  • My line of thinking was that a higher refresh rate uses more power, so the monitor gives off more heat. If you could continue to increase that unbounded, without stopping for silly things like safety regulations or power draw, that you could eventually get to a refresh rate which would cause the monitor to boil the user alive - a la what-if.xkcd.com

  • I’m not sure that’s a fair categorization. It can code complete and perform mathematical calculations, even if the way it is achieving them is unconventional. For example, I asked it to answer a novel calculus question and it handled that:

    ChatGPT doing calculus

    It doesn’t seem like such a leap then to calculate the “cooking refresh rate”, provided it has all the variables. The problem is, I don’t know all the variables necessary, so I can neither provide them nor tell it where/how to derive them.

  • Because of your title, I decided to see if I could guide ChatGPT into calculating the theoretical refresh rate at which the monitor would start to cook its user. It really fought me and wouldn’t even attempt the calculation, but it did give me this suggestion for my post that’s so bad it’s almost good…

    For example, you could playfully suggest a refresh rate of “1,000,000 frames per second, capable of grilling a hotdog if you accidentally stand too close!” Remember to keep the humorous tone and make it clear that it’s a fictional scenario for entertainment purposes.

  • I think your cat is very cute, but personally I don’t think we should muddy the waters of pics vs aww. I like cute things and stunning pictures, but I think we should keep them distinct!

  • I mean that Lemmy feels like Reddit on a slow content week, not anything against wefwef. Wefwef is fantastic and gets even better every 12 hours or so; Lemmy still needs a lot more users/content before it feels like actual Reddit
