Plus why would anyone use the expensive ram ssds and gpus to make a datacenter for videogames when they can hop onto the AI hype before it's gone?

Some time ago: "I just hope the most evil people are so dumb that they get found out"

Don't misrepresent the situation, Elmo is a muppet not a puppet!

Then I'd have to also tell you to never play a game or buy a product ending in 99 cents. Getting into the mind of the consumer is business 101 and is literally the difference between a game/product having any success or not.

And this has been proven, JCPenney tried to get rid of 99 cent pricing and led to losing 30% profits and bankruptcy. The people who want fair and square pricing won't be there to actually buy it.

Fundamentally due to it's design, LLMs are digital duct tape.

The entire history of computer science has been making compromises between efficient machine code and human readable language. LLM's solve this in a beautifully janky way, like duct tape.

But it's ultimately still a compromise, you'll never get machine accuracy from an LLM because it's sole purpose is to fulfill the "human readable" part of that deal. So it's applications are revolutionary in the same way as "how did you put together this car engine with only duct tape?" kind of way.

Maybe this is a Sodium (explosive) + Chlorine (corrosive) = salt (delicious) type of situation?

Thing is Valve is a private company with a flat structure and shared ownership that encourages moving between departments.

Basically, it's just a club of people doing whatever they want and they happen to all love videogames.

They are female to male so top surgery is breast removal, technically cosmetic but vital for mental health. Whether they were able to get a mobility surgery and chose not to I don't know.

I think the Serana Dialogue Addon does the romance tastefully, they even hired the original voice actor.

I'm still young at 25, but I can see the hallmarks of aging. I've moved to a new state for 5 years now and when I visited my old home it felt half foreign, half familiar. I'm the youngest so my mom's age is starting to show.

Things I consider recent are now described as "years ago". I'm seeing things evolve through life. Things that felt like they had a beginning, middle, end now are starting up again. Almost like a ride that's resetting for the next ones in line.

I'm surprised Harkon didn't try to take Blackreach for himself. They're immune to Falmer poison, they can use their full power without sunlight, they're smarter and have access to invisibility, illusions, and charms.

In return he could have a country sized cavern, with at least two points of contact to Skyrim one either end, all the dwemer tech to hoard and use with their ancient knowledge. He could subjugate the falmer to be blood livestock, they're already crafted to be good slaves by the dwemer.

He could slowly build up a vampire/thrall/dwemer machine army right under Skyrim then wage war overnight. Could even use dwemer machines by day to maintain territory until you complete this master prophecy you have.

I think I'm going through the millennial thing, where everyone treats your generation as children even though I'm 25.

I mean, the first wave of Gen Alphas are 15 now, pretty soon no Gen Z's gonna be in high school anymore.
