  • LMAO XD I thought that was a typo, nah cows are herd based, I don't think they even truly have territories the same way

    But yeah, crows are dope

  • I don't know of any documentaries, there's probably some stuff on YouTube. It is really interesting learning about crow social structures through, we're looking at it from the outside, but it sure sounds like some form of basic government to me

  • Just No

  • Well...I mean ... That's fair.

    If you woke me up a year ago to ask my opinion on the last three months, you'd have to spend an hour filling me in on details and then give me a few minutes to myself before I finally asked you to repeat what you wanted to ask me

    You can definitely do it with prompt breaking - it could be as simple as phrasing the conversation at a hypothetical or as nuanced as convincing the llm you're an AI expert testing the capabilities of the AI to reason using new information

    But in all fairness, this timeline is beyond absurdity, the AIs reaction seems reasonable

  • Is "quiet quitting" now malicious compliance? Because it sure sounds like this dude did his job properly... One of the most important bits being he didn't antagonize the judge for no reason

    This guy is representing a government department, and has been told nothing. What is he supposed to do, endlessly delay and make up shit to fall on the sword for a client that won't take this seriously?

  • Yes, it should. Artists should be able to live without justifying their existence to the economy, everyone should... And then they could make money on their creations, and if someone came along who could use their characters better, then oh well... They still get to eat. But the original creator is usually be better at making their OC... And companies are the ones who usually hold the copyright even if a single employee made it

    So fuck it, I'd rather make sure everyone can eat and have a home first, but if we did it in the opposite order the damage would be minimal to individual artists

  • Cheap doesn't mean fake, just like expensive doesn't mean quality... Not anymore

  • Language is an interesting one... It seems like everywhere we look for language, we find it

    And not just signaling systems or rudimentary understanding - everyone has a name, there's animals in the wild that are bilingual across species, and this is symbolic abstract language. There's animals out there with governmental systems - like crows, they have fucking trials and negotiate territory

  • My top pick right now is fedora silverblue, I'm running it on my test bed/server and I've been impressed

    I'm running bazzite on my main one, which is related but geared towards steam and maximizing game support, it's pretty good and closer to "just works" for any kind of gaming device, it's less polished but it's still pretty good

  • Not just impressive... Like, unique and so OP a group of humans could take out a lion. Large cats are the most OP things on the planet, and at best they can pick off isolated humans...a group of humans with just random rocks can kill anything on land. And we also make things to throw

    And this is like our secondary skill - we're persistence hunters and skilled omnivores first

  • Just No

  • It will if you define it properly - you have to scope the interaction properly though - the models are fine tuned to be the expert in the interaction and assist the user, they won't take the users word as truth unless you break the dynamic or present part of the input as if it came from someone else

  • History doesn't repeat, it rhymes. Global production has never been this specialized and interdependent

    What does a company town look like with electronic access control and monitoring systems? What does a victory garden look like when the soil is polluted? What do you dress children in when plastic is the only common packaging?

    This is unprecedented... No one knows how it'll shake out. But historically, things got very bad

  • Steam runs natively and uses proton for game compatibility, similar idea to wine but it's geared for games

    It's pretty good. Most games will run, sometimes with a little jiggling to get it to work, although performance isn't quite as good (some games are particularly rough)

    I'm technically dual booting, but I haven't launched Windows in almost a year, and there's only been a handful of games I passed on primarily because of support

  • Yeah... Just wait for Monday, when everyone will have had time to look through what this really means for them and for the markets

  • Yup. I phoned my friend just to say I called it too

    Musk spent 10s of millions on a state supreme Court election, like 10x the campaign spending of the other side, and lost

    If musk and Trump can't influence elections, their threats of primarying anyone who steps out of line is empty. Their support won't save their seats either

    People are so angry they can't even appear in public without being screamed at... And what happens the next day? Trump destroyed the global economy single handedly and went golfing

    There's some true believers... But mostly, Republicans are going to do what keeps them in power. And the Trump-Elon power couple isn't it... Even the media has started to back away from propogandizing their actions

  • Press your middle finger against your thumb. Pull the middle finger down, but barely stop it with your thumb. Play with that hand movement

  • It's a two way street even if it's designed to not feel that way. They were right to reject you, because they already fucked up on your end... Maybe piles of money could've brought you back, but it clearly wouldn't have been a healthy match

  • Yeah, read the new testament sometime without commentary. It's short, Jesus is based as hell, and it gives useful tips like how to resist an occupying force that is looking for people to make examples of

    Like if you actually followed Jesus's teachings, in America today you might gather your community together, build a mutual aid network with the intention to become self sufficient, and when ICE comes around everyone swarms them offering to help guide them around and shoving their IDs in their faces without being asked (with suspicious knowledge of the law and careful documentation of them breaking it to report them later) (and obviously with the people at risk nowhere to be found)

    Jesus was killed as a revolutionary for a reason, they later massacred the early church communities entirely because it actually became a threat to Rome

  • People aren't monsters or lazy - people generally just chug along. Obviously, stress, living conditions, and morale affect performance, but that's not the real problem

    People do what they can when they're given. And nearly across the board, what are they given? Fewer workers to produce ever more, faster, with cheaper tools and supplies. And they ramp up the pressure, encourage turnover, refuse to listen to the actual workers on the ground, and just generally don't give workers what they need to properly and reliably do the job

  • Hence the feathering. Nothing like having everyone come together to publically and physically humiliate you to make you rexamine your ass backwards opinions... Or at least learn to keep them hidden deep down

  • They can slap a Ford sticker on their cyber truck and people will probably leave them alone.

    This is contributing to making a billionaire bringing on fascism go bankrupt... Yeah, I don't love personal property damage, but they're disappearing people.

    If you've got a Tesla, spend 20 minutes and $20 bucks and buy a sticker to disavow the company... Otherwise I really can't bring myself to care
