[lavish blade]

tank mod in half sword

[ember moss]

that is awesome

[untold wraith]

Do you release these mods to the public?

Also how in the genuine fuck did you manage to get a tank into the game

[lavish blade]

it's a wip but i'll release it once i get it working

tons of logic

[untold wraith]

What about the gun

[untold wraith]

I understand none of this

Impressive for sure though

[lavish blade]

i don't think even an experienced person can infer anything from this from this zoom

[untold wraith]

Lol

[lavish blade]

it's out

[lavish blade]

i mean all it is is a overengineered movement + shooting system that i summon in with a weapon

[untold wraith]

What does it shoot and does it damage willie

Because no way you're getting bullets to be fired

[lavish blade]

for the side guns, it just does a "multi line trace", essentially it draws a line and it gets all the things that the line hits, and if willie is one or more of them, it deals damage to each willie

[lavish blade]

the main cannon shoots a huge missile that explodes and kills every willie in a 8 metre radius i think

the tech is still very new and innovative, so it has alot to work on

[lavish blade]

do u have steam link?

[outer sequoia]

yes

[lavish blade]

hi smitor

[untold wraith]

I might download ts

Where the link

[blazing lodge]

so, hitscan basically

[lavish blade]

it's a box trace atp

[outer sequoia]

unfortunately gun only works through player one's hands, and the fire key is going to be the same for both (as only one has keyboard)

if there was a way to use gamepad to fire that would be great

[lavish blade]

i know

sad emoji

[outer sequoia]

or add another fire key for player to like k

[teal narwhal]

Its what happens when you leave debug trace to 5 seconds and js spam the button to summon the plane

[outer sequoia]

then player 2 could have keyboard perms

[outer sequoia]

sure you host or I?

[lavish blade]

oh ok i thought you were casting a line trace every tick

[lavish blade]

me let me

i wanna show u awesome sauce

@pearl coral I think I've mentioned the tournament event im going to.

I read through the warning orders today and realised I'm In way over my fucking head lmao.

Basically it's a private 15th century tournament event with more or less actual tournament rules. About 30-40 people are going I think, including matt Easton and Zachary Evans.
Our chivalry will be judged by noble ladies and we will be fighting in organised bouts.

Fuuuuuck

We also have to stay In purely authentic kit from Friday evening to Sunday evening, no modern stuff on site at all during the whole thing, apart from like, medications.

All given specific roles, for example I'm a squire so I'm expected to act like one the entire time. Authentically.

Without the butt spike the poleaxe is a completely different weapon for me

[frank citrus]

do you guys use very blunt weapons...

[pearl coral]

i dont get to fight with pollax often but when i do im using the buttspike 90% of the time and just threatening with the head

[idle crest]

Idk about very blunt, but they're rarely sharp

[stray moss]

Who is this man that speaks to me as if I needed his advice hmm???

[frank citrus]

how do you guys ensure someone doesnt get hurt????

[idle crest]

Lad there was an event last year where so many people got badly injured. People who think reenactment is risk free have never seen the battle of Evesham.

One woman had her shoulder blade shattered by some wanker doing a downward swing with an arming sword...
She was wearing maille and gambeson

[frank citrus]

😧

[teal narwhal]

how many shins were lost

[idle crest]

Lots of people with destroyed hand bones or elbows because people don't know how to use maces safely

[idle crest]

None, everyone has massive kite shields so all the weapons are aimed high

[frank citrus]

the user or the foe...

[idle crest]

Not the user lol

[stray moss]

If you ain't Buhurtin' are you even trying? HEMA does get some respect though not gonna lie

[pearl coral]

BUHURT SUX!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stray moss]

TAKE IT BACK

Swear to god you take that back right now

[teal narwhal]

rip

[pearl coral]

look this funny picture

[idle crest]

I wouldn't be surprised if the battle of Evesham reenactment was more injury ridden than buhurt ngl.
Most the people I know who did it last year had some sort of injury and a few people in each of the six blocks had to go yo hospital

[frank citrus]

i wish humans made the life serum from people playground so we could murder people in reenactments

[pearl coral]

how do you spend so much money on armor and then not even know how to wear it

[stray moss]

Surely a reenactment of a battle is gonna have injuries, why would you even take part if getting hurt is a problem

[teal narwhal]

https://tenor.com/view/flightreacts-reaction-flight-reacts-flight-reacts-flightreacts-gif-14526489174047821058

[frank citrus]

am i right or am i right

[pearl coral]

btw why does buhurt even have an authenticity committee

[teal narwhal]

atp js time travel to the battle and fight in it yourself

[pearl coral]

are they equally as materially illiterate as buhurt partakers

[idle crest]

It's stupid af. They wear lots of padding to drown out the impact trauma that they wouldn't feel if their armour was well made.

[frank citrus]

the one group of reenactments that dont have this problem is WW2 reenactments and i love them for it

i wish i could take part in one

[pearl coral]

like what standard of authenticity is being used genuinely

[frank citrus]

i dont wanna die tho...

[pearl coral]

every mfer is wearing a 1300s bascinet with a made up visor and then like 1450 legs and arms

[stray moss]

Half the dudes doing ww2 reenactments are neo-nazis lets be real here

[idle crest]

I did a show a few weeks ago, multi period, lots of ww1, ww2 and napoleonic reenactors, those guys don't fuck about

[frank citrus]

full on blanks right

😍

[wanton portal]

wait

would they be doing the nazi's side

[teal narwhal]

no they actually used real bullets and shot everyone

[pearl coral]

gets flagged by authenticity committee for wearing wrong made up visor, complains on facebook

[wanton portal]

or the allies side

[frank citrus]

to be fair some reenactments dont even use blanks cuz blanks can be dangerous at close range

[wanton portal]

is ur pfp ai

[pearl coral]

i've seen one buhurt kit that looks good and one buhurt kit that looks meh. they both suffered from the amount of padding required

[wanton portal]

or some

I'm so stoned

[idle crest]

Probably idk. I can tell you medieval reenactors use actual firearms with actual black powder thoigh, they just put grass or something Instead of a lead ball

[teal narwhal]

its from an older shitty ai that i ran locally for a time

[frank citrus]

oh well thats exactly what a blank is

[wanton portal]

why tho

[stray moss]

You boys better calm this buhurt hatred down or I'm gonna start crying IT'S REAL TO ME DAMNIT

cant be hard to find a pic you like

professional world war reenactments should be done with the real weapons used in the period and the only difference is the ammunition are blanks

[teal narwhal]

yeah thats basically the prompt i put in

[pearl coral]

buhurt final boss

[frank citrus]

HAHA

[wanton portal]

the average KCD armor set in a playthrough

[idle crest]

They have rules on what grade of steel is required, meaning it has to be hardened steel, but they don't realise that if steel has no flexibility or give then it can't fucking absorb blows 😂

Which is why they always moan about how much it hurts, they're wearing massive bells on their limbs and head

[stray moss]

You're just jealous can't you don't have the balls and stamina to wrestlefuck dudes in armor for real

[wanton portal]

wrestlefuck?

[pearl coral]

mfw my ten billion dollar titanium """Griffon Bascinet""" shatters like a plate because it got hit by two people at the same time

[stray moss]

Yeah it's like wrestling and a little sexual at the same time

[idle crest]

Wrong guy to say that to.

[frank citrus]

tbf you wouldnt want to have to deal with dented armour for a reenactment but i wish they did reenactments with free repairs

[pearl coral]

man its going to be such a slog saving up for my doublet and maille and shit

[frank citrus]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-scared-gif-27466237

[idle crest]

Mild steel, which is the soft steel, at 2mm, will not dent to much of anything. They just want light armour so they cheap out on weight

[stray moss]

It's normal don't worry about it

[pearl coral]

cease

[wanton portal]

and desist

[frank citrus]

letter

[pearl coral]

i dont know whether to sell my overlay barbute or decorate it with velvet and pass it on to a friend

[idle crest]

Case hardened steel is where its at. Hard exterior, but then gradients over to soft on the inside so it can absorb blows

[frank citrus]

in that case damn

show and tell

this is kindergarten all over again

[idle crest]

Bugurters use thin steel that's really hard. So it just vibrates and conducts the energy. Softer but thicker steel will absorb it completely

ur right

[pearl coral]

this but with some decorative rivets and burgundy velvet would look neat i think

im not going to be using it anymore come like august so i want to find something to do with it

[frank citrus]

its the same as bike helmets being fragile and car plates being soft

[wanton portal]

you can see with those little holes??

amazing

[pearl coral]

it's a fencing mask

it's just mesh

[wanton portal]

oh

I thought it was part of the helmet

LOL

[frank citrus]

holy tank

[pearl coral]

my mask is painted like a helmet and im wearing it under a real helmet lol

[frank citrus]

thats menacing

[pearl coral]

yeah im big dude

[idle crest]

Yeah but you can get the best of both worlds, case hardening, hard outside edge but blends I soft on the inside, so it won't dent and it also won't hurt

[stray moss]

Bet like 80% of this chat couldn't butthurt even if they wanted to man shit's exhausting, if we wanna talk realism then what's more realistic than just avin a go lad

[frank citrus]

i didnt mean it like that..... im sorry.........

[pearl coral]

the guy i fought was skinny dude but he had way more experience in armor so he got me on the ground a couple times

[teal narwhal]

if a zombie apocalypse happens youre ready

[pearl coral]

no sorries

[idle crest]

Most of the exhaustion is the padding

[stray moss]

Yes cause wraslin without padding is very non-exhaustin

[idle crest]

Armour is easy to fight in if its basically not padded

[indigo hare]

How good friends are you?

[frank citrus]

im legit passing out just standing in mild armour

[pearl coral]

i dont know who i'd give it to

[indigo hare]

If you have no one in mind then just sell it

[warm pebble]

I wished we had a quick right click option

[wanton portal]

Technically a zombie apocalypse is impossible since a dead body would rot over time
Causing it to "die" again

🤓

[frank citrus]

one can only hope

[warm pebble]

I want a walking dead versikn where the zombies all die due to rot after 1 season

[frank citrus]

THATS WHY THEY LOOK LIKE THEY WORK A 9 TO 5

[stray moss]

I once had an idea that I'd be a good kickboxer and was seeing stars from just the damn warmup before sparring

[teal narwhal]

sure but thats assuming theyre dead for that to happen

[warm pebble]

I sometimes wish i could rmb "mend or break bones" some people

[pearl coral]

twisting the axe was a good idea but i was so tired without realizing the extend so i just fell to my knees lmao

[frank citrus]

what do u do now??

[pearl coral]

i have several people in mind

[indigo hare]

Pick one!!!!

At random

Or make them fight over it

[idle crest]

Kinda, I was wearing full plate armour for two days straight about 3 weeks ago for a film set, at the end of it I was doing repeated takes of a scene where me and another knight would wrestle to the floor and fight grounded.

[pearl coral]

man i have so much cool shit that i dont get to have a spin with enough because of all the POORS i fight..

[indigo hare]

Yeah make them fight

[pearl coral]

i need to venture to south carolina STAT

[frank citrus]

buhurt and orchestral music has one thing in common

[stray moss]

I just do sparring with friends now boxing and kickboxing but I used to take it seriously, now I'm just overweight and lazy.

[idle crest]

If a suit of armour is well fitting enough and you have accurate under armour garments then it feels like you're not even wearing anything.

[frank citrus]

not that lazy

Lazy enough to not learn any form of wrestling so I get my shit pushed in at the smell of a grapple

i dont do buhurt v,,,,,\

[stray moss]

This is an assumption that wrestling in itself is not absolutely exhausting steve, no armor or full armor it's incredibly tiring

[frank citrus]

id assume theres still some elitism in buhurt, cuz of the massive price involved in having to buy your gear

im not calling buhurters elitist tho

that would be like calling myself elitist

[frank citrus]

i need this to post when im lurking

[stray moss]

Well you sure sound like someone who don't saying that the exhaustion comes from padding

[frank citrus]

There's no elitism to be had with buburt, they don't do anything better than anyone else

[sage steeple]

Oh you are giving me too much credit

[frank citrus]

i mean elitism in the price sense

like people will shit on you if you cant afford better gear

im still not saying thats all buhurters but id assume a small minority would do it

[idle crest]

Top end buhurt kit is still shit

[frank citrus]

they dont make em like they used to

[wooden musk]

Why

[pearl coral]

they all buy the same gear pretty much

[idle crest]

It's expensive because it's made of hardened steel

It’s actually the exact opposite. It shows how manly and secure you are when you do it with as much body exposure as possible. That’s why the Greeks, the most straight coded society in history, did all that naked

we need to have more realism in fiction and entertainment media

Thats not bad actually

[frank citrus]

EXACTLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[idle crest]

[pearl coral]

[frank citrus]

like realism isnt the decider for good writing but if your writing doesnt incorporate it, its plain bad writing

tolkien spent a very long time laying out the habits of his hobbits

Pretty good armour, could tell it was Henry v just from the armour

[frank citrus]

thats why his writing is peak

[teal narwhal]

"yeah man i dumped powdered sugar and cupcakes on my french fries cuz i accidentally used sweet potatoes instead of regualar ones"

type of logic

[sage steeple]

Yeah, smurfs are written very nicely

[idle crest]

Because there are dragons in this world it suddenly becomes completely unreasonable to expect armour to look functional or make sense.

[frank citrus]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[idle crest]

Somehow fantasy inherently equals low effort

[frank citrus]

i dont want to guarantee anything but if im gonna be a dungeon master im gonna make things so realistic

[sage steeple]

No

[teal narwhal]

fantasy and magic are devices used by lazy writers so they dont need to explain things

[frank citrus]

not always but its usually done wrong

[frank citrus]

usually

itd be cool if someone came up with a magic system that was fair and made sense in the universe

[sage steeple]

What if it is a fantasy world? A world where the entire planet is just copies of me. That would be like an Utopia.

[pearl coral]

that one guy on youtube did

[frank citrus]

i would not be living in that universe

[teal narwhal]

yeah if they explain things in a way that it doesnt just mean "oh yeah it works cuz of magic" then its good

[frank citrus]

who....

[sage steeple]

Of course, it would only be me and my clones. We'd replicate really fast.

[idle crest]

Pretty easy to do, just let peoppe influence the electromagnetic field in obvious ways. That allows for basically any spell if you're creative enough

[frank citrus]

i will consume this and lick the plate afterwards trhank you sam of saturn

[sage steeple]

It is hard to question a fantasy world as it is fiction and unlike our own world, giving the author freedom shape it by breaking the rules of our own world.

[frank citrus]

thats the joke i was going for

[sage steeple]

Maybe in one of our family lines you'd be born.

[frank citrus]

my OC used billions of microscopic drones that he would be able to move around using focused radiowaves and he would practically have the type of magic everyone thinks of

i made him so he has the ability of gradually removing skin off people

[teal narwhal]

call me unethical all you want but ai does a pretty good job at this type of fantasy, i need to find some images i made like it rq

[frank citrus]

im chill with LLM's

[sage steeple]

Not unethical unless you use those images to enter an art contest.

[frank citrus]

yeah honestly id deem any AI art unethical

[indigo hare]

I disagree, fantasy with magic are my favorite genre of stuff to read or watch, and it’s often way more complex and in depth than you imply. Some writers are lazy with it but a good fantasy story has incredible depth in how it’s magic and fantasy works

[sage steeple]

Ai "art"

[idle crest]

Don't even need to do that. Like electromagnetism is already there for you, someone's abilities to do magic is directly influenced by how much they can influence the em field around them

[frank citrus]

would be pretty costly though

he has to move his drones very far away

[idle crest]

Don't need the drones

If you can influence the em field then you don't need em

[sage steeple]

My man. I always felt your thoughts come deep inside of me.

[frank citrus]

oh the drones have abilites on their own like some have LED's so he can use it as signaling or intimidation

man you just dont know with people nowadays

some of the people i've met before have stances on ai that are borderline hysteria

[pearl coral]

hi

[indigo hare]

Itll happen

[indigo hare]

Hey Sam

[frank citrus]

bro is getting the premium first class seat in the decapitation machine

[somber wadi]

[indigo hare]

Im a realist, AI is backed by the worlds wealthiest people. There is literally no stopping it, no matter how much you lament or hate AI

[somber wadi]

Been unplayable since release

[sage steeple]

Use bald men

[somber wadi]

Okie dokie

[teal narwhal]

honestly the way the wealthy people are pushing ai to go isnt the direction it will end up going

[idle crest]

I guess this is Sci fi but what I saying is like, If a person had true telekinetic powers, as in they could influence the electromagnetic field however they want, they'd be able to replicate almost any spell you can think of and it would make sense scientifically.

[sage steeple]

There is if I raid all those data centre.

[indigo hare]

Ai will get worse for us but better in its technology, it’s only ever gonna get worse for everyday people. I just ride the wave, man

[frank citrus]

i mean the only thing AI will go through is that itll stop being a consumer product and start being used only by employees of deskjobs handling menial tasks

[sage steeple]

It is the way it will end up going. World leaders are more busy in war than fixing proper regulation for a future society.

[indigo hare]

Thats very naive. It’s already being used for surveillance

[frank citrus]

i mean...

[indigo hare]

And war

And like everything else possible

[frank citrus]

ur gonna have to explain more than that cuz you cant summon fireballs with EM

[frank citrus]

and that i guess

but im sure AI wont replace actual human labour

it never will because it makes mistakes and dont know how to fix them as much as humans do

[sage steeple]

AI machines will

[teal narwhal]

honestly my preditction is that it'll evolve like computers did. Everyone was so afriad that computers would take over everything, and they did end up replacing some jobs, but new ones were in turn created anyway. And then people realized computers were good for other things, too

I feel in the coming years we'll move away from "ai generated" and start using "ai assisted"

[frank citrus]

theres just something fundamentally different with their wiring and ours that makes us superior (a study found the human brain uses a different algorithm of learning than AI models do (AI models were modeled after an approximation of human thinking))

[frank citrus]

thats exactly what i mean

[sage steeple]

I would disagree. You need to see intentions behind evolution and evolution itself. There is a reason it is called artifician intelligence. It is not same as computer.

[indigo hare]

Big corporations don’t care about sustainability. If they cared about things like humans being able to purchase the things that the companies make, so they turn a profit in the long run, people would be getting payed way more and treated way better. A happy worker is a hard worker, and the return on investment will always be better long term. But they only care about quarterly profits, Thats what the boards care about so that’s what companies go for.

[frank citrus]

like the .com bubble

[frank citrus]

EXACTLY

[sage steeple]

Labour wise, we are not superior at all to the actual potential of AI

[teal narwhal]

now THIS guy gets it

[pearl coral]

i love dragons dogma 2 because when my pawns piss me off i can slam them against walls like a bully or tackle them

[frank citrus]

thats true, this is correct but the workers will just go up a class and be managers instead

[indigo hare]

Itll go from a workforce of 10,000 people on the line, to 10 people managing robots

[sage steeple]

That's why a strong open source is important

[frank citrus]

itll essentially be the same job just that ur managing AI and seeing if they make mistakes or not, and fixing them on ur own accord

[idle crest]

Yeah you can, although fireballs surpsingly would ve one of the more complicated ones because fire is a chemical reaction. But even then all chemical reactions are mediated through the electromagnetic force and even without that you could basically do the same thing but you throw what is essentially a tiny solarflare-like ripple that burns everything near it.

[frank citrus]

id say 1000 but i totally agree with that

[sage steeple]

But it will be a lot less jobs. Far less jobs.

[teal narwhal]

the potential of ai will not be from LLMs tho. And even then the potential of ai wont be greater than ai AND humans together

[idle crest]

The hardest part about explaining fireballs is rhat fire is usually a byproduct

[indigo hare]

And eventually even the managers will get the boot and a robot will start managing the other robots. We already have totally automated factories today

[sage steeple]

Yeah, but it will still cause enough harm to the society without proper regulations

[frank citrus]

makes sense........

alright ill agree with that

[teal narwhal]

they might replace some like the computer did to those people that would have to manually calculate the total at grocery stores, but when computers did that, the entire field of computer science and software engineering opened up. It balances out in the end

Managers will never get the boot, that's the issue.
I fine with living under an AI's rule, I am not fine with living under the rule of a human controlling that AI.

[frank citrus]

there will be more freelancing instead where people will proofread AI output

[idle crest]

Magic system based on harmonising the left and right hemispheres of the brain and learning how to direct energy using frequency would be massively grounded I reality for a magic system

[sage steeple]

But think like this. We are not replacing typewriter, we are replacing ourselves. WE are the old machines in this case.

It is ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE

[teal narwhal]

Its a new technology that we dont really know the full extent of at the moment, but regualtions are already going into place. You can copyright ai generated images unless you prove they had a significant amount of human involvment in it (aside from a prompt). And there are also now criminal laws surrounding the mis use of ai generated images

[frank citrus]

that would be salivating

i would salivate for that

[teal narwhal]

thats what people said with the computer

and that didnt happen

[indigo hare]

Over all, AI will in the future, put a LOT of people out of work because companies prioritize short term profit over long term. Less people to pay, more money for the company. Eventually, people won’t be able to afford to buy things anymore, but that’s an issue for the future to solve

[sage steeple]

But a global regulation will be required for society wide change. The AI arms race, the desparity in income across the world leading to anarchy. Some obvious laws don't even scratch the surface of what needs to be done already.

[teal narwhal]

oh thats gonna be solved sooner than you think. Companies are using ai becuase any mention of the word ai drives tons of investments and money. Its a bubble and i predict that when openai goes out of buisness a year or two from now is when it'll burst

[frank citrus]

prices will definitely go down until the government just starts giving people money for existing if theres a reality where AI can fully replace human labour and even exceed us

[sage steeple]

Computer and AI are different. Computer was made for better computation. AI is made to replace human labour.

[indigo hare]

Man people have been saying ai is a bubble since it came into the forefront of the public eye, same for crypto. Still around in a huge way, and for ai, only ever improving. A lot of which is done by stealing, by the way.

[frank citrus]

all AI models are called assistants for a reason

[teal narwhal]

thats the flaw in your logic, ai was made and always will be made for better computation. Its just ai can do more abstract thinking that doesnt limit it to numbers

[sage steeple]

I always say, AI is not a bubble.

[frank citrus]

yeah we need better laws abt content protection

[indigo hare]

It wouldn’t matter. Laws are just cost of business for the worlds richest

[sage steeple]

AI is not made for better computation. AI is made from better computation. AI is intelligence made to adapt to human intelligence. And guess why it needs to adapt to human intelligence.

[indigo hare]

Theyre already doing illegal stuff by stealing

[teal narwhal]

I mean yeah thats fair, ai always will be improving but the way people are pushing it is just too much

[hardy mirage]

AI can be good but it's being used for worthless shit

we don't need AI generated "art" and music

[frank citrus]

especially music bro fuck ai music

taking my future job away how DARE you

[sage steeple]

"if you hold the gun, you are making the laws" something like that

[idle crest]

It could give rise to the classic subgroups.

Like spells that deal with cold would almost always center around directing kinetic energy away from something. You could form things out of ice in the air by pulling energy away from the moisture that's I the air.

You could replicate the force from star wars by learning how to harness the magnetic dipole of any atom.

You could fuck with light because light is literally just electromagnetism in its purest form.

You could fuck with lightning and stuff because electricity is half of electromagnetism.

I could go on for ages.

[indigo hare]

Man my whole view on ai is just, fuck it, nothing I can do. Theres no point in worrying about it so I’ll just keep on keeping on until they don’t need my ass anymore and hopefully I’ll be like old enough to die then

[frank citrus]

very true especially the force part

theoretically you can also just mangle people using it

[teal narwhal]

ai is not made to adapt to human intelligence tf? It learns like a human does by recognizing patterns in whatever the ai's purpose is but thats not the same as intelligence

[teal narwhal]

yeah thats going nowhere unless it becomes a tool that creates intruments or smthn

for humans to use

[hardy mirage]

ai has no cognition

[sage steeple]

Music is something very hard to take away from humans. Because AI music is still made by human commands and you need creativity either way to make good music. Although, there will be a lot of slop. But I still don't see any AI music making any top charts.

[indigo hare]

Ai music is mostly trash but I’ve heard a couple songs that are decent enough, or make you wonder if it’s even ai

[hardy mirage]

it's an algorithm, it has no genuine intelligence and is basically just an intricate pattern recognition device

[indigo hare]

I mean to be real, humans make a lot of trash music too

[frank citrus]

i still see it being listened to

my fricking MOM listens to AI music

i want to die

[teal narwhal]

an oversimplification, but yeah this is correct

[frank citrus]

this is true though

anyone who takes themselves seriously would reject AI music

[hardy mirage]

my issue with ai is that people see it as some cure-all for things that don't need solutions

[idle crest]

You can do anything with it. Electromagnetism is pretty much responsive for everything that happens In the universe apart from...

Binding quarks into hadrons and hadrons into atomic nuclei.

The changing of a proton to a neutron or vice versa.

Other than those it's more or less responsible for everything. It's all just different frequencies

[teal narwhal]

there was an ai generated song that hit the country billboards top 10

that was a few months ago i think

[indigo hare]

There was that one black AI rapper made by two white guys

[sage steeple]

That is intelligence. And it is made to adapt to human capabilities and intelligence in various fields. The original goal of AI was to give it cognitive skill. Why do you think they are making AI that can teach itself.

[indigo hare]

I remember that whole controversy lol

[hardy mirage]

this leads to people becoming, frankly, dumb as shit, because they fear effort so much that they'd rather let a machine think for them

[sage steeple]

That's just sad then

[frank citrus]

yeah

you could even create matter from EM but itd be very costly (E=mc^2)

[teal narwhal]

yo i hate to say it but this is just not correct

[indigo hare]

Ai is not intelligent, it doesnt think for itself. It’s not capable of actual intelligence

[hardy mirage]

emotion and creation cannot be chalked up to pattern recognition

it's mimicking, not inheriting

[indigo hare]

It doesn’t think to itself, “hm, my user wants me to list a recipe, im gonna list what I think fits best”
It just spits out whatever it comes up with from searching online or through its data or whatever

[hardy mirage]

feeding it information so you can eat its shit basically

[indigo hare]

You can literally just go ask an AI thing if it’s intelligent and itll tell you no it’s not lol

[sage steeple]

The original goal behind AI IS intelligence and cognitive skill. And that is facts.

[frank citrus]

yeah LLM's dont even actually think, they look at questions being answered on the web, match your prompt with those questions, find the answers and give them to you

[frank citrus]

doesnt even have to be a question, since everything is in conversation style AI just has to find what is usually said next after your prompt

[drowsy finch]

Al is really cool he makes great jokes iunno why you guys hate him so much

[teal narwhal]

i mean yeah it'll search it up online but it'll TRY and pick something with variety. If it made recipies like the older ai models did then it would make some bs

[frank citrus]

weird al or al jokes

[teal narwhal]

either way its al generated

[gusty lotus]

whyd he fall off like that

[frank citrus]

https://tenor.com/view/and-then-se-tied-me-to-the-wall-sauerkraut-weird-al-yankovic-albuquerque-rwappin-gif-14818616728356858200

[teal narwhal]

the original goal behind ai was to detect patters that would be difficult for a human to do otherwise

[drowsy finch]

I was thinking of al jokes initially, but i realized it applies to weird al as well and got happy

[sage steeple]

It completely depends on how you think of emotions and creations. Human emotions are physical stimuli as well.

[hardy mirage]

have you studied psychology at all

[frank citrus]

weird al coming home and finding out people hate his music for some reason

[hardy mirage]

genuine question, not rhetorical

[teal narwhal]

i liked al music before it was cool

[frank citrus]

humans actually learn though

AI doesnt learn, it trains its architecture

[indigo hare]

Heres the great AI’s response about if it has intelligence. Even AI recognizes it doesn’t have actual intelligence, it just simulates it more or less. The irony being, ive used ChatGPT a bunch and it’s lying, it’s fucking dumb and can so easily be fooled and fucked with, with illogical shit

[frank citrus]

another common smitor W

[sage steeple]

Yes, I watched a few classes of Paul Bloom

[frank citrus]

fair enough

[teal narwhal]

yeah chatgpt sucks ass now js use gemini or claude or whatever

[indigo hare]

The infamous, how many rocks should I eat a day

[teal narwhal]

i still remeber people saying gpt 5 had "world ending potential" before it relased but it just sucks ass 😭

[frank citrus]

chatgpt def got the throat hurt kind of sadness typing this out

[warm pebble]

Try to make an ai generate "a FULL glass of vine"

[frank citrus]

something something spiders georg

[drowsy finch]

I love al

[sage steeple]

The original goal of AI was artifical intelligence. By definition it is meant to be an artifial intelligence meant to understand patterns like humans. It was meant to simulate human intelligence.

[teal narwhal]

oh no they solved this already

it can do that

[warm pebble]

Shit

[frank citrus]

we love al 🥹
