Good grief... You need only look back less than 20 years ago to the 2008 housing bubble, or 25 years ago to the early 2000's .com bubble to see that AI has all the same hallmarks.
There's far too much money going in, and not enough money going out.
I just hope that people's retirement funds don't end up in the fallout.
Honestly I get your frustration. Feeling like you're being hidden away...
But I think you're taking what you've got for granted. It sounds like your family is fairly liberal and well-meaning, but that doesn't mean her's is.
Even in the west, religious conservatism can get nasty real quick (especially for woman), so I can absolutely see why she might be scared to tell her family.
She probably doesn't like hiding you in the shadows any more than you do - you should be careful putting your feelings over her well-being.
I don't like the idea of a potentially world ending nuclear stand-off, but we've learned well enough from these past couple of years that having nukes is the only way to guarantee your country's sovereignty against other nuclear powers.
I'd feel sorry for Elon IF his losses weren't entirely perpetuated by his own immoral actions.
You want to be a fascist doing Nazi salutes and repeating Nazi rhetoric? - then don't be surprised when people don't want to associate you or your products.
Not that it matter, because he'll survive off the back of SpaceX - which of course is not on DOGE's radar.
I can only speak for the UK, but the multinational fast-foods are almost never the cheaper option compared to just getting something from a local takeaway.
Though I know from my student days that there are plenty of students who will happily go around claiming they're broke while only eating expensive food, as though one didn't cause the other.
In theory Nitrogen suffocation should be incredibly humane. Nitrogen gas is incredibly dangerous in the workplace exactly because the human body is incapable of noticing it displacing air. It can kill you without you even noticing until you keel over dead.
Problem is when you shove a mask on someone's face and pump nitrogen into it, that's not what you're doing...
That doesn't displace the air the executed was breathing, because the air has nowhere to go, so it just mixes with the Nitrogen gas.
The O2 gets used up and CO2 builds up until they die, which is basically normal suffocation (which is incredibly inhumane) with a side of Nitrogen gas.
To do it properly, you'd need to a much bigger chamber so that the air in the executed's lungs would be easily displaced, or a way to filter the CO2 out of the air they're breathing... But who's got time for that, when you can just torture prisoners with something that should be humane and pretend you have no idea why it "doesn't work properly" /s
LLMs are made to mimic how we speak, and some can even pass the Turing test, so I'm not surprised that people who don't know better think of these LLMs as conscious in some way or another.
It's not a necessarily a fault on those people, it's a fault on how LLMs are purposefully misadvertised to the masses
Customs and Border Protection said in an emailed statement, “Arriving aliens bear the burden of establishing admissibility to the United States.”
One, that language is a solid ick.
Two, while it may be true that she has to prove admissability...
A notice of court order violation filed Saturday said CBP “had actual notice of this Court’s order and willfully disobeyed this Court’s order.” It further requested an order to return Alawieh to Massachusetts immediately and to schedule an emergency hearing as soon as practicable.
... What the fuck is she meant to do when they refuse to accept her documents (a valid passport and H-1B visa), and then deport her in spite of an explicit court order??
Tell you what Nicole is really dedicated to making friends on here. Messaged just about everybody, with multiple accounts even. Definitely nothing suspicious about that /s
The fact that they're still doing this means people are falling for it, and I feel sorry for those people, cause this scam is clearly designed to prey on those who feel lonely and are too naive to know better
His "experts" are all cronies - and they're not even slightly interested in the plight of the people, including the retirement prospects of 71 year old Mrs. Redlich.
Having any faith that Trump's administratiom will do anything except line their wallets with tax payer money and do their upmost to fuck over Ukraine is morbidly stupid.
Honestly feel horrible for Zelensky.
Imagine having to sit there and be shouted down to by two men so obviously and utterly corrupt that they consider helping your country fight off tyranny to be a favour, as though that isn't what the Western world should be doing by default.
A game with actual gambling disguised as a loot system - perfectly fine, PEGI 3+
A game that depicts gambling but has no actual gambling in it - absolutely fucking NOT, PEGI 18+
I can understand why PEGI would be hesitant to give a game depicting gambling a rating of 3+...
But putting it as 18+, on the same level as actual, real money gambling games is ridiculous.
It shows a complete lack of awareness regarding the difference in danger between depiction of gambling vs actual gambling.
And perhaps more dangerously means malicious publishers (cough EA cough) are able to get away with slipping disguised real money gambling into their games (and in front of children eyes) unnoticed.
Similar to @Enkers@sh.itjust.works, I suspect I'm lacking some context here, but based purely on what I can see in this post, you came across as rather childish. I'm inclined to say YDI/BPR.
While I do agree that rule should have applied to Cowbee too, that doesn't give you carte-blanche to do the same.
Also, confronting someone you know to be a troll in an intentionally inflammatory manner, then getting annoyed that they chose to argue with you is like waving a red flag in front of a bull and being surprised it charged at you...
You baited that argument, so I don't have much sympathy for you in that regard.
It would be quite like Trump to completely disregard the consent of the people of Greenland in this exchange while giving them platitudes about how he respects their rights
