@autisuns @Niftski The issue is primarily that seemingly half the mod team have a grudge against Niftski and close friendship with Averge11 and seem to have made a rule change specifically to damage Niftski's ability to play and help Averge11 competitively.

@RenRHTC @KourraVT As someone else mentioned, Vedal likely used the API for GPT-3 originally back in 2022 originally, then switched over to Llama 2 and eventually Llama 3. He does of course use fine tuning, which is significant work.

I say this as a fan, ftr.

[Matt Ferland @MFMegaZeroX]

@skibidiwap69 @KourraVT I'm not anti-AI, and am a fan of Vedal's. But Neurosama is a fined tune model, likely originally Llama 2 in late 2022 and then later Llama 3 sometime in 2024 (or perhaps he might have waited until the break after the previous subathon).

@Diamondhenge Myriam Frega. I generally love the "haughty noble" character trope, and Myriam is fun all around. I was super hyped when I learned she would be a partner in the sequel!

[Matt Ferland @MFMegaZeroX]

@Diamondhenge Yay to Miriam being the assistant in the sequel! She was one of my favorite characters in the first game. Looking forward to see where this goes!

@jdbalart At this rate, I imagine there is also a growing concern among law enforcement that the sky is blue, and water is wet.

@LivWithoutLimit @DickinsonCol I'm also a new professor at Dickinson (of Computer Science) so I look forward to meeting you at orientation! :)

[Matt Ferland @MFMegaZeroX]

@jamiltonjonny @RockmanEXEZone Yes. AKA 9pm on the 13th Pacific Time.

@musicexpertdan This was the meme I mentioned in chat. Just a thing I made in 5 minutes haha

[Matt Ferland @MFMegaZeroX]

@g0m You have taken VGHeardle offline? Is it forever?

[Matt Ferland @MFMegaZeroX]

@tmlabonte At least CLRS wasn't in there. Otherwise you would have no arms left :P

[Matt Ferland @MFMegaZeroX]

@tmlabonte @USCViterbi This is old, but I'm just seeing you tweet about this now. Shanghua apparently told me he was in the video, but I forgot, so when I found this out, I was like "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME SHANGHUA?!?

@physca28 @808Towns 「seldom」というのは硬い言葉です。私は少しも使いません。また、順番が正しいけど、パーセントはとても主観的です。

@WI_Elections So, what this means as far as I can tell:

Technically, the media just get the results from the county heads, who tell them the results.

The loser (seemingly Trump) can't ask for a recount until next week.

@FBIRecordsVault My favorite complaint in the report

"Help FBI! Anita bullied me since she says bad things about gamers and, uh, she didn't deliver it on time! I'M OPPRESSED!

[Matt Ferland @MFMegaZeroX]

@ModalSevenths This is only true if you use garbage heavily processed maple syrup. Real maple syrup goes great with chocolate.

I just experienced my first earthquake I could feel as my bed rocked under me. Hopefully there isn't more to come...

[Kotaro Uchikoshi Eng @Uchikoshi_Eng]

(*Spoiler Alert!*) I'd like to recommend reading the thread titled "Let's Find All of the Foreshadowing about ***'s Identity" on Reddit.

[Matt Ferland @MFMegaZeroX]

@Uchikoshi_Eng I am so honored a thread I made was mentioned by you! I may have actually squeed.

@ConnorKrammer Could you add the Sharin no Kuni Kickstarter to StatBackr?
