Is there an outfitter like REI in your city? They often have classes and clubs as well. You could also try something new. Maybe since you like video games, give board or tabletop games a try and go to a local game shop for a game night.

Join a hiking group/club, and don’t do it with the express intent of dating. I’m not saying don’t hope, but don’t because you enjoy the activity

$150k is not necessarily a lot of money in a lot of cities. The article just mentions New York, but typically that would not be enough to buy in most areas even close to NYC

Yeah, that is the worst thing about modern cars. They just produced their first fully drivable prototype, so I am cautiously optimistic.

The things in that video aren’t even a new idea, much less an innovative way to do it. People have been mixing animals for decades.

Sad to see the fall of ILM

Telo truck looks promising and has some ex original Tesla talent.

Don’t hold dystopian societies to utopian standards. Yes copyright sucks, and if it was gone things might be better. But also if it was gone corpos might just run more wild than they do now.

That is such a dishonest take. Per the article

"For example, last year California passed a law that requires health care providers to disclose when they have used generative AI to communicate clinical information to patients. In 2021, New York passed the first law in the United States requiring employers to conduct bias audits of AI tools used for employment decisions. California also passed a law that will go into effect in 2026 which requires developers of generative AI models to share detailed documentation on its websites about the data it used to develop these models, an extremely consequential law as AI companies are currently hiding their exploitation of copyrighted materials in order to create these models, as we have shown repeatedly. "

It doesn’t mention it, but it would also prevent any environmental regulation around the data center that guzzle water and consume electricity like disinformation black holes.

Its not about personal use, it is about regulating corpos

This is for color laser printers only, and is not a legal requirement as far as I can tell. Manufacturers were urged by the US government to add it, but it is not a written law.

It shut down last year, but it was also run by Mail.ru. Probably not something you want anywhere near your devices

Oh, for sure, consuming outside the system that fuels that shit is probably the least harmful. And good to know about the Paramount DEI BS.

The key difference is that McAffrey and Roddenberry are both dead, and see no benefit from you tuning in to Star Trek or reading a Pern book (though I might suggest Eathsea instead). Supporting paramount is probably not great, but i do not know of any direct harm they are doing. Rowling directly benefits from purchasing Potter media, so purchasing supports transphobia.

Yeah, not a fan of the slogan, but at least the profits from the sale are going to Trans Lifeline

I don’t think that word means what you think it means.

Nobody here is saying Chinese authoritarianism is good, they are mostly pointing out that this op-ed is really, really bad and does not understand the technology, or pointing out that your post history/quality borders on racism. That doesn’t mean they are pro-authoritarianism, it just means they are pro well researched, quality posts and are already tired of the anti-China spam thanks to past accounts doing the same thing

Apologies if I come off as upset, I am not. I don’t feel I was even a target of those comments. I was just pointing out that some of those folks might have come out swinging due to the perceived tone of the original comment, and calling other people names does not help that situation. My real hope was that they would be a little more careful with their words since tone hard to convey in text, and using words associated with people that more often then not are not acting in good faith can convey either aggressiveness or just outright trolling

Use of the word “trigger” is the key part here. It is most often used by right wingers just trying to piss people off (“triggering the libs”). Starting off with that and then commenting on how people are “sanctimonious” for expressing valid opinions are what tell me you were less than open to an actual conversation. It has nothing to do do with the post itself (though I tend to agree she really doesn’t say anything of value) and more to do with how you are going about interacting with people like a right wing troll. Hell even in this comment you end with a common right wing dismissive phrase (virtue signalling) that, again, tells other people you don’t want a conversation

Now look at the comments in here, a bunch of sanctimonious people with too much appreciation for their own thoughts and a lack of any semblance of basic behaviour.

Is there a word for a sentence that does the same thing it describes?

There is no reason to denigrate people because they don’t agree with you or don’t like the nature of LLMs/generative algorithms. It really feels like you came looking for a fight (“I know the title will trigger people”) and trying to dismiss folks that point out this does not fix the fundamental problems with LLMs

Or Sceptre if you want a non-smart TV.

You mean Boeing’s screw up. They were the designer/manufacturer of the capsule that had issues. Plus Musk has very little if anything to do with SpaceX engineering or operations (Gwynn Shotwell is in charge of operations). Mostly he just does “Funny” shit like telling engineers to make Starship more pointy.

Other car manufacturers update their cars all the time. Some OTA, some you have to take in to the service center, but that does not mean they don’t do it. The easy to steal Kias is an example of a recent recall that just required a SW update via service center. My ID.4 just got an OTA update last week. Tesla is showing negligence for not updating a service that is still in a lot of vehicles but they don’t actively sell anymore.
