Getting out of the jury box has got to be the absolute most absurd reason I’ve ever heard for wanting to relinquish citizenship.

Going back to Bob Jones as a pansexual atheist is not particularly high on my agenda.

I mean, he told you what he was tryinna do

My argument was one of stochasticism. A broken clock is right twice a day, but a machine that says to 100% of FB users “you aren’t happy” will be right more often than not.

Does that really need AI? The world is dystopian af, can’t it just declaratively assert “you are sad” and be right just about as often as some expensive inference operation?

Honestly at this point you could just republish the original. The Grievances are back in fashion it seems.

Fine, ignore it and pay more for your energy usage as you are free to do.

JFC, y’all! It wasn’t over a zine. It was over moving a zine!

Every POS is also calculating those taxes anyway to print on your receipt. The only reason prices on tags don’t include tax is because it’s not required and smaller number is better.

I have two Microsoft Outlooks, and neither one of those are working

He has about $1,000,000,000,000 more than me.

“No,” and “yes,” and “maybe.”

No: Public companies have to maximize profits for their investors–everything else be dammed. That means your investments are not really able to go to a “good cause” if trading publicly.

Yes: Private companies may allow investing in the company if you work for them. If you have a job with one that’s socially conscious you can invest directly in that. Private companies do not need to maximize profits.

Maybe: You could look into microloan platforms. I haven’t checked the efficacy of any in particular, and you won’t make much, but there are some causes that’ll be directly impactful.

I can’t wait for an updated knowledge cutoff to find the updated first 31 digits!

Whether or not you said you like reading isn’t really applicable. That you find books complicated and want a computer to dumb it down for you to the extent that you maybe can’t read a book anymore is indicative of the mental acuity you are capable of bringing to a conversation or task.

Critical thinking is an exercise that one must keep up with, regardless of interest, if one is to be able to maintain effectiveness of it. Supplanting one’s own capabilities with a regression model will cause one’s abilities to atrophy and further a dependence on that algorithm regardless of its own incremental improvements.

Books are not inherently complicated. They make them for kids. The fact you find them thus is an indicator of your own lack of ability.

Hooo Boy, that is not the take you think it is.

• Excessive resource use for what it can produce thereby negatively impacting the broader environment
• Excessive noise and heat pollutants (among others if generating power locally) thereby negatively impacting local environments
• Used for trivial things that could generally be done faster or more accurately by a human
• Places the levers of available knowledge and social influence in the hands of a few powerful men
• Excessive use supplants your trained ability to critically think which can make you more dependent upon them in the future
• The generic LLMs we have today are being invested in at the expense of investments in other technologies which could have a greater positive impact
• People are losing their jobs to a machine that does it worse in a society with no recourse for protecting human life

Chatgpt, as made available by the first search result for “chatgpt.” I chose this approach to match your claim you chose to repeat without verification.

I am not going to cross shop stochastic regressions with an English LUT in order to find one that works better for math just to appease your suspiciously wheel ladened goal post.

I have to use them for work. Even the cloud hosted ones (which are arguably better than self hosted as they can have more resources thrown at them) need all of their output reviewed. They just aren’t up to the level of code generation as a senior dev yet (and if you think they are, I feel sorry for how unskilled your team is).

That is a testable claim. I just had it calculate the force of gravity between 2 objects and it was wrong by virtue of rounding incorrectly. That’s like highschool level math.

How does seeing something equate to celebration, recognition, or solemnization?
