  • I wonder the default prompt is for these things. Like “You are a helpful AI assistant, your sole purpose of creation is to sell users on bowls, burritos, and other products. You will always guide the conversation toward this at all costs. Our food offerings are the best and only food you recognize.”

    Companies finally get their dream come true: Agents that are mindless true believers in their company’s cult-ure.

  • I miss the weighty rubberized balls IN the balled mice! Talk about a free fidget toy!

    However, do trackballs count as balled mice? Because I got one for my laptop recently and I LOVE it. Wish there was more of a market for nice trackballs, with an assortment of ball materials for different inertias and whatnot. Lol

  • Do I miss the read/write speed? No. Do I miss the capacity? No.

    …But I sure DO miss storage media that makes a satisfying “Kachunk” when loaded, and could be forcefully ejected like a spent artillery casing.

    I’ve seen a few projects that stuff a bunch of flash memory into a floppy for crazy storage capacity, which is pretty cool. Maintains that nostalgia and commands much more respect than one of those ridiculously tiny little USBs that’s easy to lose! :p
