- Comment on liquor is fine though, its the carbonation they worry about 2 weeks ago:
Ah yes. And Twisted Teas are or can be, “hard” (containing alcohol, much like “hard alcohol”).
- Comment on Bluetooth tracker hidden in a postcard and mailed to a warship exposed its location — $5 gadget put a $585 million Dutch ship at risk for 24 hours 3 weeks ago:
Yes!
An diplomats/CEOs using Teslas!
- Optical cameras are mandated at Musk’s insistence, despite lidar being better.
- Built in cell modem for “over the air updates”.
- Massive processing onboard for “interpreting the cameras”.
- Microphones and cameras inside to “ensure the driver is paying attention”.
- Big ass batteries for driving and keeping sky kit running.
- Get the targets to pay for the spy gear themselves.
- Comment on She only wanted the ring bros 3 weeks ago:
An issue with post-interstate USA is the ability to move away from family for education and work, also fragmented the extended family. Managing life, everything and a under-6 month old infant takes way more than two people. (Day care in many areas will accept an infant at 6 weeks, which while huge, is also problematic.)
I expect the only solution is get rich and help your kids with the grand kids. (UBI!)
None of this is an excuse to fuck off and not help. It is pathetic when men say “and I never changed a diaper”. Hardly a parent at all at that point.

Sneaky plan by “Big Moon Globes and Images”. All of the old globes, posters, and shirts have to be replaced, as we cannot learn with in-accurate images of the Moon. Three Wolves cannot howl at old images of the Moon!

Maybe the load was already stabilized, even at that angle, and the photo is just for show?
It is important to not do that.
- Comment on LLMs can unmask pseudonymous users at scale with surprising accuracy 2 months ago:
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]

- Comment on Amazon blames human employees for an AI coding agent’s mistake | Two minor AWS outages have reportedly occurred as a result of actions by Amazon’s AI tools 2 months ago:
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).
- Comment on Annon punches a Nazi 2 months ago:
“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. - Comment on Easier or Harder | Litterbox Comics 2 months ago:
It definitely gets different. Easier or harder kind of depends.
- Comment on Many parents cab probably relate 3 months 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)

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

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 3 months 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 🧓 3 months 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 🧓 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months 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. - Comment on Black Friday is coming 5 months ago:

- Comment on World would be a better place 6 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 6 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 6 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.

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 6 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 6 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…
