But unlike Google's version, Claude can accidentally regurgitate the entire text or passages from it, yes?

So it's not really internal and this judge is an imbecile, correct?

(I know that previous "AI" engines have been tricked into returning the original paintings and faces of people that they had ingested, so I assume this is also a possibility for this "AI" too.)

Ya think??

Oh no. Anyways…

Humorous rogue cyborgs aren't super common, alas. The tongue-in-cheek humor of it reminds me of Stainless Steel Rat a bit, and occasionally Larry Niven's stuff too. His Gil Hamilton character is pretty droll at times, and it comes through in some of his short stories about him. (For pure humor from Niven, try "The Flight of the Horse".)

You might try Strata by Terry Pratchett, which is a bit in both camps? It's a one-off, but a lot of fun. Can't say it has anything at all to do with rogue cyborgs though.

Egads, I was unaware that was as thing too. That's even stupider!

I feel like that was an engineered perception based in a vocal group of idiots, TBH. I played the second game at launch and it rocked me to my core. The story was strong in my opinion.

Pedro and Bella had good chemistry. Bella without Pedro? Not so much most of the time. Which is really frustrating because occasionally Bella shows a flash of brilliance and you’re like “OK, she can act.” But too many times Isabela has had to carry the scenes it feels like.

And Abby… I know they have said she doesn’t need to be physically jacked for the TV show, but I’m sorry, I am not really buying it. No offense to the actress they did choose, just not working in this particular role for me at all.

Having said all that, I am still basically enjoying Season 2? A lot of it is really well done, TBH. Just suffering from some unfortunate character dynamics that I think have disappointed a lot of viewers more than me apparently.

400 Boys was decent, I chuckled at Close Encounters and I did quite enjoy How Zeke Got Religion despite the whole WW2 bombers thing being pretty tired as a trope. The rest of them were pretty unmemorable, alas.

I was especially disappointed at Spider Rose? I don't know how that story didn't hit harder since Sterling is one of my favorite authors.

I mean I’ve been using DuoLingo for like a decade (only paid the last 2 years) and it’s been very useful until now.

I'll be looking for a new Spanish app when my subscription expires next year now, alas.

Honestly I have used Blue Sky and Mastodon and Mastodon feels a lot more elegant to me, personally.
