I think part of it is that they want to gaslight people into believing they have actually achieved AI (as in, intelligence that is equivalent to and operates like that of a human’s) and that these are signs of emergent intelligence, not their product flopping harder than a sack of mayonnaise on asphalt.

Question for the sailors out there: if they change the name back will that uncurse it or make it twice as cursed, since the name was changed twice?

I thought the 1 vote had to be ~~the Zodiac killer~~ Ted Cruz, but no:

The one vote backing moratorium on state AI laws came from Thom Tillis, not Cruz.

Did he just not get the memo, or is he that paid off?

A 45% cut is insane when they barely ran to begin with. So is $2.90 for less frequent service. This fucking sucks all around, both in the moment and for all the effects it’s going to have downstream.

If you hate the feel of sunscreen like I do, check out UPF clothing 👍

Something about seeing some of the beautiful blooming jacaranda trees that are everywhere in LA in this picture really got me :(

I can’t qwhite put my finger on what the difference is 🤔

Conservatives are unironically like this. They cheer when we have earthquakes and fires.

Unironically, cows are great indicators of what’s normal in fields and pastures. They’re up over there investigating ICE because they’ve never seen them or their vehicles before.

During WWII there are stories of both sides having issues in rural France because milk cows would come up to their hiding spots, crying to be milked (going unmilked is painful for dairy cows).

If you weren’t there, what you mean is you haven’t been shown any American flags in the protests.

Anyone who thinks there needs to be more American flags at the protests is welcome to bring them along with themselves. But sitting here criticizing the people actually off their ass and trying to protect democracy and their neighbors is bullshit.

Further, the right is literally never going to see resistance to Trump positively. Anyone who has been on the Fox News drip for the past 20 years is so unhinged that living in California is a crime to them. Asking people whose neighbors and family members have been kidnapped by the federal government to hide their heritage in their protests because it might offend people that already hate them and want them gone is ridiculous. At least if you want to keep those people as allies.

Maybe you should when the National Guard is illegally occupying your state? If not now, when?

Expecting Trump to play ball and use California as anything but a whipping boy is a pipe dream.
