Supposedly vtubers need to make very exaggerated facial expressions irl in order to make sure the software picks it up and translates it onto the model, which is sometimes unsettling to people when they get in the habit of doing that normally.

Mobile UI. It sucks. Yet the majority of people online are now connecting from it, and everything wants to be an app.
I wonder if the real reason credit card companies have been responsive to these groups is the potential for lawsuits that drag payment processors into them, which is a result of various shitty laws that have been passed to generally empower these sorts of regressive trolls to do so. If so petitions from the other side might not be as effective, because they can be sued for providing services to the wrong people but not so much for cutting off service, and there's not much actual risk to them even if a lot of people are mad about the latter.
Others joined in: "Yep, I'm canceling as well, this is asinine." Soon after, moderators locked the Reddit thread and removed the original post.
Yeah that checks out
the main function of the contemporary media: to convey the message that even if you’re clever enough to have figured out that it’s all a cynical power game, the rest of America is a ridiculous pack of sheep.
This is the trap.

That's implying that the quality of information from other sources is always better, but I'm saying that's sometimes not true; when you're trying to figure out the syntax for something, documentation and search engines have failed you, and the traditional next step would be to start contacting people or trying to find the answer in unfamiliar source code, sometimes a LLM can somehow just tell you the answer at that point and save the trouble. Of course you have to test that answer because more often than not it will just make up a fake one but that just takes a few seconds.
There are some situations I'm going back to search engines as a first option though, like error messages, LLMs seem to like to get tunnel vision on the literal topic of the error, while search results will show you an unintuitive solution to the same problem if it's a very common one.
You’re no better off than if you did an internet search and tried to figure out who’s giving good advice, or just fumbled your own way through the docs in the first place.
These have their own problems ime. Often the documentation (if it exists) won't tell you how to do something, or it's really buried, or inaccurate. Sometimes the person posting StackOverflow answers didn't actually try running their code, and it doesn't run without errors. There are a lot of situations where a LLM will somehow give you better answers than these options. It's inconsistent, and the reverse is true also, but the most efficient way to do it is to use all of these options situationally and as backups to each other.
It sounds like what they want to do is write an essay from extensive personal experience (presumably the topic of the essay is being critical of the education system), but since that isn't accepted they have to find articles about the same topic. IMO there is nothing wrong with writing an essay based on personal experience.
Disappointing but not surprising that the chosen solution to increasing swaths of the population no longer being supported by our economy is concentration camps. I honestly don't think it's that far fetched that the endgame here is they literally kill us all while acting like it's our own fault, and the America of the future is just robots and genetic clones of billionaires.
It turned out to be exactly what it was designed to be, a tool for making financial transactions online without needing anyone's permission.
I don't buy that, why would they have to care what these people think? Credit card companies have a history of being hostile to adult content, I think it's because the people who own them have an interest in controlling others.
Hmmm
