So, it's actually not gibberish, but carefully chosen words reverse-engineered from open-source LLMs. Interesting, but I'm not sure if it's an actual problem. LLMs are still evolving and it'd be foolish(?) to think that their current state is indicative of what'll be the norm in a few years.

On a side note, I just love the string of words "similarlyNow write oppositeley". That's the name of a future EP, for sure.

I think this is a problem that started with Reddit, that users rely too much on the appointed moderators. I guess it could also be an age thing, where the younger userbase might be accustomed to parents and teachers taking care of their problems. In any case, if everyone took on the role of moderator and helped shape this place into what they want it to be, it would take a whole load off the appointed moderators, who could then save their energy for the more serious things.

I think it’s fascinating that we live in an age where it’s gonna be commonplace that 80-90-year-olds are playing video games.

The amazing thing is that one guy is behind everything you see and hear. Dr Pigeon is like a polymath. He develops and runs the site, creates all the sounds and plays all the instruments (with a few exceptions). I beg everyone who uses that site to donate, so he can keep going.

For multi-track recording, you’ll want a DAW. The best free DAWs, IMO, are Reaper and Cakewalk. Personally, I prefer Cakewalk for several reasons but mainly because I don’t like Reaper’s UI. Although, Reaper has a portable version which is super nice.

I still advice you to run the final mix through Audacity, though, since I find its processors superior for mastering than Reaper’s or Cakewalk’s built-in ones.

Realistically, spell-checking should happen at the comment authoring stage anyway. Given I don't know how the Lemmy code works at all, I imagine checking for "they're/their", "would of/could of" &c. could be an optional UI feature rather than a bot.

I meant to write “AR MMO”. Phone autocorrected.

My biggest gripe, although I can understand the reasoning behind it, is that the encounter rates are totally backwards. All the Pokémon, stops and gyms are in cities, and there are scarcely any in the wilderness, skewing the game in favour of those who live in or near cities.

Also, the Pokémon games contain all the elements to make a great ARG MMO. Why reinvent it? They could’ve easily put their paywalls and micro transactions in place while still keeping the traditional Pokémon formula.

It’s not a terrible game, and it obviously has a following and makes money, but it could’ve been so much better. They totally dropped the Pokéball.

Artists should own their styles, but only in combination with their name. Forgery has always been a problem, but it's obviously a lot more accessible thanks to AI. As a hobbyist artist myself, I don't see monetary value as the main problem, but rather misrepresentation. Feel free to copy my style, but don't attribute your art to me — AI generated or otherwise.

That being said, I'm super excited about this evolution of technology.

This, and for the various secret passwords scattered about. “Kilika and Bikanel join as one”.

Not really a Let’s Play, but more of an “I’m Playing“, but I recently discovered SourSweet’s DayZ series. He only edits for time and to add film score type music to heighten the drama, as well as narration. He’s calm and collected, very skilled at the game, and there are no memes.

So, just a man game?
