I make YouTube videos from time to time, and i made one where i do a thematic analysis of Elden ring.

Spoilers, it is just Buddhism all the way down. https://youtu.be/TuL7BS03oog?si=6S2RJFIoY5ywF9yv

The Elden Ring is a written word as well as a physical object. That's why the Runes (letters) are there. That's also why the item descriptions talk about the "base" of the ring: it's like the base of a kanji. The Greatrunes implicitly function like kanji radicals, meaning that some of them may be full words in themselves, while some may require the addition of a second (or third) rune to become a word. When a demigod or the Tarnished gets hold of a Greatrune, they're in some sense taking possession of a part of the language everyone is speaking.

"Why doesn't Radahn talk" same reason Radagon and the Tarnished don't talk. Lords don't use Words. Those are for your wife.

i always loved the headcanon that Ranni cut her hair when she was still an Empyrean to severe ties with Radagon

ed zitron, a tech beat reporter, wrote an article about a recent paper that came out from goldman-sachs calling AI, in nicer terms, a grift. it is a really interesting article; hearing criticism from people who are not ignorant of the tech and have no reason to mince words is refreshing. it also brings up points and asks the right questions:

if AI is going to be a trillion dollar investment, what trillion dollar problem is it solving?

what does it mean when people say that AI will "get better"? what does that look like and how would it even be achieved? the article makes a point to debunk talking points about how all tech is misunderstood at first by pointing out that the tech it gets compared to the most, the internet and smartphones, were both created over the course of decades with roadmaps and clear goals. AI does not have this.

the american power grid straight up cannot handle the load required to run AI because it has not been meaningfully developed in decades. how are they going to overcome this hurdle (they aren't)?

people who are losing their jobs to this tech aren't being "replaced". they're just getting a taste of how little their managers care about their craft and how little they think of their consumer base. ai is not capable of replacing humans and there's no indication they ever will because...

all of these models use the same training data so now they're all giving the same wrong answers in the same voice. without massive and i mean EXPONENTIALLY MASSIVE troves of data to work with, they are pretty much as a standstill for any innovation they're imagining in their heads

As a kid, I was really upset that Bill Watterson wouldn't license Calvin & Hobbes so I could have plushies or so there would be a Saturday morning cartoon. Now, I realize his resistance is the reason we don't have a Calvin & Hobbes DreamWorks movie starring Chris Pratt.

I honestly think the original ah lads not again post is the funniest

Y'all I know that when so-called AI generates ridiculous results it's hilarious and I find it as funny as the next guy but I NEED y'all to remember that every single time an AI answer is generated it uses 5x as much energy as a conventional websearch and burns through 10 ml of water. FOR EVERY ANSWER. Each big llm is equal to 300,000 kiligrams of carbon dioxide emissions.

LLMs are killing the environment, and when we generate answers for the lolz we're still contributing to it.

Stop using it. Stop using it for a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g. We need to kill it.

can we talk about how this is even more annoying when websites start forcing AI on us even though we didn't FUCKING ASK (@ meta)

like, you stole my art. you stole my writing. and now you're making me fuck up the environment even though i DIDN'T FUCKING ASK
