No, bulls didn’t exist then.

That’s just turning the adjective into a verb. It’s literally the same thing. This is a common practice in the English language. It doesn’t change the meaning, only how it’s used in a sentence. If someone “cucks” you, that’s them doing the action that makes you a cuck(old).

Well, back then there was more oxygen in the air, which allowed tornados to grow larger.

Is your comment written by AI? It seems weird, and we already went over most of what it says.

Also, DQ runs on Nintendo systems. That makes me certain it’s cloud based.

Damn, your system is insane. Yeah, an RPG maker game is next to nothing compared to that. Still, Dragon Quest I think is 3D. It takes a lot more VRAM than RPG maker.

I have 16GB VRAM, which is a lot for most systems. That’s easily consumed by an LLM. Any model that doesn’t use at least that much tends to perform pretty poorly, in my experience. That’s not mentioning how much heat it generates while running, which has to be removed from the system or it’ll slow down. Even if your system can handle it, it heats up fast. It’s great when I need a heater running, but when I need AC my room gets warm quick.

That’s a monolog. Gog Magog is an Israeli martial art.

I legitimately think the best lasagna is leftover lasagna. Throw in in the oven for a little while, maybe under the broiler for a bit, and I think it’s better than fresh.

Someone else mentioned that it’s actually pretty consensual. I assumed it wasn’t, but I guess I must be wrong. Again, it’s been a very long time since I’ve seen them. I know that consent wasn’t the big talking point then that it is now, so I just thought they’d have fucked it up. It’s good to see they didn’t totally.

If you look towards the horizon with the sun, a little before sunrise or after sunset, you’ll probably be able to see flashes of them as they catch the light.

Not exactly unbiased sources. Also, the first one doesn’t quite say the same thing. It says the US should support Israel. The second source is exicitlt from a group who’s goal is to say that jews are all aligned on the idea of supporting Zionism. I don’t trust that one at all. You don’t get an unbiased poll from a group that is explicitly trying to show everyone agrees. They don’t align with the responses from the poll I cited either.

The only way to be too smart to be scammed is to understand that you are perfectly capable of being scammed and always looking out for it.

I don’t know, but I’m willing to bet that economies of scale actually mean data centers are more efficient. This isn’t to say their use is justified, just that they’re able to take advantage of things a home computer can’t.

However, having to run it locally means it needs to be much more limited. This is doubly true if you want to run the game and the LLM at the same time. The LLM is easily able to consume all resources your system has available if you allow it to, which means the game won’t run well (if it runs at all). This limits the use so it can’t just be shoved everywhere and constantly running, like it could if it’s sent to a data center. It’s not more efficient, just less consumption.

What about the terminology then? My previous examples are usually covered under evolution, not genetic manipulation, and I think intention is the key difference. Evolution happens on its own, while editing requires an intention.

I think evolution also covers selective breeding, which is intentional too. The “natural” form is natural selection. I think “Genetic Engineering” is the best term for the lab process. It’s not ideal, because I’d argue selective breeding could still be argued to be genetic engineering, but it’s the most accurate I think that exists. Engineering does imply a certain amount of control that could be argued isn’t met by selective breeding. Genetically modified organism (GMO) is a horrible term, though that is probably the most common term for the lab process.

Well, just off the top of my head, from very old memories, there’s tons of sexual assault. Also lots of making fun of fat people and people with different bodies in general. I’m sure there’s a lot more.

Are you sure? Those machines on the bottom left of the image certainly look like a slot machine, or something like it. I guess it could be advertising it for something somewhere else?

You’re the second person to say some crazy number like that, without any supporting evidence. I don’t think you’re right. In the US, it’s only 1/3 of jews. Whatever the number is, it’s way too high, but it isn’t that high.

A slippery slope isn’t always a fallacy. Yes, that is a specific name of a fallacy, which people commonly point out, but it is also the form of a valid logical argument. If there is support that this will happen, it isn’t a fallacy.

I this case, a user-entered field is useless to “protect children” (being generous and assuming this is the actual reason for the laws). Children will just lie, as they have been doing for decades. The state will point to this as the law not fulfilling its stated goals, so they’ll need to verify age through other means. Even if the goal isn’t surveillance of people, this is still likely to be the result logically. This means the slippery slope argument is valid.

Si vis pacem, para bellum.

If you look weak, you’re a target. The only way to have peace is to look strong.

Yeah, I do think the lab kind should be in a different category, but it shouldn’t be shunned. It’s a new way to do an ancient thing. The biggest difference is that genes from one species (or designed ones) can’t get into a different one naturally (very frequently or easily —viruses can, but that’s pretty limited without humans managing it). Usually the genes need to be present in a population for them to be selected for. Either that, or caused by a random mutation, which decreases the rate this can happen.

It’s potentially dangerous, if it isn’t managed properly. It could introduce some issues that wouldn’t be with slower methods. However, it’s not a serious concern. It being modified in a lab doesn’t inherently make it harmful any more than all the other ways does. It’s just far more capable. It can solve some huge issues, and we shouldn’t shun it.

I like that in Battlestar Galactica, Sir is the honorific for all military officers. They use madame for the president, but the military calls everyone Sir.
