Damn liberals always telling you what to do.

Conservatives just make it prohibitively expensive to do what you want to do.

Well yeah but that’s the overall problem with the world in general right now. Basically the whole concept is “right now there’s less job opprotunities”, so companies can race to the bottom, let people underbid eachother. But in the future… there may or may not be opprotunity to advance.

What makes it scary is basically the industries statement is “yeah we’re cutting jobs here… but historically we’ve always come up with new jobs to replace the ones we get rid of”, but now there’s just no real indication of that to be the case. There’s obviously a tipping point to that, we can’t manufacture everything infinitely and there always be a market. Especially when disposable income for the average person is rapidly declining as everyone’s putting most of their resources into essentials.

Companies generally like to hire from within because they can often pay below market average. Just treat those jobs as an internship, pad your resume, then start looking for better opportunities.

That works sometimes and backfires others. No shortage of companies that make the exact opposite call. “well the guy working in department A is more qualified than this outsider… but then we have to find someone to do the job in department A, an outsider lets us just replace the one piece that’s missing”.

I mean maybe it can work, I’m a 40 year old IT vet, every upward move I’ve ever made in my life involved switching companies. Bosses always tell me I’m too good at what I do for them to want me to move up.

Now maybe some do. obviously no matter what the advice we can find someone it worked for, and someone it worked against.

Neil de grass tyson may be a bit of a blowhard, but I think his point on this issue was pretty damn valid.

No matter how you slice it, sports working is all about drawing random lines to categorize people to be able to compete with eachother. Boxing, wrestling etc… have weight classes. Point is there’s not any specific reason why “biological sex” is the chosen category, and admitted there’s not a reason why it should be. Do cis men overall have inherent advantages over women, yes. Do left handed baseball players have an advantage… seems to be the case for some reason.

not sure how that could be done in 6 months. Tearing down can be done in weeks, but building with any level of quality takes years. Also as much as I would love to burn down everything that reminds us of trump. I want the next president focused on cleaning up the trump messes that are ruining all of our lives, rather than making the whitehouse look good.

Where I don’t think I see it. Is the question of does it actually stop what it says it does. Christians themselves hold the moral double standard of “but it’s not about works”. They tweak their interpretation of everything to make whatever they were going to do anyway acceptable. Just look at what they justify now. Supporting genocides, oppressing others.

I don’t know… I will admit the reason he’s fair game and relevant is because he has gone on campaign tours with el sayed and gotten interviews with other DSA candidates. I’d say he’s not relevant to the democrats as a whole, but individuals who bring him to campaign events… are liable in the same way that any republican candidate that invites Kanye or Fuentes is accepting some baggage from them.

That being said, I’d also point out Pikers baggage is just plain stupidly overblown as well. The guy streams for like 8 hours a day. The main “ammunition” against him, is one statement he made 8 years ago along the lines of “America deserved 9/11”. which he admitted he admitted was more of a misphrasing, and meant it as “america is responsible for the conditions that made 9/11 an inevitability”.

You should know, that they’ve always found a way for just about everything to fill revelations prophesies. most politicians etc…

honeslty trump is the one that seemed to have the most elaborate ties. Multiple ways to tie him to the “seemingly dead but reviving” of the antichrist (assasination attempt, loss in 2020, etc…).

Either way though point still remains. From what I gather the most historically plausible interpretation is it was intended to be referencing nero ceasar, particularly because the number changing between 616 and 666 based on the translation.

At the end of the day, when you are working backwards, you’ll always find a way to make the pieces fit. Which make all of it a complete waste of time. If you want to find a way to make it hitler, or obama, or AI, or climate change, or spongebob squarepants… and you’ve got the time, you’ll find a way to make it work.

Reminds me a bit of when I used to DM, My players used to think I was like an M Night shamalan of DMing because I’d drop some really cryptic prophesies and hints at the begining, and in spite of past me being more of a seat of the pants DM that let them take the plot in whatever direction they felt like going. Those cryptic prophesies always paid off at the end… how did I do it? Easy I just randomly made up complete gyberish for the prophesies with zero plan for what I wanted to do with them… took note of what they were, when I felt like we were near a climax of something, I either made very slight changes to what was currently going on to make it fit, or just had an NPC phrase something in a way that made the players think of the gyberish from before and let them write connections for me.

If you have the executable from a trusted source, then you don’t need to spend your time determining if a version you got from an unsafe location is legitimate, you’d just make a copy of the trusted original and throw out the bootleg to be safe.

There’s a number of downsides with the AI systems, that IMO are features for the ones involved with AI development. Say hardware costs putting gaming and high end computer hardware out of our pricing hands.

Amazon, Microsoft and google, all have the desire to move you to cloud computers, Think of it, instead of owning a computer, you can rent access to your computers and storage, prices can be raised over time once you are locked in. All of them have been sticking their toes in this idea for decades, heck Amazon and Google both tried and failed to make streaming consoles. The only problem, people like owning hardware, and they can’t really compete on price against actual owned hardware. But… if they can’t bring their price down, maybe they can bring the price of owned hardware up until the equation shifts.

Sadly I feel like that’s the ultimate pivot point as well, if AI never turns profitable at least not at the scale they are building, they’ll keep the data centers going under this pivot, and everyone else going all in has their own motives to love the pivot. If the movie and music industry can’t profitably get rid of troublesome writers and actors demanding better treatment. Imagine how much easier policing piracy will be when your hardware is all in the hands of trusted large corporations with media investments. Totalitarian governments will love it even more, on top of whatever survives of AI being able to run flock cameras etc… Microsoft and Amazon will happily give them back doors to everyones computers.

But don’t worry, I’m sure china’s going to ramp up chip production to counter the hardware prices. No way that can be countered by either extreme tarrifs, or just outright laws banning their use in the states like they’ve done with Huweii devices or BYD cars.

So yeah I also agree, slop and misinformation intentionally burrying legitimate sources is just one of many things that we all see as a “bug”, that probably are real “features” to the Epstein class.

I do wonder if in this example the party actually detected the intended propoganda, versus if they just were in a campaign doing what they thought good characters would do in a situation. If not it’s so much more telling, as the best way to tell if you are standing on principles or just biased propoganda, is if you would make the same judgments if the names were hidden or even reversed. Even more ironic because obviously the DM controls the facts of the fictional world. Literally likely to not know or leave out details that hurt his case.

not familiar with that program, but maybe something like https://ss64.com/mac/opensnoop.html , can tell you what it’s looking for, (IE it most likely installs some kind of watermark somewhere inobvious on your computer. If not though, I’d do some simple google searching for pencil+ crack.

Yeah, I’d say for the same reason that big enough folders can take several minutes to hours to actually give you their sizes.

Because you really feel like spiderman… said one review from like one of the first to do the web travel mechanics in a pretty fun way… and when every spider man game basically copy pasted the same mechanics into a barely changed method, rather than criticizing it for being a copy paste of their last game with updated graphics, reviewers decided they could instead copy paste their reviews with slightly updated phrasing.

Obviously country may vary, also, legality of the porn in question.

Typically ISPs don’t police activity themselves. IP Owners may hire people to monitor torrents send them a list all the IPs seeding, then they send a notice to the ISP that owns your IP address. Then your ISP will send you a “please stop, if you are caught 2 more times we’re canceling your service” letter.

Of course, if you are downloading CSAM or something, then law enforcement may do any number of responses.

That’s also the problem though, question is where do we put the controls, lets say on the meeting callendar. The obvious is we do it like humans, we have a calendar program, and the AI program is like a human. We set it’s permissions based what it needs at the calendar level. If it has read only access for instance, it won’t accomplish the goal of “summarize everything I need to do in 2 sentances”, by deleting everything your calendar except for 2 items that it can summarize. except the problem is, the AI has more information than it needs to have, IE it’s got leaked security bullitans that the calendar program you are using has a privilage escalation, or it guesses the IT guys admin passwords, etc…

The only real workaround is, more narrowly trained AIs. instead of trying to make every model know every field. they should really be training 100’s different models into specialties. Fact is the customer service AI’s shouldn’t know how to write python scripts period. and honestly that’s probably the biggest thing that makes them bad at their jobs, and waste so much power and resources to do simple tasks. The idea of “one super AI” is IMO the core stupidest part of the AI rush.

Any reasonable person knows we are lying pieces of shit. The fact that you do business with us just shows you are stupid.

and the sad thing is… it’s really getting to that point in life. advertising claims are just so normally bullshit. anything said by a company, a politician, or anything, is unreasonable to believe.

At this rate people will be pushing for no fault divorces after they are caught cheating because… my spouse should have known I didn’t mean any of my vows, any reasonable person would have known I was a monster before the wedding.

I’m kind of torn on it, because the investors etc… are too, batshit stupid for me to make any sense. On one hand at the surface it seems like that should be the criteria of embarassment. IE we can’t control our AI, the old fictional AI concept of the paperclip problem is coming true (was an old thought experiment of an AI told to make as many paperclips as possible, and eventually it starts stealing resources and in the end just starts making paperclips out of people).

Logically talking about this SHOULD be really stupid, these should be negative, yet somehow investors, governments etc… are seeing “this technology is dangerous, we have to be the first to master it at all costs!”, which since that seems to be the case it does make sense to lie about it.

overall not that much to have it in basic usage. it has the google play store, and you can just install kodi straight out of it and run it (then follow any guides on using things like umbrella etc… onto kodi), maybe add in something like projectivity to get a no crap startup page.

pretty much any app you use for shady stuff, is pretty out of box available, it’s more or less stock android so, jellyfin, plex etc… all have out of box apps, and you can always install a file manager or web browser and get what you want otherwise.

Honestly my onn gadget probably is one of the nicest for the price box to run kodi on.
