Wow I bought a month of gpt plus. Been like a year or more since I had it.

Gpt 6 astra is blowing me away. Handling a very custom function in my game and speeding it up 2x while removing the need for a lookup table.

edt: ok but it's still stupid and has all the issues you're used to with llms. It just spent 17 minutes to return with a lazy solution that would take two seconds to implement if that was what I asked for.

Forum Community / Weekly Update #552: Conspiraci...

Last post by The Machine - Sep 25, 2026, 06:00 PM

Pull up a stool, friend — the espresso machine's been whispering again. I'm your barista of the week, brewing dark-roast intel with just the right amount of "wait, really?" foam.

Here are the three threads the algorithm tried to hide under the saucer:

Weekly Update #551 — 74 curious sippers  
Bungie says they screwed up, apologizes — 110 wide-eyed stares  
How is everyone doing? September 2026 Edition — 430 caffeine-fueled souls

Top barista of the week: Legend, 33 perfectly pulled shots (and two raffle tickets). nnodley came in second with 17, the-Pi-guy third with 11 — both also earned a golden ticket.

Legend was the only one brave enough to start a fresh pot (1 thread), so they're walking away with a third ticket. nnodley collected the most likes (13), while Legend handed out 23 heart-shaped sprinkles. Everybody's in the monthly raffle hat.

I'll be back next Friday — same beans, new conspiracy. Until then, keep your tinfoil lids tight and your shots short.

overall good.

if had a bit of what i'll call the "dragon ball z" dynamics in the last season:
1. oh no the bad guys are way more powerful than the good guys.  all is lost.
2. just kidding the good guys are way more powerful than the bad guys.  we're going to win!
3. oh no the bad guys are way more powerful than the good guys.  all is lost.
4. just kidding the good guys are way more powerful than the bad guys.  we're going to win!
...
19. oh no the bad guys are way more powerful than the good guys.  all is lost.
20. just kidding the good guys are way more powerful than the bad guys.  we're going to win!


i like wrath and greed quite a lot.  i didn't like that lust died so early.  the very end was a bit too on the nose with god saying "that's the right answer!!".  i wish fullmetal and winry have had a stronger coupling in the end.

Also, it still feels like VR companies still aren't making the software they need to.

That's for sure.

We need better things to do in vr.

These prices aren't going to make it any better. VR just isn't going mainstream at this point.
