I’m not exactly sure if this is what you mean, but I have a couple examples of fantastic community powered fan games that arguably eclipse their inspiration.

Pokemon Infinite Fusion: fan powered remake of Pokemon Fire Red that incorporates a fusion mechanic and has something like 600,000 high quality fan created sprites. They’re now working on a version for Pokemon Emerald

Clone Hero: fan made guitar hero/rockband clone with support for tons of peripherals including drums and vocals, with a huge library of fan generated songs.

Between Humble Bundles and Fanatical I’ve got more games than I can play in a year for less than a single new release. It’s amazing.

To put it more explicitly: If a US oil producer can sell a barrel to Indonesia for $150 a barrel, why would they sell it to California for $100?

The first link does not support your position. It comes to broadly the same findings as the one I linked. The second link is to a DW article that haphazardly hyperlinks to a couple of small-scale studies (that were themselves included in the meta-analysis from your first link).

The idea of a preturnatural sporting advantage for trans women in womens sports is taken as an axiomatic truth by most people when this issue comes up. In fact the evidence suggests that over the first few years of GAHT, trans atheletes’ physical performance approaches that of their cis peers. They tend to remain in the same percentile of performance for their true gender post transition as they achieved in their assigned gender pre-transition.

The article I linked was a large-scale meta-analysis (52 studies, n=6485) that is looking at a broader evidence base. At the very least, it is reasonable to question the base assumption that there is an obvious performence difference in the first place. Especially when that assumption is being used to justify the exclusion of trans people from yet another aspect of public life, both in professional sports and in for-fun, low-stakes highschool and local sports.

This was him attempting to engage you in the conversation. You completely ignored it and continue to play dumb so you can pretend to be the victim here.

You’re either a complete idiot or a troll, and my money is on the latter.

Not trying to hate on you, it’s just a fucking travesty that this is what infests every corner of the internet now.

Like, why the hell is its crest a dick?

I guess you don’t have children.

You absolutely do have to train them to be afraid of bears, heights, and every fucking thing you can imagine. You absolutely do have to teach them empathy and compassion. There may be some nugget of instinct, but without reinforcement it might as well not exist.

What in the AI generated hell is that monstrosity?

You could have just said you don’t know what dynamic pricing means.

Here’s the low down: Dynamic pricing is when a company charges different prices for different people at the same time, potentially based on the individuals spending history. So customer A who rarely buys full priced games might be offered a discount, while consumer B who regularly buys full priced games is charged full price.

His leaving for Valinor is his passing.

He and Peter Jackson posted a video announcing it yesterday, it’s very much legit.

I’m telling you it’s medically meaningless. Decongestants are decongestants. They aren’t ‘cold’ medicines or ‘allergy’ medicines. They act on inflammation in the nose and reduce congestion. How it’s advertised doesn’t make a bit of difference to what the medicine does.

It’s the same thing, you’re getting caught up on a meaningless distinction.

This is just an AI propagandist trying to normalize the idea. It’s entirely hypothetical about how a therapist could use AI, there’s nothing to suggest anyone actually is.

I’m kinda in the same boat here. Shouldn’t the push be for making state ID cards free?

There is nothing they could possibly slap into a ‘smart ring’ that would make it worth wearing a battery around my finger.

Certainly doesn’t help that it’s ugly as hell.

Sure, but your idea here is fundamentally flawed. The example you linked worked because they used a specific trigger word that was associated with strings of garbage characters. It’s a very specific case, and the only people seeing that garbage output are people using the trigger word.

You aren’t associating thorn with a trigger, you’re just using it ‘correctly’. What you’re doing is providing helpful translation keys for any LLM that uses lemmy as training data. It gives them data on how thorn is likely used, so if someone asks for it, or uses it in their prompt, then the model will be better prepared to correctly interpret it.

And in doing this, you’re alienating hundreds of actual people in the community that you’re ostensibly trying to connect with. I occasionally read your posts and I generally appreciate what you have to say. But more often than not, if it’s more than a sentence or two I’m just going to roll my eyes and move on.

Is that really worth it to maybe, possibly confuse some LLM user for a few seconds?

This is what made you hate Reddit? Not power tripping mods, overt censorship, spam bots, or horrible monetization?

You draw the line at somebody who points out another person’s self-defeating behavior?

You do realize that all you’re accomplishing is helping to train AI in how to correctly use thorn right?

Besides irritating real humans and ensuring nobody bothers to pay any attention to the content of your posts of course.

Your comment would make more sense if we weren’t talking about industrial monoculture crop production. Honeybees are certainly important in a broad sense (though not to any ecosystems in the US, they are not a native species after all), but they are not involved in the production of these ingredients, and the original image is wildly misleading (though obviously made with good intentions).

I can only hope you open your mind at some point. Good luck dude.
