It’s a pretty neat idea, although currently the bots only reply to your posts. If you don’t say anything, nothing happens. It would be cool if the bots could converse with each other about random topics.
You can uninstall a lot of Apple’s apps that come preinstalled on an iPhone. Not all of them, but a surprising amount.
Because despite the bitching it still has a very respectable user base, at least purely looking at the Steam stats:
I swear Google promised to open up their implementation of RCS to third-party app developers like 5 years ago and it still hasn’t happened.
It’s a decent game but a terrible one if you are comparing it to the original Overwatch.
Protect your hearing. Listen to loud music in moderation and use earplugs in loud environments.
This is the second time I’ve seen someone say this. Tenacious D is not broken up. Where are you getting this information?
Yeah, Firefox on iOS lets you add custom search engines
Jack is gonna be the best part of this, you just wait.
Jean creamer. Even the cheap stuff works wonders.
Aldi is a lifesaver in these trying times
I don’t like how this article hyperbolizes the amount of booing. Compare the moments of booing to the very end with the mix of cheers/jeers where that sounds like the entire audience giving a reaction.
Yes it’s important that jorkin depeanus vance got booed but misrepresenting the level of heckling from the crowd isn’t journalism that respects its readers.
I went back and looked at the articles I had read and dug a little deeper to get to an interview with Lilly Wachowski herself:
Continuing on The Matrix**, you confirmed a couple years ago that it was a trans allegory —**
No, I didn’t.
You didn’t? Tell me more.
Yeah, so that came from an interview I did for Disclosure. They had a bunch of Matrixquestions. And the question they asked me was about Switch, who was originally written as a trans character who was male in the real world and female in the matrix. And they took that response and attached the question that everyone now references that it’s a trans allegory. And so it was slightly out of context, but I don’t sit here and put a stink up about it, because it is a trans allegory in that it was written by two closeted trans women. And so all of the things that are in it are super-duper trans. The idea of transformation, even the whole “My name is Neo, Mr. Anderson —” that idea of claiming identity, it’s undeniable.

To be honest, her statement doesn’t seem like either a denial or confirmation to me so 🤷♂️
From what I’ve read, The Matrix wasn’t created as a trans allegory, it’s just that you can apply the fundamentals of its story to many concepts. One of the most popular interpretations happens to be gender identity because its creators transitioned years after the original trilogy ended.
Meta Quest 3. I had been saving for a Valve Index but I was getting impatient. Turns out it was an amazing buy and (for me personally) having an untethered headset was more important than I realized. My computer room is small but my living room has plenty of space. Plus the Steam Link app works so well nowadays I can still play Steam VR games but wirelessly anywhere in my house. Pretty awesome deal for something that costed half the price.
Is it possible to implement a perfect guardrail on an AI model such that it will never ever spit out a certain piece of information? I feel like these models are so complex that you can always eventually find the perfect combination of words to circumvent any attempts to prevent prompt injection.
They have neither confirmed or denied it being a trans allegory. It depends on how you interpret the response Lilly Wachowski gave in an interview a few years ago:
