  • Especially smart TVs. They’re especially chatty, accounting for something like 85% of network calls (all blocked). Edit: I meant 85% of calls on my network. And they bypass upstream DNS trying to be sneaky. It’s insane.

  • I appreciate the effort behind your comment. Unfortunately, it will likely fall on deaf ears among those who most need to understand our government — no different from the MAGA crowd. I don’t mean this condescending. It’s just unfortunate how poorly our education system prepares Americans, across the political spectrum, for their civic responsibilities.

  • Advanced OpenAI models hallucinate more than older versions, internal report finds

  • Agreed. There was a time when it worked impressively well, but it’s become increasingly lazy, forgetful, and confidently wrong, even missing obvious explicit prompts. If you’re using it thoughtfully as an augment, fine. But if you’re relying on it blindly, it’s risky.

    That said, in my experience, Anthropic and OpenAI are still miles ahead. Perplexity had me hooked for a while, but its results have nosedived lately. I know they tune their own model while drawing from OpenAI and DeepSeek vs their own true model but still, whatever they’re doing could use some undoing.

  • That's right! It goes in the square hole.

  • Thank you, both! Already deeply engrossed in it.

  • The kicker is that my brother worked as a repairman for the washer/dryer company at the time. I’m still kicking myself.

  • When I bought my house in ‘21, I thought my dad was just being an old kook when he told me not to get rid of the fully functional Speed Queen washer and dryer. I wish I’d listened… some of the fancy mid/high-end appliances we bought broke irreparably just days after their warranties expired.

  • Without delving deeper into these numbers, the politics, mechanics, or absurd cost of education in the US - $2.2B is an absolutely staggering amount of funding for a single institution. To say that it is privileged is an understatement.

  • Please don't be mean to me. I'm just trying to get by…

    That’s it. That’s the whole thing. Some of us out there are hanging on by a thread.

  • How about if he threw in the Tesla’s with poor quality and no craftsmanship? Y’know to boost all those American manufacturing jobs, and the mechanics, and Elon’s tax subsidized billions.

  • My takeaway is that if I don’t go broke on groceries this year I sure as hell will go broke buying some phenomenally promising games (or at least supporting the devs anyway).

  • With everything going on right now, the fact that I still feel physically sick reading things like this tells me I haven’t gone completely numb yet. Just absolutely repulsive.

  • …Sigh…I hadn’t been in Lemmy in a while. This pops up. I’d never thought to do this. My wife’s going to kill me! But look at it. It’s compact, nothing fancy, neat and makes me happy.

  • I’ve seen this come up a couple different ways and it’s almost always a scam. Social engineering to get victims buy-in with plausible tech buzzwords and investing their time as a hook.

    But then again, maybe they really are soulless pricks.

  • This is amazing.

  • Remedy and Annapurna announce a strategic partnership agreement on Control 2 and bringing Control and Alan Wake to film and television

    Jump

  • I have so many thoughts on this that I’m having trouble articulating. On one hand, Remedy has built such a rich and lore-filled world beloved by fans, and they’ve already tried their hand at live action with Quantum Break (meh). This could and maybe even should be successful. On the other, those worlds are already pretty solidly built by the actors that portray them like Courtney Hope, Matthew Porretta, Ikka Villi, and James McCaffery. I can’t imagine anyone successfully stepping into those roles.

    But then, we have the major flops like the Witcher adaptation and Halo (I think? Never a fan but I’ve heard good and bad things). I know those had even more lore and perhaps even bigger worlds, bigger budgets…and they still managed to disappoint the entire fanbase.

    Can you imagine them doing justice to the Ashtray Maze on TV without a bunch of blurry CGI? Or the insidious self doubt and psychological terror in Alan Wake without a bunch of jump scares?

    I love AnnaPurna and Remedy so I’m truly hoping for the best.
