What exactly is your ideal outcome? They successfully prevent Harris from being elected, Trump gets in, funds the construction of the Israeli version of Auschwitz, and the Palestinians getting thrown into gas chambers will think “at least the Americans voted on principle”?

Raises questions? No, it answers questions that we already knew the answer to. He was, and still is, completely mentally unfit, and he’s continually getting worse. What’s left as a question?

Geographical continents and geological continents aren’t quite the same thing.

So the Panopticon. The hypothetical prison that even people in the 1800s thought would be a human rights violation to build because it was such an extreme form of psychological torture.

The “best” part of that is that yes, some schools keep cat litter in classrooms, but the reason is so if there’s a school shooter, they don’t have to risk walking to the bathroom.

The reason for this is actually pretty interesting though. Historically it was just a US/UK English difference, but it evolved into both being used because one of the first big manufacturers of optical discs, Philips, called them discs, while the US-based IBM spelled their magnetic disks with a K.

Republicans do a thing, baselessly accuse Democrats of doing that thing, so idiots conclude “oh, both sides are accusing each other of doing that thing, it’s probably not happening.”

LLMs are fundamentally a dead end though. If we ever create AGI, it will be a qualitatively different thing from an LLM.

All I see is a sign explaining how to steal from the vending machine.

Conservatives think the only two possible roles for a father are distant or abusive. Love is probably “too woke” or something.

Trump’s policies resulted in thousands of veterans with PTSD being denied treatment by the VA on account of lack of funding. If anyone deserves to suffer from it, he does.

“For too long, the average American has been squeezed by the big banks and financial elites,” Trump wrote. “It’s time we take a stand — together.”

Do people actually believe for a fraction of a second that Donald Trump of all people is on the side of the average American? And that the way to “take a stand” is with a crypto pump and dump scheme?

The headline really fucking buried the lede here. Texas is secretly compiling a list of trans residents for unknown reasons, we only know this because of a whistleblower.

It’s not a modern standards thing, Genghis Khan was seen as a complete monster in his own time.

And likely intends to do so for life.

It’s actually worse than just debits before credits. It’s debits in reverse order of amount, then credits. So if you get your paycheck deposited in the morning, stop for gas, pick up a coffee, go shopping, go home and pay your utility bills and rent, they can order it so the rent goes through first, then the bills, shopping, gas and coffee all trigger separate overdrafts, then the paycheck is added last, stealing hundreds of dollars from you when you didn’t spend a cent you didn’t have.

Cost of living is outpacing it. Housing in particular.

There are plenty of studies. The “no studies” thing is a bad faith argument from deliberately misunderstanding the way medical studies work. The theoretical ideal of a double blind study has serious ethical problems when it involves giving a placebo to someone who would be seriously harmed by being denied care, so not all studies are done that way.

The danger of AI isn’t that it’s “too smart”. It’s that it’s able to be stupid faster. If you offload real decisions to a machine without any human oversight, it can make more mistakes in a second than even the most efficient human idiot can make in a week.
