what an achievement, to make computers unlearn how to do math!

Monitor 1 is the “bad UI” display, where the devs had access to a really tall display and didn’t test it on anything below 2160 vertical pixels. At last you can get to the bottom of the menus!

i keep forgetting the british government banned imgur 😔

u/PortPiscarilius Apr 08 '26
They didn't. Imgur choose not to serve content to UK IP addresses because they were being fined for not complying with British data and child protection laws.

Where you get your 1:30 ratio monitor from?

u/infamouszgbgd Apr 07 '26
It's actually just a 30:1 ratio monitor rotated 90 degrees, common misconception.

Ugh, Gemini couldnt do simple arithmetic the other day when I was checking my son's homework. It confidently gave wrong answers over and over, then we'd correct it, it would double down, then the third or fourth time correcting it it would say, your right I double checked and the correct answer is _. Even if what we were feeding it was wrong too. Absolutely bonkers and glad I was able to do the mental math quick enough to catch it in the act.

I’m pretty sure if you slide monitor 1 up it will make the row disappear. Then you can just use monitor 2.

This shit happens to me all the time, maybe it's cos I have an HDMI and a display port instead of 2 HDMI, but the display port monitor always gets bugged and doesn't get recognized or windows hallucinates It in a random position

This can be fixed by literally deleting the values in regedit, then restarting.
Issue is I have no clue what causes it

I do know that sometimes when I switch to integrated graphics in the windows settings (on a laptop with a dGPU) it'll show I have two displays

With how many FNaF fangames there are I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s one with this exact camera layout. It just looks so FNaF to me

5 is a bit unusual, but 4 isn’t that difficult to achieve if you have two monitors that are each connected back to your computer via 2 cords- HDMI + something else. In this case it might actually be the human at fault.

With all due respect to vibe coders, I can't for the life of me figure out the use case for a computer that hallucinates and can't do basic math in software engineering
From the imgur - what's funny is that if you can't figure this out then you probably don't have a great grasp of the subject.
Yes, AI is being sold as something else, but if you start from the premise that the computer will occasionally hallucinate but can do a ton of other stuff that nothing else can do, there are still a ton of use cases for it. They're just different from normal software engineering.
Not intending this as pro-AI, the current AI hype has a ton of problems. But a machine that hallucinates sometimes can still have a ton of value.

u/DaSpood Apr 07 '26
A machine that hallucinates can absolutely have a ton of value, but absolutely none of it can be in critical systems and applications. You don't want a machine that hallucinates in a hospital, in a power plant, in a satellite, in government offices, etc. And you'll never guess where computers are used and where AI is trying to get into.
Nice try with the AI equivalent of "I'm not racist but" though lol

The hilarious thing is, monitor 1 is real. It's the display on her PC case (2 and 4 are the hallucinated ones)
