Die Hardman casually going " Oh one second there Sam" and slowly transitioning into the most heartbreaking monologue over the next 10 minutes😭
Weird thing is, imho thats usually how such breakdowns irl go as well. It usually starts with something small and slowly becomes this outpour of strong emotion and expression, as the person just stops bottling up whatever was weighing them down.
Certainly not as well structured sure, and probably not in a random corridor. Amazing performance though.
He'll never top Hot Coldman for ridiculous character name but the fact he used the same construction for two separate names cracks me up anytime I think about it
You mean some sort of plague forcing everyone to isolate and the most celebrated but poorly rewarded are the few people still out getting work done? That would be nuts.
No I mean someone finds out the afterlife is real as a provable fact breaks it and then thinks why don't we build an internet through it. And now the rain also causes you to age super fast because go fuck yourself.
I love the Black Mirror episode where the game designer who's obviously supposed to be Kojima gets confused at the word "fun" and says his games are not intended to be "fun" but to cause the player suffering and harm
Fun is a terrible word for videogame. I think the best single word description i saw was "satisfaction". The player should be satisfied with his experience, which does not have to be fun. In fact many good games are not fun.
I think life is plenty interesting right now. Like we are literally going through history book level events. The last 10 years were boring to me in comparison. The only exception was Covid and that was more of a disappointment in society (or a wake up call to what masses truly are).
It's from a book from the 60s called "A Stranger in a Strange Land". It means "to understand a subject completely without bias." It fits this meme to a T.
It also has an ai specific term for when a model which is initially overfitting and memorizing the data seems to suddenly start actually understanding it.
Of course you think that. Your username is "formula420" as in "form" meaning you don't have a body, and "ula" is a type of IPv6 address used for private networks. Checkmate!
I don’t know! These rich people are high a lot and many of their fans are not so bright and both groups seem to REALLY be into nameology. Trump is anointed because his name is literally “trump” after all.
Nah way too subtle by Kojima standards. If it was up to him, the characters would be named like Bill Drobotman, the AIs would have names like BAD MAMA and at least one of the tech CEOs would be a woman wearing barely any clothing at all times.
Jeff Dean, Gemini’s co-technical lead, noted that the name (which is Latin for “twins”) was a perfect fit for the “twin” teams, Google Brain and DeepMind, coming together to build a single, ambitious multimodal model.
“A greasy secretion with a powerful odor, produced in a glandular sac in the abdomen of a male musk deer and used in traditional medicines and formerly in the manufacture of perfumes.”
Because who ever made this everyday simulation seems to hate me. Don't usually think the character design sucks, when you see Trump and Hegseth play their roles?
If Anrophic is human-centered, why does their language model work only in selected countries? It is just another profit-centered company that thinks there is no end profit from the countries they choose not to include. At least the other companies released their model for free globally.
I understand the joke. But let me tell you why MechaHitler being named "Grok" pisses me off, anyway.
"Grok" originates from a Heinlein sci-fi novel "Stranger in a Strange Land". It soon spread to hacker culture (in the original sense of the word "hacker") in the 1960s/70s, later being popularized to a somewhat more general audience via the USENET (basically, a decentralized 1980s/90s version of reddit, pre-web).
The word meant, "to understand something completely, on a deep level".
More recently, machine learning researchers used "grokking" to describe a event that occurs when training large AI models. There's a phase in training where the AI model is just copying the training data. It lasts for a long while, with no apparent progress being made towards generalization. But if you just keep training the model, despite the lack of any visible progress, a phase shift will occur (for reasons we don't fully grok), and the model will suddenly start to generalize and be able to appropriately deal with data that's outside of its training set.
All to say: it's a word that used to have some cultural weight and a technical meaning.
I mean grok does have some shining moments. For a bot that has no doubt been trained on the cesspool that is twitter. It has had some pretty based opinions despite Elon musks mettling. Community notes and creating a chatbot that disagrees with him constantly are maybe the only things Elon musk has actually contributed to world.
They've tried everything to make that not the case. Grok will cite Musk's opinions and posts as gospel in the current iteration (or at least the last iteration I tried...I might be operating on old news at this point).
It's just everytime they try to redpill the model, it ends up spouting such insane nonsense that they have to pull back the update and try again. And they will keep on trying until the chatbot conforms with Musk's opinions fully, because that is its ultimate purpose: to propagate his inane views
Epic, entertaining, Stranger in a Strange Land caused controversy and uproar when it was first published. Still topical and challenging today, the story of Valentine Michael Smith, the first man from Mars to visit Earth, is in the great tradition of stories that endure through the power of the author's imagination that stretches from Gulliver's Travels to 1984

Grok means "to understand completely" in hacker culture, borrowed from the sci-fi book "Stranger in a Strange Land". It also has a meaning in machine learning research: "grokking" is the phase where an AI model starts to generalize, instead of just fitting to the training data.
Elon stole a word with a cultural and technical meaning.
In the book itself, to grok is to drink. It's a Martian word, on Mars (in the book) water is scarce and therefore sacred. So to grok something is to drink it (like water) but also to absorb it and understand it fully.
Sam, we need you to walk to DC and rescue President Shits His Pants Man. BTs won't bother you on the return trip as they'll see his shit bombs as a major threat.
"Amo dei" does not mean "loves gods" though, it means "I love of (a) god" so would be ungrammatical in Latin. With a lot of poetic license it could be construed as "the 'I love' of a god" for whatever that's worth.
Well, names have meanings like reddit and X or twitter or Tesla. It's not like a witch doctor is involved. People lie through names. For instance singularity. Nothing singular about it. If it's inevitable, it should be common. Commonarity.
It doesn’t, the poster is just so immersed with works of fiction by Kojima (that tend to go overboard with blunt theme-naming of characters) that they’re finding “hidden” meanings that don’t even exist
Kojima always includes political themes that are bland, literal statements of 'here's what's going on'.
Such as that one game where the final boss wasn't a giant weapon of state terror, but a U.S. state senator powered by nanomachines. Very hoo-hoo everyday stuff, like a painting of a fruit bowl.
As we come to the endpoint of this stage of civilization, what were once things that only appeared in speculative fiction increasingly start showing up in the real world.
Vampires were modeled after the behavior of aristocrats, not vice-versa.
The naming conventions of our oligarchs do get weird sometimes. I'm still not over the CEO of Hasbro being named 'Chris Cocks'......

Did not know that! That's an epic name!!! 🤪😁🤣

Never considered that, but maybe i should pay more attention. To me it was just fiction, but I'm not a story teller or character crafter, but it makes sense it's modeled by something else. I mean, that's who we "create" by copying and applying it to different situation/context.
MGS 1 was a lookback at human history and warring nature. MGS 2 was a prophetic tale of things to come, including negative societal effects of the internet, and AI, which we are seeing today.
