Every couple of years I try out the latest “assistant”. I ask very simple queries, stuff that you might expect it to be able to handle. It always disappoints hilariously.

Questions where previous assistants consistently and utterly failed: “What’s the weather going to be like today?” “I want to go to [address], using public transport, can you tell me which routes I have to take?” “What are my appointments today?”

You’d think these are pretty obvious use-cases, but every iteration of assistants was completely incapable of getting even close to a satisfying answer. I don’t expect LLMs to fare better this time around.

So you’re starting to hate reddit more than X. Understandable. I think the social media companies are lost, they had their time.

… so they can learn what ads you’re willing to tolerate.

I see trash like Fortnite not being available on Linux as an absolute win.

It’s getting so tiresome. Improve products? Improve service? Improve quality? Improve efficiency? Improve literally anything? Nahh, let’s slap an LLM on it and see whether we can fire some people.

This is fantastic! I played the multilayer mod back in the day and it was always a blast.

I finally started playing Suzerayn and it’s the perfect game for the current tumultuous times.

It’s about leading a country while managing issues like immigration, nationalism and the grip of superpowers.

I can’t stress how incredibly fitting it is right now. It’s also pretty great and very well written. You do have to love reading, though, it’s all about politics after all.

You’re right. An even shittier reddit that failed due to extreme greed before? What’s the point?

This is the correct answer.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

That is my impression, too.

Thank God I’m not on reddit anymore.

So?

I’ve been using it for weeks and I think I’ll stick with it. It feels fresh and relaxed at the same time.

C&C Generals is included? Oh my!
