the server rack won't knock up a seventeen year old and get charged with statutory because it bragged about it within ear shot of an officer

see? this is why we need AGI. war is too important to leave up to grunts. I mean look at them!

ah so I guess that's it for getting to use Claude in New York ;_;

In this framework, if the LLM either during the chat or on the website says "do not use this in place of a lawyer/doctor. medical and legal questions should be made to licensed professionals" does that cover the company's bases?

oh that's interesting. but it also feels like not really what people pushing for these laws want. I assumed this was a blanket "don't give out opinions" style ban.

Because 95% of my phone calls are with my wife, the instinct to end the other 5% with "love you, bye" is very strong

At the funeral of Rev. Jesse Jackson. Rep. Jones and I walk in his footsteps. Our story isn’t possible without the work, advocacy, Organizing, and struggle of Rev. Jackson. Rest in power.

I thought we wanted a complete halt to data centers?

you coulda just said yes.

it's amazing how, whenever you read one of these "AI failed!" stories it's always "Human made bad decision the AI had flagged before being overruled."

This story is pretty incredible. But it shows how many people find social utility in the "I am forced to use AI" and "AI is stupid" Nexus. This is, for some folks, a load bearing pair of narratives that can save their job by masking their decision making.

Everyone *says* they want beautiful clothing that is made to last in factories that where workers make a living wage; but vanishingly few people are willing to actually pay for this stuff.

Private equity didn’t kill Toys R Us, Amazon did.

I am getting very tired of people blaming “private equity” for changing consumer behavior.

Private equity didn’t degrade the quality of the clothes you buy, ultra fast fashion and online shopping where you sort by low price, then buy clothes without ever actually touching them did that.

i'm about as left-wing as they come and i am telling you, there is something seriously wrong with the information environment and personalities on this website. especially around public health

I hope that this whole debacle serves as a reminder that geography is real and has implications about military attacks.

it took the left all of a month to write off Mamdani as a zionist apologist. so good luck with that.

wait, how exactly do you get a more left wing, less "monarchial" America if all the political leaders opposed to unitary executive theory are dead?

this stupid polymarket clickbait is based on a 3-week old podcast interview Anthropic's CEO did with the NYT in which all he said was that 1) they don't know whether their models are conscious or not, 2) they don't even know what that would look like, and 3) they're at least open to the possibility

well that's just straightforwardly wrong. These communities arose in proud defiance of PC culture and liberalism. Leftists were pretty big on them up until the last days of Trump 1. r/stupidpol even arose as a deliberate left wing mirror of pc-free rightwing spaces

I don't think I am. I think I'm just pointing out the situations in which those underlying causes lead to cancerous growths.

Incels weren't hung out to try by modern capitalism. They created communities where "new fags" meant 'new guys' and a misclick could expose you to gore or worse. So of course, people wanted to avoid them and all their worst tendencies were encouraged

Nah, Fukuyama nailed it. If proto-incels had had actual worries, they wouldn't have cooked their brains on 4chan forums and turned into... all this. "isolation" and "male loneliness" are just attempts to impose a less accusatory framework on it.

man, we really are just trying to write liberals out of history all together. Was the Declaration of Independence also secretly drafted by a socialists? What about the Emancipation Proclamation? I'm guessing that every abolitionist was also secretly a socialist?

I mean, you're right that NATO has prevented the dying of reactionaries. Really good chance Poland and Russia would be at blows right now if not for NATO.

Definitely what I said.

I..uh ...did not say this.

yeah that's what happened. The USSR had no role in things at all!

On a larger timescale, I think liberalism did make things better. A lot better. I don't think we get the modern far right if the world wasn't so much better that idle men had to invent dragons to slay

Oh I'm mostly referring to right now. At least here in the US, liberals lost the house, senate, presidency and supreme court. So we're locked out of power.

Tim Onion is one of the dumbest people on this site.
