It’s probably important to note they were not all from there. That’s like saying “look at all these talented actors and artists and musicians in LA”. It’s not that LA is a breeding ground for greatness, it’s just a hub for art.
I support basic income too, but not because there are great people toiling in the wrong fields, just that we all deserve basic human dignity. Not that you disagree, I’m just adding that.
I don’t necessarily support this, but I feel like this at least adds a barrier to a single person setting up hundreds of bot accounts easily. Similar to locking your doors, it just adds friction to those that would otherwise not put a lot of effort in. People can still break into your house/run a bot farm, but this makes it just that much more difficult. Again, I don’t really support doing this, and it’s definitely not being done for user’s benefit, but it will likely have some impact on botting.
I’ve said it before, and I’m happy to repeat it now, I really wish I lived in the country you’re talking about, where people cared more about other people than themselves, but we really don’t. We can probably cherry pick stats all day (lies, damn lies, statistics), but 54% of Biden->Someone not Harris voters said her Gaza policy made no difference. 10% said it’d make them less likely. That’s 64% of that uncaptured demographic that chose someone other than her for a completely unrelated reason. Other top 3 issues: 24% - The economy 12% - Medicare and Social Security 11% - Immigration and border security
Seems like those are people who want less of dem policies, not more of them. Also, the above is just voters who voted for not Kamala. There were plenty of people who stayed home because they simply didn’t like her (black/woman/maybe Israel policy) and didn’t care enough to vote for someone else.
To be clear, anyone blaming leftists is just whining. Kamala failed to do the thing she was supposed to (win) and they see that as other people’s fault and not hers. At the end of the day she either got the votes or she didn’t. If they think there’s nothing she could’ve said/done to get the leftist vote, then they don’t have to blame her. In reality, she could’ve EARNED those votes and she didn’t. Maybe it would’ve cost her other votes. I don’t know for sure, but either way it was her decision and she chose not to.

Also, pretty sure the laugh thing is a meme. They used the sarcasm indicator, so I’m pretty sure they’re being glib.
When insulting POWs didn’t even cause a dip in his numbers I knew we were done for. If anything is more American than apple pie, it’s slobbering all over the troops, and the Rs didn’t even blink. What a sad reflection of our actual ideals as a nation.
None of the data suggests that leftists had any significant impact on her loss.
Though I would not personally use the word slavery, I think there’s something to be said about viewing women’s bodies as property to the point where they are mutilated in a way that makes it more difficult to do even the most basic of tasks. Women were bought and sold chiefly by and for the benefit of men and things were done to them, often against their will, to make their market rate higher. Again, not sure I’d use the word slavery, but mostly because in the US it is so closely associated with chattel slavery that it is hard to warrant a comparison, even though it is pretty close to other forms of slavery.
She didn’t stand for the pledge so her teacher told her to go back to her own country, and apparently the settlement is:
As a part of the recent settlement, the Plymouth-Canton community schools district has pledged to provide diversity, sensitivity, and first amendment training for staff. The district has also agreed not to punish DK, remove any indication from school files that suggest her protest was inappropriate and provide needed counseling.
I understand that it needs to be officially written out, but it’s unbelievable to me that part of the settlement is that they won’t punish her. Yea, obviously you shouldn’t because she did nothing wrong. I know teachers unions can affect the outcomes of these, but that teacher should not be employed in a school. They are racist and I don’t know how students of color or immigrant students in general are meant to feel safe in their class.
Guy work in IT and spent 100k to pay devs to make an app so people can talk to his tuned ChatGPT? I hope anyone who has hired him checks his work. That does not bode well for his work product.
Another case from the article:
“I still use AI, but very carefully,” he says. “I’ve written in some core rules that cannot be overwritten. It now monitors drift and pays attention to overexcitement. There are no more philosophical discussions. It’s just: ‘I want to make a lasagne, give me a recipe.’ The AI has actually stopped me several times from spiralling. It will say: ‘This has activated my core rule set and this conversation must stop.’
What’s weird to me is they now recognize AI will lie to you but somehow think they can prompt it not to? Your rules can be “overwritten” because they do not exist to ChatGPT. It does not know what words mean.
Oh, I’m aware of that. Just that courts will not rule against things that involve the use of AI in general. You cannot take the output directly from, but once a human gets involved they will allow it. There’s too many monied interests to allow the restrictions.
The question should be whether the final product is worth what was sacrificed to make it. That line is different for everyone, but it’s important to keep that in mind. Plenty of companies I boycott make acceptable products but are supporting a genocide.
I don’t think generative AI use is worth it however it’s employed and regardless of the quality of the final product. If enough people agree maybe they’ll stop using it.
This would never hold up in court, in part due to regulatory capture, but I think this is the only thing that would stop them.
This was only done because the editors pushed to minimize AI involvement. There’s a comment here already mentioning that: https://lemmy.world/comment/22826863
The images I am referring to are likely distinct from the ones in the title as they are from his iPhone and Google is who reported him. Regardless in the article it says the detective looked at one of the Google reported images. Whether they just referenced a known hash I don’t know for sure, but I think it’s pretty well known that FAANG scan basically all images for CSAM nowadays.
This is not what it purports to be and is misleading at best. Up to 10% can still be AI and they charge a subscription. It’s a grift at best.
They don’t seem to be suggesting they use their own money. Just using their salary as a comparison. It’d be like if a trucking company related gas expenditures to employee salaries. If they had an employee that earned 80k but only spent $20 in gas, that would be odd. They seem to be suggesting that in order to prove their working efficiency, they should be spending a certain amount of company money on AI.
I don’t agree with the assessment, but I do think it should be clear that they are not expecting that money to come out of employee salaries.
The detective alleges that that photograph and others she examined appeared to be stored in a folder on the iPhone titled “Girls I Drugged And Raped.”
What terrible friends this woman has. According to the article, none of them bothered to go and look with her or stay over there for a few nights? The article makes clear she was experiencing hallucinations, but still, I feel like a persistent thing as described warrants some kind of follow up, at least for peace of mind. Maybe help her set up a nanny cam at the very least. And then none of them even apologized?
I’m also surprised there were no charges brought against her neighbor for aiding, but I have no idea how that works in the uk.
I know you didn’t ask, so feel free to ignore me completely, but I’ve had a bit of luck by starting with a completely different genre that forces a need for different rules. If you’re playing basic 5e and can switch to something where you’re running a ship then a rules change makes sense since a ship is expected to have different mechanics than a PC. Once they see that other systems have rules that make sense for and support the genre, they may be more invested in understanding them.
This link was shared on Lemmy just recently about this book. I watched some of the persons other videos, and though we have different tastes it seems like they can identify “bad” books.
Makes sense. All the Bernie bros were probably just lusting after a septuagenerian grandfather and that’s why he was so well liked.
What truly stupid things to support. In a world filled with celebrities getting/lying about cosmetic procedures many people can never afford, people generally being more aware of the halo effect, attractiveness being much more attainable for the wealthy, and most importantly, a large part of the voter base that was stolen from Dems being young men who have been lead to believe they are simply genetically disadvantaged and unable to have a good life because of it, we should select our elected officials based off looks. Amazing. Love this. This is the political take we deserve. Our country is over and it is now beyond satire.
