Norgur,

Only if the vendor decided to pass the tax credit they get for selling to a.foreigner on to you.

Norgur,

Yeah. Just take shit. If society can't take care of those in need, the needy cannot be blamed for taking matters into their own hands.

Norgur,

Oh, you pay VAT. Difference is that you ain't getting the shit that VAT money buys.

See, that's the thing: I very much mind "working around some issues" in gaming and in gaming alone. I'm as much of a tinkerer when it comes to software as the next guy, but now with a child and all of those pesky responsibilities that slowly pile up as you age, gaming time is
a) scarce and
b) the only real "wind down" time I get

I have time for other things that make me happy mind you, but gaming time needs to be different you cannot dive into an RPG and do subtle story Sidequests and whatnot if you can't dive into the game fully, switch off everything else for a time. Whenever I can do that, any "small issue" I'd need to work around would make me MAD.

Gaming is the one thing where I don't want the super customizable OS that works exactly as I want that I can get with Linux. I want to press play and be taken to a place where peasants will task any random stranger to bring their child somewhere and any Lord will entrust his kingdom into some random dipshit he just.met.

Norgur,

Nah, it's a lonely birthday order. Those have immunity before the pizza criminal courts. As have "I was just cheated on" and "my pet died* orders. Ohy and "fuck this sounds disgusting but I'm pregnant so this ain't even the weirdest shit I've eaten in the last week " orders

Norgur,

Well, the renfaire people only get to be upset if this is the only anachronism in costumes

Norgur,

NovelAI is one of the uses of such an AI that actually makes sense.

Norgur,

It's almost as if the LLMs that got hyped to the moon and back are just word calculators doing stochastic calculations one word at a time... Oh wait...

No, seriously: all they are good for is making things sound fancy.

Norgur,

It's not reductive. It's absolutely how those LLMs work. The fact that it's good at guessing as long as your inputs follow a pattern only underlines that.

Norgur,

No, it does not "check itself". You mixed up "completely random guesses" and stochastically calculated guesses... ChatGPT has.an obscenely large corpus of training data that was further refined by a blatant disregard for copyright and tons and tons of exploited workers in low wage countries, right?

So imagine the topic "setup Wordpress". ChatGPT has just about every article indexed that's on the internet about this. Word for word. So it's able to assign a number to each word and calculate the probability of each word following every other word it scanned. Since WordPress follows a very clear pattern as to how it's set up, those probabilities will be very clear cut.
The details the user entered can be stitched in because ChatGPT can very easily detect variables given the huge amount of data. Imagine a CREATE USER MySQL command. ChatGPTs sources will be almost identical up until it comes to the username which suddenly leads to a drop on certainty regarding the next Word. So there's your variable. Now stitch in the word the user typed after the word "User" and bobs your uncle.

ChatGPT can "write programs" because programming (just as human language) follows clear patterns that become pretty distinct if the amount of data you analyze becomes large enough.

ChatGPT does not check anything it spurts out. It just generates a word and calculates which word is most likely to follow that one.

It only knows which sources of it's training data it should xluse because those were sorted and categorized by humans slaving away in Africa and Asia, doing all the categories by hand.

When a Torrent disappears from 1337x, how do you find out what happened?

Yesterday there was a controversial movie torrent that was getting 1000s of downloads and was on the “popular this week” page, and today it’s just gone. I went to the uploader’s account page and it’s not there either. Just like it never existed....

Norgur,

Forget about the history. What "controversial movie" are we talking about?

Norgur,

Idk what the issue is:

  1. Unpack
  2. Install
  3. ?
  4. It just works
Norgur,

Corporate needs you to find the difference between those images

Norgur,

Anybody else getting "I'm 14 and this is deep" vibes from this?

Norgur,

So, let's go then

No, we can't go yet

Why not?

We are waiting

Waiting? For whom?

For Godot!

Oh, yeah!

Norgur,

The hiss of that air bottle might be a little annoying though.

Norgur,

There is always someone who waltzes over an obvious joke. Can't have a bit of goofing around without the obligatory "uhm, ackchually"

Norgur,

You hermetically seal her nether regions with the strongest est and water tightestes tape there will ever be? That's counterproductive.

Norgur,

Oh, you heard of that. Or did you think catholic priests really do that for the "service to God" nonsense?

Norgur,

Both?

Norgur,

Or with that parody on those voices Last Week Tonight does.

Norgur,

The pwnage is unending. Imagine being a baby made by a man and a woman! Embarrassing!

Norgur,

You tried your best and failed. Lesson is: don't try
