i think, from what i remember, the creators talked about how the silco was inspired by thomas shelby and the origjnal concept (the blonde one) looked like him more and that's where the undercut hairstyle originally came from (and stuck through the redesign).

but then they tweaked his appearance to resemble the VA after hearing the voicelines.

Spurious Latin plurals are great fun if you're a specific flavour of nerd, but improperly constructed verb tenses are a game anyone can play. The past tense of "screenshot" is "screenshat".

ChatGPT can be a useful tool when you know how to use it. I've used it to write a 50 pages assigment to validate a diploma, once and I still use it ocasionnally at work.

As OP said, you can't use it to think for you. It cant' research because it doesn't know how to sort the valid and serious sources and informations from the trash.

It can however break the blank page syndrome for you. I struggle a lot with it even when I know exactly what I want to say.

So, once I did all my researches and drew my own conclusions for it, I wrote everything as a list (anonymizing and changing key informations so to not diffuses any private informations).

For each chapter, I asked chatGPT to write paragraphs with all the informations in the list. I then went back and corrected everything, deleted repetitions and weird sentences.

It's just a tool to work more efficiently. At work I often have legal documents or small articles to write and I don't have time to muse about the tone and the wording. So I ask chatGPT to write me a template with the informations in want to say, and I correct after.

Again, it can't think for me, it can't research and it certainly can't be critical. It's not an AI like we imagine it. It doesn't have opinions besides the ones it compiled, it can't be critical about what it's saying. It's just extremely fast at searching templates ans similar works and mash them together.

In the same way an artist can buy premade paints instead of each ingredients and painstakingly make their own paint one by one, an Ai can cut the "preparation" time of your writing. But it can't take your imagination and translating on a canva for you.

it's so fucking frustrating to be in college and know everyone uses chatgpt and to be tempted by it constantly while also knowing intellectually that it doesn't work and it's a bad idea. like, i hang out in the library a lot, and i see people using chatgpt on assignments almost every day. and i know it isn't a good way to learn, because it's not really "artificial intelligence" so much as it is an auto text generator. and it gives you wrong information or badly worded sentences all the time. but every week i stare down assignments i don't want to do and i think man. if only i could type this prompt into a text generator and have it done in 10 minutes flat. and i know it wouldn't work. it wouldn't synthesize information from the text the way professors want, it wouldn't know how to answer questions, it just spits out vaguely related words for a couple paragraphs. but knowing my classmates get their work done in 10 minutes flat with it while i fight every ounce of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in my body is infuriating.

for no reason whatsoever here’s a reminder that if you consider yourself a leftist/punk/abolitionist/anarchist/radical in any sort of way and get called into jury duty, you are to become the most square person on earth during the jury questionnaire!!!

don’t be that guy who says fuck the police in the jury questionnaire! that just gets you sent home! if you want to generate change, interact with the case and use your jury vote for good! ESPECIALLY if it’s a high profile case!

Sometimes it feels like you've lived your whole life in a house that's always a little bit on fire. Like it's usually just in one room and you make sure to wet the walls around it so it doesn't spread and that usually works. You were expected to take more responsibility over fire containment when you were like seven because it's not like you can expect your parents to always be 100% on guard about making sure the whole house doesn't catch fire, and you figure that's just how things are like.

And sometimes as a kid you visit your friends' homes and some of then whisper to you - grimacing with embarrassment - about how they're not supposed to tell anyone this, but there's a whole room in their house that's currently on fire. And you're like yeah it's ok I'm not supposed to tell people about the way our house is a little bit on fire all the time, too. And then you visit some other friend's house and there's no trace of fire anywhere, and you think "wow, these people are really good at hiding their house fire."

And one day you show up to work like "hey sorry I'm late, I forgot to wet the walls before going to bed last night and my whole house burned down", and you're startled by the way people react, acting like that must be the worst thing that has ever happened to you. And you're just like "chill, it's been years since the last time this happened, and it wasn't even that bad this time", and that just makes people more shocked, acting like that's the weirdest and most concerning thing they've ever heard anyone say, which only confuses you more.

And then someone tries to explain to you that people aren't supposed to have an ongoing house fire. Most people actually never experience a house fire in their lives. Like not even once. Not even a little bit. The normal amount of having your house be currently on fire is zero.
