Not exactly.

For context, a bill only needs one sponsor. Most bills have about 2 or 3 cosponsors. Signing a bill as a cosponsor is not the same as voting, which hasn’t happened yet.

Yes, thank goodness we saved Gaza by keeping those dems out of office.

Do you get that literally has nothing to do with what we are talking about here?

People don’t read them but I think that’s not usually the point. The people I know who have written them usually end up with boxes in their garage that they eventually give at to friends and family.

It’s still a nice accomplishment and a good personal growth thing.

Keep protesting for the people of Iran. Keep pressure on Western governments to act and support the Persian people. The Iranian people never wanted to live under a fundamentalist terror state.

Economic isolation against every individual official and commander killing their own people is the most important tool we have.

Keep the information channels open at all costs.

Just to be clear, companies know that LLMs are categorically bad at giving life advice/ emotional guidance. They also know that personal decision making is the most common use of the software. They could easily have guardrails in place to prevent it from doing that.

They will never do that.

This is by design. They want people to develop pseudo-emotional bonds with the software, and to trust the judgment in matters of life guidance. In the next year or so, some LLM projects will become profitable for the first time as advertisers flock to the platforms. Injecting ads into conversations with a trusted confidant is the goal. Incluencing human behaviour is the goal.

By 2028, we will be reading about “ChatGPT told teen to drink Pepsi until she went into a sugar coma.”

The headline also does not say the same thing that the post claims!

Headline: “15% of content” --> every 6th or 7th post or comment is a corporate troll

Article: “15% of subreddits contain” --> the vast majority of subreddits contain no troll content

Actual study: [file not found]

I also cannot find any Pew research study resembling the one described. The link is a 2017 report that doesn’t mention reddit.

Just weird to say “I don’t trust reporting from a state-influenced source. I’ll wait until I hear reporting from media owned by a different state with an even more vested interest.”

Al jazeera is literally the Qatari state media.

Unpopular opinion: I have a second phone logged into my kid’s YT account. I train the algorithm while he’s sleeping.

It takes a significant time, and YouTube doesn’t have good options for blocking content, but it helps keep out the worst of the brainrot.

Hi, mod here.

In the future, please avoid sharing links from news aggregators. Sharing from the original source helps community health by providing transparency, and allows others to avoid reposting the same article.

I keep adding oils of varying viscosities but it doesn’t seem to help.

Hi, Mod here:

The community rules don’t allow posting complete article text. Please edit this post to one or two key paragraphs to avoid removal.

These rules help keep our community safe, legal, and usable for everyone.

I can’t attest to any as I don’t use PDFs this way, but here are a few links:

All of these are self-hostable and FOSS. I’m not sure about NextCloud integration.

And a lot of people graduate at 30. Or 60. Life experience and more readiness than you would have had 2 years ago is not a drawback - it’s a benefit.

Yeah, it’s better if you can have the computer on all the time, but it only needs to be running when you access it.

I’m not that familiar with FreshRSS, but in general apps will only update at opening (not in the background) for most syncing operations. You may have to do more manual syncing than you would like.

Water is weirdly one of the only materials that is lighter (less dense) in its solid form. That’s why ice cubes float.

When a mass expands, it ALWAYS becomes less dense.

Water does not “trap” air molecules as is freezes, although water may contain dissolved gasses.

Torah teaches that God created human beings with both good and evil impulses. Human beings uniquely have knowledge of our drives and impulses and can learn to master them. The same needs that drive us to consume can lead us to overconsume or do so unethically. Our animal drive for safety and security can also lead us to attack perceived threats.

According to this philosophy, evil comes from people misdirecting divinely given attributes.

The idea of good and evil as absolute “powers” independent of human choices is foreign to many philosophies and theologies.

I think it’s fair to say not all AI is AI slop.

This is a user, not a community. They are downvoting across communities, including stalking people across communities to downvote all of their posts and comments, following communities just to downvote every post and comment, etc.

They downvote over 99% of the posts they see. Why seek out content you don’t like? It’s mildly infuriating. To me at least.
