How well does a pressure cooker keep a cooked batch of rice throughout the day?

What's this thing you call FM?

Right, I see where the confusion comes from. I mention current LLMs to say that the architecture and pre-training procedure we currently have produce models that are already capable of generating the type of outputs that can be used in this context. I make no claims about the quality of the output, but some additional fine-tuning on the game's specific story can take things very far.

When you say LLMs are not AI, I'm guessing what you mean is that they are not artificial general intelligence (AGI), and that I agree with. But AI is very broad, including things as simple as A* search. Decision trees aren't any more AGI than LLMs and they've been able to produce some very compelling stories, so this isn't a very good argument. We don't need AGI to write good stories.

The compute resources required for these models is something that can be fixed as well. On the hardware side, consumer hardware are continuously getting more powerful over time. On the software side, we're also seeing a lot of great results from the smaller 7b parameter models, and these are general purpose language models. If you just need something for your one game, you can likely distill the model into something much smaller.

The training data that we used for the current generation of LLMs are already out there and curated. We know that this dataset can achieve the performance of today's LLMs, and you can continue to train on that same data in the future. As long as you control where your new data comes from, this is not an issue.

So if they're required to ask the parents before using a name/pronoun different from the one they were originally provided, is there anything stopping teachers from preemptively getting permission from all parents?

Current LLMs being bad at it doesn't mean they'll always be bad at it. Their current state is the worst they're ever going to be, and we're talking about a hypothetical future here. I don't see any reason why they can't be improved into a state usable for writing a story with all the worldbuilding details provided.

Why wouldn't they? It's a lot easier to write out intricate backstories for each character/location independently than it is to build decision trees for every possible combination of decisions that the player makes. That's basically what current LLMs allow for.

Bots don't click on ads and buy stuff though. I'm pretty sure anyone buying ads are going to be measuring this.

My Lemmy app decided to crash on me right as I pressed the post button and didn't save any of what I wrote :/

You're going to be better off taking a premade program that is known to work and adjusting it to your needs rather than trying to fix all the problems with what you're currently doing. Check out some of the programs suggested to you and start from there.

As for deadlifts, they're intimidating for sure. Some options for you:

  • Look for someone deadlifting at your gym and ask for a form check. The bigger they are, the friendlier they'll usually be.
  • Post a form check video here and we'll gladly give you some feedback. Film it from the side.
  • If you want to do some reading, there's some very detailed technique guides I can share with you.
  • Trap bar deadlifts tend to be easier for most people to naturally perform correctly. If you have the equipment for that, it's a viable alternative for straight bar deadlifts in the mean time.

Sometimes, you end up at a party consisting of only neurodivergent people and the entire party just takes place in the kitchen.

I love guitars at parties. You don't play with the intention of being the focus of everyone's attention, but rather to provide some background music to fit the mood of the ongoing conversation around you.
