Read that as peloton and was incredibly confused

Why are you referring to yourself in the third person?

Are you sure you’ve put in your actual waist measurement and not your hips? The ‘waist’ on most pants nowadays sits at or below the hip line and is therefore gonna be fairly wider than your waist. If you look up a graphic it should make sense

Alternatively, UV light and a some heat should do it pretty quick!! Radical reactions are dope like that

Why in God’s name would we put weapons that pose a legitimate threat to the whole of humanity under the control of an ai? I just don’t think this one sounds plausible.

I recommend this thread btw https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistory/comments/18ydzok/has_the_term_dark_ages_truly_become_an_obsolete/

Nothing to do with the rest of your comment.

I mean shit we’ve been having this under a different name (Boy Scouts) brought to us by the British and the US for the past 100+ years.

Scouting today is obviously a lot different than back then (literally a training program for the british scouts section of the armed forces), but still an astounding number of scouts from the US and UK go into military service as a result.

And I’m an eagle scout so I seen this shit from the inside.

See rest of comment

If you legitimately believe this then you are a clown. Terminator came out in what year again? Lmaoooo

Edit with citation:

“As AI researchers in the 1960s and 1970s began to use computers to recognize images, translate between languages, and understand instructions in normal language and not just code, the idea that computers would eventually develop the ability to speak and think—and thus to do evil—bubbled into mainstream culture.”

It even has its own Wikipedia article! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existential_risk_from_artificial_general_intelligence

Are you suggesting that architectural styles are not based on interactions with different peoples and that the type of architecture, for example, from 200-500CE is not going to vary greatly in different regions such as East Asia and Europe? And that those peoples with individual cultures and ideas about architecture won’t ever interact with their neighbors, creating cross-cultural styles? That these cultures will never interact and reach a quorum on specific styles of buildings, especially when brought together through larger institutions such as religion?

From a content creator’s standpoint, sure. The issue is that when the end user doesn’t have a shiny new thing they’re interested in in front of them every 30 or so seconds they just log off and stop using the service. Why use mastodon if bluesky/threads/whatever shows them, generally, more of what they want to see and less of what they don’t?

Most people are using social media as a way to veg out and unwind these days. They don’t really care if somebody is able to game the system, just that they see more that lets them veg out (or alternatively makes them angry, driving increased engagement).

I agree that this is generally bad, but trying to sidestep it completely like Mastodon is is just going to result in a network that never hits the critical mass necessary to start exponential growth.

There’s also just the issue of the fact that there’s significantly more books, articles, etc. written in standard english vs AAVE so that’s gonna be a huuuge barrier to overcome regardless of diversity of development and training teams. Not to say diversity isn’t important, but also that there’s just certain challenges surrounding finding adequate amounts of high quality training data, especially for less mainstream concepts. It’s the same reason an AI couldn’t give a summary of a book that has almost no info abt it on the internet.

Bought with… US Aid given year over year regardless of this latest spark in the flashpowder.

Pre-October we were still giving them billions per year on the condition that they spend the money on US weapons companies.

It’s all just military industrial complex?

Always has been

There are some parallels but overall this is a vast oversimplification. However, I’d like to hear your case.

Uhh you might want to provide a link for that bc their 2017 policy document says very, very differently.

That’s an insult to 6th graders
