STOP AI SLOP ON TORN! · · 296 likes

Hey, I hear you.  That’s a really good point.  And honestly, you’re right - there’s too much AI slop out there.

 

Here are a few ideas you can use to reduce the amount of AI generated content you see on Torn:

 

cool Downvote AI generated content when you see it

 

beard Stop looking at the content

 

evil Make sure you don’t use AI, yourself 

 

smiley Quit immediately and give me your stuff

 

These are my top four ideas for getting away from AI content.  Not because it’s bad - but because it’s lazy!

 

Is there anything else you’d like to chat about?

No, don’t do that.   Don’t come in here on day 1 when you don’t know the social rules and expectations and label a community toxic when you don’t understand it.

You’ve changed your name to copy the name of a player who receives valuables for Torn Flight Club.  

Seems like pretty scammy behavior to me,  I wouldn’t trust this service of yours.

Oh wow so if my friend and I wanted to trade money for a very valuable item you would be willing to hold on to both of them for us.  This sounds like a great idea, I’m surprised no one else has thought of this.

 

I would like to use your service to buy a PI for 1.66 billion.  Your fee would be 166 mil it sounds like - quite reasonable.  

I want to do the deal but the only catch is my money is in an investment service and there’s a 20 mil early withdraw penalty.  If you send me 20 mil so I can get my 2 bil out, I’ll pay you back and then we can do the island trade.

 

Send me the 20m when you’re ready.

Complain about the rules! · · 5 likes

This post is discussing the topic of the thread and is not addressed to OP.  The intent is to provide important context to readers as they evaluate whether to contribute to this project.

 

For those who want context, the reason OP is creating this thread is that they changed their name to copy the name of a player who receives large transfers of items for Torn Flight Club.  Users who intended to send items to the actual user (for which they would receive payment per a long established service) could instead accidentally send them to OP.

 

The name was confusing and easily mistyped, compounding the issue.  The name is very unusual, making the likelihood of this being an accident rather remote.

 

This is mostly covered in a thread that OP made to ‘babysit’ people’s companies or factions.  Here’s the link:

 

https://www.torn.com/forums.php#/p=threads&f=10&t=16605943&b=0&a=0&start=0&to=27947961

 

Here’s a screenshot of the thread featuring this user displaying the imitated name:

 

 

 

Ultimately, in response to reports, admin changed OPs name.

 

OPs historical behaviors may shed light on their reasons for wanting to assemble a collection of rules, interpretations, and technicalities.

So for those who are moaning about the next crimes 2.0, I imagine this is the kind of stuff that can throw a development schedule off.

 

Sendbird pops up with extortionate pricing and suddenly it’s all hands on deck to get chat running and keep costs low.

 

Which makes perfect sense.

 

Even if that’s not exactly what took place here it’s a good reminder there is behind the scenes stuff we don’t know about.

So you asked staff before hand.  

Meaning you knew you were up to no good (because of course you did).

 

Stop insulting everyone’s intelligence.  This was done deliberately with the intention of confusing flight club contributors into sending you stuff.  If that doesn’t fit the definition of impersonation I do not know what would.

 

Don’t bother posting the screen where you sent back a few Xanax; you’re waiting on a big haul.

 

 

Faction/Company Babysitting - $10m/day ·

The fact that you’re waiting for a big enough haul before you get put in the hospital for a while means nothing.

 

There are millions of names you could have chosen, and you chose that one.

 

While launching a ‘service’ where you ‘hold onto someone’s faction or company for them’.

 

I can’t stress this enough:  You are painfully obvious.

 

All that screenshot demonstrates is that you’re a pain in the ass for flight club and its members, and you know it.

What do you mean it wasn’t the intent of the post?

 

The intent wasn’t for you to start with nothing and end up with a PI?

 

At least have the courage to stand behind your own words.

And who are you to think you’re entitled to an answer as to whether he’s entitled to an answer?

 

Wait a minute…

 

Ghost in the Shell ·

This weekend, some AMC theaters (at least in the US) are showing 'Ghost in the Shell'.  If you have time to catch it, do so.

 

It is outstanding on the big screen.  This movie is all about art and sound design, and in a theater is really the best place to showcase the amazing visuals and soundtrack.

 

Possibly controversial opinion:   While both are good, 'Ghost in the Shell' is easily a more compelling treatment of many of the themes found in 'Robocop'.

 

 

High school to college ·

However much you think you need to study for the exam, double it and use that as a starting point.

 

Understand that your feeling of knowledge will increase to an artificially high level once you feel like you've seen all of the words that will likely be on the test.   But being able to recognize all the words that will likely be on the test is not the same as being able to understand the concepts; you need about 100% more study time (or more) to get to a proper level of comprehension.

 

Do not let AI do your thinking for you.  It's shit at thinking unless you already know the material well enough to evaluate its output at a faculty level; if you were that level of expert, you could engineer prompts to get it to think well, and then evaluate the output to check it.  But since you don't know the material that well, it's going to be garbage in, garbage out.

 

So do your thinking for yourself.  Write your own assignments, write your own papers.   You can use the AI to help you find sources, and you can have it grade what you do produce, make suggestions, and go through revision cycles until it gives you an 'A'.   (But always apply your judgement to the revisions, and never let AI to write the revisions for you.)

 

Everything in moderation.  Pay attention to whether you're drinking too much, and do something about it.  Pay attention to whether you're not studying enough, and do something about it.  

 

Shower once daily at a minimum, more if you get dirty or sweaty.

 

That stripper doesn't love you.  That's how she makes her money.

It happens.   The most obvious example I can think of is 10* Lingerie Stores, which offer the BCT benefit.  They're very competitive, advertising wise, to stay in the 10* range, and the employees can (or at least, used to be able to) make pretty good money flying.
