I heard some complaints so I went back and tried a different area. Spent two hours on the north, was not at all as good as the west. Was still fine, good, but just felt standard sokoban even though the rules were clever.

Lol.
I just had a crazy one. 
I asked it if there's a different function to use to pull groups.
It responded with "Make sure you're not using the group name like GetGroups("GroupName"). Make sure you're using the GUID GetGroups("GUID");
Except, it had the actual group names and guid for it, even though I didn't give it that information. 
And I asked where it got the guid, and it said, that it's just illustrative.

Aw yes, it just pulled a random example name which happened to match yours. Easy peasy.

["GroupName"]

Oh I hate stuff like that. The gaslighting is crazy

"That said, it looks like the same kind of GUID you'd see for a group such as "GroupName", which you currently have open in Entra."

TL;DR

• The GUID I showed was illustrative
• You must use your group's Object ID from Entra
• Names and display names will not work

I feel like I've had better luck with coding lately.

Even on a local model, I've had it generate some nice web pages. And I haven't had to fix very much at all. 

On the other end of it. Sometimes I feel like I get weirdly bad luck. Like a few days ago, I tried a story with an LLM, and it did a great job coming up with different variations. But yesterday, I was really struggling. It kept becoming incoherent.  And it felt like it wasn't listening to what I was asking.  

The llms do not know anything. It's hallucinations all the way down, they just get those hallucinations correct most of the time.

You're reminding me of a FB post that a friend wrote:
"Technically speaking, AI only hallucinates. But we don't usually call it a hallucination unless it deviates from what we expect; either by breaking logical structure or losing context."

It felt obvious when I read it, but I really appreciate seeing people flip from the usual perspective.

Yeah I mean it has to be WAY overvalued(like most things lately) so I expect some sort of correction. I wish I was in a better position to invest, but alas I am not.

Just fudgy crazy that a space company, a SPACE COMPANY!!!, is the 5th most valuable company in the world.


It is about to be unlike anything we've ever known.

I should have bought at the start 

It'll crash, someday, but it overtook Amazon.

I do understand that studios need to be profitable and bring in money for xbox/MS, but MS is a MASSIVE company. If they really wanted to show fans that they are serious about xbox they wouldn't even be contemplating this right now.  They would be trying to right it and get some new unique/cool stuff out as exclusives.  But MS is gonna MS and this is all gonna crash and burn for them, imo. The damage is done and people just really don't care about xbox anymore(except the super die hard fans)

Satya has already made it clear they're no longer subsidising Xbox. They have to run themselves now basically.

how that "stabilize XBOX" thing going to work out after this?   a platform is an investment by the players into an ecosystem and Xbox just looks like a bad investment.  

MS should just get close Xbox and get it over with.   they are a 3rd party publisher already.

Yeah it just sucks.

But at least before this news, people were really expecting MS to turn things around. The fans are willing to believe any comeback story.
