If an oUtAgE causes it to generate transphobic jokes, I wonder what it will take for it to start laying out a plan for the fourth reich?

I changed my mind on GPT. This is the future I want.


Whoever wins, we lose.


Hot take: As someone who hardly ever watches TV/streaming, I’m glad the machine is destroying itself. People need to find a better way to live their lives than to come home from a shitty day job that wasted the first half of their day, and waste the next half watching dumb shit.


Lmfao in what universe is AI-generated media going to reduce the amount of movies/tv shows people consume?

It's going to do the exact opposite...


True, instead we should be submitting our crappy "hot takes" on the internet.


Based. Unfathomably based.


Who is Damon Chen and why should I take this commentary seriously?


Apparently he is the founder of testimonial.to which this link is going to so this looks like self promoting blog spam.


Thoughts and ideas stand on their own merit, and are worth sharing or criticizing regardless of who produced them. You shouldn't need to know the background of the author to agree or disagree with them, just as credentials aren't required from you to participate in this forum.


Damon Chen here (waving hand)

I'm just a guy quitting 9-5 and hope to make some money online to support my family :)

I mentioned apps I built before in this tweet. Testimonial.to is the only one that took off. https://twitter.com/damengchen/status/1344525420813697024


He’s a prolific indie creator with a history of building a successful business in the open.

More than enough credibility if you ask me.


Who are you?

This may be true but without evidence is sounds like exactly what the OP is complaining about.

His LinkedIn doesn't even claim any business building before 2.5 years ago. https://www.linkedin.com/in/damengchen It only claims he built 2 things.


It ought to behoove us to ask this question for every blog post of this nature thats posted.


Does it matter?


Of course it matters when you attempt to use your own social backing to boost someone else. That you're a commenter who has been around since 2018 who is also an "an ambitious full-stack software engineer, with a deep passion for design, user interface and front-end engineering"[1] is definitely a point in your favor, though. What made you personally feel so strongly about the original author? Your reasoning is more likely to help convince others especially if you have sources you can point to.

[1] I'm hoping he'll notice but for everyone else, I pulled this quote from the About page on the website linked from his profile.


Who are you to make those kinds of statements?


lol


Note that you can play Nox online here: https://playnox.xyz/


while this isn't about that Nox, I hoped it was and appreciate the link

EDIT: after playing for a bit i remember just how many things i love this game has, I never had a group of people to play with so I never spent much time in it, but the gameplay seems immaculate

i spent a lot of time with Bloodline Champions and Battlerite which are descendants in some way, and i'm glad Nox is still around in this form (with multiplayer?!). i may have to host a server


There is also opennox [1]

I also only clicked on this link because I assumed it was Nox (the game).


I had a huge amount of fun playing this when it came out. It was a little clunky, and very quirky, but it had a lot of good ideas in it.

I wish it had been more successful in the market.


That's a different Nox. This article is about the Python testing utility: https://pypi.org/project/nox/


It is a downright shame that that game never got a sequel.


I love Nox!
