If I download a pirated game it’s because I don’t intend to pay for it. It’s a choice between pirating and not playing it at all. Sometimes I like the game so much that I do end up buying a legit copy too, but that wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t get to play it first.

For Switch in particular it’s because I’m a PC gamer and can’t get used to playing games on console. I do own a Switch, but I find it inconvenient to use vs the PC. I played a lot more on the emulator than I did on the real thing.

And some shows have a slightly different intro for each episode, which might make you want to watch it every time.

The intro is the opening sequence of the show. People usually watch that on the first episode, but if you’re binge-watching a show you don’t want to keep seeing the intro over and over again for each episode.

Also this “shower thought” is word for word one of the popular posts on lemmy from a few weeks ago.

They can’t say that the man assaulted someone as a fact. But that the man was charged with assault is a fact. Alleged attack is not a charge, so “charged with allegedly attacking” is nonsensical. To cover their ass they can say “charged for allegedly attacking”, which shows that he was charged, why he was charged, and also adds the required “allegedly”.

charged with allegedly assaulting

Is this correct use of “allegedly”? The man allegedly assaulted someone, so he was charged with assault. Or they can just say “charged for allegedly assaulting”.

I remember the girl who accidentally tried to walk through a glass window. Three times in a row.

The equivalent expression in my language is “the drop that filled the glass”. As with the camel, the glass was already full, it just needed one more drop to reach its limit.

Hallucinations are an issue for generative AI. This is a classification problem, not gen AI. This type of use for AI predates gen AI by many years. What you describe is called a false positive, not a hallucination.

For this type of problem you use AI to narrow down a set to a more manageable size. e.g. you have tens of thousands of images and the AI identifies a few dozen that are likely what you’re looking for. Humans would have taken forever to manually review all those images. Instead you have humans verifying just the reduced set, and confirming the findings through further investigation.

How would a police report have proven anything anyway? It simply shows that someone claimed it happened. And she probably wouldn’t have come to that conclusion if she wasn’t scared by the propaganda in the first place.

To put it simple: fine china is ceramic, but so are bricks.

But why is a character from Alien: Romulus there? Did he get confused for Ford Prefect? But Ford would not speak against towels. So yeah, still confusing…

Maybe a bot avoiding detection of duplicate posts?

“Observe” in the double-slit experiment means placing detectors in each slit. Once you do that, the particles start acting as particles only. Without detectors you get the interference pattern. Doesn’t matter in either of the two setups if an actual human is looking at it or not.

Women are just as capable as man at the same time is the one you know that you can log in and view the Chase my home…

Good start, then just nonsense

That would be a lot of effort for a very high quality fake. In both pictures you can see the whole bottom of the trunk was raised up by the bollard poking through.

Romans were not great at English I guess

And do games use it? Epic Store does achievements too, but very few games actually integrate with it.

I buy games on Steam for the achievements. Honestly, if it wasn’t for Steam achievements, I’d have never made the switch from pirated games to buying them.
