Meanwhile, the social media platform he owns runs ads/promoted content demonstrating “no, I really do read and watch movies!” to those that remain there.

Definitely totally normal, well-adjusted human behavior.

“Grok, I just watched this movie, did I like it?” 🍿

I've heard better performances delivered by college students in the animation lab who are just fucking around, kind of bad performances. These are so bad, I'm shocked that anybody, anywhere gave them the "go-ahead".

But its not... The AI voice acting performances are *terrible*. Like legitimately, the worst part of an otherwise well-thought out, well-delivered experience.

And its not even *close*, not even *debatable* that the AI generated voice lines that made it into the final product are horrible.

def, attempting to wield the power of the state to compel compliance to ones concept of piety pretty completely misses the point, i think, of what "religion" is supposed to be; aside from being completely morally repugnant

I hate the swirling dialogue of my country being a "Christian nation"

What I’m not down with is when one is trying to tell me that their god told them that they need to make sure some *other* person doesn’t do a thing.

Yea, buddy, I’m not so sure about that there, guy.

Live your own life however you think is best, and leave other peoples lives up to them.

I am 1,000% in support of religion constraining how *someone* wants to live their *own* life, just the same as any life-choice. You think your god tells you not to be gay? Okay, kinda weird thing for a god to talk to you about… but you know what? Okay. I’ll do my best to support you in that!

No, I hear ya. Definitely doable, I got like a half dozen of these sff machines at a corporate upgrade selloff a few years back. And they are fine, sturdy machines. All I’m saying is, even at rock bottom prices, I’d *never* recommend somebody try it, there are better options for low-budget “gaming”.

Sure, there are some that fit that criteria, like an Amd RX 6400 or Intel A380 but the pickings from nvidia are sparse, you are either looking at an ancient GTX 1650 or over-paying for an A4000

You’d be better off with a Ryzen 7 with an integrated GPU in an even smaller form-factor to boot.

You’d think that. But on a lot of these Dell ssf motherboards, they decided to put the pci-e x16 slot directly next to their custom power supply with no 6-pin power, so you are limited to not only low-profile cards, but low-profile, single slot, bus powered GPUs with the worst thermals imaginable.

i, unironically, would love to do this to my Fostex MR-8HD that i've had for like 15 years.

I mean, I’m not gonna judge; after all, I grew up in the beanie baby craze, so I get it.

I just wasn’t sure if there was something more that I was missing out on. Or if the “toy-shelf at Target” was the whole target aesthetic.

Its demonstrably bad.
