The way it was described to me by some academics is that it’s useful…but only as a “research assistant” to bounce ideas off of and bring in arcane or tertiary concepts you might not have considered (after you vet them thoroughly, of course).

The danger, as described by the same academics, is that it can act as a “buddy” who confirms you biases. It can generate truly plausible bullshit to support deeply flawed hypotheses, for example. Their main concern is it “learning” to stroke the egos of the people using it so it creates a feedback loop and it’s own bubbles of bullshit.

Then he’d call them a national security threat, embargo them, and expand the military base the US has there.

Because too many Americans are so stupid and captured by capitalism they believe you’re stupid if you don’t have payroll insurance.

Let’s be real…the MAGA fascists just saw “transgender” and that was all they needed to hear. The next words could have been “saved a baby from a fire”, and they would have wanted them fired.

PS…that subject of this article looks like this guy Allen I grew up with.

I’m like most people the people here….if an app doesn’t have an easy and obvious way to disable notifications on installation…ie if it “sneaks” in notifications later on…it’s gone. No chances.

No shit.

I actually believed somebody when they told me it was great at writing code, and asked it to write me the code for a very simple lua mod. It’s made several errors and ended up wasting my time because I had to rewrite it.

So dumb.

In the 30s you can start talking about the 20s. It will be annoying at first because people will try to be funny and/or get intentionally get confused that you’re talking about the 1920s.

I’d imagine talking the way you’re being nostalgic about will be in full swing by the 2040s.

…talking about Ukraine, perhaps?

Unfortunately it’s kinda true. People, in general, are far too willing to file themselves into boxes.

Back in the day when I still cared about meeting women I was always surprised at how my fashion aesthetic would attract the same type over and over again.

I mean…does anyone believe that it was Ukraine that did this, and not just Russia killing two birds with one stone?

Yeah…EN is better defined as it’s own thing. Calling early EN “industrial” was almost too on the nose. It’s better to call them experimental music…but a DJ here and the would play them way back when…sometimes to clear the club, lol.

That’s not what a lame duck is…a lame duck is not controlling enough levers to be effective.

It’s just a theory…I know he’s evil, will still have SCOTUS, and I might be wrong.

…and of course he cares about winning the mid terms, don’t be silly.

I got sick of the automated moderation system that the petty sub mods could exploit.

Interesting perspective…I’m old, can barely navigate YouTube, and I don’t know what any of those things you mentioned are for (although you helped me I stand them a titch more).

For more background…I was a club kid…and goth clubs were my favourite because I was a misfit and felt at home. Speaking of The Misfits…I totally ignored/forgot about the horror goths, which were a huge contingent in early goth: you’d get all these drama kids in cliques waiting for Time Warp to get played. The Misfits, as a band, were like The Cure or The Smiths…the fans and shirts were present…maybe more than the first two….but it was only aesthetic, the music wasn’t really getting played much….it was really cool and weird that they eventually released Helena, but I digress. Speaking of euro industrial, is anyone playing EN, these days?

Yeah…goth seems to have kind of morphed with “emo”: it’s…a vibe and it signals that somebody follows a strict fashion code.

Effed up, right? They blew their endowment buying a private company because they got forced to be profitable…they’re still not profitable, because it’s impossible…and the politicians are pretending the endowment that would have kept pensions solvent never existed.

Others? He doesn’t want to be a lame duck for the last 2 years.

No they didn’t. They redacted the names of Trump, his allies, and people who bribed him.

The media needs to say what’s actually going on, not just feed us bullshit Trump says.

Get rid of the dumb legislation that says Canada Post has to both turn a profit and be legally obligated to provide money losing services. The legislation is obviously designed to ensure that Canada Post is eventually split up and privatized.

Anyone who says Canada Post is a business is a moron…no business is legally required to lose money.
