Of course not, theyre the trump files now

We live in capitalism, so unfortunately id probably spend my time figuring out how to manage my new 95% higher workload for the same pay.

Thats because this is a parody, presumably made around the time of the shooting, referancing when US senator Dean Browning did exactly this.

Theres also aliens that want to lock you in a zoo, aliens that want to rob you, aliens that want to assimilate you, and (assuming our biology is the only viable route for advanced life) refugees.

Isnt that only neccassary for anal? I dont possess the bits to test that theory, but its my understanding that it is something about the sphincter that tends to be the problem. Again, second hand source here, but it is my understanding that lady bits are kinda designed to be good at evacuating things. I would think your evacuator would also be ideal, but what do i know? Im not a buttologist. But id like to be ;) (cant figure out out to do subtext)

How do i delete someone elses' post

Im pro meritocracy! Thats very easily explainable. Its because of a couple factors, but the big ones are lack of generational wealth among minorities and a differance in avialability of opportunity.

Because of societal issues in the past, minorities were less positioned to take advantage of people the economy. This means they were unable to accrue generational wealth, which directly leads into support systems that every single person relies on. Without that generational wealth you are less likely to take risks, stunting further economic growth. It also limits your ability to network, which is how you gain influence.

This directly leads to lower quality of education, less vocational training, higher crime rates, and a slew of other issues, which all directly impact your ability to gain and maintain new skills.

I believe the best person available should be flying my plane. Under our current system, that "best person" is likely a white male pilot because he had the strongest support systems and the generational wealth required to grant him the opportunities to refine his skills. Im not racist for wanting the best pilot. I would be racist if i failed to recognise that that best pilot is going to be white due to historical imbalance of opportunity.

Yep, thats the key issue that so many people fail to understand. They want AI to be deterministic but it simply isnt. Its like expecting a human to get the right answer to any possible question, its just not going to happen. The only thing we can do is bring error rates with ai lower than a human doing the same task, and it will be at that point that the ai becomes useful. But even at that point there will always be the alignment issue and nondeterminism, meaning ai will never behave exactly the way we want or expect it to.

As far as i can tell, when you have to ask that, the answer is usually: cringe

Because russia thinks "we can take that and they wont risk defensing it or attempting to take it back because theyd be risking a nuclear disaster"

Its literally the exact same reasoning for why they didnt expect the rest of the world to get involved, because they have nukes.

Nah, you had a point until your last statement. What is barbarism if not the unjustified killing of a person based on their skin color? The only thing the original comment was missing is that we still hard that same primitve barbaric system, weve just restricted the worst of it to the lower class and minorities.

Oh, Isreal is testing the ceasefire again?

This looks so surreal, like it was taken by an electron microscope. Super cool!

Better service with a more reliable and repeatable doctor for cheaper? I mean, yeah, everyone deserves that.

Literally a hard coded bot that just follows the exact same steps but coded by a professional doctor would be better than most american health care. The sheer ability of a bot to be repeatable and consistent immedietely places them in a different echelon for delicate procedures in the medical field. While LLMs have inherit vulnerabilities such as hallucinations, an actual AI trained on all the precedent cases for our legal system would be the greatest lawyer ever created. Effectively free because it can be run on your local computer, and yet with all the legal knowledge of our entire country in a fairly indexable package? Sounds incredible.

The biggest bit of muance here is that, admittedly, i dont realistically see AI replacing humans entirely at least in the short term. For creative processes that youre not willing to license out to a generative model largely trained on poisoned ai slop, the only way to get a bot to produce anything decent is to give it near human level intelligence at least within its field. Human level intelligence is a much trickier thing to create than basic dumb automation.

Dang, turns out my hatred of sweet potato was actually a hatred of colonialism lol

Cringe censoring is cringe

My last gf started french kissing me out of no where. Absolutely hated it. Cannot understand the appeal.

You are in this dream but we do not grant you the rank of happy. Please, take a seat.

Every time i see this post i think of that one time it got posted and the top comment was "thats called a desire path"

The post title was "desire path". It was posted on c/desire_paths. That level of oof lives in my brain rent free now.

As long as both rocks are relatively flat on the connected faces, in most cases no. A piece of paper is, what, 8 inches wide on its second shortest axis? For two "relatively" flat pieces of rock, your going to have multiple places where a small segment juts out. Those are the segments that will support all the weight of the rock, and a heavier rock will have more/thicker supporting segments. Both of those factors combined, especially on rocks as heavy as these, would lead me to expect not being able to stick a fairly large piece of paper between them. Something much thinner, like a sticky note, would be significanly easier to fit through those gaps. But a standard piece of notebook paper would not be able to fit through the gaps on my window hinges, and they are by no means sealed.
