This entire thread is just Werewolf the Apocalypse in a nutshell lmao.

The concept of the game boils down to eco-terrorist werewolves getting mad and tearing the billionaires, factories, and the elementary school class that had a kid accidentally litter to shreds.

X4 doesn't have quite as good lore imo, but for me it really scratches my eve itch without having to go back to that mmo. I think it's the interconnected economy of the sandbox.

I was a bit worried the new content would be so regionally specific as to be uninteresting outside of the region. I should have had more faith in Tom Scott, this was damn interesting and a good start on the new series!

Now software architecture on the other hand? Oh boy Claude Opus and the rest suck ass at that.

My own experience has been that if you have relatively isolated discrete chunks of code it works pretty well, and it's really nice at reviewing as well. Just unleashing it on a code base and you'll end up with a massive mess.

I ordered some alcohol online because I couldn't find the brand of rum I was looking for locally. They did some age verification before I could order, same that I could have encountered in a grocery store.

Of course they just got sent a token and not a photo id which changes the calculus some. I'm against trusting random websites with personal information, not an age block on its own.

The moon changes phases all the time. Perhaps Luna is gender fluid.

There is a bit of a difference between shutting out every other opinion on everything and taking some perhaps extreme steps to avoid having to deal with annoying people in a game famous for having a lot of annoying people.

It's some kids making a video that pokes fun of their would-be conquerors. Yeah it's distasteful, I agree. It's also hilarious to start tone policing scared kids facing threats of invasion for insulting those who want to attack them.

Apparently insulting is a step too far for American sensibilities.

Might sound cold, but this is really just a Darwin award. Yeah, the guardrails also suck, but what a dumbass.

I doubt that. A lot of the poor writing quality comes down to choice. All the most powerful models are inherently trained to be bland, seek harmony with the user, and generally come across as kind of slimy in a typically corporate sort of way. This bleeds into the writing style pretty heavily.

A model trained specifically for creative writing without such a focus would probably do better. We'll see.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_Wikipedia Wikipedia disagrees with you, although I do think it depends a lot on the level of education you're at. In academia you rarely want tertiary sources if primary sources are available.

It turns into a game of telephone where you're forth in line when you could just as well be second in line, since Wikipedia recommends using secondary sources for its articles.
