People are so worried about the AI alignment problem, but the corporate alignment problem is a much bigger threat

🤯

Yes, that's exactly how the two android phones I've used have worked, and why this post is getting upvoted is a mystery to me.

There are also folders called "Camera" and "Screenshots", and I'll give you three guesses where photos and screenshots go.

Fewer births is good news - a solution rather than a problem. There needs to be fewer humans if we're to avoid cooking ourselves and sending other species into extinction. We should all be so lucky as China to have this 'problem'.

Yeah, I really wish the community would stop upvoting the headline "Dummy says dumb thing!"

I’m not sure how much the US really wants that

Or anyone else for that matter. Armed Europe has a somewhat violent history.

They could be right for all I know, haven't played either since SNES, lol.

They each have their charms.

IMO, Street Fighter has a lower skill floor and is easier to get into, and MK has a higher skill ceiling so its more rewarding and fun for players who master it.

in a lucky loophole for insects, mollusks, and other spineless creatures falling under the umbrella term “invertebrate,” the act itself defines a “fish” as “a wild fish, mollusk, crustacean, invertebrate, amphibian, or part, spawn, or ovum of any of those animals.”

According to the law's specific definition of "fish", spiders and earthworms are also 'fish'.

The spawn from Ronald McDonald fucking a low budget carnival merry-go-round.

i wonder if that has anything to do with GoG having been down for a couple days - did they run into problems during the data migration?

Was its IDE port rent controlled?

"a lot of people are saying" = the voices in my head are telling me

bootlickers need their fix of boot

That just shows that the economy is not "booming" as they say in the capitalist media - the needle may be moving in the right direction, but we need to acknowledge that the current position of that needle is deep in the gutter, with a lot of improvement still needed before the voting public feels like the economy is actually working for them. Claiming that the economy is doing well, when the people are not doing well economically except for a handful of ultrawealthy, causes feelings of resentment and alienation in people who are currently working hard and still unable to afford basic necessities, ie the majority of Americans. It makes the journalists and the politicians they appear to be hyping seem out of touch and unaware of the problems the voters are dealing with, and therefore it does not inspire hope that those problems are being worked on.

Showing that the needle is moving in the right direction is an important component of effective messaging, but so is demonstrating a clear eyed view of the problem. Articles that talk about how 'strong' the economy is fail on the latter.

They also have a 'feature' where they automatically brake check the car behind you if you're using cruise control on a bendy road. The computer interprets oncoming traffic as an imminent collision and slams the brakes.

won't somebody think of the parasites shareholders‽

the entire industry: "...and also fragment our offerings across a dozen different subscription services."

The monk beats both other PCs unconscious and then uses the knife to cut off as much apple as they care to eat.

jobs exist that don't pay a living wage, sending workers ever deeper into poverty and despair*

media and politicians: "LoOk At AlL tHe JoBs! BoOmInG eCoNoMy!"
