I think a lack of enthusiasm has been kinda the default for me for as long as I remember

I've had life phases like that.

It doesn't bother me as much, today, as it did, in the past.

Now, I focus on the things worth avoiding while I wait for my enthusiasm to return.

For me, enthusiasm returns, in bursts, eventually.

Thanks. I think every data point helps people.

I can't say that particularly shocks me. I imagine that Chat GPT has probably swallowed dozens of Physics textbooks.

The bigger part of the problem is knowing where we are on the human knowledge novelty / training data available curve, or rather, when we need to get off of the ride.

Edit: Any chance your chosen AI has access to Wolfram Alpha as an MCP Tool? Because that would be very different, too.

If it's successful at math, there's likely much more than a learning model in play.

Which brings us back to the opacity problem. :(

If the answer machine has been cleverly rigged (and weighted) to pass off math questions to more capable software, things can be great.

But a person who just hears that AI can do math now can have a very bad time if they go blindly use a brute force pleasant answer machine on a math problem. :(

I had these runs early on, as well - where the rock I need to win simply is not present, or is so rare that I would have needed to be an expert to mine it.

They seem to have improved the randomizer, since then. I haven't had that happen, lately - where the ore I need is too rare.

Also, mods that slash the ammo refill costs to 40 go a long way toward making DRG a much more relaxed gameplay.

Great recommendation!

And there is an accessible game play mode available that turns off the dome defense portion of the game, as well.

For simple math that could work, and as long as the question is close enough to an exact match with plenty of published examples to copy.

A good rule of thumb is that the script it will come up with is about as likely to be correct as blindly taking the highest voted answer to the most similar question on Stack Overflow.

If the question is simple and common, the odds are quite good. If the question is nuanced or rare, the odds of a correct result drop off aggressively.

Edit: Your mileage may vary - providing an API to these LLMs that can do math correctly for them is pretty easy. Getting the LLM to consistently detect when to use that API is more challenging.

You've misspelled "Fuck JK Rowling" there, mate.

I'm beginning to suspect we're allowed to swear here...

Good one. The only worthy reply I can think of:

Spoiler for TitanicFuck JK Rowling

Voxlibre has solid cozy / accessible settings, and great multiplayer support. (And is free!)

I would have loves Terraria with combat turned off. Thanks, I didn't realize that's an option, now.

+1 to Palworld. The difficulty/accessibility settings are very good for achieving co-op chill vibes.

Certain algorithms do require knowing which way to orient the cube first, so some knowledge of the state of the cube is required.
