That is the epitome of fucking around and find out. Probably not anyone else on a base other than MPs is armed and prepared to return fire in an emergency. But those guards are.

I've already told the Jehova's Witnesses, and now I'm telling you I don't want to hear about your lord and savior either.

I don't know anything about it but I try not to let that stop me from shitposting.

I can only unhelpfully offer that I use the app every day on my phone and occasionally on my computer and I've never experienced that. Is it the only setting that changes, or do you stick to defaults for everything else?

That sounds really impressive. But describing it as "the best thing ever" really has my skepticism at full mast.

ETA: I can't find any mention of a single drawback or tradeoff to this new technology. That makes this a marketing piece rather than journalism. Nothing is ever better in every conceivable way than the current state of the art.

This was a drive-by at the gate guards of a military base? That is completely insane. I can't conceive of dumber, less effective way to accomplish anything. Not even public suicide because they left.

New ones maybe. The current ones are out there and won't go anywhere.

Ultimately the reviewer should be paid for their efforts because honest reviews are their livelihood. Saying, "I liked this and if my review helped, buy through this link to support me for free," is a fairly innocuous way.

Is it completely unproblematic? No, but earning money for your opinion is always going to be fraught.

My interpretation is there are many reasons why his contract wasn't renewed. I think he's trying to make it political by claiming he's being cancelled. He is shitty. He doesn't deserve to be a teacher. I just think this is his way to go on the attack instead of having to defend his record.

I could be wrong, but no fucking way we're getting the whole story just listening to him.

I disagree. I think the reality inside that girl's head is a lot more threatening than the one you see from outside the situation, and that needs to be taken into account. But it's a subject I'm too close to so I'm going to stop it here. Good conversation. You make some good points. But there's no argument that will ever make me agree with you so let's leave it here.

If you're using an app to help stop, you already have an answer and no word salad is going to tell us anything more than it tells you. I don't care what kind of legal porn you watch or how often. What you shared doesn't even say how much, just terms.

So you think you have a problem and... what? You want someone to talk you out of it? Not my place, but good luck negotiating this aspect of your life and hopefully you are satisfied by whatever conclusion you come to—every pun intended.

AI is at least coherent. You can understand it and argue or agree with it. Trump talks like someone who just blew a .3 at a DUI checkpoint trying to explain that he really hasn't had that many, just without the slurring.

And somewhere in the middle of his explanation of how his aunt Patty accidentally ate a gekko tail once and cast a sobriety spell on him, and his great great grandfather was the famous Irish whisky distiller Terrance Trent Darby O'Gill and his descendants all naturally have that much alcohol in their blood genetically—the cop realizes his own night would be so much easier if he just just drove the asshole home instead of arresting him and having to listen to another 3 hours of that.

I would compare this to Lorena Bobbitt. You have a point in that this girl tracked him down, but arguably he presented an ongoing threat as long as he was free—especially if he knew she was the reason he got busted. But she also probably relived the abuse constantly in her head. Years and years of abuse redefines who you are as a person.

Self defense might be a stretch, but were I on that jury she'd never see the inside of a cell.

That's awesome. So it's potentially available to non-whites, women, gays, trans-folk, atheists et al., and the disabled. But if you are a stereotypical cis-het white guy you're out. I can see why Republicans would be pissed. I hope it makes them seethe uncontrollably.

What's going on with that Large Hadron Collider these days?

"Baffle them with bullshit" has been a saying for quite a while. But with Trump it's more like "give them a stupidity migraine." The stuff that comes out of his mouth hurts my brain to hear it.

You can't help but to try to parse some meaning out of his words. They sound like English. But he assembles them in an arcane order where the harder you try to understand him, the less anything he says makes sense. He is like a human word cloud where you just have to infer the message based on the biggest, boldest words.

So yes, it's hard to beat an opponent in a debate when you have to try to understand what he's saying in order to form a cogent counterpoint. His audience of the hearing- and vocabulary-impaired only absorb the gist without ever attempting to parse actual meaning out of it.

It is truly a thing of wonder, and if the future of our nation didn't hinge on it, it would be fascinating to explore. I hope future generations, unburdened by the threat of another Trump Presidency, might be able to study this and harness this power for good.

He's their only guy, though. No one else can pull off the shit Trump gets away with. It's his cult of personality, and when he's gone their party will be left with nothing but ash and cinders.

Probably be better off talking to a teacher once school starts. They are mandatory reporters if abuse is happening. Also there are tools at the school like counselors and potentially support groups that police probably won't have.

She knows not to trust it. If the AI had suggested "God did it" or metaphysical bullshit I'd reevaluate. But I'm not sure how to even describe that to a Google search. Sending a picture and asking about it is really fucking easy. Important answers aren't easy.

I mean I agree with you. It's bullshit and untrustworthy. We have conversations about this. We have lots of conversations about it actually, because I caught her cheating at school using it so there's a lot of supervision and talk about appropriate uses and not. And how we can inadvertently bias it by the questions we ask. It's actually a great tool for learning skepticism.

But some things, a reasonable answer just to satisfy your brain is fine whether it's right or not. I remember in chemistry I spent an entire year learning absolute bullshit about chemistry only for the next year to be told that was all garbage and here's how it really works. It's fine.

I don't buy into it, but it's so quick and easy to get an answer, if it's not something important I'm guilty of using LLM and calling it good enough.

There are no ads and no SEO. Yeah, it might very well be bullshit, but most Google results are also bullshit, depending on subject. If it doesn't matter, and it isn't easy to know if I'm getting bullshit from a website, LLM is good enough.

I took a picture of discolorations on a sidewalk and asked ChatGPT what was causing them because my daughter was curious. Metal left on the surface rusts and leaves behind those streaks. But they all had holes in the middle so we decided there were metallic rocks missed into the surface that had rusted away.

Is that for sure right? I don't know. I don't really care. My daughter was happy with an answer and I've already warned her it could be bullshit. But curiosity was satisfied.

Prediction: he will because it gives him a chance to remind everyone he was shot after everyone stopped caring. He'll do it and complain about it.

You could be right, but what's the fun in agreeing? Whatever he does, it'll be whatever plays best to his narcissism.
