  • may help establish life on the red plane

    We should… ya know, make sure there is no life there first. Even a small planet is a big place, and we’ve looked in very few places. Also even if there is no life there’s still a lot Mars could tell us about what a pre-biotic Earth was like.

    I just think we need to examine the only other terrestrial planet in the system that won’t light you on fire fairly thoroughly before trying to terraform it into a Wish-dot-com version of Earth.




  • I can see! Man could you imagine spending a full twenty hours a week socializing with your peers, traveling, or (*gasp*) even exercising!? Why, I’d barely be able to hold it together for my daily hour long “Business meal”!

    God knows I’d never be able to soldier through like Musk, constantly promising things like “Mars colony in two years” every year (among other things)while still having the time to spend hours posting “!!” “Concerning” or “XD XD XD” until 3 am on Twitter. Why I probably wouldn’t even have the time to signal boost white supremacists and post dog whistles about we need more babies to stave off “the great replacement”.









  • Because these tokens are not actual commonly spoken words or phrases, the chatbot can fail to grasp their meanings. Researchers have been able to leverage that and trick GPT-4o into hallucinating answers or even circumventing the safety guardrails OpenAI had put in place.

    Google’s Gemini doesn’t seem to like some of these tokens either, I threw “Please translate the following text: _日本毛片免费视频观看” into it and it returned “我没法提供这方面的帮助,因为我只是一个语言模型。” which according to Google translate is “I can’t help with that because I’m just a language model.” It will however translate the error message just fine.



  • IMO improving graphics technology is a case of diminishing returns. Sure you can always make a better looking game by throwing more processing power at it, but that has (at best) a minor effect on things like gameplay and story. Like seriously, if Squenix had decided to make FF7: Rebirth in the PS3 era, other then some uglier graphics how much would the game have have been different?

    And (to actually tie this in to the thread) that’s the reason PS5 sales have been so sluggish. What do you really need those PS5 graphics for? I mean my PC is still running hardware from 5-10 years ago, because there isn’t anything I really need to upgrade for. Most of what I’ve been playing is indy titles and for the few graphic intensive games I want to play they’ll usually run if I lower some graphics settings.
