This one hit a little close to home. Reminds me a lot of my own Grandpa.

One common argument I keep hearing is that phones and the internet tracks you already. Existing surveillance isn't an argument for expanding surveillance. And I'm against all that tracking too.

I have noticed that ChatGPT tends to use the dash in a very particular way. It uses the long version of it too, not the normal one you use on the keyboard next to the equal sign. You wouldn't normally use that unless you're opening up Character Map or memorize its alt code.

I was about to ask, I hope he got that out before he sealed it.

PS3 just sits there awkwardly doing nothing. Because she has no game.

Okie here, yeah. They had a SUPER aggressive ad campaign against it with people in the ads like older women saying they can't afford groceries now and small businesses saying they can't afford it either and it'll get even worse if they increase minimum wage. From what I remember reading, they were going to increase the wage over time instead of one jump. Other states that implemented a similar policy only experienced a very modest increase in prices. Like 1% at the worst.

Even someone like RFK couldn't ban such a widely used medication overnight. Changing prescribing access for such a well established medication would involve agencies, medical boards, insurers, FDA processes, state laws, lawsuits, and physicians. Best we can hope for is that it ends up being ineffectual and not something he can manage in a single election cycle. Those guillotines are looking more and more appealing every day though...

I'm fine with heels as long as there's still enough actual 'bread' to them. Just most of the time they get cut with nothing but a thin layer of bread crust.

Absolutely true. I have a hardware monitor on my android. It used to use about 1.3 gb of ram out of 3. Now it stays at 2 out of 3. The functionality of my phone hasn't changed at all, I haven't added any new apps in the background. I even tried to kill a dozen apps. They just come back up.

There is no such thing as an ethical billionaire. You can luck your way into being a millionaire, you literally can't reach 1 bil+ without repeatedly screwing other people over. Tax them.

Huh this is the first time I've seen a source for that quote. Cool!

It's the kind of question it kind of has trouble with. Sort of like the Strawberry thing. Running counts or logic it'll just find something like "Oh distance is short, try walking!" without thinking of the specific context.

I just realized something else. This might also be illegal. An Interviewer doesn't have the right to your personal AI usage and it might be covered under data protection laws. Similar to asking someone to unlock their phone and show private messages. AI Based behavioral analysis is notoriously unreliable AND might trigger discrimination based laws. If true, this employer is just opening themselves up to all kinds of potential legal trouble.

Yeah I have that feature turned off since I don't really need it to reference past conversations for my inane questions and it's negatively affected output for me before. It's possible it's true but then the blame shifts on how dumb the interviewers are.

It can't come soon enough. My computer is reaching its limit and I NEED new hardware. I had planned to replace it sometime this year, but then this happened.

#49 Surprisingly good advice. When someone is having a panic attack asking them a baffling question can sometimes ground them. It stops the spiral and gets them thinking about the question.

#15 I mean people were calling things fake long before AI. Instead of people throwing puppies in water and saving them they just generate something similar. It's just all about engagement.

I saw a video where one tried to pull the trigger but the safety was on. They 100% don't know and don't care. I'm pretty sure it was one of those pepper guns but still you don't shove it in someone's face.

I do remember reading a study once where people who were non-offending had a less risk of committing sexual abuse when provided with material. But like someone else said the LLMs would have to have CP in order to make 'appropriate' material. It's possible, but just as likely to cause someone to want to experience it for real. (My memory's a bit spotty, I just remember reading it. I don't remember the details except it was a European study.)

#36 For context Apocalypse is talking about humans not being worthy. He's basically liking humans to peasants that just want to seek power greedily once they taste it and the next panel has Mr. Sinister suggest just killing all the humans. Quoting the guy that wants to kill all the humans and establish himself as a god probably isn't the best idea.

That'd be the idea. In this case eliminating the queen is far more valuable because the Black Queen will mate in the next turn unless you threaten a check. From there you'll have to just make slow progress with your other pawns and try to promote them without losing both. It's probably one of those games that will keep going for another 50 turns before someone wins lol.

This is just sort of a skimming view of the law but I think it goes like this: They'd review the prompt to see if the person knowingly intended to make illegal content. If accident, they'll go after the people running the GenAI since they have a duty of care to ensure that it's not possible for it to be generated on their platform. Section 230 MAY protect them to some degree but it's not a guarantee.

#33 I think the ghost would be way more confused at the concept of what the heck socialism is and wondering what she's referring to as minorities. Might have to give him a lesson first before he can be properly horrified.

Kidney failure is so painful to watch in cats. Mine died a few months back from similar. They'll always be remembered in our hearts. She looks like such a sweet cat and you were blessed to have her.

ZeroEyes being the only competitor and refusing to release even loose statistics smells. I have my doubts it works, or even if it's really meant to 'protect children'.

You know this is the only song from Eurythmics I know of. What other of their songs are great?
