The trick is to "shock" the eggs. Whenever they are done boiling, place them in cold water. Some people use an ice bath, but I've always seen that as overkill. What I do is run the cold tap, get my pot and drain it while keeping the eggs under the stream of cold water. It only takes a few seconds, after which you can take out the eggs and they will dry right away because the inside is still hot.

The idea is to rapidly cool the hard outer shell, which causes it to contract. This releases the inside of the shell from the egg white.

Thanks Oboba!

And keep in mind: these ships took weeks to cross the ocean. It wasn't like they were stuffed in the back of a truck for an afternoon, they were crammed in like sardines for weeks. Imagine when the seas get rough and the only reason they don't go flying is because they are packed in so tight. It's a miracle any of them made it alive and many of them didn't.

Whilst I agree with the simple fact LLMs are in no way sentient, sapient or anything of the sort, I disagree with his argument. His argument boils down to: I can create this small part of a greater whole in a game, anything in the game isn't sentient therefor the whole thing cannot be sentient.

But when we assume a human is sentient and look at the basic building blocks of our brains, the same equivalence can be made. Let's say for our brains to do the brain thing all it needs is neurons (reality is much more complex, but for the sake of argument). I think nobody would argue the neuron itself is the bit that is sentient. And we even have a whole bunch of neurons working very similar to how they work in our brains together in small animals, we don't consider them sentient. We can even simulate the neurons working together in a computer (even in AoE2 if it's Turing complete) and we don't consider the computer or any of the parts sentient. So what's the difference?

I feel the difference is both scale and complexity. It isn't the parts of our brain that are sentient, it's the whole thing. And I'd even go further and say the brain as an abstract isn't enough, it has to be a brain that has been filled with memories, experience, input and output. Then the whole is considered sentient. It isn't the matter itself, it's the actual processes that we consider to be sentient.

When one would simulate a human brain perfectly, but had not connected any input or output. Had not let it see the world, learn and experience, been given senses and time to processes them, then the result would probably not be considered sentient. A small baby or a person with severe brain damage or even brain dead isn't sentient (at least not by most metrics). If the infrastructure is there, but the software isn't running, it's lacking the thing required to be considered sentient.

TLDR: Sentience is an emergent property of a large and complex system. Proving that a small part of that system isn't sentient isn't the same as proving the whole isn't sentient. LLMs still aren't sentient tho, I disagree with the reasoning, not the conclusion.

I call in the legendary hero Trogdor and he burninates your horsie

Holy shit you have got to be kidding me.

When they said they are using AI I thought it was like a lot of scientists and engineers use "AI". Like some sort of expert system with a neural network somewhere in the guts. Some math thing that gets labeled as AI to keep the funding going.

But they are actually using Grok. An LLM. A bullshit generation machine.

They are actually going "@grok Where do we bomb the brown people?"

That's fucking batshit insane. They don't actually think that it is an AI right? They don't actually think it can reason or think at all? Or solve problems? Or any of the things that would actually be useful, instead of simply generating the next most probable piece of bullshit in a long line of never ending bullshit.

This world is actually fucking insane. The amount of brain washing going on when it comes to AI is wild.

Ew I hate it when AI use words like "brutal" and "real"

Is it still shipping if they canonically get together?

Optimal tip-to-tip efficiency?

Oh no I fell victim to one of the classic blunders!

It's fucking diabolical ain't it

I didn't learn what "shipping" was, and that it was a common thing, until recently. But my mind and soul already knew back in 1993 exactly what shipping was.

Yeah this is called AI washing. Basically firing people, outsourcing all the jobs, stripping a company till there is nothing left. The goal is to maximize profits till the company is basically dead and then sell the husk. Because it's done under the AI label, customers and other interested parties see it as being innovative and not just money grabbing.
