Maybe the solution is some Spotify like service for journalism. Ie. Pay $20 a month and get access to most papers, and the revenue is split by view count. Even better would be making it a tax so since everyone is paying there’s no need for login.

The full quote was “conservative media commentator” which I think means he comments on conservative media, not that he is a conservative who is a media commentator. I agree it’s confusing wording though.

Would’ve been better if they just called him a journalist as he’s closer to that then a commentator.

LLMs being the most visible part of AI after over 75 years of AI, isn’t because they’re the biggest or latest or greatest or whatever, it’s marketing. Plain and simple marketing.

Probably more that it’s the only AI normal people will interact with regularly. Your average person isn’t going to run a protein folding application, but they will probably talk to chatgpt or use Google AI summaries.

Bitcoin finely found a use case that’s not crime. Take that crypto haters.

The carbon cost of producing the EV is higher though, but yeah long term still better as long as you use it for like 5 years and don’t get a new one whenever it comes out like it’s an iPhone.

I feel like the white blood cells should be the guards. They’re the ones who will kill anything that gets out of line, and they’re white….

Same vibe as Stalins

How many divisions does the pope command?

The coffee thing shows either a contrarian attitude or a naive one. Im tempted to say, go do a bump of coke and tell me thats a similar animal. Its not.

I have done coke a couple times, and idk if it was just bad coke or didn’t take enough but I felt it was overrated. Didn’t mix it with alcohol though which apparently enhances the effects but would say it’s on a similar level to a high dose of caffeine. Like a bump of coke I would put on the same level as an energy drink. Maybe a line would make me think differently but I’ve only ever done bumps/keys.

This isn’t to say I think all drugs are the same, I wouldn’t put coffee on the same level as molly or alcohol for the high.

Yeah, a pound of weed is probably around the size of a pillow, you’d need a campfire to burn that, not joints

Depends on where the horniness is coming from, if it’s from prog(esterone?) like the op said and it’s tied to hormonal cycles then you maybe got a day to get over there.

Nah, they’d gladly prevent trans women , who they view as men, from getting gender affirming care. They would try to prevent this on the same grounds of “it’s not natural to mess with people’s hormones”

Bring some hot sauce and slip it in when no one is looking.

How do you separate that definition of addiction from psycological medication usage. Like someone with depression could feel the need to alter there state of being everyday with SSRIs, are they an addict? Same with someone with an anxiety disorder who takes Xanax, or someone with chronic pain taking oxycontin.

Addiction, in my view, requires continued use despite negative consequences, otherwise it’s just dependence. If you’re dependent on something that is neutral to or helping you live a good life, however you want to define that, then that dependence isn’t a bad thing. This applies to people’s relationships to both substances and other people.

Wow, good on Iran for not leaving their ally out to dry. Trump’s mind probably can’t grasp the idea of loyalty so he probably never thought this would happen when he announced it yesterday.

Echoing back “I am alive” isn’t on the same level as saying “find a vulnerability” and the agent finding and executing that vulnerability. One a toddler can do, the other requires a lot of technical expertise.

You cease, I fire, that’s how it works

Ignore the “containment” framing, they made a hacking bot and it seems to actually be good at finding and exploiting vulnerabilities:

The AI model “found a 27-year-old vulnerability in OpenBSD—which has a reputation as one of the most security-hardened operating systems in the world,” the company wrote.

Dismiss this as marketing drivel all you want but hacking is just the sort of needle in a haystack problem that AI is very good at. It requires broad knowledge, a lot of cycles trying and failing, and is easily verifiable, ie. Can you execute arbitrary scripts or not. Even if this release is BS good hacking agents are bound to come eventually and we should be discussing the implications of that instead of burying our heads in the sand, pretending AI is useless and that this is all hype.

what someone with generational wealth should be doing to be a good person.

Give their butler a generous holiday bonus after they drive you home insufferably drunk on new years

Mint still takes upstream changes from Ubuntu though right?

How?
