies” machine. It just wants to please it’s masters and nothing would make Unitedhealth happier than never having to pay out insurance. Nothing would make the DoD happier than justifying the vaporization of foreign brown people based on an AI analysis.

You’re right, it’s just a tool. And a hammer can build a house or crush a skull. But I think we should be okay with a bit of luddism if it stops people from dangling over the nuke button and saying the hammer falling gets to kill us all.

I mean, it’s true. It’s actually only came up when I tried playing Oblivion Remastered on my 6600 XT.

Also the min specs on that game are a lie

Where do you live geographically?

Looks like a cicada larvae.

Honestly, super common for 14 year olds to be horrible people. It’s kinda impossible IMO to determine if this is an actual case of NPD or BPD or if she’s just a shit 14 year old who hasn’t developed a moral compass or has developed a really shit one.

Either way, solid time to explain to your sister that these people are psychic vampires who will drain her of her emotional energy. She shouldn’t consider her a friend and should certainly find a better friend group if possible. Maybe try some art clubs or anything else than hang out with Ashlyn.

Thank the gods! I hate clicking a news article and seeing “accept all” and “click here to choose settings”

Expanding lore for towns that might be thrown away I think is a good use.

Feed it a few notes you want to make sure get included, drop some hooks you like and let it weave it in.

Something I always struggle with is deciding which NPCs are “expendable” Bec once I write a story for them I don’t want them to die, because I know my players won’t remember them fondly but if it’s AI slop stories then it’s fine.

Edit: I’m building for DnD/TTRPGs if that’s not obvious

Hell I have no faith that would get fixed in my life. So I got snipped

Partner and I have VERY expensive medical issues. Not going to make a kid go through that

I love playing Warhammer games because they’re always easier to play versions of better games. Only problem is they’re more expensive for no reason other than Warhammer tax.

The woman representation in Apple TV’S “Foundation” is degrading in addition to being poorly written.

They gender swapped a character to increase the representation of women in Foundation (which honestly, good Asimov was pretty sexist so fuck him), but made the character wholly dependant on a man (Harry Seldon)to be useful through visions? This both takes away her agency and defeats the original point of foundation in that humans will reliably make the right decisions given the proper circumstances and not because the ghost of mathematical people understandet said so.
