/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

  • Teenager I work with: "Yeah I don't really get hangovers, no matter how much I drink."

  • It's metabolized in the liver, and oxidizes into acetic acid which is then bound to an enzyme (which is synthesized from vitamin B5, so that's where the depletion comes in) and further used to metabolize carbs and fats. Drinking water does... something? We're at the limits of my popsci knowledge at this point lol

    Jump

  • So, what, you think they actually listened to criticism and stopped naming their bots after women because they respect the opinions of their critics?

    Interesting.

  • Hydration isn't actually the biggest factor. When you drink, your liver metabolizes alcohol into acetaldehyde, which is toxic. Hydration helps simply because being more hydrated makes poisons more tolerable, but dehydration isn't the cause of a hangover.

  • Those are legacy bots, from before things changed. The new bots are genderless or Claude. Why is that?

    Why won't you interrogate this question even slightly?

  • Tesla 'Robotaxi' adds 5 more crashes in Austin in a month — 4x worse than humans

    Jump

  • Or it could be the thing that pops the bubble.

    There's really no way to predict this shit lol

  • In the analogy the secretary was gendered as a woman, and now it has been degendered as a bot.

    Why did it happen that specific way? Perhaps they saw the criticism of all their bots having women's names, but why was their solution to remove gendered names almost entirely? Why don't we see a mix of men's and women's names, instead of only Claude?

  • The fact that people who aren't licensed to drive in the US are driving Waymos is so fucking absurd. The first time one of those remote drivers kills someone is probably going to result in Waymo's whole business model to collapse from court fees alone.

  • Replacing the secretaries with genderless chatbots still misses the point.

  • Okay, imagine a company is being criticized because it only hires woman as secretaries.

    So they change their policy to never hire women.

    Kinda misses the point.

  • A Kentucky town bet big on Ford's EV strategy. Then the battery plant closed

    Jump

  • Yup, our plant invested a lot into battery side plates and fixtures.

    Whoops.

    At least we still make other parts and that part of the plant seems fine, but the battery line has gone from three shifts to just one.

  • Lindsey Graham in Tel Aviv: “Wars of the future are being planned here in israel”

    Jump

  • Not just wars, it comes home too. The surveillance technology that gets "battle tested" in Israel comes to the US border, and then comes to business and home security, and suddenly there's AI-powered surveillance of everyone everywhere all at once.

  • Why are small business owners considered petit bourgeoisie?

    Jump

  • Actually, wouldn't this make them an artisan? Not proletarian because they own the tools they use to do their work, but not bourgeois because they also don't exploit any workers other than themselves.

  • Trump Signs Order Designating “Antifa” a “Domestic Terrorist Organization”

    Jump

  • It's like when Ilhan Omar said in Somalia they execute pedophiles, not elect them, and then the pedophile protection party got mad lol

  • True, it probably would cause inflation. I'm not sure how much income taxes specifically contribute to reducing inflation, though. The government collects money from lots of sources, and just like taxes, when it collects money from fees or fines or levies it's just removing that money from circulation.

    Besides, it's not like the government couldn't adapt. It'd be trivial at this point to make tax deductions automatic, they just force us to use tax software to satisfy that lobby group. So, with that in mind, I suppose a tax strike would be a cool way to eliminate some parasitic finance capital.

  • LLMs couldn't really pollute code until a couple of years ago, I don't think you should lump it in with the other previous ten years.

    Besides, I'm not saying the FOSS model is a problem. I use Linux. I'm saying letting every asshole with a ChatGPT subscription submit code is not a good model. There needs to be some kind of vetting/credentialism/social credit system.
