I have been playing my new PS3 when my family are away because my wife criticized me for gaming (in addition to everything else). I've got a ton of excellent games loaded and waiting. Today I played Ninja Gaiden Σ. It's very well done. Love the vibe. So Japanese. Took me about 10 tries to beat...

Venture capital is evil too and the EU wishes it had more.

My friend doesn't have a playstation anymore because he thinks the PS5 doesn't have many good games. How can this be? I know that PS1/2/3 each had tons of great, unique games. But I kinda agree, the PS4 doesn't inspire me. One explanation is that since games are getting so expensive to produce...

Oh you're a biker... you fly your own flag, have your own vices and cartels. Your own sect. That's cool. We don't care if you're stinky, weird and zooted on amphetamine. Just don't hurt anyone :cool:

Doom OST is good. Quake is NiN:

This is exactly what my (professional) artist friend said - it's all about human taste. The context was electronic music. Consider John Lennon, universally praised a creative genius but if you ask him he's just plagiarizing Chuck Berry. Didn't the woke movement backfire? It's viewed as selfish...

This is really cool I love synths and want to use my pyra for midi things.

The only thing I know is I know nothing. I have theories because I enjoy discourse, I guess. I am not fanatical about my pov. I don't really believe in science. It works for us but F=MA is not a "law" that the natural world obeys it's simply a relationship that allows us to predict things...

What do you mean at all? Some people have free will and some don't?? Ha ha ha. I agree with that :cool: From our perspective we have free will. From a cosmic perspective not so much. If you knew the position and velocity of every particle in the Universe at a point in time you could compute...

I think creativity is a mechanical process but we're too dumb to comprehend so we think it's creative.

Hey, don't get me wrong. I'm not a righteous tech bro who thinks computers are the answer to everything. All I'm saying beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I went to a Jesuit university and took philosophy courses where I had prove that humans are different than other animals due to our...

I believe the essence of information retrieval, reasoning and creativity are blurred. Simple example, a long time ago perl could generate rather evocative haiku's. Beautiful poems based on word lists and randomization. I more or less concluded that they seemed creative and perception is...

Mark Zuckerberg says there’s ‘no causal connection’ between social media and teen mental health -> shameless asshole http://web.archive.org/web/20240925184930/https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/25/24254044/mark-zuckerberg-meta-social-media-teen-mental-health 1727381198 oh... if not now, in the...

@Djoga'Ro they call them hallucinations but a more accurate term is bullshitting. To probe the breadth of knowledge I'll ask them to list the albums of a semi-obscure bands. All the AI's except chatGPT often reply with completely incorrect titles. Do they know they are bullshitting? Presumably...

If i ask her - I mean it! - what the coolest ps3 games are is the response scanned fact or conjecture?

I've been blown away by AI again. You can download pseudo-open models from the usual suspects and run them locally using ollama. I'm starting with the smaller models because they are faster and am ffff amazed at how much knowledge can be crammed into 5GB. I keep asking the smaller llama3.1 with...
