I’m still bitter at Steam for taking a bunch of my single-player games off me that I’d already paid for when I moved to another country, and refusing to refund me because I’d already played 10 hours. Also the support guy treated me like I was a criminal for even trying.

Where are those numbers from? They disagree with https://shotonwhat.com/skyfall-2012 . The IMAX release was done as a film print, which likely wasn’t made from the regular HD cut.

state controlled media is very bad

Hard disagree: if there’s one thing we’ve seen over the many decades, BBC News for all its various stumbles has done a good job of setting a high bar for all the commercial news TV in the UK.

Just compare it to the absolute trainwreck that is US TV news media. Sky News for example is a Murdoch station just like Fox News, and yet they don’t have even a fraction of the amount of crazy on there because the British people have come to expect their news presenters to act like adults and make at least some attempt at impartiality.

Even if you don’t like the BBC’s output, you still get the benefit from its effect on the independents, and it’s not like anyone’s forcing you to watch it.

Funny you mention it, because I was thinking of going back and reading all the Dilbert strips I missed out on after Scott Adams went mask-off racist. Am I allowed?

(edit: LOL, looks like a moot point, I tried going there just now and the server doesn’t seem to be running)

Now you’re doubling down and being a snobby cunt. Looks like I shouldn’t have bothered trying to phrase things diplomatically after all. Blocked

Posting questions and then complaining that the answers aren’t good enough for you, is what I would, at my most diplomatic, call ungracious behaviour. You had the option of just scrolling past.

My student days:

Curry Super Noodles

After draining most of the water crack an egg in there and give it a small stir, also add small tin tuna and some frozen sweetcorn

Tip into a bowl and drown in Sweet Chili Sauce

Easy to make, only dirties one pan, has pretty much all the nutrients you need. Corresponds to no known world cuisine so name it whatever you want.

15 years ago I’d have called this a conspiracy theory given how the evidence seems to be anecdotal, but given literally every single other thing we’ve learned in recent times about how cartoonishly evil and lying the tech bros truly are, it seems entirely likely.

China was spying on me in case I had any useful state secrets. America is spying on me because they are actively exploiting every data point in my life for profit and control.

And yet my LinkedIn is still full of people complaining about how much the EU over-regulates

Video sharing is not a technically difficult problem in 2026. It really is just about making the money work.

IP bans are ineffective against anyone who isn’t a 13yo using their parents’ WiFi.

The hash proves which bytes the answer was grounded in, should I ever want to check it. If the model misreads or misinterprets, you can point to the source and say “the mistake is here, not in my memory of what the source was.”.

Eh. This reads very much like your headline is massively over-promising clickbait. If your fix for an LLM bullshitting is that you have to check all its sources then you haven’t fixed LLM bullshitting

If it does that more than twice, straight in the bin. I have zero chill any more.

That’s… not how any of this works…

How does having a key solve anything? Its not that the source doesn’t exist, it’s that the source says something different to the LLM’s interpretation of it.

I haven’t tried this tool specifically, but I do on occasion ask both Gemini and ChatGPT’s search-connected models to cite sources when claiming stuff and it doesn’t seem to even slightly stop them bullshitting and claiming a source says something that it doesn’t.

They’re not the only company doing it. Whole thing is dodgy AF.

AI slop with the audacity to block anyone with Privacy Badger enabled, like, “we worked hard to produce this AI slop so we deserve to make money scraping your personal data”

(edit: oh wait, I just noticed you meant OP’s summary. Yeah, blatant slop, get to fuck OP)

Literally every post they make is going to have a thousand people telling them to go fuck themselves

it doesn’t quite “land” as impactfully in English as it probably does in your native language

Nono, it’s definitely a thing in English. Used to be the dropdown options on some dating sites. Or so I gather.
