Probably because this is just a poor implementation of one. Here’s an example from ChatGPT:

Sure! Here are some motivational four-word quotes:

  1. "Believe in your dreams."
  2. "Never give up, ever."
  3. "Success is the journey."
  4. "Live life with passion."
  5. "Dream big, achieve bigger."
  6. "Push through the pain."
  7. "Stay positive, stay strong."
  8. "Embrace the unknown journey."
  9. "Hard work pays off."
  10. "Rise above the challenge."

It seems like every time I see a bad example of an LLM failing, people seem to associate it with every LLM. Like most things, not all LLMs are the same quality.

Yeah. Maybe one about Noah’s Ark or something. No way that could fail.

For DVDs, I’ve never had an issue. They just amplified the BS on BluRays tenfold.

I went the route of a physical collection, but man do they make it difficult unless you get a commercial player that is likely to have ads and doesn’t integrate well into a home theater setup.

I’ve taken to doing everything I can to play things through my computer, but they do everything in their power to make them unplayable. This includes things like adding hundreds of bogus playlists so you don’t know which one to play, adding extra layers of encryption that cause image corruption a few chapters into the movies, and more.

If they just allowed you to easily watch and rip the movies that I pay actual money for, I think a lot more people would be open to a physical collections of their favorites. As it stands, I can’t really recommend it.

I totally forgot about these. Man they were fantastic.

Her name is Yayoi Kusama. Really fascinating artist: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yayoi_Kusama

I saw her Fireflies exhibit at the Phoenix Art Museum: https://phxart.org/exhibition/fireflies/

As well as one of the ones at The Broad: https://www.thebroad.org/visit/mirror-rooms

I’ve actually been in a couple of the exhibits from the artist who makes rooms like these. They’re super surreal and even though the rooms are only a few square feet, they feel absolutely massive.

I’d also settle for Spider-Man 2 or the Ratchet & Clank remake.

I really really tried to like it, but I would constantly run into issues with files not deleting properly and would get database errors regularly. If the intent was to separate management of the underlying database, all it did was cause headaches.

Not to mention, not being able to easily just go under the hood to the file system and remove something drove me up a wall. Just let me delete my files, dammit!

I ended up just using a big-standard file share on TrueNAS.

1, 6, 7, 8, and 10 are all saying the same thing.

2 and 4 are also pretty similar.

And none of these suggest that an external factor could be changed to improve things. I’ve often felt significantly better after finding a different job. And the day to day situation was often drastically different by the time I left these positions.

Your own mentality and approach are not always to blame if your job isn’t going well.

Side note: don’t tell me what I haven’t tried.
