Is it not a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt for so small a thing? So small a thing! And I have seen it only for an instant in the house of Elrond! Could I not have a sight of it again?"

I will take the ring to Mt. Womb…though I do not know the way.

I award you no votes, and may God have mercy on your soul.

That means someone at meta thinks the evidence that will come in trial will cost them more than $1.4b

And they’ll still be the most experienced combat troops Putin can field. At least they get lots of practice marching up and down the square.

Yeah, this definitely feels like a doctrine and training problem. I can’t even imagine a scenario where the US or NATO lost half of any platform like that. Pearl Harbor, maybe? I remember how huge a deal it was when we found out our body armor and APCs sucked in 2001, and that was nothing like losing every missile ship.

That’s my biggest problem with the whole “burn it all down” mindset so many people espouse on this platform. If we burn down society, we aren’t gonna magically have a utopia. We’re still, at best, the same as folks during the so-called dark ages. Likely, we still basically tribal hunter-gatherers, and the only reason we have any semblance of modern life is because we put so much work into maintaining and improving it generation by generation.

Less good than helping the shooter before they went over the Rubicon…I think that’s the point.

LLMs are not general AI. They are not intelligent. They aren’t sentient. They don’t even really understand what they’re spitting out. They can’t even reliably do the 1 thing computers are typically very good at (computational math) because they are just putting sequences of nonsense (to them) characters together in the most likely order based on their training model.

When LLMs feel sentient or intelligent, that’s your brain playing a trick on you. We’re hard-wired to look for patterns and group things together based on those patterns. LLMs are human-speech prediction engines, so it’s tempting and natural to group them with the thing they’re emulating.

Yeah, as long as we have Musks, Zuckerbergs, and Shkrelis in the world, we’ll always need a public entity strong enough to act as a counterbalance. I can’t imagine an entity other than “government” to do that.

The last thing I want is a visit from the privately-owned police department to interrogate me about using an ad blocker.

I can’t decide if I like “top-surgery Trump” with the bikini top or “2-headed ogre Trump” with the dunlap.

This reboot is already worse than the 2016 original.

I’m almost certain they’ve all decided Jesus was a loser and decided to root for Barabbas instead.

Mmm garlic milk ಠ_ಠ

Can’t leave until we fix this one. Quantum Leap rules.

Sometimes, it’s the crime ,and* the cover-up

How about managing the fucking economy better

I thought you wanted to avoid managing the process?

That’s the least wrong thing in the post too…oof

Same here. It’s good for writing your basic unit tests, and the explain feature is useful getting for getting your head wrapped around complex syntax, especially as bad as searching for useful documentation has gotten on Google and ddg.

You’re still speaking to me like you’re a petulant child.

Decommissioning a nuclear plant is a 15 - 30 year process. If you don’t safely shutdown the reactor and manage the spend fuel, you end up with a radioactive hellscape. I’m sorry, but thems the facts.

Humans are animals, and we act like animals. Just like any other species. There are very few nations that have zero population growth…the vast majority are either expanding or contracting. I like kurzgesagt, too, but by your own definition (and theirs), they are extremely simplified explanations of complex topics.

The only evidence I have that economic collapse leads to war is all of human history, but here’s some research in that as well. https://www.insidescience.org/news/how-famines-and-epidemics-trigger-wars.

The original post was soliciting opinions about what we should do. Yours was “nothing”, mine was “make it as painless as possible.” Those are both opinions, and opinions are what was asked for. I based mine on scientific literature, and you based yours on some YouTube videos.

I hope you’re as young as you’re acting and you’ve still got time to grow up…otherwise you’re gonna end up lonely or burying yourself in echo chambers because you can’t handle discussions that don’t validate your gut reaction.
