  • Nancy Pelosi continues to exercise ultimate power over Democrats

    Jump

  • What are you going to do about it? Money and power dominate every system. Monarchy. Feudalism. Communism. Democracy. Even anarchy is rolled by the person with the biggest guns.

  • India wants to make influencers register with the government.

    Jump

  • I don't hate it. I'm just not sure it's feasible. We'll see.

  • Nancy Pelosi continues to exercise ultimate power over Democrats

    Jump

  • From a cynical perspective, you've described how all politics works in every system. Make peace with it.

  • India wants to make influencers register with the government.

    Jump

  • We're all influencers. Some of us just have an audience size of zero. Not that I like influencers or the whole industry, but I don't know what the difference is between any attractive/charismatic/creative online person and an influencer.

  • I think that comes from flagging as spam/abuse, not OP.

  • I'm working on a screenplay for a remake of Castaway, but I'm considering not using a volleyball this time. Give me your best casting ideas for which inanimate object should play Wilson.

  • A big rock that has the vague shape of a human face.

    I know someone who had such a rock in their house. They kept a cigarette in its "mouth."

  • Nancy Pelosi continues to exercise ultimate power over Democrats

    Jump

  • Ultimate power sounds kinda nefarious. Seems to me like she's doing a hell of a job, currently. I don't have any particular love or hate of her, but her job has got to be like herding cats, and she clearly does it will.

  • Horses are smart enough to plan and strategise, new study shows

    Jump

  • "Now explain the getaway plan, Carl."

    "I'm thinking... We have 4 feet and can travel at the speed of a galloping horse."

    "Oats, Carl. Where are we going to find oats?"

    "I've stashed a bunch away in the corner of the barn."

    "munch munch hard swallow The uh... corner you say?"

    "God dammit, Applebottom! Farmer Bill lives, for now..."

  • Is there a way to show number of upvotes and downvotes on a post or comment?

    Jump

  • Settings -> Appearance -> Other -> Display Votes

    Check it and select separate.

  • A nightly Waymo robotaxi parking lot honkfest is waking San Francisco neighbors

    Jump

  • I don't think I'd want to live anywhere it is necessary to worry about sounds reduction levels. Wow.

  • OpenAI has built a text watermarking method to detect chatgpt written content

    Jump

  • Am I the only one who rewrites most of ChatGPT's output into my own words because it's "voice" is garbage anyway? I ask it to write me a cover letter and that gives me a rough outline and some points to make, but I have to do massive editing to avoid redundancy, awkward phrasing, outright lies, etc.

    I can't imagine turning in raw ChatGPT output. I had one of my developers use Bing AI to write code and submitted that shit raw and it was immediately obvious because some relatively simple code has really weird artifacts like overwriting a value that had no reason to even be touched.

  • There's also the CCTV footage. Although doubtful it has audio.

    We’re Entering an AI Price-Fixing Dystopia

    Jump

  • This is only AI in a broad sense, and has nothing to do with LLMs or the bubble. This type of use isn't going anywhere. This is just algorithms.

  • Israel broadens its evacuation orders after deadly strike on Gaza school-turned-shelter

    Jump

  • Where are they even evacuating to? Just the next target for bombing.

  • Which part of a PB&J is the meat, and which is the condiment?

    Jump

  • Wow. That is a harsh take. But true.

  • Do you prefer eating your fries on a plate, a basket or a bowl?

    Jump

  • A basket of fries allows for maximum malt vinegar distribution without spilling into other foods. That's not how I eat fries often, but with the right fries and environment it's the best.

  • "If you save Ukraine, you will help a free Russia:" Freed Russian prisoner Ilya Yashin urges supporters to 'save Ukraine' in Berlin

  • Losing an expensive - in terms of lives and money - and pointless war is devastating domestically. Will anything really change? I don't know, but there's going to be a reaction.

  • Ukraine was biding its time: while outside analysts downplayed their chances, the Ukrainians were quietly planning an offensive across the Russian border

    Jump

  • Maybe. But they can't just cede all the initiative to Russia, either.

  • Ukraine was biding its time: while outside analysts downplayed their chances, the Ukrainians were quietly planning an offensive across the Russian border

    Jump

  • An analysis I watched suggests that by occupying Russian territory, they force Russia to either let them dig in long term or stay on the offensive to try to push them out just when Russia would be slowing their summer offensive. Ukraine is fighting a defensive war of attrition and their strategy is to force Russia to keep attacking while Ukraine has a defensive advantage.

    Now, this shit is way above my pay grade, but that analysis explains why this could be a smart move. So it sounds like there is reason to be cautiously optimistic.
