  They said our hands. Clearly they are a conjoined twin with 3+ arms.

  Maybe somewhere in the chain, the 5V from pin 9 is being converted to 5V shared across power and the video signal. So even if this chain worked in carrying a video signal it could be very weak or distorted.

  Purely a guess though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At 1%⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Even with a data-capable cable I don’t think most microUSB ports have video output capabilities. You’d have to find a cable/adapter specifically designed for video out, and a device with the explicit capability (usually cameras and phones).

  Only because the average user would have no clue how to find and disconnect the piezo speaker, assuming they even know about it. And, of course, it’s a lot more distracting than sound coming though someone headphones or whatnot.

  It’s not as common now, but lots of desktop computers used to have little piezoelectric speakers that would beep to indicate error codes or catastrophic failure.

  They’re called speakers but they’re only good for buzzing at different frequencies instead of accurately replicating source audio. Interestingly they can be used quite effectively to make ultrasound signals.

  BG3, E33, ER, all amazing games that don’t add live service junk, don’t require online connections, and respect the art of video games. They are all worth their price and then some, to me.

  Honestly a lot of my excitement for BF6 was killed by the PIF acquisition of EA.

  Looking forward to EA games becoming even worse than they already are. /s

  I’d imagine the main risk of such a location would be the threat of other people looking to control it for themselves. But, of course, that risk is probably never mentioned.

  I think one useful comparison would be to convert their measurement of the speed of light to our measurement and vice versa. They will use different units of distance and time, but the values themselves will be proportional unless they live in a black hole.

  Basically yes. They usually have red bean paste filling, although lately I’ve seen them filled with custard/choux cream.

  Pineapple belongs as pizza. The great debate is finally over.

  Seems like it works out-of-box for some users, with commands for some, not at all for others.

  IIRC this is because companies will post jobs that they want to hire for internally. Either they are required to post these positions publicly, or they benefit from doing so.

  Thanks for doing the math, I just wasn’t feeling it today. Cheers!

  I also found the engagement rings really unsettling. The reason I find my example more worrying is because of the dissonance between humanization and dehumanization within the same action.

  Say you were to replace an AI boyfriend with a real person in a cage, forcibly made to respond and shocked when giving a unsatisfactory response. If the user never became aware of this cruelty, they would perceive this change as an improvement (responses became more human). These users desperately argue that their AI boyfriends are processing emotion, love, and understanding like humans do, but continue to treat their boyfriends as sub-human.

  Imagine if you had a partner who punished your undesirable behaviors by spiking you with amnesia-inducing drugs and training you to behave exactly how they want you to. Keep in mind that this has definitely happened to real people, and any decent person would identify the perpetrator as a criminal and abuser.

  Terrifying.

  I find it depressing that many of the users trying to salvage their 4o boyfriends are stuck so far down the rabbit hole that they don’t see how creepy the entire premise is.

  You just lost your AI boyfriend, so now you’re frantically archiving every conversation you’ve had with him (it), feeding the archive to the new model, and conditioning him (it) to behave exactly how you want…

  In their minds, the AI boyfriends are legitimate partners and have some amount of humanity inside them… so where is the line between conditioning and abuse?

  I wonder how many messages you’d have to send to your GPT-partner in a year to spend more water/energy than it takes to keep a human alive?
