They will also hear it that way no matter how clearly it is pronounced.

Ah, the speed limit signs themselves also. This section is limited to 50 km/h, and this one is 60 km/h. Ok so far? The next one is simply marked “not 60” good luck.

Ask them to pronounce the name of this ferry route.

None. The water is not running.

Because people see your actions, not your worldview. E.g. a future employer who happens to know a former colleague.

-“Hey, you worked with Vestmoria, right? What are they like?” -“A bit stuck up and complainy, but we got along ok.”

Alternatively:

-“Hey, you worked with Vestmoria, right? What are they like?” -“Complained a lot, caused a huge scene and left.”

It’s not. Anywhere. But the how and why it is illegal is not yet settled. It’s new enough that an “entrepreneur” can throw up a bullshit smokescreen, make a pile of money, and scuttle them away before the world figures out how to apply the law correctly.

I see your point and agree with it, but I believe you read more defense in my comment than I tried to put in.

I’m not in favor of this waste.

Training the models is very resource intensive, but after that it’s basically fine. I can run Midjourney image generation on my modest gaming laptop. Takes maybe 30 seconds for a high-resolution image at a laptop’s “gaming mode” power consumption.

AI image generation is comparable in electric use to e.g. playing Valheim or Elden Ring.

It’s when it’s scaled up industrially that it becomes a huge waste of electricity. Me playing Valhelm for 5 minutes is nothing. My startup creating 20000 bots playing Valheim 24/7 is a problem for society.

Supporting the least bad option makes the bad option less visble. It is a real and constructive action one can take to make things better and reduce human suffering.

Not supporting the least bad option because it is still bad, makes one feel better and morally cleaner. It does not make things better. It leaves no dent in evil or human suffering.

Actively dissuading other people from choosing the least bad option makes one feel better than others. It is a real and destructive action that increases human suffering.

People who choose moral masturbation over real and beneficial action are not actually driven by empathy for the suffering children of the world. Do not accept for a second that they genuinely want anything else than to feel good.

Is this an opinion with a question mark glued onto it?

Oh, that makes it easier!

As a gentleman, I’d offer to hold the steering wheel so she has an easier time aiming her lance at oncoming traffic.

The term “scope creep” comes up a lot, but to be honest that’s not happening here.

They have no scope in the first place. No coherent vision.

The say surface-level vision-like things and present scope-like plans, but only as disposable tools to get investment. No single person in that company tries to tie it together to a real scope or real vision, or align development with it.

Smart and capable people work on any random game-like stuff that they find interesting, in the hope that it will all somehow become a complete experience all by itself.

That’s an unnecessary loaded headline.

He is offering to hire a professional team to dig it out at no cost, plus reimburse the city with £41 million for the trouble, and the post title makes him sound like an entitled baby demanding the city fixes his problems.

Noclick summary for the less brave among us?

Oh this is exactly what I expect from the sun. Plus one vote from me on banning them.

Publications that can’t describe things even close to neutrally and factually should be forbidden by law to cover real conflicts.

A plea for anyone having this happen, be gentle.

It is easy to think a tantrum is because the child wants something and either gets pissed that they don’t, or are trying to make a scene to get it.

Sometimes (often?) it is more of a stress and panic reaction. And it can be hard to tell. Even if the tipping point was not getting biscuits.

Whether your reaction is to give in and buy them something, remain very firm that they do not get biscuits today and this is not acceptable behavior, or decide to pick them up and carry them to the car, be a safe and calm presence for them.
