What? You expect a bio? Fine bring me some coffee and we'll chat.

Logged onto Gemini after a while and... WHEN THE HELL DID THIS OCCUR?!

[RikkityBridge @TAGJake]

Fair enough. Gemini has its own flaws, but some things that ChatGPT does Gemini does slightly better and other things best. Though I think tinkering around with it here and there might give an idea. It could be used for narrative writing if you're interested and be less lobotomized like ChatGPT is, that's for certain.

Getting info from ChatGPT, from my experience can be quite rigid in how it handles it because of OpenAI's own guidelines that are coded into it. I think there are plenty of other models better for information and research, but I will say ChatGPT is really solid on image gen.

(Some models do image-gen better and if you know how to use Stable Diffusion and LoRAs, then you might get tighter images than what ChatGPT can produce.)

As for coding, Claude (which I have not used myself) I do hear has been getting REALLY good for coding, especially for mod-development for games and game development itself.

It could be about fun, but streaming and content creation has become more about being as performative and fake as possible and chasing algorithms unfortunately. It seems that most creators I've liked in the past have shifted to being more in favor of remaining relevant rather than being genuine.

Unfortunate reality.

@paintagain1 @grok @pretty_sarlin Gemini has its ups and downs, though far more lenient than ChatGPT and less censorship.

@leather_heropin YOOOOOO! Iconic! Loved this game!

@CHelleaven @SleepyVampArt @valvesoftware Tech is inherently neutral. AI is neutral. It's all dependent on who is using it, the prompts, etc. The tool itself isn't good or bad as it holds no morality. It is inanimate.

[RikkityBridge @TAGJake]

I was merely replying to Chaotic specifically so idk who your response is for. I don't think anyone brought up copilot or anything of the like unless I missed a part of the conversation.

Poster was talking about AI being used for upscaling, I merely pointed out in that specific area, AI has become more prevalent.

[RikkityBridge @TAGJake]

@yumesyokunin Yoooooooo actually looks pretty seamless. Some minor hallucinations, but otherwise a neat little short.

[RikkityBridge @TAGJake]

There's a disclaimer that AI makes mistakes. The issue with 'type and forget' searches nowadays is relying blindly on a single AI summary instead of doing deep research across sources. In this case, your birth year has NEVER been public. Because the data doesn't exist, the AI filled the gap by hallucinating a year. It's a tool for gathering context, not a definitive source.

[RikkityBridge @TAGJake]

Again, why is pricing it at $1,049—which is cheaper than a prebuilt, entry-to-mid range gaming PC in today's market considered greed?

Also you're saying Valve should eat upwards of a 300-400million dollar loss (at most) in total.

First issue with your argument: Networth does NOT equal actual dollars held in a person's or company's bank account. That is total valuation based on assets tied to a business, property, etc.

Second issue with your argument: You are completely ignoring the RAM shortage currently going on. Valve actively refuses to subsidize the hardware as well because it doesn't fit their core beliefs.

Furthermore, you are actively spending far more money long-term on subscriptions to Xbox Live/Game Pass and/or Playstation Network memberships which adds more onto the initial price tag for those systems.

Your math does not add up, full stop.

[RikkityBridge @TAGJake]

@CHelleaven @SleepyVampArt @valvesoftware If you have DLSS at all on your hardware (you most likely do) or games with such features, AI is being used regardless. Linux is slowly implementing this for compatibility reasons as well (though some games work better than others).

[RikkityBridge @TAGJake]

@tanpukunokami Having a sense of pride and duty to your country makes you want to strive for more and improve it. Being taught to actively disrespect it doesn't build critical thinkers -- from my perspective, it just fosters a general disregard and total disrespect for authority.

[RikkityBridge @TAGJake]

Strict boundaries are a must. An engaging streamer persona accidentally invites parasocial behavior from viewers who think they know you.

Nipping it in the bud early saves you from massive headaches down the road.

There are other content creators out there who often neglect this either deliberately or by accident. Many let it occur deliberately for drama-bait, engagement, sympathy farming (basically any form of clout), while many others just genuinely struggle to navigate the field.

I can't exactly offer much advice outside of the fact that figuring out steps to de-incentivize fans, viewers, or server members is key. Designing your platform so the community curates itself saves you from putting in constant, exhausting effort that will otherwise just burn you out.

[RikkityBridge @TAGJake]

@NormBreaker3 How is an upfront price greed? With Xbox and PS5 price jumps, subscriptions cost an extra $100+ a year. In just 12 months, you've spent nearly 10% more than the hardware itself. The console subscription model is the real money trap

[RikkityBridge @TAGJake]

It really does depend honestly. Sometimes poverty is caused by governments in poorer nations. In wealthy nations, sometimes people will overspend on luxurious lifestyles and put themselves further into debt for a specific lifestyle in urban cities. On the flip-side it may also be due to geographical barriers and distance from job opportunities. Monopsonies can also be a factor here.

[RikkityBridge @TAGJake]

@twibuznewss pressure washers are soooo satisfying to use.

[RikkityBridge @TAGJake]

@Shon58100051 @Inquisitio12 @yunamorichan There's a lot more nuance to this issue than you seem to think. Someone here lacks critical thought.

[RikkityBridge @TAGJake]

@kaogo55 Looks like the answer varies depending on what number is multiplied first. Between the two, 400's place in the equation is swapped with the 200. Because multiplication comes first, swapping their places completely changes the final result.

[RikkityBridge @TAGJake]

So tell us how much you don't know without telling us you know nothing, Mr. Reid.

Also this is an internal test game someone made with the model they used. Why are you giving such emotional and irrational arguments?

You make these claims without any evidence to back up that this person or the AI is being malicious. You must have VERY solid evidence of intent if you are going to allege this.

Otherwise this is just emotional rage/engagement bait.

[RikkityBridge @TAGJake]

@Rahll @ToRecallE AI has been around for little over a decade and you think AI is some brand new tech? No it's been in R&D since the early and mid 2010s. It is going to be here indefinitely regardless.

Seems like someone hasn't moved on from the 2000s...
