Nobody said anything about AI or LLMs.

Flooding online petitions with bots isn't even a this-century thing let alone anything to do with AI hype.

You can see from the previous prompt that it is already being "fun". The user almost certainly prompted it do so.

In fact we can't actually tell that the user didn't prompt the bot to be a clutzy fub "witch" who makes serious mistakes and feels bad about it.

And the way that LLMs work, it would absolutely be more likely to say something stupid that way than if you told it that it was a genius science communicator.

Stop trying to make Comm happen

Yes that's it for a while. Just be kind and gentle to it and to each other. It goes so fucking fast man. I have tears welling up because my last just turned 5 and so that part is gone forever. They're just a lump. But they are a delicate, rapidly growing lump that is purely absorbing one thing, how you treat it.

The only advice I can give is that it's 100% better to have it cry on its own for 5 minutes than for your exhausted brain to lose its temper with a shit-producing potato. Look after yourself too. We evolved to have ten other people around who would hold the baby when you needed a break.

Did you commit to this before you knew what a Cornetto was?

"I thus have no compelling reason to continue interacting with you" ... I bid them farewell ... I have never gotten a follow-up after that

It's great that you respond like this because then the hiring manager can show their boss this and both be happy they dodged a fedora bullet

Much more likely to just be useful dirt they can keep on people and use it to deny or cancel their visa should they want or need to.

Irish people are very vocally sympathetic towards Palestine and other occupied territories because of our own history (and present).

"No more Irish J1 students" won't go down well in Boston. "This guy is a Hamas supporter, deport/deny them!" will.

Crimes are (ostensibly) supposed to be proven beyond doubt, so yes, it can be (and often is, I work for a telecom) used evidence, for both prosecution and defence.

Yes but

  • it doesn't let me charge and play at the same time
  • I could hot swap in and out batteries, but it doesn't report battery percentage
  • It also doesn't auto-pause when the battery dies, like other systems do
  • It runs through them quickly
  • it acts finicky/unpredictable when the battery is very low, rather than reaching a consistent threshold and stopping working
  • In combination with a bug/anti-feature I've posted about previously, my Steam Deck sees it as a new controller every time the batteries are replaced, despite the Bluetooth MAC/BDA not changing.

For me, I want one with internal rechargeable (and replaceable) batteries, more reliable Bluetooth, and multi-device targeting (ie those 1,2,3 toggles you see on stuff like mouse/keyboards - I use mine on my Steam Deck and also on my desktop - dont want to mess with pairing each time. Plus if I end up with with a Switch 2, the trackpad would be interesting for mouse mode if those could connect (no idea)).
