This is something I think the ‘you have to use LLMs or you’re falling behind’ crowd are missing. Of course these companies want you to become dependent on their product, and unable to complete basic tasks without it, because then when they slap you with monthly fees and ads and tokens you won’t have a choice but to pay.

Use them if they’re useful, but don’t out source your brain. You’ll need it when the enshittification begins.

Israel does not recognise that there are civilian non-combatants in Gaza and therefore does not allow aid to enter. How about you?

What would you call intercepting someone in international waters and taking them back to your country without their consent? If Somali pirates did that you’d have no qualms using the word ‘kidnapped’.

Just started Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice after wanting it for a long time… and I feel like I’m bouncing off it. Having never played any of the Dark Souls series, but having absorbed some of the concepts via cultural osmosis I feel like the game has gone: It’s a soullike, you know what to do from here! But I have no idea what my goals are, other than running around and dying repeatedly, and occasionally finding a ‘bonfire’.

I thought the combat was supposed to be a selling point, but it feels really clunky. Maybe I’m missing something, idk.

S10 E12 (The Doctor Falls) is the end of (Modern) Doctor Who. Such a perfect episode epitomising the character, and closing an arc for one of the longest villains. He even ‘dies’ at the end.

Everything since then has been badly written and purposefully disrespectful to the cannon and the audience, and has wasted so many fantastic actors.

If they are only preventing opportunity, the crime will just take place at a different place or time when an officer is not present. The program’s mentioned are aimed at reducing the motive for crime, which applies at all places and times.
