And this is why indie games will probably have a second golden age.

Talk to your PC is just going to be Denholm Reynholm from IT Crowd.

Exactly, right? I remember streaming on discord was a pain because of all the lag and TeamSpeak + pigdin + Overwolf was so much better.

Now i use Legcord instead until my friends switch, which I hope is soon.

Some of my friends have registered on Flux but still use discord. It's sort of just there until discord makes it unbearable for them to use but discord will never do that. They'll just slowly tighten the noose until you get comfortable.

They pay for nitro, which to me is bonkers.

For sure; nothing beats in person but you have to make do with what you can. I wish you the best of luck in your doctorate (from another mature age student and soon to be commencing Masters).

Welcome to Lemmy! Ignore the jerk in the corner.

Ah very interesting. Still, it's a shame cutting out the peer to peer discussions to expand one's own learning and understanding.

No, it actually doesn't. How LLMs work is that it takes in written words and makes a sentence based on the likelihood of what the next word will be based on human readable text. That's literally it.

Hence, there's absolutely no guarantee that ChatGPT's 'review' of your homework will always be 100% correct because it is probable that the answer was written incorrectly in the billions of lines of text it has been fed.

On the other hand, a calculator has been superficially wired for it's purpose to process an input. 1 + 1 will always equal 2.

I'd wager your supervisor will be horrified to learn that you're getting an LLM to learn from rather than your peers. This is why i absolutely hate that it's being used as a substitute what essentially makes us human: art, music, research, learning etc.

It's a tool that needs a licence because you need to know how to use it to complement your existing skills, not supplement it.

Is this because of AUKUS?

Tools should be provided if you want to do that but shouldn't be standard. People should have freedom of choice on how to use their own property, in terms of computers, and how they manage/raise their children.
