… a boost to your alchemy rating of several tens of thousands or percentage points. Having a delay at the start of that will, what, make it take an hour or two instead? But probably not even that, if the higher the stat the less time it takes to make potions.

I don't think this would help much against things like the 'Fortify Restoration loop' exploit, because in the base game you can quickly (within a half hour or so at most) get to the point where you have a 'Fortify Enchanting' potion that lets you enchant a ring with 'Fortify Alchemy' that gives (c)

Give them conversations they can't use to train more AIs with, because they don't dare let it touch their training data.

Basically, they CAN infinitely scale to any intelligence they want. They CAN make 'AGI' out of this. It CAN eventually do everything they say it can. But the cost will be so outrageous that nobody can afford it, not even them. That's why they're all saying they're 'slowing down development'; in (c)

… into the same line. That line still increased upward, but no matter what new technique was used, they all converged into the same exact 'at this size, you get this effective intelligence' line. It was a logarithmically plotted line too, so a straight diagonal line was actually exponential.

… bigger and bigger, the larger and larger they get. In other words, you get diminishing returns: with an 8B model, a 10B model isn't noticeably better.. But a 13B model is. With a 13B model, an 18B model isn't noticeably better.. But a 24B model is. And so on. As the size gets bigger, to make (c)

Some of the models are good enough to not output slop. The problem is that those models are proprietary and so resource-intensive to run that nobody else can even try, even if the model is leaked. The size a model needs to be to have a noticeably improved amount of intelligence keeps getting (c)

Everything is a job to Captain Cum. He finds no joy in hobbies, for they become jobs. Even masturbation has become just another job to slog through. I wonder what would happen if he were put in a chastity cage.

1000% valid to do. One of the reasons why fucked up porn art is a good thing, is that it can be used to not just safely explore one's own trauma, but also express how horrific that trauma really was.

Sometimes I only become interested in something after I hear a spoiler - the spoiler actually makes it more intriguing to me. Also, the biggest Star Wars spoiler is definitely that Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's clone, from the Clone Wars that Obi Wan mentions in the first movie.

I absolutely love this, for so many reasons! But no, this isn't 'crazy shit' yet. You have to be banned from at least one website due to the contents of your artwork for it to be 'crazy shit'.

Eh, I don't consider that to be a 'basic thing' when it comes to chat services... ... But I DO consider 'having several thousand people in one chat' to be a 'basic thing'. Usually it's the combination of both that complicates things, so not supporting either IS crazy.
