  • I did not know that

  • looks at the biggest crowd in the lineup

    Yes, that's a safe enough inference.

  • I'm doing my part!

  • Some people are just influenced by the evil of Giygas, always on the attack. It's not my job to hit them with a frying pan.

  • I'll take that onboard. Still, nothing can convince me anyone should ever talk to an AI about whether to launch nukes. The entire question is insane, so the answers hardly matter.

  • That's exactly why though. The likeliest guesses are either "the US" or "somewhere else". Specificity is always a more compelling heuristic.

  • Those prompts are aimed at producing a specific result for sure. The war game doesn't prove anything on its own, but I can't help feeling that in a real life scenario where anyone asks an AI what to do, they're going to have a specific outcome in mind already, one way or another.

    That's just how most people are, by the time they ask for advice they've already made up their mind. So the war game was realistic, but only by accident.

  • Again, and I've tried to be very clear about this, I'm not saying they're correct. We agree that it's a mistake. I'm explaining how it is an easy mistake to make.

    This is a frustrating conversation.

  • Don't do numbers at me, if a quarter of the roulette wheel says USA we both know where you're putting your money.

    Again, nobody said it was clean thinking or appropriate to pre-judge, only that you can easily see how the mistake gets made without ever calling it chauvinism.

  • The US is simply where the highest number of anglophones reside. You'd have to sum up the next three nations to get more English speakers than the US (according to worldatlas.com).

    Assuming an English speaker on the internet is American is still rude, but not exactly a bad guess - and hardly chauvinism imo

  • I wonder... If humans were all super serious, direct, and not funny, would LLMs trained on their stolen data actually function as intended? Maybe. But such people do not use LLMs.

  • I like the sass on that gastropod

  • Evil people just live longer, ever noticed that? It's that stress-free lifestyle of not giving a shit about anybody or anything.

  • Thank you, I treasure comments like this! Does he weigh in on swift bricks anywhere? I do hope he likes those, at least.

  • Strong contender for Most Useful Idiot of 2026, there. Hard to see anyone topping that with only ten months left.

  • Yeah it's fine, we aren't after the same thing with games and there's no amount of objective data that will bridge that gap - which is why I didn't bother to look then up for you, sorry not to satisfy your curiosity there.

    I'm not a Mac Stan or anything either, it's just one of my daily drivers. I bet if you looked at the whole picture with everything I used at home and how, you'd probably just laugh. I don't even use a KVM switch for my two desk computers, I just unplug my keyboard back and forth several times a day.

  • It me

  • I mostly do indie games, and I do fine on a Mac (I have several different OS at home, majority Linux). But, my 2017 iMac with aftermarket 32gb RAM can run BG3 on the lowest settings.

    FPS? No idea. I don't play games for the visuals at all, and if you gifted me a high end gaming PC I still wouldn't. It's not a question of superiority or inferiority, it's just down to taste.

  • I've got a friend in Prague who wants us to visit, really annoyed that I haven't taken him up on that yet.
