    ChatGPT is increasingly being overestimated and used for things it obviously shouldn't be. For me, there's a lot of Schadenfreude in this, but I'm also concerned about the widespread misunderstanding of how LLMs work... To be honest, the prospect of anything like this happening in a high-profile case makes me nervous.

    Hopefully, this situation is a good deterrent.

    Love me some ESLore. I think one of the things that makes it really interesting is that each culture or race has their own interpretations of how the world of Nirn came to exist as it does (much like irl), leading to gods having different names and personas as a result (like Kynareth also being Kyne for the Nords, or Sheogorath being the Skooma Cat for Khajiit).

    Very interesting.

    Thanks so much everyone, sorry for not adding extra context. @bret @gryel @arp242 I was hoping for a machine that could serve multiple functions. I wanted to use it to play games at decent settings, create high-resolution art in Photoshop/Illustrator/etc, and develop applications in Android Studio (and VM), Unity, Eclipse, and other similar programs. For the time being, I'd guess my budget tops out around $2k. The plan was to start with something basic that I could gradually improve over time.

    Swapping out the 4x8GB for 2x16GB is a good idea for future upgrades then. Not completely sure just yet about changing the CPU. I was hoping to have something that would hold up over time, but maybe it is overkill?

    @TheJorro My case is a MUSETEX 903-S4 ATX. It's a case I already have on hand, so it wasn't included with the rest of the list. In hindsight, I should have added it anyway for posterity.

    @sparksbet Yeah, I was surprised too! Thank god they can't be used to mine Ethereum anymore...

    @mild_takes @vord @m-p-3 @NaraVara @niege The idea was to use the HDD as general bulk storage for files I wouldn't access very often (video, photos, docs), and then use the SSD for actual applications. I could see this being more worth it if the HDD were bigger, but maybe I should just go with a much larger SDD instead? This is something I've been thinking about pretty often.
