Damn, I can’t tell if this is honest or some really deep cutting sarcasm/satire.

Trump pardoned one of his friends. He’s not going to endorse him, but he will show him respect for that.

Putting humans in an extremely low atmosphere environment… underground. I let you think of the really bad accidents that could occur from that. I’ll start you off with, what if there’s a fire? What if there’s a leak? Or an earthquake?

It’s got all the terror of space, but you’ve also got thousands of pounds of earth overhead. Makes Oceangate’s Titan sub seem downright safe by comparison.

Yes, but that’s not how you talk to fans of any media universe.

Funniest Title

Joking about antisemitism needs to include tone indicator tags. That’s how the nazis came back on 4chan. Let your comment give no quarter to those who hate.

Sorry, that’s Paul. Paul was trying to fit the young Christian church into acceptable Roman society. All the crazy shit in the new testament (controlling abusive crazy shit, not psychedelic type crazy shit, that was John the Elder) is from Paul. Paul is a piece of shit.

No one’s calling them scalies, Herald. No one. They’re just furries.

My only problem with that is that they lobotomized Google to make the AI seem valuable. Not that they weren’t going to destroy Google’s utility eventually, but, once generative AI entered the scene, it deteriorated with a quickness.

All of the unethical dilemmas I see here arise because having money isn’t a choice, you have to have it, and people can then decide to sacrifice their autonomy for money.

So, yeah, bodily autonomy is an unquestionable right, but so is the right to exist. And when both of those rights aren’t adequately protected, they eat each other.

Yeah, how dare the artist get money for his song? I want my memes! /s

Well, you see the rules as written are too hard for your average police officer, since we don’t want none of them smarties as cops, so we give them enough leniency for them to actually catch people, rather than restricting it to them only catching people the “right” way. That way they don’t get too down about their own incompetence. Helps with turnaround. /s

They have three electoral college votes, so they don’t get lumped in with anyone. That’s the only federal representation they have.

Corporate is pushing AI. It’s laughably bad. They showed off this automated test writing platform from Meta. That utility, out of 100 runs, had a success rate of 25%. And they were touting how great it was. Entirely embarrassing.

*Sigh-kuh

Gorsh!

whichever state DC residents’ votes count for

God, imagine if everyone in the US got to vote for things. Wouldn’t that be nice? Yeah, but DC doesn’t have reps. They have one “delegate” for the house (no voting rights) and nothing for the senate. They can vote for their mayor, city council, and US president. End list.

Boo! Vocabulary isn’t intelligence, nor is it a proxy for one.

Generative AI, as it is being built right now, is a dead-end. It won’t get much better than it currently is (markedly worse once the next-gen is forced to scrape data that includes AI generated data) and hallucinations are always going to be the reality for them.

It’s why there’s this big push over the last couple of years to get these products to market. Not because you’re going to corner some burgeoning industry (though the hype definitely is designed to look like that), but because this is a grift now and you have to get the goods while there’s still goods to get. Need to recoup those R&D dollars somehow.

Graphic novel. I read it on my kindle. The art in the first two is rough. It was apparently in vogue to add, just, so many lines for “additional details” that every object appears to be drawn by the shakiest hand they could find.
