The break even point would be at a balance of 23.08$. However, if the account balance doesn’t expire, buying your own game to put you over the threshold would be checking the couch cushions for loose change level of desperation.

As long as you don’t pursue commercial objectives and disclose that it’s AI generated, there’s no ethical problem.

Given that that’s Everett True we’re talking about, he probably did turn somebody into Hamburger Steak.

You could also just take any conversational LLM, and tell it that it’s playing a psychopathic character.

And it’s an 8th level spell, which I think is close to the pinnacle of what a spellcaster can achieve in Dungeons and Dragons.

You get a notification about sight stealer shrieks, so you’re going to be forewarned. Problem is that once they’re on the map, they act like normal raiders who are invisible until they are about to attack somebody.

I haven’t seen an sightstealer retreat so far. Are you sure you’re not referring to a revenant, instead?

Yes, that’s the idea. I won’t need to destroy the sunblocker, because the crops will die anyway.

I think it is called the network effect. People are still using Twitter because the messages they want to see are being posted there, and those messages are being posted there because that’s where the audience is. So, basically, people are locked in.

This also means that any loss in user count has a double effect, as not only users are lost, but the utility of the service for the remaining users decreases. So, what I’m saying is, if Elon continues this way, at some point there will be a large exodus of users from Twitter, as each loss of users reduces the utility of Twitter further, triggering a chain reaction.

Of course, we can’t know when that happens, and since we’re both on Lemmy, we’ve already self-selected as people with little tolerance for enshittification.

Yes, I made the ritual description up for a joke. I’ve never performed a human sacrifice.

When sacrificing the child, use a dagger made from obsidian. Cut upward from below the sternum, then force the rib cage apart. Push the lungs aside with your hands, then cut out the heart with your ritual dagger. Hold the heart up to the cheering crowd, and then place it in an earthen vessel in honor of the gods. Kick the body down the steps of the temple pyramid.

If you hear ‘full stack’, run.

What I was told by a fellow student, while I was writing my thesis (paraphrased).

I suppose a non-compliant browser will need to be build if this comes to pass.
