    Artificial Arrogance

    I'm sorry. Am I living in an alternative universe here or something?? Why would you design a system to provide obtuse, unhelpful and argumentative responses just because you often find content like that online anyway? What is the benefit of a tool that tells you something then denies flat-out...

    Artificial Arrogance

    Are you suggesting that the people creating these systems asked themselves "what subsection of people should I model the behaviour on?", and after exploring the options they decided that a system based on call centre operatives and narcissistic forum users was the ultimate future? I addressed...

    why life is... really boring

    You made some great observations in your post but you've missed one important point. The three steps listed above are optional. Your frustrations seem to be in two parts: 1 - Being forced to study for a certain amount of years 2 - Nothing to really look forward to after the studies are...

    Artificial Arrogance

    Are AI developers deliberately trying to mimic the worst human traits, such as our general reluctance to admit our own mistakes? My expectations with ChatGPT and Bing have, so far, generally been full of the same sort of frustrations that one might face when talking to a call-centre operative...

    Bing's A.I is actually good at searching

    I beg to differ I asked the Bing app how to find chat history in the Bing app (it can't) and it didn't even know what the Bing app was. I asked it for the Formula 2 schedule this weekend and it just said that it doesn't know. I've so far been extremely underwhelmed by AI both in Bing form and...

    Formula 1

    And if the cars were horses everything would be even less appealing. But they're not. So, just like the entirety of your post, it isn't relevant.

    I was talking globally.

    Was I rude in this situation?

    So if I say "sorry" first, I can say whatever I like without fear of causing offence? Like a global catch all? I'm sorry, but that sounds like horse crap.

    Past events that may have been key to Nintendo's fall from grace.

    Yes, I kinda think you do need to explain what went wrong? As far as I'm aware the pandemic was extremely lucrative for Nintendo, with millions of people buying Switch and games to get them through the lockdowns.

    Was I rude in this situation?

    A better phrase to use to convey what you wanted would have been something like "storm? Hah you've not been here very long have you?". That would convey the idea that this isn't considered a storm by yourself, and others around. Obviously this could lead to offence if the way it is delivered...

    Was I rude in this situation?

    Well, firstly if you say "I'm sorry if I'm rude" its going to put the recipient on guard and potentially make something that would otherwise be pretty innocent sound rude. Secondly the wording of the main subject is a little strange; "welcome to {somewhere}" is generally used, either in a...

    Formula 1

    I can't watch an old race, even from the late 2000s, without flinching all the way through it; whether it be because cars still racing at full speed while there's recovery vehicles trackside, or drivers going off and straight back on to the track directly into traffic, or some other craziness...

    Dreamcast via VGA on modern television set?

    For all the money you'd spend on any device to do what you need, would it not be easier to get a budget soundbar for your TV? That was you could feed the audio output from the VGA box directly to the soundbar and forgot about trying to merge the signals altogether.

    Formula 1

    Apparently not a single driver on the grid started the race on Sunday where they qualified on Saturday. This rule won't be dropped, though. While it may have started out as a cost saving measure it's now a cheap way for F1 to generate "exciting" races. In the same way they can't bring...

    Formula 1

    A lot of grid penalties this race. These engine/gearbox penalties were introduced as a cost-saving measure. Now the budget cap has been introduced the restrictions seem somewhat superfluous and need to be ditched.

    The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Decompilation project emerges

    I wonder if assets from A Link Between Worlds could be used? It shares the same 2 overworld maps. Dungeons may be an issue.
