The response to “what are you trying to hide” is always “WTF do you need to see so badly?”

gets us to invest in cold fusion

I don’t doubt it.

and make it a practical, scalable energy source

Some of us remember that pipe dream the first time around.

He does like kids, so there’s some substance there.

Doing a lot of anything for most at that age is taxing, but he’s not doing the job other modern Presidents have done, by far. Any worry or anxiety he has is all about helping himself out, nothing to do with the country. I hope it’s not a very long time, but I do hope it’s a slow, painful burn on the way down. We need a bit of karma right now.

Water is wet. The sky is blue. Space is cold. None of these are as true as their phrase implies, as there’s a lot of technicality involved.

Trump is a liar. Solid truth. No deviation there.

We have most of them picking job security vs. asking the hard questions, and when a few do ask something beyond what’s expected from the officials we call them “brave”. All of them should be doing this.

Some of them from some networks are playing the game because they profit from it, which is a problem as well.

Because the news is that some Republicans acted like they wanted to help people.

When it stops working.

The law protects them, however a law that isn’t enforced or observed by officials is pretty useless. Ideally you would go along with the wrongly arresting officer to fight it in court, but when they are doing whatever they want, if you don’t fight back at the start you could end up anywhere and in any condition. The only good thing is that so far they don’t expect resistance, they count on people being scared. Resist. If you see someone in trouble, do something. It’s apathy that helps this spread.

Get rid of coveting, you’re undone much of what drives capitalism. That’s a good thing, but it also ruins our society that is dependent on it.

I was thinking Beakman’s World. Apparently it’s just such a common phrasing in high school science that it became a meme without anyone’s particular influence.

“Are we the baddi…?”

YES. YES, YOU ARE.

And Overgrowth. Some incredible programming.

I’m just on FB for the Messenger, maximized to ignore the rest, since they make it all but impossible to use their network with third parties. Hmmm, sounds like Reddit now that I think about it, but FB did that move first. The hardest part of changing social media or any communications is getting the ones you want to stay connected with to use better alternatives. Again with the Reddit comparison, but look at how many stick with that still rather than branching out to a new thing like Lemmy. Or encrypted email.

But I agree with the title suggestion, any immersion of a single thing is damaging, and social media is by its nature and design addictive. If you can’t control your intake, you should avoid what you can altogether.

Never saw these, the first one seemed pretty tame and one of those “you’re reading too much into this” for those suggesting anything more than a sibling relationship. Good lord, the second was hilarious. When it began the extended part I was like, uh, yeah that seems a bit weird. Then it went off the cliff. lol

We’ll find a remote island somewhere and name it Karma.

And if you were lucky you’d have a higher end stereo system that could fade in the sounds too. Combine that with a pause, you could avoid that jarring noise of starting and stopping recording between songs. Just had to find the stations that didn’t have the DJs who talked halfway through the song intro.

I’m a solid 20. Those of you who didn’t get very high scores, you don’t know what you missed.

The best choice is to let the user know that such a feature is available first, ask if they want it on, and tell them how to turn it on if they say no. The problem with having things off by default is that most people don’t look around the options, they go with what they’re given. This isn’t even about AI, but features in general.

Myself on both Firefox and DuckDuckGo I saw the AI selection prominently displayed and I disabled it. Be transparent, but that includes letting your users know things are there.

I’m going to take this from a different angle. These companies have over the years scraped everything they could get their hands on to build their models, and given the volume, most of that is unlikely to have been vetted well, if at all. So they’ve been poisoning the LLMs themselves in the rush to get the best thing out there before others do, and that’s why we get the shit we get in the middle of some amazing achievements. The very fact that they’ve been growing these models not with cultivation principles but with guardrails says everything about the core source’s tainted condition.
