Yeah I think we did ETF or something. I've been out of work for 5 months. Now let me tell you about trying to close an empty bank account so they will stop paying people and charging you fees...

From a cynical perspective, you've described how all politics works in every system. Make peace with it.

We're all influencers. Some of us just have an audience size of zero. Not that I like influencers or the whole industry, but I don't know what the difference is between any attractive/charismatic/creative online person and an influencer.

I think that comes from flagging as spam/abuse, not OP.

A big rock that has the vague shape of a human face.

I know someone who had such a rock in their house. They kept a cigarette in its "mouth."

Ultimate power sounds kinda nefarious. Seems to me like she's doing a hell of a job, currently. I don't have any particular love or hate of her, but her job has got to be like herding cats, and she clearly does it will.

"Now explain the getaway plan, Carl."

"I'm thinking... We have 4 feet and can travel at the speed of a galloping horse."

"Oats, Carl. Where are we going to find oats?"

"I've stashed a bunch away in the corner of the barn."

"munch munch hard swallow The uh... corner you say?"

"God dammit, Applebottom! Farmer Bill lives, for now..."

A new Internet provider came to town and we jumped from Comcast. Waited up to two hours multiple times trying to get through to someone to cancel the account, and couldn't. So we just let them turn our service off. We don't have any of their hardware so there are no continuing charges. It'll be easier and less costly, considering the value of our time, to pay the collection agency.

That is fucked up. That's some bullshit I'd love to see fixed.

Settings -> Appearance -> Other -> Display Votes

Check it and select separate.

I don't think I'd want to live anywhere it is necessary to worry about sounds reduction levels. Wow.

Am I the only one who rewrites most of ChatGPT's output into my own words because it's "voice" is garbage anyway? I ask it to write me a cover letter and that gives me a rough outline and some points to make, but I have to do massive editing to avoid redundancy, awkward phrasing, outright lies, etc.

I can't imagine turning in raw ChatGPT output. I had one of my developers use Bing AI to write code and submitted that shit raw and it was immediately obvious because some relatively simple code has really weird artifacts like overwriting a value that had no reason to even be touched.

There's also the CCTV footage. Although doubtful it has audio.

This is only AI in a broad sense, and has nothing to do with LLMs or the bubble. This type of use isn't going anywhere. This is just algorithms.

You know, I wasn't doing my own research.

Because we all know how doing your own research goes. I mean by all means, but a couple Google searches of fear-mongering terms isn't it.

Where are they even evacuating to? Just the next target for bombing.

I'm all for it. I'm positive about AI in general. Just relating my experience trying to explain it to my wife.

Wow. That is a harsh take. But true.

Is kind of hard to explain to anyone, "this thing cannot be trusted, but it's useful anyway."

My wife: So it's like a gaslighting machine?

Me: ... well... no, but it... fuck.

A basket of fries allows for maximum malt vinegar distribution without spilling into other foods. That's not how I eat fries often, but with the right fries and environment it's the best.

Losing an expensive - in terms of lives and money - and pointless war is devastating domestically. Will anything really change? I don't know, but there's going to be a reaction.
