I never had the desire to hop into a dead online game out of curiosity and I think at least 99.9% of players feel the same way.

I still play CoD: Modern Warfare 2 (the first one that was called that) multiplayer, using a third party client for a game that was basically dead by like 2014.

Some games are just good, and the flavor of the week stuff sometimes isn't as good.

    Dropping babies at fire stations is a trend way older than any firefighter currently alive. They all know what the intent is if they find an unattended baby.

    Some of them might take a bit before they realize it's actually serious though.

    If I need help I'm sure as hell not calling the cops. The cops are only useful if the situation would be improved by a crazed gunman suddenly showing up and shooting anything that moves.

    There are situations, granted, where that's an improvement. But not many.

    A torture device is useful for extracting information.

    No it fucking isn't! This is a great analogy, actually, thank you for bringing it up. A person being tortured will tell you literally anything that they believe will stop you from torturing them. They will confess to crimes that never happened, tell you about all their accomplices who don't exist, and all their daily schedules that were made up on the spot. Torture is useless but morons think it is useful. Just like AI.

    Language without meaning is garbage. Like, literal garbage, useful for nothing. Language is a tool used to express ideas, if there are no ideas being expressed then it's just a combination of letters.

    Which is exactly why LLMs are useless.

    We'll have to agree to disagree then. If you don't want to catch fire, don't sexually assault people.

    Somehow I've managed to live nearly 3 decades without sexually assaulting anyone. You can do it too! I believe in you!
