“permanently” …sure!

I’ve had Meniere’s Disease since I was 17, and the tinnitus comes with it at no extra cost. Thirty five years on and all I can say is you just learn to cope. Some days it’s louder and some days you don’t register it despite it being a constant. It’s tough at the start, but take some comfort in knowing you’ll adapt. There are plenty of people out there who’ve gone through what you’ve experienced, so you’ve already got a support community.

I actually managed to complete this evening! Thank phuck. Now I just have to beat Lace again 🥺

Currently for me it’s the Silksong Choral Chambers gauntlet. It’s been about 5 months. I can get to the last two Sentinals, only as of last night, but fail. It’s taken that long as I give up, don’t play for a week, then go off exploring other areas.

I’m not sure how you got that I don’t appreciate history from my comment. That’s some amazing mental gymnastics. You get a cookie.

I can’t see teenagers and 20-somethings going, “What I really want is a laptop that runs software from the 90s.”

Rovo made it easier for me to find things that search was quite useless at finding. I found no other benefits to Rovo.

They paid people good money to design and crate that.

I have it on good authority there is a 5th element. I saw it in a documentary. It’s … perfect.

For me it was The Amytiville Horror (1979). I still can’t look out of a window at night and not think of seeing eyes. I didn’t see the film until I was about 11, so mid 80s.

Hell yeah!

Do I have to be profound when I make a comment that is taking more of a dig at my fellow space rock companions than at AI itself?

If I do, then I feel like the author of the article either has as much faith in humanity as I do, or is as simple as I was alluding to in my original comment. The fact that they need to dehumanise the AI’s responses makes me think they’re forgetting it’s something we built. AI isn’t actually intelligent, and it worries me how many people treat it like it is—enough to write an article like this about it. It’s just a tool, maybe even a form of entertainment. Thinking of it as something with a mind or personality—even if the developers tried to make it seem that way—is kind of unsettling.

Let me know if you would like me to write thiis more formal, casual, or persuasive. 😜

Can we say that AI has the potential for “intelligence”, just like some people do? There are clearly some very intelligent people and the world, and very clearly some that aren’t.

This. Your faith is presented as normal when growing up in religious family. As you get older, there is opportunity to question those beliefs and, for some people, you realise those beliefs are mental and insane.

Is that “all stops”, as in they will get rid of that guy who very definitely did a Nazi salute?

Closet Nazi.

No row houses, so definitely not the UK.

There was definitely resistance from the young guy. It just didn’t make my story. The police in the country where I’m from have a much higher standard of engagement with people. Their actions we well justified.

At a concert and saw the police approach and start questioning a young drunk guy (out doors, before show started). They basically said he had to leave on account of being too intoxicated and he started getting mouthy. I’ve never seen the police react so quickly the moment he finished saying, “My dad is a top class expensive lawyers and he’ll have your asrses for this” - he was in the ground and handcuffed within seconds. In the next few seconds he was back on his feet and being escorted to the paddy wagon.

I was sitting in the room while my friend’s dad was having a argument with his horrible dad. The horrible dad threatened to write him out of his will, and my friend’s dad respond, “Why do you think I’d want 1/6th of fuck all anyway?”

I wouldn’t be so blunt with my mother about things, but every time she talks about inheritance I encourage her to just spend the money on herself. Anything will be spilt between 7 kids overall (3 hers, 4 my late step dad). She is holding on to an expensive ring because my very well off, money hungry sister, has basically demanded it, so I’m working behind the scenes to try get her to sell it so she can invest in making her last few years that much easier.
