  • Although the chatbot had been given a “baseline board” to learn the game and identify pieces, it kept mixing up rooks and bishops, misread moves, and “repeatedly lost track” of where its pieces were. To make matters worse, as Caruso explained, ChatGPT also blamed Atari’s icons for being “too abstract to recognize” — but when he switched the game over to standard notation, it didn’t perform any better.

    For an hour-and-a-half, ChatGPT “made enough blunders to get laughed out of a 3rd grade chess club” while insisting over and over again that it would win “if we just started over,” Caruso noted. (And yes, it’s kind of creepy that the chatbot apparently referred to itself and the human it was interfacing with as “we.”)

    It’s fucking insane it couldn’t keep track of a board…

    And it’s concerning how confident it is that it will work, because the idiots asking it stuff will believe it. It’ll keep failing and keep saying next time will work, because it’s built to maximize engagement.














  • Had a port call back in the day with an Aussie ship and a Russian sub.

    Long story, but it was kind of coordinated and they cut us all loose in Florida for a weekend as some kind of good will thing. (Basically a mini fleet week)

    The first day when we walked down the pier there was a guy who took a lawn chair and a cooler to the very top of the Aussie ship and the guy just got wasted up there till we came back and hurled kind hearted insults at us for not being able to stay out later and keep drinking.

    So the next day we asked the Aussies what the fuck was going on with that dude…

    Apparently he was the captain of their ship, and just did shit like that.



  • Because of the autistic community, there is a wealth of information on airports and what happens.

    So I’m pretty confident that you can look up your specific airports and find out everything about them.

    The layover is a good thing. It is incredibly unlikely you miss the connection when you have two hours. So you’ll be fine, but look up videos on the airports to reassure yourself.
