The biggest favor you've ever done for anyone in your entire life is.... Buying a pack of cigarettes?!

Not true in the US. They could ban anyone born in the entire month of April, or anyone who "looks like a pot smoker" if they wanted to.

Applicants, employees and former employees are ONLY protected from employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, or gender identity), national origin, age (40 or older), disability and genetic information (including family medical history).

Good for MS, bad for humanity. I believe one of the worst possible timelines for the average human is one where for-profit capitalist entities control access to AGI and horde all the benefits accrued from it. OpenAI was founded specifically to avoid this - with a complicated governance structure designed to ensure true AGI would end up owned by humanity with the benefits shared by all.

The OpenAI board and top researchers made a desperate bid to prioritize safety over profits, and even with that elaborate governance structure behind them capitalism still seems to have found a way to fuck us.

Today we saw Satya Nadella and Sam Altman steer humanity further from a possible utopia and closer to.... Cyberpunk 2077.

Good luck everyone!

Never forget that Sisko slept with Dax in the Mirror Universe.

The IDF spokesman in the clip confirmed they were aware of refugee women and children in the location before deciding to go ahead with the bombing.

This isn't vandalism. It's on a page about LGBT slang.

You seriously think the Palestinians have rockets that can single-handedly destroy hospitals, killing hundreds of people? Can you link me to a single other instance of a rocket doing similar amounts of damage?

No, you can't. Because this is much more consistent with the damage caused by modern munitions manufactured by the US and provided to Israel.

You are biased as fuck.

Why are you pasting this exact same comment on any threads where the Israeli narrative is questioned? I'm trying to figure out if you're part of a Mossad information op, or just a naive Fox News viewer.

He was probably afraid to call for help due to the insane prices the search and rescue folks charge. Might have wanted to wait another day or two to be sure he was really lost before calling for help.

I've had Google Play Music (and YouTube Premium as a freebie) since it launched at $7.99 per month. Folks like me who were grandfathered in at that price just got an increase to $13.99, which forced me to cancel. I can't afford restaurants or takeout anymore with inflation as bad as it is, and I guess I can't afford YouTube either.

I mean, the FSB could have easily had an asset inside the refueling operation at the Moscow airport. Place a small time-delayed explosive charge in the fuel intake of the left wing just before take-off, and you'd end up with pretty much exactly the crash profile we've seen.

It's cheaper and more reliable than a missile, leaves less physical evidence behind, and maintains a higher level of plausible deniability. Especially if your fallback plan is to blame it on the Ukrainians if the plot gets discovered.

It's from a movie named "Half Baked".
