grad school has chewed up my soul, half-digested it, then barfed it back up right at my feet (she/her)

Oh my god I just wrote an email and it sounds like ChatGPT.

What have I become?

Playing as one, it's frustrating that you can't declare wars without manually getting rid of your holdings.

Playing against one, it becomes a huge pain if they become vassalized or join a federation.

I watched The Wild Robot.

Absolutely beautiful. Great use of symbolism, and it expertly handled the theme of motherhood. It's a feminine movie in a way princess films often aren't.

Bonus points for making me cry.

I should watch Arcane, on the animation front. Feeling cautious about the new HTTYD.

To be fair, this is one of those few games where it's more ethical to pirate it anyway

Yeah, could be it. Streaming takes up a lot of bandwidth

No idea. Just my troubleshooting instincts kicking in. If it happens on two different networks (same device), it's the device. If it happens on two devices (same network), it's the network.

If it's the network and you have fibre, it could be your router being funky?

Could just be your own connection? If every website's doing it. Best test is to just switch between wifi/data and see if it's better on one of em.

The state of healthcare in Alberta, Christ.

Collected a sample for a test at my doctor's clinic. She told me that the lab doesn't pick up Friday samples anymore. If I want the results sooner than Monday, I need to drive there to drop it off myself.

Those days matter if I need antibiotics. WTAF.

Unfortunately, after giving this a go last night, it looks like this still doesn't actually work. πŸ’€

Ah well, time to make a bug report and move on...

The way I handled the economy on this run was horrible, anyway. The Krithakkan will rise... Not today, but someday.

Maybe... If "rework" means scrapping it and abstracting it into bombardment, so I'll never need to build another army again.

Anyone else like to work through lists by eliminating the first and last entries in sequence?

I write tests this way too. My teachers probably think I'm weird. Not that they're wrong.

Yo that's cool!

Is it a threat to an industry that has never had to face automation like this before? Ohhh yeah. But I think people will always value individual artists as humans.

And everyone is equally threatened. Creatives, white collar office workers, and janitors. We need to band together.

For real!!

Then there's the other side, where if you don't think AI is inherently evil, artistic communities will vilify you.

Which I understand from a plagiarism/job loss perspective. But personally, I like GPTs as a tool to review my work or bounce ideas. A rubber ducky that talks back.

Thank you!

I'm not big brain enough/don't have enough resources to develop huge neural networks...

But there's gotta be consideration for how we can responsibly use such models to empower users, rather than control them.

We're looking at baby AI now, it's only going to get more capable from here.

#stellaris dev diary today makes me pretty darn happy. This is how a game should be run.

Also, finally, cyborg clone ascendants.

Now I just gotta resist the urge to play while I stare at my pile of marking ....
