Hello thanks for visiting my profile.

  • How do I explain my reluctance to use generative AI in good faith?

    Jump

  • Personally it's because the harder something is pushed to me by large corporations, the more skeptical I am to begin with.

    It is your stance, you don't have to compulsively change other people's minds, let them live their lives and you live how you want. For people that are wanting to listen to you, you can tell them how you feel about AI (or perhaps specifically AI chatbots) in both subjective and objective terms. If you want to prepare research and talking points, I think the most effective thing is to have a couple examples such as the Google AI box putting out objectively wrong info with the citation links leading to sites that don't back up any claim in it. Or how the outputs of comic style image generation tend to look like knock-off Tintin and appear uninspiring and unsettling. How reading generated paragraphs, looking at images and videos of fluffy slop is simply a waste of time for you. Just mix that with all the rest of the shortcomings people have provided and you'll make for a good discussion. Remember, the point is not to change people's minds or proselytize but rather to explain why you hold your opinion.

  • He isn't pivoting going public with the opinion he'd apparently held privately.

    Here's a member within the NYC-DSA arguing against it: https://www.socialistmajority.com/theagitator/chi-osse-endorsement

    Starting an independent socialist political party I don't think changes the discussion whether Chi Ossé would contend well against Jeffries, and the idea that time effort and money would be better spent working towards a seat in the NY State Assembly.

  • Booking.com cancels $4K hotel reservation, offers same rooms again for $17K

    Jump

  • If this didn't work, the person should take it to Québec small claims court aka Petites Créances, against Booking and the Montréal hotel.

    The QC courts tend to have a higher standard of reasonableness favourable to the consumer when it comes to consumer contracts. "Mistakenly didn't jack up the price for the grand prix and charged regular price instead" is not the same as "a typo causing it to offer far below reasonable cost".

  • Nation Building

    Jump

  • I suppose we could.

    One tradeoff is that the planks or finish products will have to be wrapped in very large amounts of plastic to avoid damage in-transit.

    Another hurdle is there would need to be major changes in operation. Did you see those funny shaped boats that drag logs around in the water? You can't do that with finished lumber or manufactured products. They should expand the E&N railway to accommodate freight delivery and open passenger service.

  • Trump praises Mamdani after White House meeting: "I want him to do a great job"

    Jump

  • "I expect to be helping him, not hurting him. A big help. Because I want New York City to be great. Look, I love New York City, it's where I come from, I spent a lot of years there. … I think this mayor could do some things that are going to be really great."

    NYC has a special place in this man's shriveled heart, he's been wanting validation and respect from it but never received it. Since he couldn't get an ass-kisser in power, the next best thing is to try to make himself look good by helping Mamdani's agenda.

    But honestly, if Mamdani proves that socialism works in NYC, I care about that a lot more than how much credit Trump will ultimately get from it.
