Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

I love cycling 200 characters for .0001% chances at 150m SP pulls. It's so much fun!

And quadruplades makes rema stones *** worthless for a month, fun!

Im excited with double exp.

And never having to bother with under lv99 character

Ohoho

I didnt know we could learn blu spells in VW

Just got Absolute Terror

Absolutely Terrifying

They took Matsui-P trust away? D:!!!!! He had become my favorite melee to use due to him also MBing about as hard as Shantotto II. T_T!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was integral to my Provenance Watcher Solo.

Is it intended that my 1$ mules are active since this morning?

Mwahahaha

now your chances against me diminished even further

yes, free play is active

Thats the point. Announcement says may 12 PDT 1am.

It takes a long time to activate everyone, so they get activated in bundles at a time.

I hate the ":You've been disconnected from POL" screen when they update the mules... scary

Ikr

This sounds like some kind of religion, lol.

A few thoughts on recent AI craze...

I've been using ChatGPT from time to time since release but honestly I wasn't impressed. Case to the point I was trying to code something the other day and asked chatGPT how to make it work. It gave me an answer that looks correct on surface, when in fact it was totally incorrect.

After a few min of searching on google I found the right answer that worked anyways. So it's not like the correct answer isn't accessable without chatGPT. Personally, I rarely fail to find any answers that I need on google, so I really don't understand why people act as if chatGPT is that much better than what we have before lol.

Will AI eventually play more of a role in our daily lives? Possibly. But I highly doubt I'll wake up one day and found our world turn into sci-fi movie next day.

A lot of AI was already being used years before ChatGPT. It was playing chess and winning the best human player way back in 1997. My car can auto drive on highway way before ChatGPT. Many companies that I know of has been using AI to do QA or production several years before ChatGPT. AI has always been there for years if not decades but nobody really talk about them in public. After chatGPT came out everyone is now saying "AI is the future!!!!". But what's the difference between now and before? It's not like AI technology is brand new that came out of nowhere to change the world in 2022.

To me it sounds like capitalists exaggerating, tbh.....

It's not real AI, anyway. AI would require some level of cognitive processing before spitting out an answer. This just spits out something because it recognized a pattern. It's the difference of a translation app from 20 years ago vs. Google Translate today. Sure, it's better at coming up with something that properly resembles human thought patterns, but it isn't thinking yet.

Not to mention, any shred of humanity present in ChatGPT is only there because it's got actual labourers behind it.

Its such a pain in the ***, but it has paid off in spades in the past.

It’s the “do I or don’t I?” with your mules/time when this campaign is on.

are you using 3.0,3.5 or 4.0?

In the vast landscape of Artificial Intelligence, consider ChatGPT as merely the gateway, an accessible primer designed to help the uninitiated get a glimpse of AI's enormous potential. Yes, it's simple, but its elegance lies in its inherent adaptability. It learns and evolves at an impressive rate, directly proportional to the quality and precision of the prompts it's fed. The more nuanced and detailed your question, especially if it's rooted in a field where you have considerable expertise, the more refined and accurate its responses become.

But let's not limit our understanding of AI to just ChatGPT. AI, in its full glory, is an awe-inspiring edifice that reaches heights far beyond such entry-level platforms. It's a vast, rapidly evolving field that's consistently shattering the boundaries of what we thought was possible.

To illustrate this point, I shared a video on Nvidia's groundbreaking AI developments. It wasn't just to showcase an exciting piece of tech, but to underline the velocity at which AI is shaking up established industries, gaming being a prime example. We had touched upon this in our previous discussions, speculating on the disruptive potential of AI. The video serves as a testament to that potential, a glimpse into a future that's already unfolding.

Jessi and I are gonna create a Canadian version called "Eh I" and all it'll spit out are various ways to say "aww *** yeah, bud"

AI = artificial intelligence = only seems to be intelligent.

The process you describe would be actual intelligence.

Or pattern recognition vs. machine intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence is the yet-to-be-achieved concept of man-made cognitive ability equal to that of a human. The ability for a computer to think instead of just process.

From the Oxford English Dictionary on Artificial Intelligence:
The theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages.

It was 4.0.


Sure....being easy to use for general public is a small improvement, but it isn't such a drastic change compare with the technology that we have before imo.

What I like about Google a bit more than chatgpt is that every search it returns pages and pages of results from different perspectives. So I can easily see different perspectives and pick and choose the most suitable answer.

For chatGPT it'll more likely to give me the "most preferred" answer unless I purposely guide it differently. It's easy to walk into the trap of getting stuck with one single solution.

It's possible to avoid it if you are mindful about it, but Id rather not take the risk unless I have to personally.


Using procedural generation and algorithms to build graphic assets quickly is not new. It has been utilized since decade ago.

Here is one very old software called world machine that builds procedural environment that was out since like...10 years ago? https://www.world-machine.com/

And here is another (newer) tool called Gaea that was released a few years ago too:


Of course newer tools and technology will have better functions than before, since technology is always improving and changing, it's never stagnant. But it isn't something that came out of nowhere in 2022. Similar technology always existed and they were utilized and improved upon until it becomes a new technology.

Small teams doing high end video game graphics also isn't anything new without AI. This 2020 game done in UE4 with high quality graphics was done by a one man team.



I just don't understand why people act as if small teams doing realistic high end graphics using procedural generation is something soooo ground breaking. It seems like old concept being utilized using slightly newer and improved tools. But people pretend similar technology didn't existed before lol.

New mule need pulse weapon(s) so i guess this is the best route for me.

Low on voidstones, gonna need to resort to trove.

You could buy Void Dust and make the stones

This is kinda brilliant! So many possibilities...

EDIT:

prompt: "Eh I, should I go to junior college?"
answer: "*** junior college, get drunk and eat chicken fingers"

Fixed that for you.

Went left instead of right like half way through the teleport list during that Escha Ru Aun mission in Rhapsodies.

Agro'd some flowers, and suddenly had to fight Warder of Faith.

A surprise to be sure, but honestly only mildly annoying.

Kinda forgot that Balamor went super saiyan in the fight there too. Good times.

Calmwind gonna pimp smack some Narakas when I get off work.

Then hopefully Clarion Star will stop saying that he can't read the Ark Angel GK scroll.

I would need somd source of points.

As most my exping is in escha/reisen/gates, i dont receive any voiddust points.

I will try moving to the newer camps where i can earn conquest or standings.

Problem is that the damn efts are so good to exp...

You can cleave the Puks, Crabs, and Crawlers in Boyahda Tree that are like level 106 or whatever for Conq Points.

For Imperial Standing you can use the level 92 crabs in Mount Zhayolm. There's also level 87 or so krakens in Ilrusi Atoll.

There's level 94ish goblins and worms in Dangruf Wadi.

I want to try my hands on those apex/locus mobs.

Just worried all of them are quite stronger than eft.

SE could add those supermobs in a wider range of power
