I was like 8~10, and quite late; I had zero interest in learning whatsoever, and was incredibly stubborn. But I was a fan of the Star Wars, to the point where I figured out how the VHS machine worked so I could watch Luke fight Vader in slow motion. When I got into KOTOR for the first time, I quickly realized that I had to learn to read in order to understand player dialog options and what the aliens were saying via subtitles, and that was a significant motivation for me. Plus, the subtitles for English voiced lines, especially from the player’s party during the intro level and Taris let me make quick associations between written and spoken words, which helped me catch up a lot.

I literally learned how to read for this game (and runescape but mostly kotor). Fantastic

Evidently, it appears to. I hope I get proven wrong.

Fuck yeah

Lol does this mean I saw a bunch of news articles pop up because of a discord post? Nice… Hope they appreciate the PR and dedicate some resources now that they’ve seen how responsive the community is

Tools are just tools; there are good ways and bad ways to use them. “Grok, go find bugs in the Linux kernel” isn’t a good one. This isn’t hard to understand…

There were many, partially well-intentioned, mostly fame-seeking, one-off ‘projects’ ‘scanning’ public repos and flooding them with low-quality low-effort PRs and issues; things that no human ever read until the a maintainer did.

“They made a poison and sold us a cure” is absolutely a valid criticism; that’s two sides of the same coin. But pretending that he’s being hypocritical or that LLMs aren’t useful is just being wrong for the sake of hating AI

This will only catch (literally) zero effort abuse.

The fucktard who made the Oculus Rift likes to use my preferred operating system to kill people. Tech is a wild world.

Edit: actually not just tech. Capitalism is just evil in general and polutes everything both literally and metaphorically

We live in a world where it’s sorta just widely understood that the bottled-water chocolate-bar company murders people for profit on the regular

It’s all fucked at every level

Primarily available to the extremely privileged

My local LLM narrowly fetching and caching a page or two isn’t what’s been hitting infra across the global and making indie sites blow up or die out. Doesn’t matter if the small players can’t buy the same access as the big players; they don’t need it and it’s not really for them.

(liability to asset) For whom?

The balance sheet. I didn’t mean it in the abstract.

Its all public anyways. Its more like they sold infrastructure access afaik. Which is a smart move. Money aside, unauthorized scraping is a much bigger PITA and can drain resources quickly, including financial resources. Selling access means you can regulate it and also make it go thru appropriate infra; plus it becomes an asset rather than a liability. Not a fan of the wikimedia org lately, but I don’t fault them for that one.

I’ve literally never played multiplayer in any rockstar game. I get that’s where all the hype is but I’ve never cared for a second. Their games have always been like Skyrim for me.

I look forward to playing it for free.
