Oh, I bet that would taste good in a nutshell.

Oh, I get it! You still want 2fa, you just don’t want the code to be shown! colors the text white

My cat knows about nuclear war. He simply hasn’t chosen to exercise the knowledge.

“It’s very important we write down every last thing we plan to do.”

“But we’re not actually going to do any of them, are we?”

“Oh, no, of course not. Why would we?”

Ah, they seem to communicate by vomiting and bleeding from their skin. Interesting…

Oh, you are correct. Miss USA is where he did the peeping, and it’s 2013’s Miss Universe where a Russian oligarch paid Trump 20 million dollars to bring the pageant to Moscow. And then that oligarch’s son connected the Trump campaign with a Russian lawyer in 2016 to get dirt on Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

It’s hard to keep track of all the debauchery.

Yep, the problem would be worse because he would be a martyr and out of the news enough that his crimes would fade away into history. And a different fascist would lead that group. At least this way, there is some chance a few more people will finally understand he is a lying thieving scumbag pedophile rapist with no intention of ever helping anyone other than himself.

What world do we live in?

To recap, Trump and Epstein were friends while Epstein was selling child sex to rich people. Trump is implicated in a plethora of ways, including that creepy ass birthday card and Epstein having Trump’s name circled in his little black book, alongside everyone else who has been confirmed to have involvement in the sex ring.

Meanwhile, Trump is hosting teen beauty pageants in Russia where he peeped on underage girls changing and later bragged about it. And of course, we know Trump started to sour on Epstein when Epstein “stole” an underage masseuse from Mar a Lago to turn her into a prostitute. And Trump knew this but was more upset about the stealing part than the underage prostitution part.

And Epstein soured on Trump when he told Trump he was buying a mansion in Florida and Trump outbid him using money provided by a Russian oligarch for… reasons. And Epstein threatens to out Trump for his Russia connection, so Trump then drops the dime on Epstein and gets him arrested for soliciting prostitution from a minor. But Epstein “somehow” gets a sweetheart deal where he only serves 13 months in jail and is allowed out during the day on… what was that phrase? Oh yeah.

Work release.

Good thing Epstein got that deal from… Alex Acosta? Why does that name seem familiar? Oh yeah, because when Trump became president, he randomly appointed Alex Acosta to be Labor Secretary, for… reasons.

Similar to how after Trump sent Pam Bondi’s re-election campaign for Florida attorney general $25,000 just randomly right around the time her office decided not to investigate Trump University for fraud. And now, Trump has appointed Pam Bondi as attorney general of the United States because… I’m sure there must be a good reason.

And now of course, after Ghislaine Maxwell met with Trump’s deputy attorney general Todd Blanche, she’s moved to low security, and she’s going to be allowed out on… huh. Work release. Well, isn’t that an odd turn of events?

How does the general public so severely lack the critical thinking skills to put this together? For the record, that question is rhetorical. I know the answer. I’m just sad about it.

In my opinion, being anti-AI or anti-LLM is much like being anti-chocolate. There are many good reasons to be anti-chocolate. It is very difficult to verify that a chocolate supply line does not include slave labor or child labor. I only know of one brand that even comes close. And the deforestation caused by farming can and does lead to climate change. Not to mention the addictive qualities and health effects of eating sugary candy.

It seems mostly bad and when you look at the numbers, I think we should all be against it. And yet, making these arguments tends to do very little to make people stop eating chocolate.

Yet, I could imagine a world where it’s farmed sustainably, by people who are paid appropriately, and with proper guidance on nutrition and exercise, it could be consumed safely.

I have no problem with people saying they are anti-AI. But I’d just like to pause here to confirm whether maybe anti-AI is just our shorthand for anti-the-way-AI-is-right-now. Anti-the-companies-that-run-AI. I do not want noisy server farms taking up all the water of rural communities. I don’t want all of our electricity to go towards LLMs that are already “intelligent” enough to tell us that the best most immediate way to prevent further climate change is to turn them off.

I’m not making this comment to promote one side or another. I’m just suggesting that we act strategically and try to be mindful about how polarization can appear from the outside. Being anti-AI likely persuades about as many people as being anti-chocolate. That is, very few. But if we could work towards more ethical AI, even if we don’t plan to use it, just so our argument is more palatable to the masses, it could lower the use of AI overall.

So, I think it is worthwhile to get into the technical details of things like LLMs even if most of us here are fighting against such technologies. Just trying to add some nuance to a world that often feels way too polarized for me.

But if they evolved to be right triangles with their sides marked by three dots, four dots, and five dots, then the message will be spot on.

Fog corn leg corn!

Gets hated on just because it’s complex. You and I are the same, Military Industrial Complex. You know, aside from all of the killing, but I’m not about to stop now.

If it’s a Western-style book, yes that is so! And by ascending numerical order, I mean number 1 on the left side. When you put English language Book One on the shelf spine facing out, its cover gets turned to the right side (unless it is upside-down!), touching back cover of Book Two. But Manga will have front cover of Book One snug against the left side of the bookshelf, and its back cover touches front cover of Book Two. You should go try it with your books, just to see it happen. Feels good.

I like that when I line them up on a shelf in numerical order, all the pages are lined up in order as well, with the end of one book touching the start of the next.

Have you seen it again since? If not, you could watch it again and give us ratings for how good it is with dialogue, versus without? Would be neat if they accidentally made a silent movie that’s better than the version with full audio. But I think as a control, you should also get back together with that girlfriend and be on the phone with her while you watch it. She’ll understand, it’s for science.

When I was 18 (don’t ask how many years ago), I went on a road trip with my girlfriend, across the country and back. We stopped at a gas station and there was a girl around our age with Native American heritage sitting on the floor while sewing moccasins. She sold me a pair for 175 dollars. I know this because the price tag is a sticker on the inside of the tongue that I’ve never bothered to take off.

I wear them frequently, mostly around the house. Very comfortable. Best-fitting footwear I own. The soles have never worn through and they’ve needed not even one stitch in repairs. But since they’re getting in the ballpark of two decades old, I worry they will wear out someday. I would love to go back to that area and spend more time than a quick stop at the gas station. Partly to find out who else around there is helping to keep these elements of native cultures alive. And hopefully I would also find my way into owning a backup pair of some really good moccasins.

Or he just wants it to make the news so his co-conspirators can buy low after which point he can reverse course in (rolls die) 3 days and they can sell high.

We should let him know he’s not allergic. He might be going out of his way to avoid moon dust for no reason.

And why do these “hurricanes” always avoid crossing the equater, as if they’re somehow innately aware of the one word I can’t spell?
