You just explained how it is a problem inherent to most LLMs. Most spammers aren’t able or willing to train a model.

Every large hosted LLM drones on and on. It helps them land on the correct answer more often. And they always return to the mean of their training even with prompting. Try telling a model not to reply with “Sure thing!” or some other shit and it’ll do it anyway. Far easier to just cut that shit out.

LLMs ramble unless you stop them forcefully. That can lead to partial sentences that need to be cleaned up.

Think it’s probably a bug in the script they’re running. It’s cleaning one character too many off the end.

I get enough of this from my glasses, thanks.

Oh man, I’ve done the opposite and slammed the forklift into reverse when going to turn.

Enjoy your grovelling, I hear there’s cake!

Not biased at all.

As evidenced by the sepia tone, 4o is clearly editing the images. It’s a tell that will surely be fixed, but there’s no reason to believe any other online only model isn’t doing the same. They can generate as many images as they want before sending it to you. I assumed earlier versions were batching a bunch and sending you the best, now they’re likely doing that then editing it as well.

At first I thought you just didn’t give a shit. Now I just think you’re a coward.

It would deflect off the atmosphere like a stone

My parent’s have this fork with dull teeth. Can’t even pick up salad. Fuck that thing.

That sounds exactly like Amnesia. There are no HUD elements, health is buried in your inventory. Sanity is displayed by obscured vision and hallucinations. The only real options you have to beat a creature that spots you is to hide and hope it didn’t see which way you went. It’s quite slow paced and reading/listening to the notes provides the narrative along with puzzle hints. There are no weapons, but by being clever you can avoid a monster or block a door long enough to escape. It is rather “western” styled though, but more along the lines of HP Lovecraft than a Hollywood zombie movie or Deadspace for example. There are some jumpscares but they are absolutely terrifying only because of what lurks around the corner, a creature you hope to never get a good look at. I do recommend it.

Curious on your opinion on Amnesia The Dark Descent. Especially if you played it near it’s release. I think a good first person survival horror can exist without any combat at all. I suppose there’s that Alien game with similar gameplay that was a little more mainstream as well.

I think a fixed camera can make it feel cinematic, but a player controlled camera wins for immersion.

I think a slightly more insidious side to targeting ads is that even when they have the “right” product for you, it’s the shitier and overpriced one. The one that spent money on marketing instead of quality.

Had to take a shit

There were also fixed camera games with some horrible designs. Resident Evil was one that I remember. There’s tradeoffs for developers. Fixed camera means you can make it look better having to only worry about one perspective and you could bake-in a lot more fidelity. A movable camera in a tight space is complex to design around and even modern games have issues in tight spaces. Back then, nearly every game was in tight spaces.

This guy has such a massive ego that he fears introspection. So much of his shit is projection that he’ll never realise.

The most glaring issue with their healthcare or other benefits is that the decision to have those things at all comes down to one party or even one man. That means there is nothing at all stopping those things from being taken away on a whim.
