That murder-hobo part. I never really understood the expression.

Yes, I would willingly deviate from the main story line the moment I could but I wouldn’t go on a murder rampage, killing everything and anything in site.

On Silent Storm I would go on a random encounter spree, killing enemies as supppsed, but I never targeted NPCs. And in Fallout I’d roam the map for random encounters as well but, again, hostiles were fair game, NPCs weren’t.

And to my understanding, the murder-hobo thing was coined because some players would destroy and kill anything in their path.

I would do this on Fallout and Silent Storm. And I resumed the main quest, my character was so overpowered and overgeared the main game became “almost” too easy. To compensate, I would wreck havoc, chaos and mayem at every chance I got.

Highly influential culture? It’s a fantasy work, not the cure to cancer. But I’ll agree on one thing: corporations are not people; they should be paying to the original creator(s) an efty cut of their profits, from their derivative works.

So you create whatever work. You have exclusive rights to it, let’s say for the sake of the argument, 10 years. During that time you never get any return from your work. But after you can no longer claim your rights, someone, perhaps even a company, stumbles on it - or perhaps they just carefully and patiently waited for it - takes it and capitalizes off it, with you watching and sucking your thumb.

No.

If you, an individual, creates something, you have the right to hold your intelectual property. What should be repelled is how easy it is to exploit artists, of any medium.

Yes. Definitely, yes. And I would buy the condoms.

That is trust. Asking for a safe space, under the roof of their parents, that is sign they trust their parents.

Bater a mortos…

That’s the spirit.

But did Germany defeated Brasil in the cup?

I’m very critic of the AI craze. Too much hype, money, time,energy and effort put in to get very little from it. And considering most LLMs are trained on stolen intelectual property, that makes it even worse.

LLMs are tools. The people using such tools give it personality, a semblance of agency, see what is not there and start to consider a tool a form of life.

I’ve seen people pour so much of them into a local model, the bot develops a quasi clone of their personality. But the program is not the person.

Please, stop making bots what they are not.

The simplest way would be for the remaining countries to raise their contribution. And perhaps have a review of the executive salaries.

Large Language Model

To the extent of my understanding, it is a form of slightly more sophisticated bot, as in an automated response algorithm, that is developed over a set of data, in order to have it “understand” the mechanics that make such set cohesive to us humans.

With such background, it is supposed to produce new similar outputs if given new raw data sets to run through the mechanics it acquired during development.

Nice.

This reminds me: weren’t pet rocks a thing at a certain time?

I’ll gladly admit cassowaries are 1) awsome 2) scary 3) capable and willing to kill a human but they are not on the same category birds of terror were.

Yes, cassowaries are modern dinossaurs, as in birds, but not birds of terror.

p.s

After writting and reading what I wrote, I realized I played myself.

Cassowaries are in fact birds of terror; I’d probably end dead and soiled if I ever crossed paths with one, and nothing says things would happen in that exact order.

But cassowaries are definitely not Terror Birds.

Most people do.

You’re describing me but I am not autistic. Can we again just say it is just a bad idea all together.

Strangely enough, we seem to forget the Terror Birds were a thing.

Just look at a chicken. They are just waiting for an opportunity to bring those recessive genes back.

How come?

“I was just obeying orders.”

Under a similar context, was deemed as not a valid argument to shake guilt.

AI models to “aid” in court, listening to witnesses in order to assert if said person is telling the truth or lying are being proposed in my country.

Argument: it will speed up trials, declogging the justice system by extension.

Most lawyers are horrified, as well some judges.

Meanwhile, a judge as been suspended and reprimanded for using AI tools to write his decisions for him.

Yes, the bot did allucinate arguments and used argumentation in common law style, while my country is civil law model.

What a wonderful personality! Such a warm person, full of respect and consideration for the freedom of press and international relations.
