Annihilation rule.

It is from 2018, but how do you imagine that this was written by AI given that LLMs barely existed at the time and weren’t accessible by the general public?

Yeah, I’m not an expert in construction but I don’t really know what this buys you vs using, for example, insulating concrete forms.

Thank you for the spaghetti drawing.

Reminds me of this:

Its so bizarre seeing this.

For me the chart goes:

Call of Duty (2003) - the first one, it had sprint and ADS. Also two primary weapons and a handgun slot.

Call of Duty 2 (2005) - the first one with regenerating health. This might also be where prone and the true two weapon limit was introduced (but I’m not sure).

…

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009) - At this point people are criticizing the game series for being propaganda for the military industrial complex, for bland mindless gameplay, for being generally bland and uninteresting as a piece of art, for cranking out the same game over and over again, and for spawning so many imitators that creativity was choked out of the AAA development space.

…

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (2014) - the one with that actor in it. People were surprised that it actually changed up its gameplay by adding jetpacks.

From 2014 onwards: I have never heard of these games before. I was vaguely aware that they kept making COD games but never cared to read about them. I think one of them was 150 GB, which some people think was a conspiracy to fill up your hard drive so you couldn’t play other games (considering how much a repack was able to reduce its size).

It might be less the quality of the research and more this:

(This comic is a bit outdated nowadays, but you get the idea).

Except the headlines say “scientists report discovery of miraculous new battery technology using A!”.

Also i think people don’t realize how long it takes to commercialize battery technology. I think they put them in the same mental category as computers and other electronics, where a company announces something and then its out that same year. The first lithium ion batteries were made in a lab in the 1970s. A person in 2000 could have said “I’ve been hearing about lithium ion batteries for decades now and they’ve never amounted to anything”, and they would be right, but its not because its a bunk technology or the researchers were quacks.

With electric cars you might not even need a special charger so much as a special charging cycle. Its already the norm for cars to tell the charger what voltage and current they want, and its already the norm for cars to carefully control their battery’s temperature during charging.

That’s not to say you’d necessarily be able to do this with just a software update, but its not too far off from the current paradigm.

Draw her eating spaghetti

The tree will receive his love physically.

Friend, I am talking about pictures that look like this:

Which was sent to me by someone, along with a bunch of other similar images, by someone who thought it was a real photo.

I am talking about thumbnails generated by early DALL-E, where people’s faces are melting.

People who use Lemmy would be able to tell the difference most of the time, but the average person would have zero idea.

Just look at any of the YouTube videos with obviously AI generated clickbait thumbnails that get 10s of millions of views. Or all of the shitty obvious Photoshop thumbnails that existed before AI.

[Person shitting in a public pool]

“Its called a public pool for a reason. I have a right to this water as much as you don’t like it.”

I wouldn’t want to stay in one for long, but passing through that kind of place can be pretty refreshing, at least for me.

Very cool

IDK, it wouldn’t be the first time a news org published some random shit as fact because they’re too eager to be the first to report on something.

What’s her degree in?

Yep, this is already a solved problem.

About 60% of the people in Vienna live in public housing and its one of the best places in the world to live.

Tons of people in this thread are running around coming up with Rube Goldberg schemes of incentive structures and legal frameworks when the problem is really not that complicated.

Just a slang term for discomfort and anxiety.

Oh wait, I think its Matilda. I guess i got my Roald Dahl chocolate scenes mixed up.

That movie also gave me the heebie-jeebies growing up.
