About a month ago i asked gpt to draw ascii art of a butterfly. This was before the google poem story broke. The response was a simple

But i was imagining ascii art in glorious bbs days of the 90s. So, i asked it to draw a more complex butterfly.

The second attempt gpt drew the top half of a complex butterfly perfectly as i imagined. But as it was drawing the torso, it just kept drawing, and drawing. Like a minute straight it was drawing torso. The longest torso ever... with no end in sight.

I felt a little funny letting it go on like that, so i pressed the stop button as it seemed irresponsible to just let it keep going.

I wonder what information that butterfly might've ended on if i let it continue...

Im with you here. Content on lemmy isnt great... it mostly all falls under the same 5 or so themese.

But the comment section is wonderful everywhere ive been.

Lets not take this time for granted.

I can only hope your enter key is currently in the shop.

The Chainsaw in Doom 2

No it doesn't.

How is the VR Mod listed? Does it use other trademarks/copyrights to advertise or sell this product?

Cyberpunk 2077 VR Mod

Or is it listed generically as VR Framework Mod for games.

This was my first thought too. Seemed like an ad when I first saw this story like a week or so ago.

According to recent research, yes.

But research is lacking in the retention of skills and knowledge once the gamification is removed.

Does Duolingo create life long learners, or is it just something to pass the time and feel good about getting a score streak.

My theory is almost all Duolingo users would quit learning if Duolingo went away tomorrow and everyone has to restart at 0 on a new app/service.

Would post office work better for US?

How's that strategy working out for you? For us?

Unfortunately "don't give them money" doesn't work. Bc commerce is global due to internet. There will always be uninformed buyers in every product space. And always buyers who don't care.

My solution, posts like this. We should be informing others of these practices and discussing ways to bypass, repair, or disable blocks and unintended behavior on the products and services we purchase.

I wish for this so much too. Like everything in the world, once your thing is marketed and has main stream appeal, it's gone.

And we cant go back. I want to so much, but we cant. Because even good people have that nagging part of their mind that says "why am I doing this for free".

I agree completely and believe it's an issue for people with disabilities too. Hopefully more and more people are taking notice and speaking out. I bet good videos help raise awareness too!

This was amazing. Thank you. Sent this to a friend who is a gazillionaire in FF14.

The game developers took multiple visits to my planet

Can you share more about this part? I never played NMS, so how does that work? How did you know they were visiting? What did they do when they were there? Kinda cool you were noticed for your efficiency!

Maybe you got the ban so one of the moderator's cronies could post the same joke and reap all the karma for themselves!

Just wanted to say thank you for writing this. Very cool take, that was so well written to get us on board for how and why "that old junk" has personality that is being lost.

Damn.

I'm one of those. If it were true you'd get targeted ads for everything your phone hears from TV too.

The the Angels Angels

I'm waiting for when these companies that the US built leave and take up residence with new hot authoritarian countries

This is my first time seeing this theory. Kinda interesting take.

Why would the companies leave, rather than just expanding into those authoritarian countries? I guess... Why not both?

And circus!

Hope you are right.

But really the Save icon will become: ✨

I'd add hating on Hawaiian Pizza into this list.

Irony!
