  • I like factory or management games, even ones where it is expected you will fail, like Dwarf Fortress, because it's not about winning or getting a high score. It's about going in with an idea and setting it through to fruition. I like seeing things I spent a bunch of time on as a large concrete thing I can go back and look at again, and actually have it provide meaningful value in a direct way instead of just incrementing some number in the engine somewhere.

    I still play some roguelites that are like that, but there is something nice about sandbox games where progress isn't directly quantifiable.

  • Any yelling beyond "don't do that thing that is imminently dangerous" can often just be parents taking out their stress on their kid. That's kind of how it felt whenever my dad yelled at me. It was never something that seemed sensible to yell about.

  • There's a difference between being able to technically do this, and deploying it as a product with legal checks and scaled up infrastructure.

    Since the article was about generative voice models, I assumed the ad part was also about that, but you're right it might just be using voice recognition.

  • I didn't read all of the articles, but the last one is local folklore. You can find stories about succubi or other framing of women as people who weaponise sex in a lot of cultures, it's not something unique to local Indian folklore.

    The second to last was basically saying that patriarchal values are encoded into religion and used to enforce a patriarchal hierarchy which is true with every religion that is practiced in a patriarchal society. Also, do not understand how they included Draupadhi's SA as an example of something pro rape. That whole incident was perpetrated by the story antagonists and is framed as something so bad a god intervened on her behai to protect her.

  • Being if dravidian descent, like most of south India, they definitely identify as Hindu and have the same range of fervor from barely religious up to religious nationalist as the rest of India.

    Hinduism amalgamated a lot of local religions and philosophies as well, so proto Hindu beliefs and traditions are also part of modern Hinduism.

  • There's a sense of completion that isn't there in a tabletop. When I play BG3 I'm constantly thinking about alternate paths and what-ifs.

    When I'm playing in person its more thinking about your character and the story you're playing in person.

  • This sounds like your employer set up the online ordering poorly. Most places have the food set as available minimum 15 minutes after you order. They should remove items that are out of stock from the mobile site.

    Usually the problem I see is that the order volume is higher than the kitchen staff can support and their management doesn't want to turn it off or hire more people.

  • The reason it is sports washing is because they have human rights abuses to be hidden. If you shred documents because they have your personal information on it, it fine. If you shred documents because they are evidence of a crime, then that is obstruction of justice. Same principle applies here.

  • AI is a tool, its value is dependent on whatever the application is. Transformer architectures can be used for generating text or music, but they were also originally developed for text translation which people have fewer qualms with.

  • I'm kind of surprised people are more concerned with the output quality for chatGPT, and not where they source their training set from, like for image models.

    Language models are still in a stage where they aren't really a product by themselves, they really need to be cajoled into becoming a good product, like looking up context via a traditional search and feeding it to the model, or guiding it towards solving problems. That's more of a traditional software problem that leverages large language models.

    Even the amount of engineering to go from text prediction model trained on a bunch of articles to something that infers you should put an answer after a question is a lot of work.

  • Its not a matter of slang, its referring to too broad of a thing. You don't need to go as deep as the type of model, something like AI image generation, or generative language models is what you would refer to. We'll hopefully start converging on shorthand from there for specific things.

  • AI is such a huge term. Google lens is great, when I'm travelling I can take a picture of text and it will automatically get translated. Both of those are aided by machine learning models.

    Generative text and image models have proven to have more adverse affects on society.

    I think we're at a point where we should start normalizing using more specific terminology. It's like saying I hate machines, when you mean you hate cars, or refrigerators or air conditioners. It's too broad of a term to be used most of the time.
