That’s because OpenAI is in panic mode. They’re now spending their resources on making the LLM cheaper to operate and capable of injecting paid results.

Look into mutual insurance. You actually get back money for the payouts they didn’t have to do that year. Northwestern, Amica, USAA, etc.

Oh i thought it was from CCCP commisar goons ordering a column of type 59s to drive over civilians in 89

Well this guy really doubled down on that thought

The orgs publishing this junk are pushing the writers to use AI. So the writers and editors can’t shit talk AI because their boss will get upset.

I bet we would start to see chinese adapters showing up on the market with DisplayPort to HDMI2.1 though.

It’s $1.2M to gain majority share on the HDMI board, but it sure would be nice if someone gave $1.2M to one of the engineers with access to that cryptographic DRM keys for the binary to “apparently get hacked” and have the keys magically appear online.

“I don’t use social media, and I don’t have an email.”

Well my approach is:

• Mark off every candidate who did not bother to provide a statement
• Mark off every candidate with no listed volunteering experience in the little section for it
• Mark off every candidate whose statement claims they will do things their desired office is not empowered to do
• Mark off every candidate with a platform that doesn’t claim to be aiming for any kind of change or improvement in particular. (I don’t support chair warmers.)
• Mark off every candidate whose email is a personal one listed as itsyaboymrthiccpenis@yahoo.com or something else similarly unprofessional
• Mark off any candidate aligned with the party that supported the coup attempt in 2021

After this quick pass, which only takes a couple of minutes, I’m typically only left with two or three offices with more than one remaining choice to compare. I then read their platform and pick the candidate with the platform goal that seems most relevant to my or my community’s interest.

If all you do is read the little statements booklet they send out, and then do the mail vote based on that, then AI is not in the loop unless the candidate is dumb enough to paste chatbot output into their statement.

Seriously people, get your friends and family off of the ragebait rectangle. Most “news” media today is just opinion wrapped with ads about content they bought from Reuters and AP.

I don’t see anything political anywhere these days from adding filters and blocks over the past year or two. Whenever I very rarely do, I just block the user or community in Boost, or add another keyword filter to get rid of more spam. Similarly for regular feeds like my phone’s builtin Google News, I started marking them as “Don’t Show Content From [Source]”.

If enough people do this, perhaps publishers will learn that spamming people with misleading ragebait is a losing strategy. Probably not, though.

Money is a transferrable form of debt, and debt is emotion. You do something for someone or give someone something. They are then “indebted” to you. Or the reverse - you’ve been issued a fine, meaning some of the “debt” others owed to you for something valuable is now void because you did something interpreted negatively.

The physical money symbolizes the feeling of indebtedness, and standard currencies allow people to recognize one anothers’ debts as something commonly valuable and transferrable for symbolizing new debts.

It sounds kind of like karma, but because money is just symbolic for debt and not actually the real manifestation of the emotions associated with the causes of the indebtedness, having a lot of money, or vice-versa, doesn’t translate to a karmic judgment of a person. Someone can trick their way into making others feel indebted to them, at least at the point in time of the emotion to money exchange. Or, they can literally steal the “debt markers” that others accrued. Or, one can decide that one kind of debt is not worth as much as another kind of debt - foreign exchange rates, employment wages, etc mediate this mostly in the sense that human time is not valued identically depending on where a person lives or who they are.

And you can be “wealthy” without money, as long as enough people feel indebted to you and you can “exchange” that indebtedness for the things you want. The money is just for easy debt accounting and transfer.

“Some guy I know”

You think the Palantir CEO has a soul? You gaze into that orb once and it’s game over

I never have, never needed to, never will. I’ve stripped a couple over the years but they come in boxes of like 100 and I just take it out with a bigger phillips head and use a different one.

I don’t understand how this is so prevalent. Can a prisoner refuse, or just stand there without working? It’s not like the twenty cents an hour or whatever they get is going to make their time much better. Or if their sentences get reduced for arbitrary menial work, that seems like a robbery of justice to victims. Is working in a sweatshop sort of deal so much better than reading books in a prison cell?

The stud finder sucks, those give false positives for electrical all the time. You’re probably fine if the wall isn’t riddled with outlets, switches, or has a breaker panel.

If you’re really concerned, drill through only until you’re past the drywall. It’s only about a half to five eighths of an inch thick. Wrap a little piece of tape around your drill bit as a depth gauge. Alternatively, there are drywall anchors that look like fat plastic white screws that don’t require a pilot hole. You can get those and avoid drilling entirely.
