Yay! I’m in! I’m very excited about this

Use my fancy tea cup at work

Lol, exactly and the CDC advisory is for 10 states

I’m not arguing they should be wearing masks in a polling station

I think it’s reasonable to expect people in a voting location to be clearly visible and recognizable

I agree (in most cases). I’m arguing that these folks are more likely stupid than malicious.

By that logic the Pope and the Michelin man look like a members of the KKK

This is a bit of hyperbole. If there where trying to intimidate voters they wouldn’t dress up like ghosts. Stay vigilant but didn’t label everything as a conspiracy, some people are just stupid.

edit: I don’t live in the US but I have spent a lot of time there. The vast majority of Americans are great people. From an outside perspective, it’s a little disturbing to see how quickly this thread devolved into conspiracy. Hanlon’s razor and all that. Focus on the many actual threats to US democracy instead of paranoid ghost hunting.

Just solve Hilbert’s problem and post the proof here. Then people will think the LLM solved the problem 🤣

So pot plants have somewhere to die

Yeah, I’m sure it’s for auditing and being able to respond to freedom of information requests etc

I’m sorry about your grandmother. Given she had a stocked liquor cabinet for guests shows she was a thoughtful person. I hope you found some great memories in her belongings.

I use the Amazon, not the online retailer, the rain forest.

If you’re immortal in the sense that you don’t age it would be dangerous to be outted. 8 billion jealous mortals would be an issue for you.

I’ve used Thorium in the past and thought it was decent. But given Google’s updates to the chromium project I’ve moved away from chromium based browsers.

Prove it

Generative AI is great for loads of programming tasks like helping create regular expressions or syntax conversions between languages. The main issue I’ve seen in codebases that rely heavily on generative AI is that the “solutions” often fix today’s bug while making future debugging more difficult. Generative AI makes it easy to go fast in the wrong direction. Used right it’s a useful tool.

Commercial social media is a cancer on society. Facebook has convinced adults to commit atrocities. There is no doubt it’s harming children.

I agree. Very few people in industry are claiming that LLMs will become AGI. The release of o1 demonstrates that even OpenAI are pivoting from pure LLM approaches. It was always going to be a framework approach that utilizes LLMs.

I suppose a nuclear ICBM could be considered a long range EMP burst emitter. And a nuclear ICBM would be effective at disabling a robot cops but it’s probably overkill.
