There absolutely needs to be a penalty for even trying bullshit like this. Maybe disbarring whatever lawyer thought it was a remotely good idea will send a message

But the game is running on a computer with the emulator which still strongly lends to it being software

The last instructions I had involved downloading an older version of the Kindle desktop app to grab the books, and I couldn’t find that one except on style rather sketchy looking sites that I didn’t trust running executables from.

This looks like it might be a more effective solution. Thanks!

Most of the newer laptops I’ve picked up some have hardware switches, but they do have a physical shutter that can be flipped over the camera which IMO is better as I can visibly see the camera is blocked

Does that still work? Last time I tried I had no luck

Well obviously the restaurants should all just feel extremely gifted that such a prestigious person was gracing their establishment

/s but that’s probably their thought pattern

Well it does mention the Hezbollah hiding among civilians without any notation there, so it kinda reads like “how dare these crazies fire at the terrorists hiding behind civilian shields” (without noting the terrorist part and kinda brushing over the civilian shields).

Both sides are pretty despicable in this conflict

Yeah. I should have said “illusions of” an expert system or something similar. An LLM can for example produce decent working code to meet a given request, but it can also spit out garbage that doesn’t work or has major vulnerabilities. It’s a crap shoot

I also wonder what the fuck they’re even looking at the site with. Any modern version of Windows can open PDF’s without needing to install additional software. If they’re using Mac’s I’m not sure, but given that Office similarly would need to be installed to open a Word doc I’m pretty sure they could also install a PDF reader at that point …

It’s interesting that they call the Israeli government psychos and not those hiding behind civilians in a residential neighborhood… especially given that the letter behavior is specifically done to be able to make accusations of the former.

Except that the ability to communicate is a very real skill that’s important for many jobs, and ChatGPT in this case is the equivalent to an advanced version of spelling+grammar check combined with a (sometimes) expert system.

So yeah, if there’s somebody who can actually write a good introduction letter and answer questions on an interview, verses somebody who just manages to get ChatGPT to generate a cover and answer questions quickly: which one is more likely going to be able to communicate well:

• with co-workers
• in a crisis,
• without potentially providing sensitive data to a third-party tool
• While providing reliable answers based on fact without “hallucinating”

Don’t get me wrong, it can even the field for some people in some positions. I know somebody who uses it to generate templates for various questions/situations and then puts in the appropriate details, resulting in a well-formatted communication. It’s quite useful for people who have professional knowledge of a situation but might have lesser writing ability due to being ESL, etc. However, that is always in a situation where there’s time to sanitize the inputs and validate the output, often choosing from and reworking the prompt to get the desired result.

In many cases it’s not going to be available past the application/overview process due to privacy concerns and it’s still a crap-shoot on providing accurate information. We’ve already seen cases of lawyers and other professionals also relying on it for professional info that turns out to be completely fabricated.

It is possible for both sides to be bad. In fact, I’d say it’s pretty common with the retaliation and escalation being “justified” by one side in reaction to what was done by another, resulting in forever-conflicts where stoked by individuals who personally benefit from such.

In most cases those supporting one or the other never acknowledge that though.

I’m other words, Hezbollah is garbage. Hamas is garbage. The Israeli government is largely garbage. The fervent supporters of the above that keep them in power… also garbage.

Honestly, if this ever really happened it would be one thing that actually might make me want to see such a rally.

I always looked Galaxy Quest’s take on this:

“But the pig-beast is inside out… and now it has exploded.”

Meh. Even small corps often do something well once and then fall to the wayside.Nintendo has been pretty good at recreating their core IP, whether it’s the 3D version of Metroid on GC or open-world Zelda on Switch.

If they’d actually bought out the Palworld IP (assuming that was an available option) that would have meant cash for the devs and a way to work with it in a way that was unique but inclusive to the Pokemon franchise. A lot of people are getting tired of the latter because it has become rather stagnant, but the new mechanics with the official Pokemon characters/stats/etc could have benefitted both

Nintendo doesn’t do that though. They don’t go “wow, this looks cool and there’s real interest. Maybe we could work with the dev and make it an official product. They’ve done most of the work already!” It’s lawsuits all the way

Yeah ya’ll laugh until the wolves with spotlights come ;-)

This just in: car impacts with deer down by 50%, but deer becoming a snack to wolves at night is up 100%

Roger, disregarding :-)

Yeah, a bank isn’t going to give your a $500k mortgage on a $200k property, so if they give you a $500k loan on stock then that’s the value given to the stock at that point.

And hopefully something that they’ll be able to find reams of prior art that precede the patent
