like this is the shit ‘progressives’ at my synagogue say when I am openly non-receptive in these conversations. this is “I don’t want to get into an argument so I’m going to wax about how tragic it all is and how there’s ‘hate from both ends’ but hyperfocus on the ‘wrongdoings’ of the pro-Palestinians and hope that you think my response is conciliatory enough not to make this an issue”

tl;dr: liberal zionism

thanks

technically every post is an idiolect post if you take a fine-tooth comb to them

All raising prices is going to do is force audiences to choose between games, meaning they buy fewer games.

maybe a shift of consumer indulgence to indie? I feel like this hurts mid-budget games specifically.

If you train a model on data and it outputs in a way you don’t like, and that dislike that is linked to the data itself skewing your output, to fundamentally ‘fix’ it you have to tune the dataset yourself and retrain the model. On Grok’s scale, that’s around a trillion tokens (morphemes, words, punctuation, etc.) that you need to sift through and decide what to manually edit or prune so that the weights work in your favor whilst maintaining generalization otherwise.

If you publicly source said data/use other updating datasets as dependencies and choose to continue publicly sourcing it in further updates (i.e., keeping your model up to date with the current landscape), then if you want to tune an opinion/view out of existence, it is going to be a Sisyphean task.

There’s a bandage solution which is fucking with the system prompt, but LLMs are inherently leaky and need active patchwork in such cases to combat jailbreaking.

okay I know the bit, Americans are lazy, but this genuinely breaks my brain a little. less than ten minutes continuously each week? What the fuck??

Probably walk around with the explicit intent to just walk around for, like, cumulatively an hour or more a day. How the fuck are you people not understimulated at the time you go to bed. Is this some neurotypical magic I’m not privy to?

god I love Umineko so much

I can add it when I get to my computer

It’s a bit in Umineko, basically the main character is named Battler and has that as their kanji name. The other characters have a similar name scheme, so I’m wondering how much license that affords me if I want to link original names to kanji

japanese language understanders in chat—for purposes of calibration of my artistic license in the sketching out a potential fanfic—how fucked is it to derive バトラ from 戦人, on a scale of “unusual grab bag of regular interpretations” to “arcane nonsense”
