Why would a mermaid even need a bra for?

Their sexual allure to humans is part of their natural survival strategy.

Neither starfish or clamps add any support either.

Makes as much sense as a sentient peacock butterfly covering the eyes on its wings cause its shy.

PSA: “Archiving” is a general legal-neutral and safe term you can use with co-workers.

Wether i am also a pirate one may speculate but i am always an archivist.

I do use LXC but those are still pretty much a virtual machine.

I unironically do this in proxmox. Keeps things nice and separate and i still have plenty ram left.

I agree that those are way over the top but attractive packaging for selling drugs is just not ok. And i say this as an enjoyer. Responsible use is common and normal human behavior.

Completely neutral package with a clear label of for informed, responsible, adult use is just sensible.

But i want to stretch that the image it is sold as does not mean that should be the final look. There is a lot of potential creativity left to make something safe to put on a shelf or site but is in hand still classy for the user to enjoy. After all, the good vibes of aesthetics on the table are not nearly as bad as those from the drug itself, while taking that away actually puts more emphasis in that purely chemical high.

If we go to far we with with neutralizing we could end deciding that flavors make drugs appealing (flavored cigarettes are actually band in places) but for liquor that can backfire to reducing everything to wodka.

If you befriend gen z and autists. You wont have this problem with them.

You know you can just hide/show them in two clicks right?

Its important to note the majority of players don’t mod their game at all.

Those that do tend to sink much time into playing and those little repetitive annoyances get more and more in the way of enjoyment.

Also. The vanilla save systems? Ain’t no (Attempted) functional adult got time for that no matter the realism.

“Click on the images where the red outline is clearly marking a building”

Gonna be honest, accessibility for those with altered color vision is gonna need some work.

In a way they can but the rich live in a very weird world of pretend so depending on what their answer is there may be pretend consequences and altered perception of their worth.

Altman responded that simply their charter of “for benefit of all man kind” is enough reason to decline but he carefully mentioned that the actual bidding price would not matter to come to that decision. He is friends with fascists but not stupid.

For context:

This bid is an attempt at a threat because it overvalued the perceived value of the non profit side of openai.

Openai has a known perceived total value. (dont know how much exactly) Musk wants to lay the argument that by refusing his bid. Most of that value is in the non profits side and thus less in the for profit side.

This is a threat because the profit side is where openai partners, like Microsoft have their stake. So its lowering the perceived monopoly money of those shareholders.

Of course can be ignored. OpenAi has stated they can refuse on many other reasons unrelated to the bidding price.

Also OpenAi is a fascist collaborator just like musk.

Just because they tricked half the population into becoming collaborators doesn’t mean it’s not the owning class versus the common people.

Don’t get me wrong, there will be fights along political lines, they will be used as cannon fodder but just like any war the opposing soldier is not your enemy, those that guide the actions of those solders are. Propaganda will do one heck of job making sure gullible people believe they have no choice.

Racism is form of cancer but it has been demonstrated many times that on a individual level it can be cured.

That is exactly what i meant, and can definitely respect your position on it. But i hope you are aware that as AI systems go mainstream you may encounter this communicative disconnect more frequently and as the person who knows the proper usage you are better equipped to bridge the gap with the general public then they are to understand the technical meaning.

Calling it wrong is a bit harsh though, in my experience language is a subjective ever evolving construct. The correct way to use language (in my opinion) is whatever way that gets the point across to any listeners.

“When it detects a user may be under 18, Google will notify them that it has changed some of their settings and will offer information about how users can verify their age with a selfie, credit card, or government ID.”

Selfies are useless as proof for young adults and people with a young face. No algorithm can tell a 17.11 yo from a 18 yo so it will flag every single one of them.

This is a way to normalize handing over your details for the next generations. Nothing more.

The good news isn that once teens figure out that other browsers and search engines don’t stop them from finding porn they might stick with them.

Cuda and optix are anecdotally three times faster at rendering than any amd solution.

That doesn’t mean amd doesn’t perform well though, its personal preference on how much that time saving is worth it.

Just to add some variation to these comments.

Nvidia works absolutely fine on (arch) linux, that needs to be said. Performance is on par with windows.

Depending on what your needs are its the better choice. (I have a few pieces of software that greatly rely on CUDA)

But the elephant in the room is your need for non proprietary driver. The only open source nvidia does is the strict minimum to catch up and stay competitive on linux (they where losing before). There is a clear winner on this front. Que all the other comments.

Same <3

I don’t think real consciousness is required for my own standard of intelligence. I also consider consciousness without intelligence but agree they are often related. I mostly gave it as another example of something that we ourselves are not intelligent enough to have an absolute definition for.

Please dont get me started on gravity. Your poking an nest of autistic bees with that one. I have very strong feelings about it being labeled a fundamental force (which means it cant be explained as emergent from a more fundamental something) yet we all know the gravity “effect” as i have dubed it is caused by the curvature of spacetime.

“Spacetime” somehow not consider a fundamental force, but we have 2 types of radiation to both make the list.

Omfg you started it now.

Electromagnetism is emergent of quantum stuff. Quantum is not a fundamental force. Electromagnetism is. Aaaargh

Science is in shambles and a fucking joke (/s)

I am often very specific about the meaning of some words myself, however in this case i doubt a textbook definition will do.

One can write entire books on what intelligence is and still only scratch the surface.

Words like “reason” and “understanding” are massive on their own.

Same with something like conscious. We do not understand it well enough for any definition to fit.

When people dismiss Ai as not intelligent they are not using a dictionary metric of checkboxes to see if it is or isn’t intelligent. They weigh it on their own subjective understanding of intelligence.

To give you a specific example.

I call them “ai” because i have the technical background to understand its field of Computer science but i don’t consider llms like claude or o3 at all intelligent.

I do consider them smart, clever and even knowledged but i personally put the bar of intelligent reasoning at a more conscious awareness of its surroundings close to emergent desire for self preservation. An example (but not necessarily) would be demonstrating a continual emotional experience.
