I didn’t mean to come off as hostile because yes, I do agree with your conclusion that TLOU was a big deal for games. It was an accessible game that did all of the things you mentioned extremely well…but it wasn’t the first to do any of them.

And highlighting just those games ignores the plethora with great stories and acting that just just didn’t click with the mainstream. Try pitching a space opera to the average person in 2013…now try a zombie apocalypse. It got a boost from being in the right place at the right time.

I’m not insulting the game at all but that’s like saying Bob Marley was the first to do reggae.

You’re conclusion isn’t wrong but you’re giving it credit for the wrong things. All of those elements were present in games that came long before, TLOU was just a lot more marketable.

The story-first approach made you feel in control of a zombie movie during peak zombie mania. You just binged The Walking Dead, what if you could play an episode…

In that sense, you’re right that its success opened up a whole new market that we all benefit from. I knew so many people whose game libraries were like NBA 2k 2011, NBA 2k 2012, and The Last Of Us. It made a lot of non-hobbyists realize that games can be art.

It’s a good game that would have earned a place in video game history regardless BUT it wasn’t particularly innovative. It just did what it did very well

All right, well we both know you went into this feigning ignorance

The outrage in the comments is exactly why videos like this exist. This is reality TV.

No no, they’re still working on it! Only 6 years of early access to go

I’m on a crusade against screenshots with replyguys. Just post the funny thing! Skip the clout chaser!

The original tweet with the address was funny.

The other two tweets of people making effectively the same joke but worse are not.

Why include them?

That’s a bit harsh, it’s just a guided exercise class. Maybe it carried that snootiness originally but…my grandma did jazzercise at the senior center lol

An instructor plays music and calls out “dance” moves to the beat for everyone to follow. It’s like square dancing or…Dance Dance Revolution.

Doing it as a group to music makes it easier to keep your pace up and it’s kinda fun to exercise collectively. Same as step aerobics or running groups

That must have sounded really clever and powerful in your head for you to hit send, huh? Couldn’t decide which _zinger to go with so you sent all 4?

I’d have given you more credit if you just posted the quote from Billy Madison. Try harder lol

Sorry for not answering your idiotic question. Also sorry that you’re dead set on deliberately misunderstanding then doubling down on it. Hope it makes you feels smart!

I feel like you don’t understand that LLMs train on text that existed 200 years ago…

Yes…because the pasted text has some of the exact patterns that are part of the dataset that the website trained on…because that dataset contains text generated from a dataset containing the exact paragraph…

I feel like you’re being deliberately obtuse.

It’s original in the book. What the user entered is an exact copy.

“Original” is not the correct work but you know what I mean.

I was being overly simplistic - I meant more that the patterns it’s trying to detect were created by an LLM trained on the data they’re inputting.

It’s like how reddit comments from 2016 look generated. If you stick one of those into an AI detector, it’ll give a false positive for the same reason

It was posted like some kind of gotcha but…this book was in the dataset.

I’m aware that LLMs don’t keep the dataset in memory but it “knows” that this is an existing work but these sites aren’t doing any wild calculations to figure out if it was AI-generated. They basically just check to see if the sentences exist elsewhere and they do. In the original dataset.

So it was wrong to say it’s AI-generated but it correctly identified that it’s not original.

Very poetic but that was absolutely not what made the internet great. It was the culture and content. Everyone was just excited to make and share things with this cool tech.

Mom, how many times do I have to tell you to NOT be concerned about me. How dare you panic at a time like this.

I wonder how many versions of this are going to get posted. There’s currently 2 on my homepage, each from a different poster. Neither with any proof of the claim

That is an insane decision made even worse by the part at the end about 2nd levels.

And on the topic of registrars, let me tell you about the bullshit I’m dealing with.

Fuck gandi.net. If you have domains registered there, MOVE THEM ASAP. If the rest of my message doesn’t convince you, maybe the fact that renewals cost $38 now will.

They got bought out in 2023. I just found that out on Monday when the domain I’ve had there for 25 years expired (despite being set to autorenew)

Just log in, right? Well my dumb ass uses that domain as a catch-all inbox. My gandi account email is [name]-gandi@[domain].com. And they use 2FA.

They don’t list a phone number and their live chat window is 8-11am Paris time. So every day this week I’ve been waking up at 4am to talk to them.

Monday: I tell them the situation. They tell me I can click the button to send the code to my phone. This button does not exist. They tell me they will email a form to fill to change the email address.

Tuesday: I concluded that if they sent it at all, it must have been to the old email. They say they will send it again. This time it works

Wednesday: having submitted the form, photos of my license, and a selfie holding my ID and the form, they respond saying I need to retake the photo because part of the form was cropped. The white space. Not the text. I provide.

Thursday: I sit in live chat queue for 30+ minutes until the time window closes. 15 minutes before it was supposed to

Today: Nothing.

Sorry to commandeer your post with a rant but I am so pissed about domains this week.

32mb of RAM?! You could load a whole texture with that thing!
