No thank you to the physicist who declared to a room full of other physicists that biologists “don’t know how to design an experiment.”

That’s just what physics does to your brain. They’re all like that.

Ironically - still successfully highlighting how smart people can be assholes.

Okay, so what’s an “astronaut riding a horse” example? What would demonstrate how the model actually works, without people scoffing like it can only copy-paste whole things that already exist?

92 is half of 99.

This diagram has a diameter.

You mean Philadumplings?

Technically Henya, in that I’ve seen multiple videos by Henya. She played Black Mesa and I’m a sucker for Japanese dorks getting into important shooters. (The Halo CE co-op with Zentreya devolved into too much teamkilling. I mean, that’s also how it worked back in the day, but it’s more fun to do than to watch.)

Wait, does Shenpai count? The combination of manic energy and neverending bi panic make for good edits. The only full stream I’ve watched was Mario Party because it had JoCat, RTGame, and Ray Narvaez Jr.

No LLM can do this properly. Diffusion models might. Huge asterisk on “might.”

Not even a sci-fi ultrabrain is gonna bang out a game from a three-word description, character by character, in order. There’s a hierarchy of structure that has to get filled-in. LLMs are frankly witchcraft for how often they can guess they’ll satisfy a right-brace, three thousand words in the future, and then actually do it.

Diffusion models can go ‘and here’s a function that does mumble mumble’ and then get around to it on another loop.

… damn, these results are shockingly good, for a robot being given several English sentences. For zero human effort being put in - these models reproduced all the basic functionality of the game in question? Any of these would pass for clones on calculators or Win95 shareware. People have lost lawsuits over Pac-Man knockoffs this close. I’m sure they play like crap, but so did many human efforts, in the decade after it came out.

Isn’t computers writing code how Terminator starts?

No, it’s flying autonomous killing machines. So what Palmer Luckey’s been doing since Facebook bought out Oculus. Different branch of this particular capitalist hellscape.

Presumably it’s Scandinavian, son of the Dickins… so her family was known for Dickins all around.

That’s how Dalton killed Benicio del Toro.

Relevant XKCD.

I’m picturing The Jesus meeting that one neighbor.

I’m pretty sure the quote is from that webcomic, but it would have been across three panels.

Honestly the single-panel version works at least as well.

… A Softer World?

Like a co-op NPC?

… oh no. Clippy is back.

I don’t think the first three Matrix films are color-graded. The first one for sure is merely tinted. The process doesn’t seem to exist before O Brother, Where Art Thou. At least it wasn’t applied to whole films.

But yeah, Mad Max gets a pass for being all desert and sky. When someone has mango skin and key-lime eyes in a Miss Marple episode, fuck off.

This needed more time to cook. It should be a spider opening the door, and the light from outside revealing previous victims, which the fly is now looking at. “Come into my parl-- oh shoot, I should’ve tidied.”

They’ll glom onto any super smart asshole character and pretend that’s what Elmo is like.

They sure don’t. Fascists are immune to irony.

… why would it not work as-is?
