  • Have you trained today?

    Jump

  • It has been shown repeatedly that owning a gun makes you less safe. It increases the likelihood that you will be the victim of a crime, homicide, or suicide (accidental or otherwise).

    We need fewer guns not more.

  • ‘Russians do everything via Telegram.’ Pavel Durov’s arrest upends Kremlin military comms.

    Jump

  • You mixed and matched a lot of different sources in your summary, and did a fair amount of editorializing, it was honestly pretty confusing. Ed Snowden, for example, isn’t mentioned in any of your links, but you tossed him in with RFK and Musk, which misrepresents his ideology pretty seriously.

    I’d suggest keeping it simple, post one link and one summary of it if you feel the need. Maybe I’m overthinking it, but this post doesn’t feel right.

  • "The Newspaper of Record"

  • PlayStation 5 Pro could be revealed as soon as next month, possibly for $600

    Jump

  • I got a ton of play out of my PS4 at the height of the pandemic, and have been considering a PS5 for a while now, but I just didn’t think it was worth it. I’m probably in the minority, but I think I would probably buy this, if the spec bump was significant enough. I also really hope they release it in black. It’s silly, but the white 90’s router is so so ugly, and frankly one of the reasons I’ve stayed away. If they charge more than $600 though, it’ll be a hard no. Don’t fuck this up Sony.

  • "The Newspaper of Record"

    Jump

  • Yeah I had a similar feeling about ground news. I had assumed the bot was at least created by someone who works there, using whatever algorithm that site uses to rate sources. The fact that’s it’s mentioned in every post really rubs me the wrong way, on top of how shitty the bot is at doing what it’s supposed to. And yet, it’s still around. What do we have to do to finally get rid of it?

  • JD Vance leaves the door open to family separations in a new Trump administration

    Jump

  • Project 2025 is pretty clear that family separations are a feature of mass deportations. They affirmatively want this, the door is wide open. If they say otherwise, they’re lying.

    The leading Project 2025 architect Kevin Roberts, President of the Heritage Foundation, stated that mass deportation was a top priority. Mass deportation is mass family separation. Project 2025 seeks to rip apart American families, not limited to new arrivals; the plan seeks to target the 80% of the undocumented population who have called the US home for more than a decade, including the Dreamers, TPS holders, and immediate family members of U.S. citizens.

  • Police officers are starting to use AI chatbots to write crime reports. Will they hold up in court?

    Jump

  • Honestly, dictation is pretty much the only use of LLMs that I’m comfortable with right now. Not “let the police cut corners and rely on it” comfortable, but this is the one thing LLMs are consistently good at.

    Of course the police will abuse it, like they abuse everything and everyone, but let’s regulate this shit and make it a useful tool. Then maybe they can have the time to solve some crimes. Oh I always forget, that’s not really their job.

  • Bill! BILL! Bill! BILL!

    Jump

  • Same. I’m so glad we somehow had cable on these things, because my class watched it happen live, right after wheeling this cart in to watch a history documentary. Lots of other teachers turned it off because tons of kids in my school had parents working in those buildings, but my teacher knew it was an important thing for us to see.

    Judge rules Breonna Taylor's boyfriend caused her death, throws out major charges against ex-Louisville officers

    Jump

  • No problem! Multiple sources is never bad, but one thing I struggle with on Lemmy is the disparate spreading out of convos across posts in the same community. I wish there were better tools to minimize this without generous posters like you having to keep track of every single post before submitting something new.

  • Yeah I think I’ve seen that usage, but I’ve also seen it used as a negative put down rather than an affirmation. I just have a lot of trouble with this one for some reason. Anyone know where it comes from?

    Jump

  • We already had a good conversation about this over on this post yesterday, in case you missed it. Pretty sure it’s in the same community. Shittier source on that one (I hate Newsweek), but I think it’s better to join in on the existing discussion?

    I had a little chat with Perplexity.ai

    Jump

  • Whoa that was pretty eye-opening, thanks for sharing. I’ve been frustrated by the seemingly widespread blind trust of these systems, this really helps explain why they should not be trusted.

    It’s a pretty strong indictment that the system can express the fact that it shouldn’t be trusted, but can’t do anything about it, even in the same session, but especially across sessions. Until and unless the devs figure out a way to be transparent and fix these massive problems, I’m still staying far away from LLMs.

  • Joe Biden Appoints Hawkish Official To Lead Israel Policy At State Department

    Jump

  • I pretty much agree with you, with the small caveat that nearly every single US president has been a total monster with their foreign policy decisions. Doesn’t make it right, but historical context is super important.

    Since we don’t have the option to vote for someone who wouldn’t be a monster with their warmongering, we unfortunately have to vote for the person who would be a little less monstrous, and right now that’s Harris. And who knows, once Biden is out of the picture and Harris can make her own decisions, she might turn out to be better than we’re expecting. Probably not, but anything will be better than Trump.

  • And every time I think I understand what people mean by it, I’m wrong. This one has got to stop.

  • Kojima Productions to attend Tokyo game show 2024 and will host a panel discussion on “DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH” for PlayStation 5

    Jump

  • Walking on the ground was hard enough, now they want us to walk on the beach??

    Okay I’m in.

  • I envision a wonderful future with this happening.

    Jump

  • Wow, thank you for sharing all of this. Your experience does a way better job explaining her hatefulness than our silly article links. I wish this kind of comment got more visibility, because it really is a betrayal when an author who wrote fiction that was formative for entire generations of young adults around the world, turns out to hate her own readers, with a passion that is difficult to explain or understand.

    I very much appreciate your thoughts on all this.

  • Felony charges dismissed against ex-officers charged in Breonna Taylor raid

    Jump

  • Wow that hurt my head. I read the rest of the Wikipedia page and I think I understand, but damn, I’ll need to read the judge’s full opinion to see just how creatively he applied that principle. Tort law is not for me.

  • Felony charges dismissed against ex-officers charged in Breonna Taylor raid

    Jump

  • Judge Simpson said that "there is no direct link between the warrantless entry and Taylor's death."

    What?! How does that make any sense? If the cops didn’t illegally enter her apartment without a warrant, Breonna would still be alive today. Cause meet effect. How is that not a direct link?

  • Elizabeth Warren Trolls Trump and Vance: ‘I Wouldn’t Trust Them to Move My Couch’

  • Ahahahaha now I feel dumb. I didn’t translate OF to OnlyFans, I just assumed it was some new-fangled internet slang used by the youngsters.
