  • The thing is, liberal means something rather specific to me - open, against regulations. If you’re socially liberal, I’m probably on board. If your liberal regarding the financial market, we’ll probably disagree.

    I suppose someone who is extremely liberal in all regards following this definition would be what most people in the U.S. would call a libertarian.

    In the end, shouting at clouds about me thinking that people are using words wrong won’t do much, and generally I’m very open to language evolving, but this one always gets me because it’s one region specifically using it differently than what I learned.




  • At the moment, LLMs just aren’t very good at writing anything that is interesting. I experimented with it a bit for shits and giggles, and tried out several different local Models and online Services.

    I’m not saying that it’s impossible it’ll improve, but for me as someone who enjoys writing, having your writing done by a tool just misses the point. I like to write because it allows me to express myself, and off loading parts of that process to a tool makes it less personal, less me.

    I won’t judge anyone with a different opinion, but for me, part of the enjoyment of reading also comes from seeing how the author and their experiences colour their writing, which usage of such a tool, in a way, also diminishes. At the moment, I just can’t see an avenue to the prevalence of LLMs making creative writing better.












  • Nice, I’ll probably try that.

    C:S2 does city services via walking paths too, and even though it’s mostly car based, you can get pretty high public transport adoption rates with proper planing. It’s even relatively easy to fund free public transport (because the economy is too easy in general, but still). It’s just frustrating that it’s still full of tech issues this long after launch.

    Anyways, I’ll stop ranting, and thanks for the reccomendation.
