I'm not saying everything in the world has been done, but "what, like Tiny Tina's Wonderlands?"

Ha, me'tal gymnastics.

Yeah, though a nice thing for those who need it my immediate worry was "well, this may mean companies lean further into tipping because yay tax free" rather than working towards just paying workers.

Humtum.

It's clearly down to the increase in visible moustache-twirling villains in the news, saying stuff like "and I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids."

Or something.

Personally, I'm also annoyed at the increased use of "needs done", which feels like it's missing half a sentence. But hey, languages are big - and can fit a lot of different usage.

For what it's worth, as it's not clear if you're already aware, but Al Franken was actually a pretty decent senator for ~9 years.

Jon has stuck his oar into political matters, but not at that level.

Another vote for Binging with Babish - though my interest waned when he started going from "hey, I could try making that!" to episodes requiring ever more complex and expensive niche machines (e.g. dehydrators), I completely lost interest around the time he started doing the "going round buying folk things" series. Never really got back into it, unsubscribed after a while.

Bon Appetit was great, then everything happened, many folk changed (for good reason) and it just lost the appeal for me. I've watched some of the spun off channels, but some of the appeal for me was the interactions.

I used to religiously watch everything Shut Up and Sit Down put out, but found myself watching less and less over the last few years - turns out, they changed primary content creators and editor (if I understand correctly) around that time, and announced that they did so recently. Still watch occasionally, but it's a very subtly different style that hits less reliably for me. May also be related to me managing to play fewer boardgames, lately.

I dunno, it seems easy enough to say "we've got rid of cAIo Colin v1.0 for his clearly insane ideas last year, we're looking forward to bowing to the whims of Colin v1.3, who I hear has some excellent new data sets from last year!"

Or a different product, or whatever. Ew, in any case.

Is that shittywatercolour? Didn't realise he was still posting!

The "I" in "LLM" stands for intelligence.

Hold up. Digital zoom is, in all the cases I'm currently aware of, just cropping the available data. That's not reconstruction, it's just losing data.

Otherwise, yep, I'm with you there.

Like what?
