There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

    What spoke the loudest was her silence after some of the questions. Wheels spinning. Knowing there's no good answers.

  • Words are fun. A related word would be lieutenant. There was some scifi detective series about a time traveler who came from the Revolutionary period into modern times and helped a woman cop. Mid 2000s? Anyway, they tried to be somewhat accurate and used the word as it's pronounced for centuries before being Americanized, "leftenent". And in looking it up, the history and arguments over when and why are themselves interesting.

    Me: I didn't even realize it was wrong or knew it was a thing, then or now. TIL I think I saw "kernel" in my mind.

  • So this should be posted on a subLemmy? Reddit has a large history of terminology. People have adjusted to saying communities fine.

    I was using the "room" concept on Q-Link (Quantum Link) 40 years ago. You know, when we had to connect on slow lines. Uphill, both ways.

  • Either I've seen this type of thing before when he first went public, or it's been some other famous person needing to do similar. Could be both, honestly. Leads to the same problem. Even money can't save you in this kind of crooked system.

  • The negative side has Kool-Aid? I assume you just refer to the fringe that make outrageous claims and not the "ordinary" doomers that realize if we've thrown out safety for profit with "just" LLMs, we're absolutely going to go in full throttle with anything more.

    I haven't run across anyone involved in the safety aspects of AI in any form who is very happy or comfortable right now. There is a reason for that.

  • I guess it's consent. The master/deity or their aide comes to the servant and tells them of master's will, the great plan. The servant says, yeah, okay.

    Yet another fail in writing. Why not make it so God and Gabriel give her the choice, and she adamantly agrees? Remove all doubt from the story's plot. Or better yet, add some drama, have Mary unsure, and Gabriel explains the importance (not that it's already planned, but why her choice is key to the direction of salvation and all that). And she with some thought decides to do it.

    Oh, right... that would give a woman some agency. Never mind.
