~~Scots isn't just an accent, it's a language in its own right.~~

~~Although honestly I'm not sure how much of this is Scots and how much is just specific to Scottish twitter lol~~

So actually having done some more reading this isn't Scots - I'm fairly sure this is Scottish English which is somewhat a merging of Scots with English.

If he was my boss and he treated me like this I would absolutely hold it against him! Honestly I don't care how much an employee fucks up, there is no excuse for abusing them.

Everyone gets angry, but this is not a constructive way to communicate what someone else needs to do. You can express all of this without belittling and swearing at someone. Being angry is fine, taking it out on other people is rude and unnecessary.

Many copyright holders believe that if they’re able to communicate with pirates, a proportion will change their behavior.

Yes, they will probably be more careful next time

Gamers lose when the store shuts down and you lose access to all of the games you got for free, or worse actually paid for.

Assembly is a scrapheap with every sort of technology imaginable but it's all broken. Could be an iron man suit, or you could just grab a length of rebar.

Do you have an example? Just curious.

Personally I'd rather have crowd sourced bias than the bias of one really rich dude anyways.

Machine Learning is such a better name. It describes what is happening - a machine is learning to do some specific thing. In this case to take text and output pictures... It's limited by what it learned from. It learned from arrays of numbers representing colours of pixels, and from strings of text. It doesn't know what that text means, it just knows how to translate it into arrays of numbers... There is no intelligence, only limited learning.

Part of what's so funny about RPGs is being able to anticipate things that your character can't, and so they do stupid things for stupid reasons

I absolutely agree that local shops closing is a bad thing, but for a lot of niche goods companies like Amazon are a good thing. Delivery by one vehicle is far more efficient than everyone driving their own vehicle to whatever niche shop has your stuff. Don't get me wrong, Amazon is 100% a big evil corporation with huge problems... but the fact that they deliver goods to your house is not the problem lol. Doubly so since you can designate a day for them to deliver and just be in on that day!

Really thought from the picture that the mother roomba was deploying a swarm of cleaning bots to cover more ground.

I think *LLMs to do everything is the bubble. AI isn't going anywhere, we've just had a little peak of interest thanks to ChatGPT. Midjourney and the like aren't going anywhere, but I'm sure we'll all figure out that LLMs can't really be trusted soon enough.
