This person allegedly murdered two politicians, and is not facing terrorism charges.

Luigi allegedly murdered one CEO - not even a politician - and is being charged with terrorism.

This doesn’t add up.

There’s the whole argument right there.

Store it in an airtight container and you won’t have that problem.

Very few things refuse to work on Firefox mobile. The one exception I’ve run across is trying to log into Google, which insists that I should use a ‘compatible’ browser. Like Chrome.

If I switch what user agent Firefox is reporting so that it LOOKS like I’m using Chrome, it works perfectly, surprise, surprise. I hate Google.

Bernie came somewhat close to beating HRC in 2016

Bernie came close while simultaneously getting sandbagged at every opportunity by the DNC. If he’d gotten the same kind of attention as Hillary, there’s a very good chance he would have won.

DNC is only the party of progress because there isn’t another viable party that’s better at it. It’s up to us to push them to the left, because they’re really bad at doing it themselves. NYC proved that it’s possible; I only hope it mobilizes the rest of the left-leaning populace to take similar action. Vote blue and do what you can locally to enact change.

my state requires I pay a tax…

You mean like everything else?

do a background check that takes about a day… then do the same background check but it takes a few days to a few weeks… then I have to wait 30 business days which is like 3 months…

Did that, didn’t stop me. And one month is three months, got it. That’s just time though.

oh and I need live fire training where I have to fire a minimum of 50 rounds which each round is taxed and I am given a pass/fail status by an old fudd who thinks I should never handle a firearm because I’m a registered Democrat…

Simple solution - don’t tell old fuddies who have power over you that you’re a Democrat.

I am severely limited in my choices as nearly every good personal defense firearm is banned either by name or because it has a useful feature like threaded barrels to mount a suppressor which will help with my hearing loss as I age… I probably won’t get what I want either because the standard mag comes with a capacity of 11 or more rounds…

I understand that making a decision on personal defense firearms is a difficult choice. Just because your options are limited, though, doesn’t mean you can’t find a piece that works for you. And WEAR FUCKING HEARING PROTECTION WHEN YOU SHOOT. Y’know, like everyone else does. If you’re in a life-or-death situation, sure, you’re going to suffer from having to shoot an unsilenced gun, but better a ringing in your ears than starving to death in a foreign prison.

We can’t stop now! The commons haven’t been sufficiently tragedied!

Ahhh, good ol’ productive procrastination!

Oh man I would have loved to be in that conversation. Instead of cringing, you start walking them through some of the more advanced corollaries that proceed from that one realization. Keep going until you break them. At that point, you can start having actual interesting conversations with them.

Allegedly a terrorist. The trial isn’t over yet.

And the complaint has two parts - first, that Luigi is being labelled a terrorist, and SECOND, that the political murderer was NOT charged with terrorism when the murders very clearly were politically motivated.

The purpose of a system is what it does.

Erm. I’m trying to clear up what I thought looked like misconceptions you have about AI in regards to real-world applications, but I seem to have come on too strong, and I apologize; I have a tendency to put on a know-it-all attitude and it’s something I’m trying to work on.

Have a good day, I’ll leave you alone now.

you called me a robot racist.

…what?

Looking up the most common answer isn’t intelligence, there is no understanding of cause and effect going on inside the algorithm

In order for that to be true, the entire dataset would need to be contained within the LLM. Which it is not. If it were, a model wouldn’t have to undergo training.

AI implies intelligence

You seem to be mistaking ‘intelligence’ for ‘human-like intelligence’. This is not how AI is defined. AI can be dumber than a gnat, but if it’s capable of making decisions based on stimulus without each set of stimulus and decision being directly coded into it, then it’s AI. It’s the difference between what is ACTUALLY called AI, and when a sci-fi show or novel talks about AI.

Okay, what is your definition of AI then, if nothing burned onto silicon can count?

If LLMs aren’t AI, then absolutely nothing up to this point probably counts either.

It’s not, but it felt like further than that when I was 7 years old.

Ahhhh yeah, that would do it. :/

See, the funny thing though is that in this specific situation, the workers were legally there. They had gone through the proper channels. They had work permits. This has nothing to do with the law and everything to do with racism, xenophobia, and a power-tripping ICE.

So you’re not wrong, but now even the people who are doing it right are getting punished.

It’s a very specialized program intended to get a computer to do something that computers are generally very, very bad at - write sensible language about a wide variety of topics. Trying to then get that one specialized program to turn around and do things that computers are good at, and expect to do it well, is very silly.

If a seagull is stealing chips from someone, odds are there are plenty of other seagulls around to witness their compatriot getting merked.

Seagulls understand that stealing from humans is risky - that’s why they generally do it very quickly. The ones who fail suffer consequences for their failure, same as stealing food from any other creature. It’s the risk/reward calculation any scavenger has to make.

Sometimes they calculate incorrectly. They get forcibly removed from the gene pool.

Of course, it’s also illegal in a lot of countries to harm seagulls, so in that sense, he was in the wrong anyways.

Tom’s Hardware suggests that around 260 million PCs were sold in 2023, and 44 million of those were gaming PCs. That comes out to around 17%, which is smaller than 25%, but within spitting distance of 20% - and much larger than 5%. Definitely not a sliver.
