Opening that site prompts my browser to download a `Human_fart.wav` file.

That's one of the things I truly didn't get from my (very limited) experience with SQLAlchemy. Why not just have a method like orm.eq(User.id, user_id)? Much more readable.

Really wish these slop announcements stopped hitting the front page. It's the exact same thing every time. X bumped from N.Y to N.Y+1. wow

Both the scripts in the repository and the README seem to be fully AI-generated. The README in particular seems to be a summary of Claude's thinking process. Also both the script and the README are full of assumptions related to the specific host/configuration this was used on

Huh, I was unaware that BG3 had a native Linux release, as it's not listed on the Steam store page. Turns out that they released it only for the Steam Deck. Strange

What about the USA, or China?

Crippling personal computing isn't a side-effect of massive investments in data centers, but rather one of the primary drivers for it.

There are laws that prevent you from committing suicide?

I'm in absolute disbelief at the existence of this website. Idiocracy is at an all-time high.

Theoretically anything is possible with enough thought and work.

What a pointless, useless article. The shitty generated graphics are just the cherry on the cake.

Just read the official Claude documentation:

Absolutely every single thing you could ever bet on can be rigged.

You're using a slop tool and expect it to produce anything but slop?

Slop.

You probably did. Pornography plays an important role in shaping and controlling today's societies and the powers that be will certainly push its distributors and creators more and more in the future.

Propaganda for billionaires and the various methodologies they use to control and slowly reshape society. The following video is a good start:

The optimism you mention in your comment is key. Conditioning the public to perceive and blindly accept the ideas and procedures commonly discussed in many of their videos as something net-positive seems to be the primary goal.

The art-style I think plays a very well-defined role in that: yes it's bland, but it's the most unlikely one to offend any one average viewer, irrespective of nationality or culture. It's just cute 2D flat birds after all.

Ignoring the fact that KURZGESAGT is a blatant propaganda conduit, the art-style they use in their animations is so flat and devoid of any personality at all, I'm actively repulsed by it.
