Is that true? the space bar is a keyboard shortcut?

My latest keyboard doesn’t have a ctrl on the right side and it took me 2 weeks to adjust.

AI is like the office worker who’s the nephew of the CEO. They’re never going to go away, but can be useful for tedious work, so long as someone checks behind them.

Is there any evidence of American rat-fuckery in the Bolivian coup attempt?

There is a concept in post-modern philosophy called “hauntology”. This theory posits that late-capitalist societies loose their ability to imagine different social orders; and cannot imagine the future except as high-tech versions of the current social order. To fill the void of novelty, the culture industry must constantly recycle and repackage old culture.

Anyway, this isn’t a new phenomena, just a technology enabling us to resurrect live people instead of just fictional characters.

DAE remember that the OceanGate CEO bragged that Boeing helped them manufacture the sub?

At the time Boeing disavowed, but who you gonna believe?

This is a bad take. Software updates that fix life threatening defects are as serious as any recall.

It’s motivated reasoning. Either the people making this argument are Tesla owners, simps, or shareholders and are trying to protect the phantasmagorical value of the company.

Saying “my car’s drive-by-wire software gets more firmware updates than my printer” is not a flex.

Well, I know what the next Jimquisition is going to be about.

Everyone thinks the US is a litigious society, but it’s the consequence of our political order. The lack of regulations are “compensated” by the right to tort. In many instances, there is no authority to enforce rights, only the ability to sue. The Americans with Disabilities Act works this way. (and there are many calling to remove that option, making the entire law theoretical)

Of course, the idea is that lawsuits will discourage people from getting redress because of the high-bar to enter a case into the legal system. But that wasn’t enough, so the capitalists are trying to take that away too.

There are few things more obscene under capitalism than a privatized court system.

The consumer choice center is a Washington/ Brussels think tank and lobbying group. They are passionate about free markets and consumer choice and oppose taxes and regulations on things like petroleum products, tobacco, and sugary/fatty foods.

I don’t have an opinion on the “Kids” act, just consider the source.

That’s kinda the problem. He’s much more comfortable behind a microphone than behind a telescope.

The American war for independence was hardly a revolution, more like an under new management. For the average citizen, material conditions didn’t change at all. Most institutions were carried over with slight rebranding. The democracy was limited and the constitution had a pound of protection for the ownership class for every ounce of franchise doled out to merchant class men.

Liberty and democracy are for 3^rd grade textbooks. The truth is that the ownership class was sick of taking royal orders and tired of paying franchise fees. The crown foolishly defeated the other colonial and native powers on the continent, sapping royal strength while removing British utility to the Americans.

Next up are the Industrial Revolution, Manifest Destiny, and America as the ‘land of the free,’ which came as a surprise to the slaves

Democracy and technology? You’re thinking of Taiwan.

When you’re creating something new, production is research. We can’t expect Dr. Frankenstein to be unbiased, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have insights worth knowing.

LLM are pretty new, how many experts even exist outside of the industry?

Standards for journalism are impossibly low. Standards for media criticism don’t exist.

People who know more than me have pointed out that the the hole in the fuselage and the plug found on the ground don’t show the kind of damage you’d expect if the bolts were present and secure.

So them being absent entirely is consistent with the publicly available evidence.

Every monument should fall. The only reason to honor Bob Lee is because he’s responsible for more dead slavers than any three Union generals.

I thought this was interesting bc it’s an instance where a LLM has done something undeniably novel and unique while expanding human understanding. It’s a chink in the armor of the idea that a LLM is a “stochastic parrot” that can only regurgitate and never create.

I’ve been toying with this idea that LLM are showing us that what we thought of as creativity, learning, and problem solving aren’t as rarefied as we thought. We know that AI isn’t conscious, maybe consciousness isn’t as prerequisite to behaviors and cognition as we thought.

I wouldn’t differentiate between OTA and bring-to-the-shop recalls, I’d draw the line between defect repair and threat to life and safety. If the OTA update keeps the car from killing the passengers or pedestrians, It’s probably not a good idea to minimize the flaw through semantics.

If you ride motorcycles: please be an organ donor.

Elmo says the goal is to make Grock “politically neutral”. Politically neutral is code for “politics that are inoffensive to chuds”.

Many of us who were alive at the time owe Ms. Lewinsky an apology. None more so than Bill Clinton.
