blusterydayve26,

But what if I wanted to communicate with humans instead of propaganda-bots? Then yes, that Internet is dead, and there’s no real fucking reason to be on most of those sites.

blusterydayve26,

I think an algorithm that sounds unprepared to deal with children is insufficient.

blusterydayve26,

You can’t expect them to improve that much in just one quarter.

blusterydayve26,

If you’re trying to use them correctly. Otherwise, they’re just “less lethal” and easier to deploy.

The word you’re looking for is “Plutocracy,” and it has a long history: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plutocracy

blusterydayve26,

It’s the carcinisation of programming languages. Everything evolves into JavaScript.

blusterydayve26,

It’s a $6000 upcharge. I think you have to make an appointment for it?

blusterydayve26,

You’re two years late.

Maybe not for the reputable ones, that’s 2026, but these sheisters have been digging out the bottom of the swimming pool for years.

Gemini webrings are the future?

blusterydayve26,

Is it really a solution, though, or is it just GIGO?

For example, GPT-4 is about as biased as the medical literature it was trained on, not less biased than its training input, and thereby more inaccurate than humans:

The kind the anti government wants you to believe that people believe exist, of course.

Where climate change is going, there won’t be civilization.

There you go, assuming the problem is worth the corporation’s time and money to bother solving. The correct answer is to not bother hiring a customer support department and telling people that they’re SOL when stuff goes wrong. The goal is to take in more money than you spend on customer support, so you spend none.

It’s a damn fine shame this is necessary only after Scott Walker gave a $2 billion tax break to his 10,000 wealthiest donors.

blusterydayve26,

I think they’re pointing out the precision-of-language thing: a-theism is the belief that god does not exist. A-gnosticism is the belief that you are unsure whether any number of gods exist. The least amount of opinion you can have about deities is to be a disinterested agnostic (I think?): “I don’t care if god exists enough to wonder about it.”

(Since you can point to the deceitful-god theory to say that the entire universe formed in this instant with this state, and your memories are just a result of god’s machinations a moment ago, both atheism and agnosticism are non-disprovable. The deceitful-god theory may run counter to the common Christian doctrine of Theodicy and may therefore not be subscribed to by many.)

That’s not really normal. Off the top of my head, in order from most likely to least, here’s a list of things to check. Unfortunately, all of them cost money.

  1. Carbon Monoxide detector. Put the batteries in outdoors before you set it up in your house: some require calibration in clear air first. Follow instructions.
  2. Schedule a MD appointment to discuss this. Or at least monitor your heart rate while you’re asleep to see whether it might be sleep apnea. You might also ask about getting tested for ADHD.
  3. Check for black mold or water leaks, probably requires a plumber, or home inspection, or your own testing hardware.
  4. Can you change your diet to see if it’s anything you’re allergic to, like nuts or rat poison? Do you make your own food?
  5. A Geiger counter works wonders to see if anyone’s stored unprotected fissile material in your home, like that wacko who disassembled smoke detectors.

The cities are liberal, but there’s a lot of rural communities that have never had to deal with people before.

The northeast is known for being kind but not nice. Four New Yorkers will carry your luggage down the subway stairs and never look at you once. The south is known for being nice, but not kind. That’s where the poisoned sweet tea comes from. The west is known for neither, if you have car trouble, the best you can hope for in Portland is being ignored. The Midwest is known for being both nice and kind, where neighbors will shovel you out and wish you a nice day before going on to the next car.

blusterydayve26,

I don’t know if it’s property so much as just being around and having to live around so many different people. Like, if I take the bus, I’ll probably pass a hundred different folks to and from work, and only two are going to annoy me.

But, it’s a lot easier to be insular if I live in a small town with 300 people, and can easily assume all my problems are someone else’s fault. I’ll see three new people a week when the tourists stop at the gas station.

30 kph is fine, but the top speed in the US is 45 kph (Class I vs Class III) feels crazy fast.
