Same for people who've drunk tap water! Makes me wonder what they're really putting in our water...

Practically impossible for this developer? Maybe. Technically impossible? No.

We do have realtime GI solutions which don't require raytracing (voxel cone tracing, sdfgi, screenspace, etc). None of which require any 'special' hardware.

Raytracing is just simpler and doesn't need as much manual work to handle cases where traditional rasterisation might fail (eg; light leaking). But there's not many things it can do which we can't already achieve with rasterisation tricks.
Raytracing is mostly useful for developers who don't have the time/budget/skillset to get the same visual quality with traditional rasterisation.

However, in an industry which seems to prioritise getting things released as cheaply and quickly as possible, we're starting to see developers rely heavily on raytracing, and not allocating many resources into making their non-rt pipeline look nice.
Some are even starting to release games which require raytracing to work at all, because they completely cut the non-rt pipeline out of their budget.

So I'd argue that you're incorrect in theory, but very correct in practise (and getting even more correct with time).

I only use lemmy regularly.
I'll still check specific subreddits which don't have a lemmy equivalent, but not that often, and never signed in or with the official app.

And then a few days later, hundreds of students and teachers protested this event in NYC.
Thousands of workers in the area then attacked the protestors and rioted throughout the city in retaliation.
The police formed a barrier to prevent the workers from reaching the students, but when this was breached, they gave up and allowed the rioters to attack the students/teachers.

The mayor called out the police for not attempting to stop the violent workers, and three days later the workers began their own protests against the 'commie' mayor.

The president later appointed the main guy leading these counter protests as his labor secretary.

Just typical american shit.

Do you say shit like that because nobody can tell the difference between your watch and a cheap one?

So, hormones don't exist?
Intersex people don't exist?
Trans people don't exist?
And what, we're all either 100% male or 100% female and there is never a grey area in biology?

Don't make the conscious decision to remain ignorant, you're keeping yourself back.

Looks like a piet program

Ooh look at mr hundredair over here, thinking he's better than the rest of us. You'll get what's coming to ya, pal.

And don't think for one second that I'll be turning a blind eye to the rest of you positive balance freaks.

That's a great question! Let's go over the common factors which can typically be used to differentiate humans from AI:

🧠 Hallucination
Both humans and AI can have gaps in their knowledge, but a key difference between how a person and an LLM responds can be determined by paying close attention to their answers.

If a person doesn't know the answer to something, they will typically let you know.
But if an AI doesn't know the answer, they will typically fabricate false answers as they are typically programmed to always return an informational response.

✍️ Writing style
People typically each have a unique writing style, which can be used to differentiate and identify them.

For example, somebody may frequently make the same grammatical errors across all of their messages.
Whereas an AI is based on token frequency sampling, and is therefore more likely to have correct grammar.

❌ Explicit material
As an AI assistant, I am designed to provide factual information in a safe, legal, and inclusive manner. Speaking about explicit or unethical content could create an uncomfortable or uninclusive atmosphere, which would go against my guidelines.

A human on the other hand, would be free to make remarks such as "cum on my face daddy, I want your sweet juice to fill my pores." which would be highly inappropriate for the given context.

🌐 Cultural differences
People from specific cultures may be able to detect the presence of an AI based on its lack of culture-specific language.
For example, an AI pretending to be Australian will likely draw suspicion amongst Australians, due to the lack of the word 'cunt' in every sentence.

💧Instruction leaks
If a message contains wording which indicates the sender is working under instruction or guidance, it could indicate that they are an AI.
However, be wary of predominantly human traits like sarcasm, as it is also possible that the commenter is a human pretending to be an AI.

🎁 Wrapping up
While these signs alone may not be enough to determine if you are speaking with a human or an AI, they may provide valuable tools in your investigative toolkit.
Resolving confusion by authenticating Personally Identifiable Information is another great step to ensuring the authenticity of the person you're speaking with.

Would you like me to draft a web form for users to submit their PII during registration?

Cool, so I'll get started on building an automated business that sells cheap access to all the music, movies and shows on the streaming services.

Getting consent for each title would basically kill my business and would be implausible, so I'll just assume it's ok.

I liked the visuals / cinematography of the 2021 version, but I haven't gotten around to watching part 2 because I'm not really invested in the story.
It felt like a lore dump that didn't really build much connection to the characters, followed by a bit of action and some heavy sequel-baiting.

Totally understandable.
Sounds like you have plenty of more important things to focus on right now.

It probably sounds like I'm really trying to sell you on games now, but did you know there's games and mods built specifically for blind people?
I'm not saying you or your wife should play them, I just thought it was an interesting coincidence, as I've actually developed a couple of audio games before.

Anyway, I'll leave you to go focus on what matters, not my rambling or videogames.
