  Any services that can help with this?

  Either on the “Your made mate!” or a “here let’s make this more anonymous”?

  An unrelated bit cool about clay from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clay_mineral.

  Given the requirement of water, clay minerals are relatively rare in the Solar System, though they occur extensively on Earth where water has interacted with other minerals and organic matter. Clay minerals have been detected at several locations on Mars,[15] including Echus Chasma, Mawrth Vallis, the Memnonia quadrangle and the Elysium quadrangle. Spectrography has confirmed their presence on celestial bodies including the dwarf planet Ceres,[16] asteroid 101955 Bennu,[17] and comet Tempel 1,[18] as well as Jupiter’s moon Europa.[19]

  This is why nudist colonies are so vibrant. Easy as.

  Yay! Extra mental load of having to ask the AI “correctly” and then keep up one’s skills to be able to review the AI’s work! Extra bonus for being blamed for letting anything slip past.

  At least the junior that fucked up will learn something from the experience and can buy a round of beers (if the junior is paid well enough, otherwise the seniors have to buy the junior a beer while talking it out).

  “Sign Kid” is trying to run a Paradox of Tolerance.
  “Punching Kid” is right on. Though one should not do such things at school, nor on camera.
  I have the feeling “Sign Kid” is going to change schools soon.

  It definitely gets different. Easier or harder kind of depends.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Many parents cab probably relate⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If college is just a certificate needed to get the good jobs, then this makes a lot of sense.
  If college is there for learning, then it is terrible.

  I bet there is a difference in the ratios between degrees on these. (i.e. Civil Engineering versus Marketing)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Many parents cab probably relate⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why your Dad and/or Mom couldn’t get laid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon goes to therapy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  OP needs a new therapist using a different therapy style. Keep trying folks. (I have my favorites, but so does everyone.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT wrote “Goodnight Moon” suicide lullaby for man who later killed himself⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Social media, like Facebook, use humans (largely in poor countries, which has its own issues).

  It should be simple to for the AI to flag problematic conversations for human review. In the linked case, OpenAI would have had months to notice and act.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solid Plan 🧓⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. Even if the government of the USA does nothing, there will be negative impacts. The population that survives may migrate north or south. Warlords will strike out for new territories. Anything still created or grown in the USA will no longer be. Billionaires will flee to the nicer parts of the world to repeat the process. Wealth in the American stock markets will do something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solid Plan 🧓⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Your family will end up doing most of the cleaning. Your landlord will hire low wage people to do any remaining.
  Please reconsider.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT wrote “Goodnight Moon” suicide lullaby for man who later killed himself⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Opens? OpenAI spent years doing exactly that. Though, apparently they almost three years ago.

  maginative.com/…/openai-clarifies-its-data-privac…

  Previously, data submitted through the API before March 1, 2023 could have been incorporated into model training. This is no longer the case since OpenAI implemented stricter data privacy policies.

  Inputs and outputs to OpenAI’s API (directly via API call or via Playground) for model inference do not become part of the training data unless you explicitly opt in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT wrote “Goodnight Moon” suicide lullaby for man who later killed himself⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks to Ars for including the lullaby. It is incredibly bleak.

  Just to draw it out a little more.
  A company intentionally made a product that is more than capable of killing its users. The company monitors the communications, and decides to not intervene. (Beats me how closely communications are monitored, but the company can and does close accounts as told in other articles.)
  This communication went on for months or years. The company had more than enough time to act.
  Sam Altman is a bad person for choosing not to.

  Any statistics for people like this being mugged?

  I likely ordered it. So thank the waiter and start eating.

  I can read a menu.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨World would be a better place⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Given the number of people that think the Sun orbits the Earth and that the Moon is never out in the day time, this would be a good idea. It doesn’t even need to be deep. Just random science facts.

  As an aside, I want to buy a billboard in town and post science facts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨coping⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Anything than to have to fix my life.

  I don’t shower as I don’t want the females to think I am gay. I don’t read, study, or try so I am not a nerd. I work a deadend job to prove I am “self made”. I avoid the “roids”, the gym, and exercising, which saves me so much time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I cannot read the article, but this seems like a non-issue.

  Loads of old Wikipedia pages are essentially complete. Just freeze them.

  And didn’t the Wikipedia foundation have years worth of funding already? And wouldn’t fewer visitors imply less need for server and bandwidth?

  Current events need editors, and those will have controversy. I expect primary news sources would be better for anything less than a week old.

  A Wikipedia that freezes at 2024 would still be of great value.

  Clearly, I am missing the problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Taxes and nature⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Whoa Whoa.

  The story of Noah’s Ark is not about saving animals. It is about surviving a calamity that one saw coming, AND NOT saving more of humanity. This way one and their children can become insanely wealthy, and nearly the only humans.

  When one needed an elephant, where did they go? To Noah. Need a chicken? Noah! Need help due to your house washing away, killing you and your family? That’s right, Noah!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Employees regularly paste company secrets into ChatGPT⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I fully expect OpenAI and the others are already doing this. And this is why the USA wants to keep China from developing better AI. Not for better AI, but to keep spying on corporate secrets within the USA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Employees regularly paste company secrets into ChatGPT⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I did those as well. That and not using personal equipment.

  Then at one company, we could use personal equipment. And accepting gifts was suddenly okay. And their training did NOT say I could not buy potential clients sex workers.

  I never had the opportunity to clarify with HR…

  For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

  “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

  “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

  Or this is incentive to simplify the devices sent to the US with the complex calculations taking place out of country. Fewer imported chips, more monthly subscriptions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who got raptured today?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They all are disqualified for praying in public. Shouldn’t have done that.

  Also, presuming to tell God what is what, and vanity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who got raptured today?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  With a hard cap of 144,000 in Heaven, the rapture happened already.

  Yes. Though gullible people are often stupid. Skeptical people are not necessarily smart, but have learned to not believe everything said to them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone else notice this??⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The roofs were hot. I expect ground level in the shade of the house would be better for efficiency.

  Perhaps it had something to do with the location of the indoor unit? I am used to them in the basement or first floor, but some places put them in the ceiling.
