Greens are in bed with Putin, same as the GOP. They never attempt any campaign that can have a positive impact. They're not leftists or worth support from anyone who is remotely left of center.

To be fair, some of them are members of the Church of Accelerationism and believe that making life worse for people and offering up vulnerable populations as sacrifice will magically lead to the world getting transformed into a better place, despite no historical data backing such an idea. So, they want Nazis to win, despite claiming to be leftists who care about fellow human beings.

I do use AI for simple questions, and it works fairly well for that, but this claim by MS is just marketing bullshit.

This is my experience. It can be useful for simple things that used to be found with a web search before AI slop broke things. For example, I was having trouble getting a simple CGO program for a POC to communicate with the main Go process. This should have been solvable easily with documentation but the CGO docs are pretty bad and sample code was near impossible to find due to AI slop in the search results. GPT was able to provide the needed sample code to unblock me.

That's who people (non-)voted for. Anti-electoralists/accelerationists must be having trouble containing their joy at the human suffering that's building.

It would be like castrating the entire penis and testicles.

That is very much not accurate. Genital mutilation (of both genders) generally focuses on removing the ability to obtain pleasure from sex while maintaining reproductive capability.

Circumcision is roughly analogous to clitoral hood amputation (one type of FGM). The foreskin also contains a substantial number of sensory nerves (Meissnar's corpuscles, and ~10k-20k nerve endings specialized for pleasure). Additionally, the glans (head) is subjected to the external environment in a manner which it was not adapted for, resulting in formation of thickened, layer of skin to protect it. These two things, taken together, result in greatly reduced sensory and pleasure capabilities in the penis. The reason for its commonality in the US is the historical puritanical belief that sexuality is wrong and desire to repress sexuality in little boys.

FGM is wrong. So is male genital mutilation. Inflicting either on those who can not consent is a crime against humanity that should not be accepted as commonplace.

Thank you. It's exhausting and cathartic at the same time to call the little shits who go through mental gymnastics to support their anti-electoralism/accelerationism as the literal cause of the current state of the world. Yes, bad actors have been doing bad things but they're basically just holding the door open for the guy walking up to the house with a can of kerosene and lit blowtorch.

Those two commentors genuinely brought relief to the unexpected anxiety that abandoned-quiche caused.

As a white dude, I really wish. I don't see much evidence of it though.

An AI company not respecting copyright and licensing? I'm shocked.

This is more heavy-handed than high-security military bases. Usually, there's a dedicated spot to do a U-turn BEFORE the gate and, unless the marine is in a shitty mood, they're often willing to point you in the correct direction.

ETA: Probably, they're trying to pump up deportation numbers because Trump was angry that they were so low.

I think that pine trees find them useful for dispersing seeds :P

Everyone dies. You just get to try to make the leaderboards, if that's your thing. There isn't a killscreen that we know of.

Big bonus for Telo is that they support Right to Repair and are trying to use off-the-shelf parts where possible to enable end-user repairs. Oh and it isn't a unibody so, panels can be replaced if damaged.

Oh, the US has state subsidies too. They just get pocketed by execs.

Glad that you're fully informed on everyone's life situation and acceptable risk profile, putting you in a great place to cast judgement on others. /s

Allegedly.

Yeah. It really is a good thing that nothing has happened in modern US history to make people think that the government would use military ordinance against civilians. /s

Depends on context. If the context is "planning a holiday in El Salvador", maybe MS-13 is relevant. Beyond being worried about impact on others' lives, MS-13 is largely irrelevant to Americans and most people that I've encountered never heard of them before 2016.

Do you find your foot or hand size to grant you advantages in certain niche situations (ie getting the last pringle)?

I historically found that my flat feet make barefoot walking a lot easier - big, flat contact surface distributes the pressure over a wider area, making shrp rocks less painful/likely to cut.

why are you arguing that at me?

Rationally and in vacuum, anthropomorphizing tools and animals is kinda silly and sometimes dangerous. But human brains don't work do well at context separation and rationality. They are very noisy and prone to conceptual cross-talk.

The reason that this is important is that, as useless as LLMs are at nearly everything they are billed as, they are really good at fooling our brains into thinking that they possess consciousness (there's plenty even on Lemmy that ascribe levels of intelligence to them that are impossible with the technology). Just like knowledge and awareness don't grant immunity to propaganda, our unconscious processes will do their own thing. Humans are social animals and our brains are adapted to act as such, resulting in behaviors that run the gamut from wonderfully bizzare (keeping pets that don't "work") to dangerous (attempting to pet bears or keep chimps as "family").

Things that are perceived by our brains, consciously or unconsciously, are stored with associations to other similar things. So the danger here that I was trying to highlight is that being abusive to a tool, like an LLM, that can trick our brains into associating it with conscious beings, is that that acceptability of abusive behavior towards other people can be indirectly reinforced.

Basically, like I said before, one can unintentionally train themselves into practicing antisocial behaviors.

You do have a good point though that people believing that ChatGPT is a being that they can confide in, etc is very harmful and, itself, likely to lead to antisocial behaviors.

that is fucking stupid behavior

It is human behavior. Humans are irrational as fuck, even the most rational of us. It's best to plan accordingly.
