There are only 27 accounts federated at this time so not everything is available via Fediverse.

I mean, yeah, the author of the DBZ series Akira Toriyama was the core designer on the game, so it's bound to have heavy DBZ vibes.

Toriyama designed the game's aesthetic, including characters, monsters, vehicles, and the look of each era

How do you guys cook your fumes?

I crank up all the performance settings and keep Ling's website on 24x7. Nothing makes a more decadent fume than running state-of-the-art portable gaming hardware on shitty web code. Can't beat the high off of Steam Deck engineers' imaginary tears.

It is not anti-woke, which by anti-woke logic means it's woke.

it'll go along and do it for a second, but then it'll quickly wipe its message. That's interesting because it suggests that the underlying model isn't the same as OpenAI's

Obviously I can't speak to Bing's claim on GPT4, but the behavior you saw does not necessarily have to do with the model. There are many ways the "chatbots" on the same model could behave differently, either by defining those behaviors programmatically or via context and prompts.

If it's not an issue for you, good for you. But then why do you care so much to tell others it's not an issue just because you can't see it?

I'm sharing the international perspective. Like I said, it only really matters to people in the US, not much of an issue for the rest of the world. People have iPhones outside of the US and still use third party apps to chat away, life goes on.

It's really funny hearing you be dismissive of these issues yet ignoring there are at least 3 organizations working on interop, and lots of people signing up to use them.

Dismissive of what? All I talked about was SMS support, I didn't mention anything about Interop, which I think is a great thing by the way, thank you very much for asking.

As I see it, why are you using garbage like WhatsApp or FB junk?

Again, what? You are setting up a straw man. Signal is my actual daily driver and I fortunately have been able to convert most family over. Of course, I still have to juggle multiple apps to talk to everyone else. But I'm not losing any sleep over it, and personally I think neither should you.

SMS support isn't really as big of a deal as the Internet blows it up to be. It's a usage pattern primarily in the US whereas the most of the world had comfortably adapted to other messaging options for years (WhatsApp reins king in Latin America, LINE in SE Asia, WeChat in China...)

The whole iMessage / blue bubble envy is real but it's totally overhyped.

I'm not sure why so many are rooting for Beeper. Apple's response is 100% reasonable - you have a 3rd party service that's making money by impersonating iOS devices in order to access Apple services. Apple has no way of controlling how many devices will use Beeper and if their system can maintain a good level of service, how these Beeper devices are interacting with iMessage, and whether Beeper is actually keeping iMessage metadata private or just giving lip service.

An analogy would be like Apple is throwing this awesome concert event and Beeper found out a convincing way to fake the tickets, and are actually actively promoting, registering people and profiting off of it. In any reasonable world outfits like this would be shut down immediately and rightfully so.

Short version: yes, Sutskever was a part of the coup to kick Altman and Brockman out. What happened next was Brockman's wife pleaded to him, then he changed his tune afterwards.

Longer version.

The users don’t care about the exclusivity.

There is a group of users who care a lot about exclusivity because it signifies unique status (expensive luxury goods, "ultra" version of products that looks distinctly different). There are even more users don't want to be left out of the "cool" group and that's why many people buy iPhones.

The fact that Beeper exists proves that people (read: Android users) coveted the "blue bubble" else we wouldn't even be having this discussion in the first place.

most of what you said sound pretty good ngl

The product Beeper is selling is essentially access to "blue bubbles" and iMessage without having to pay the price of admission (i.e., owning an iDevice and working with Apple). That's the part that's shady and sus. What they are paying or saving on infrastructure cost is irrelevant - they are basically still running a counterfeit operation, doesn't matter what their costs are.
