I mean, they listen sometimes. But the point is, they, as any other company, were doing it to pretend that they are cool and progressive. As the result they got mostly negative reactions. So why bother with the effort if you're only gonna reduce your already dwindling player base. IIRC, they were very small symbolic events anyway.

I'm pretty sure this happened because sooo many players complained about the event the last times. I remember boycotts and stuff.

I'm not saying Jagex isn't bad, but this time it's on players.

In my experience, when using reasoning models, it can count, but not very consistently. I've tried random assortments of letters and it can count them correctly sometimes. It seems to have much harder time when the same letter repeats many times, perhaps because those are tokenized irregularly.

I don't know what part of what I said prompted all those downvotes, but of course all the reasonable people understood, that the "AGI in 2 years" was a stock price pump.

I was participating in the comment section of that post, and I was actually defending the ~~criticism of~~* using AI for memes, but I agree that mods over there are... a little too proactive. Like, I was debating with a person and their comments were getting removed. Sure, I disagreed with that person, but their comments weren't particularly outrageous as to be removed.

On the other hand, it seems that both communities have a couple "outspoken vegan" kind of members whose intent is to be the guy from "stop having fun!" meme. Which causes mod overreaction.

Ok, thanks! Good to know there's a backup plan. For now Arc still works fine, just no updates anymore.

Does any other browser let me open 2 windows with the same synced tabs? Also, permanent per-space tabs, please.

This IS human expression. Human had a concept and realized it using a tool. Human expression comes in many shapes and forms. How is this any less effort than adding caption to a template image, which is 80% of regular memes? IMO, you're just biased and don't treat it fairly.

Yes, really. And I actually think I was quite conservative with time requirements.

And why can't you only judge the idea/joke aspect of the work? Sure, the execution didn't require much effort, but the point was to convey* the idea/joke.

Are holodeck programs in StarTrek automatically worthless because to create them people merely instruct the Computer what and where to put?

What kind of logic is that? The tool exists and it takes 30 seconds to achieve a comparable result to what would've taken 10-30 minutes doing manually depending on user's skills. Is it only ok to use image generation for hard-to-do stuff?

That's nice. But it already seemed pretty accurate to me.
