Thank god this AI burned through some of Earth's finite resources to save me reading a whole eight words. Truly, this is the future I always dreamed of.

I like how large they are. Most wings in fantasy are just little stubby winglets that could barely slow a fall in reality. These look like you could actually hang glide using them.

Wow, that article contains dangerous amounts of snark.

I’ve been trying to grow Pawpaw in zone2b climate

That's gonna be a challenge. Most of the time I see zone 4 listed as the coldest zone they can survive. You may want to look at some of the techniques people use for overwintering citrus in cold climates to try and keep your saplings alive.

Also if you haven't already you might want to look into service berries as a fruit tree you could grow in your climate. Some species are hearty to zone 2, so with your 2b zone they should be happy in your climate.

statement: system had to be taken down for testing/maintenance (and cost cutting because AI tokens expensive af) and unfortunately during that time a shooter appeared on the premises and we were unable to do anything.

To be fair, according to the article these drones are remote piloted, not AI controlled. So they probably won't function because rent-a-cop Stu is taking a three hour long lunch break at the stripclub or passed out drunk under his desk.

So... how long until kid discovers the login/password to this system is Admin/admin1234?

Yes, yes... if we just shit upon the poor and desperate just a little bit more, capitalism will finally work and we will all live in a Utopian meritocracy. Remember hygiene is a privilege, not a right!

Looking at EA's executive page I think that's a requirement.

But it takes like a year or so.

I don't get that.

To me they taste kinda... blandly oily/waxy. Not an offensive flavor but definitely not my favorite nut.

How are they so bad at this?

Okay, here's what you want to Nintendo, feel free to take notes: You look at people who paid more because of the tariffs (and you'll know this because all Switch 2 systems phone home so you have that data) and you give them $50 in e-shop credit. There, problem done. Not only have you cultivated a shit ton of good will but a lot of games that people want to buy won't be completely covered by that $50, so many gamers will have to put more money into your e-shop.

 

So firstly sorry if this isn't a appropriate post for this community, but I had a shower thought a few days back.

LLM's have gotten sufficiently advanced that they can usually detect Markov (or randomly) generated text even when it's fed into the front end. As such, it seems likely that most "AI" companies either have or will have some sort of pre-screening pass to "clean" the raw data crawled from the internet. Heck, I'm sure they're filtering the data with a AI detection algorithm too.

However, there was this conspiracy parody site a while back called "Verified Facts". The sites down now and something that wanted to install a Firefox extension, so don't go there. Luckily there are many instances of pages still on archive.org to get an idea for what sort of stuff it generated. And I was thinking, this is some (mostly) grammatically correct, constantly on point drivel that would probably bypass both Markov and AI detectors.

So it seems like if you were going to make an "AI tar pit" you'd get much better results with one that tricks the AI into ingesting auto generated Madlib pages filled out with a list of randomly picked words.

 

Since there is no thread about this on Lemmy, I figured I may as well make one in case someone hadn't heard about it.

Anyway, a new app called Netpass has been released that allows Streetpass over the internet. The app is still kinda rough, a few games like Tomodachi Life have a minor bugs, but for the most part it works almost exactly like if you conventionally streetpassed someone.

 

So I was browsing SteamDB.info looking at the various games on sale when I noticed there were a bunch of games (usually from the publisher Hede, but there's quite a few others) listed as having a discount in the high nineties, yet still costing in the neighborhood of 30-50 dollars. Even odder when I go to the game's Steam, it's not listed as being on sale and costs the... "normal" price of $99.99.

I'm just wondering A) What the scam is here, B) How a SteamDB.info is getting $99.99 dollar game as costing 30-ish dollars when it's 97% off but at the same time it's apparently not actually on sale?
