Aren’t cremains generally inside a plastic bag inside the urn?

That’s the video game song that gets in my head the most.

Interestingly, despite how it’s not as good of a song, I probably think about Want You Gone about as often as Still Alive. It doesn’t really come through as a song, just the phrases. “Now I only want you gone.” “You’ve got your short sad life left. […] I’ll let you get right to it.”

Interesting. If they had said, “What is your absolute favorite track from a racing game?” I would have interpreted the question differently.

You know, that makes a lot more sense than what they actually wrote. You’ve convinced me that they meant to say what you said instead of what they said.

everyone else is worse

The point is that they weren’t portrayed that way in the comic.

I am not enough of an expert in the other fields to compare how stupid those answers are, but the software engineer seems like it is quite different to the others.

For the other professions, it seems to me, as a layman in those fields, that they are applying their own fields’ jargon to come up with a silly answer. But in the case of an an off-by-one error, some software engineer had to make an error. They had to be bad at their normal job. The other professions seem like they are simply too good at their normal jobs to have common sense elsewhere. That’s why software engineer seems quite different.

It really feels like the parallel answer for software engineers would be something to do with “multiple inheritance” or “mixins”.

Even this article says he had a “mental health history.”

Whatever you think of gun ownership, I think almost everybody should agree that people with a “mental health history” should probably not be allowed to have guns in Target parking lots.

There’s also a human named Noonien.

In Japanese, one of the common words for wheelbarrow is “nekoguruma”, which basically means “cat car”.

I meant treated the same by the government. It is the government that is doing these raids.

Fuck me, I haven’t thought about bessel functions since college, but I still remember when they were introduced, for me, not in graduate physics, but in one of my earlier undergrad programming classes, the assignment went so poorly that the professor added a gimme question on the final exam, something like, “True or false: Simply seeing the words “bessel function” will raise my blood pressure.”

Maybe I’m completely delusional. I used to think the same as you, but now I think they should just go ahead and put me in charge. There is no reality where I could possibly be worse than the people who are currently in charge.

I think baseball games are a reason to hang out with your friends, drink beer, and eat hot dogs.

It appears that “poon” has been used as a plant name since the 1690s. It looks like its other use was first recorded in the 1960s.

Thinking about it rationally, I think people should be treated the same regardless of their beliefs, and I should feel pity for this guy. But emotionally, I can’t help but feel schadenfreude for people like this, who get their just deserts.

One sign is apparently that he’ll create a new type of cat that won’t constantly fight with other cats.

I’ve never seen LLMs talk like what you’re describing, though.

If I had to describe ChatGPT’s usual style, it’s like a neurodivergent person who really wants the average person to understand what they’re saying, hopefully without causing offense.

I didn’t watch the episode, but I did watch a lot of scenes that other people have posted, and I suspect that includes most, if not all, of the scenes where they portray Kristi Noem.

NOT ONCE did they make fun of the way she looks in any part that I saw. Maybe I missed it, like it was in a different part, but I’m sure that she’s referring to the same scenes that I saw. I can’t imagine that she actually sat down and watched the episode. The only thing they said about her looks was when Mr. Mackey said something like “She looks nice.”

It is obvious that Noem has had many cosmetic procedures. I don’t think she denies it. The botox is obvious. South Park did make extensive fun of all the cosmetic procedures and botox she’s had, but not about the way that she looked before or after the procedures.

I don’t think we should accept Noem’s rewriting of history to make herself a victim. South Park did not make fun of her for how she looks, at least not in the parts I saw.

I am not sure how many times I’ve been mistaken for ChatGPT, but I don’t think my writing style is actually very similar.

I’m pretty sure that when people say that, most of the time, they actually mean, “I want to disagree with what you’re saying, but I lack the ability to do so legitimately. If I simply accuse you of using an LLM, people will assume I’m right and I will ‘win’.”

You can actually get LLMs to swear, sort of. They just won’t use real swear words. If you set up your LLM parameters to use a specific word for an expletive, but it’s not actually an expletive, then you can replace that word with your choice of expletive after the text is generated.
