I've been humming and harring about whether to block this community over the past week, but the sheer orangeness of your post has me convinced. Orange is the best.
I will remain for now.
Edit: do you usually keep your salt and pepper shakers on the stove???
Sorry for the delayed response, it took me a while to do the calculations but I finally figured it out:
It's magic.
I hope this helps.
Ah, that is not how your initial comment came across. Though I guess you realise that now.
I honestly don't recall ever encountering any bars on buying video games as a kid, or even knowing that ratings existed, though it could just be because my parents bought most of my games. I think you're right that very few people in Australia care about ratings. To me, it's clear that ratings are almost entirely arbitrary. It's obvious that big developers get more leeway in how their products are rated than smaller developers anyway.
It's probably the website geoblocking content and OP is not at fault for posting a low-value article as I initially thought; my bad. I don't want to disincentive people posting legitimate content, so my previous comment was uncalled for.
Edit: it’s both extremely telling and extremely concerning how much my rational take on consent is triggering all these pathetic men.
Your initial comment was rational, it was well-thought out and you made a fair point while ending the comment on a positive note. Left alone, I would have upvoted your well-considered opinion and moved on.
However, your follow up responses and your edit were unprovoked ad hominem sexist attacks where you assume everyone who disagrees is a mansplaining penis-wielder whose words have less value than your own. While having your views challenged can be confronting, responding in the manner you are only detracts from your argument.
Huh. I run a LLM locally on my own machine. Not looking forward to my next water bill.
Click on link. See no video. Close link.
Stop wasting my time.
Edit: Please disregard my comment OP, not your fault. As per below comment, it looks like the mentioned video is there, the website likely has geoblocking restrictions.
Australians do. As do international companies selling to the Australian market.
The title is presumptuous and does not encourage a healthy debate.
Historically, etymologically, are bivalves vegan? No, they are obviously not. But are you vegan because you are a linguist? Or are you vegan because you want to minimise the harm that you cause while continuing to live and thrive as a moral person? Limiting veganism to simplistic, poorly considered ideas such as what kingdom of organism they fall into is lazy and ill-considered. Like every other word in the English language, veganism is not bound to its original meaning.
I researched bivalves some time ago and decided, personally, that there just wasn't enough information (that I could interpret) available to me to determine whether they experienced pain, suffering, or any form of higher thought process. I decided that I would refrain from eating bivalves, as I just wasn't sure.
However, there are plants out there that are more sophisticated, and seemingly more intelligent, than organisms in the Animalia kingdom (e.g. most jellyfish).
I don't eat bivalves because I am unsure. I don't eat jellyfish because they taste like nothing. I don't eat honey, because bees clearly have some level of sentience. Idgaf about what some person in 1944 decided as the meaning of the word 'vegan' (though I respect the intent).
Many of the comments in this thread are criticising solely on the etymological basis of the word 'vegan' rather than the actual ethical consideration of the issue.
The question for these people, 'are you vegan because you genuinely care about the impact you have, or do you care more about rigid definitions with little consideration of the actual meaning?'
I think I've reached my limit of drama here. I'm more interested in vegan recipes and vegan news than the clashing of egos between people who just so happen to be vegan. Reckon it's high time to block this community.
This post makes me question my interpretation of events.
I have acquaintances who seem to have a paranoid belief that every other person in the world is a paedophile just waiting for an opportunity to kidnap their child. Growing up in the 90s, I had a great deal of freedom in comparison to this thought process. I played cricket on the streets, I walked around the neighbourhood without concern, I walked my dog in the evenings. My parents didn't seem to think I would be unsafe without them around to coddle me.
I guess no matter the generation there are parents who go too far in one extreme or another... Though tbh, being concerned about witchcraft seems more medieval than boomer. Sorry for your loss, but I'm glad you feel more free now. I imagine it must be a complex mix of emotions.
Can't help but notice that you've cropped out your prompt.
Played around a bit, and it seems the only way to get a response like yours is to specifically ask for it.
Honestly, I'm getting pretty sick of these low-effort misinformation posts about LLMs.
LLMs aren't perfect, but the amount of nonsensical trash 'gotchas' out there is really annoying.
