Your guess is as good as mine. I can imagine low-effort workflows. They would still require set up / config. The functional return, as I understand it, is nil.

Correct. Also a fascist huckster.

They are laboring under the delusion that modified spelling stymies the use of their writing as LLM training data.

It doesn't. But it does garner attention (which is, I suspect, the real reason for their behavior).

Worked ok for me! Some of the visual elements/gags didn't work as intended but the game was perfectly playable.

Irrelevant in the face of established cannon. If you're going to make an in-universe argument then you have to stay inside the magic circle while making it.

This is like arguing Star Trek wrap drives wouldn't work because our current understanding of physics means Alcubierre drives are impossible to operate. You're applying a real-world understanding to a fictional universe that has written that part of reality away (for whatever reason).

The only point such an argument makes is that the arguer is ignorant of the source material.

I've seen the evidence of the bird's home and, while compelling, I remain unconvinced this is an owl.

Have you happened to observe the beast hunting, capturing prey, or eating? Presenting that evidence may clear things up for me.

You don't understand because you're either not paying attention or because you're trolling.

Random would be output like this:

Ostrich maypole dandy ironic. Great cucumber zebra!

Or this:

fhsjarbskzkdbsjzb kOdbg zkakfiebwkl

Random would be a password generator. Random would be utter nonsense. Incoherent. That's not what LLMs produce.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I agree that LLMs do not understand what it is they are predicting. At least no more than any other computer program "understands" its output. Which is to say: they are not conscious beings experiencing things.

This doesn't mean LLM output is random. It means they aren't thinking persons. You may have confused random with non-deterministic. LLMs are complex guessing machines that require a fudge-factor to produce meaningfully useful output. If the guesses were fully random then they'd have a significantly narrower field of practical applications.

Which means this image has to be of an enthusiast's collection because Crystal Pepsi was only manufactured '92-'94 (and again briefly in 2016 and then again as a batch of 300 in 2022 during a promotional / competition).

It's like a 90s themed couch potato weekend for time travelers.

Plucking the feathers out of your teeth.

You'll never see calamari the same way again.

I'm not suggesting people engaged in evil do not deserve ire. Punch Nazis. Full stop. Neither am I suggesting we tread gingerly lest we offend. I'm asserting that constructive responses toward those open to correction align with our stated ideals and that destructive attacks which merely stroke the ego of the attacker do not.

We should not want those lost to the cult of MAGA to self-flagelate and apologize because this is not about them and words are cheap. They need to see the harm they've helped cause and start actively counter-acting that harm.

This meme is specifically directed at those who are realizing they've been conned. When someone breaks from delusion, especially delusion that has been central to identity, sharing that with anyone requires vulnerability. If hypocrisy is worth avoiding at all then its value increases wildly around such shared crossroads.

Salt in the wound only benefits the salter who enjoys inflicting useless pain in others. We ought to be better than that. Inability to do so cannot justify the indulgence of cruelty.

i.e., being tired of their bullshit confers no license to vindictive prejudicial lashings.
