The Player of Games in which a smart nerd like themselves get recruited as an agent to bring down an empire a bit like our own by being really really good at games.
I'm sorry, I have no idea what this book is, but calling it "The Player of Games" is so funny to me.
adjust fedora I am not a gamer, I am A Player of Games
Chat-GPT is more powerful than anyone on earth (if you squint)
xD
No sorry, let me rephrase,
Lol, lmao
How do you even grace this with a response. Shut your eyes and loudly sing "lalalala I can't hear you"
Just the usual stuff religions have to do to maintain the façade, "this is all true but gee oh golly do NOT live your life as if it was because the obvious logical conclusions it leads to end in terrorism"
You must first read this 4500-word blogpost, and possibly one or two 3000-word follow-up blogposts”.
This, coming from LW, just has to be satire. There's no way to be this self-unaware and still remember to eat regularly.
Not doing your due dilligence during recruitment is stupid, but exploiting that is still unethical, unless you can make a case for all of those companies being evil.
Like if he directly scammed idk just OpenAI, Palantir, and Amazon then sure, he can't possibly use that money for any worse purposes.
Ah ok, I'm aware of what this is, just never heard "work trial" used.
In my head it sounded like a free demo of how insufferable your new job is going to be
This is so funny, I don't think I've seen this before
Like imagine a cryptobro circa 2020 being like "no, we're not early, this is actually the honeymoon phase and it'll just get worse"
My immediate gut reaction to a rule as general as this is that there's fat chance it's universally applicable, there will always be cases where active would be clunky.
Like I can't imagine an RPG protagonist exclaiming that "Someone trapped this chest!" instead of the 100% more natural "This chest was trapped!"
This article is wild already, on the first page there's this quote
‘Do not use the passive voice when such use makes a statement clumsy and wordy. . . Do not, by using the passive voice, leave the agent of the verb vaguely indicated, when the agent should be clearly identified.’ [Edwin Woolley, Handbook of Composition, 1907, p. 20]
Emphasis mine on... a clear usage of the passive! In active this would have to be "when you should clearly identify the agent" or something of the like, the fuck, how hard is it to not expose your whole ass like this mate
Wait what, TIL there was/is a crusade against... the passive fucking voice?
Some people just need to invent problems for their life to feel meaningful, don't they
so businesses and employees who get real value out of the stuff.
I have really bad news about what percentage that would be
It seems that the test itself is generated by autoplag? At least that's how I understand the PS and one of the comments about "vibe regression" in response to an error
