A good example of how legality and morality are simply not the same thing.

High five from a fellow poly person! 🖐️

Yeaaaah, that’s not being polyamorous. There’s no amour anywhere near this group. Just somebody (or somebodies) who wants to manipulate a vulnerable victim.

There are plenty of great poly people out there who won’t try to steal your money or control your body.

Gotta kill billionaires then. Blowing up poor people is highly inefficient.

You can get almost anything on a payment plan these days, no matter how small. There are platforms that do it natively.

It’s worse even than that. The server software (released by Anthropic) that lets an AI connect to a web service has a critical arbitrary remote code execution bug. So if you even let an AI connect to you, you’ve now allowed anyone to access your whole server.

There is no excuse for this other than wild incompetence.

Laser marking seems so obvious to me, no waste, no input materials. I wonder if that reduces sales though.

Yep, multiple sprites layered is the right way to do this, one sprite per equipment item. That’s the normal way to approach this problem.

Unless you are rendering literally thousands of characters at the same time, you should not reach any performance bottlenecks from this approach. If you are rendering that many characters at once, you might need to build a custom shader to handle it.

But the important thing in gamedev is to keep things as simple as possible. Implement everything in the most obvious way you can. I think the solution you described is very good.

Not surprising, running Anthropic’s implementations of anything is inviting a whole class of vibe-coded security holes.

I’m strongly against age verification, but goddamn if there was ever a shithole that needed it, it would be Roblox.

Maybe that’s the long way of saying I’m strongly against Roblox.

Remember folks, it’s always easier to break something than to build it. That’s why morons like Trump are so successful.

Thousands of bees? That’s less than one tenth of a single hive.

Israel is quickly destroying the decades of preferential treatment they’ve carefully cultivated. What an embarrassing own goal.

As long as the complexity doesn’t hurt the durability, it should be fine

We believe the class of safeguards in use today sufficiently reduce cyber risk enough to support broad deployment of current models

Bahahaha, are they serious? It’s trivial to jailbreak any production LLM

Might be nicer to use a sharp rock, methinks.

There’s no zero option though, I just checked. Apparently that’s coming soon.

Imagine being the most wealthy country in the world, moving your manufacturing out of the country, rebuilding your economy around R&D, then cutting funding to your education and research organizations. It’s absolutely insane. There’s nothing left in the US to keep its relevance.

The point was to post a picture of the AI slop, not to get a working PCB.
