And the hell of it is that the ruling class is so far gone in corruption and shallow self-interest - so sincerely deeply mentally ill - that they don’t recognize that ultimately they’re working against their own interests

I come across this sort of comment more and more - the fact that sociopath billionaires extending their influence to the political and judicial system are, in fact, mentally ill.

Believe me, they’re not.

They know very well what they are doing. It’s just that their wealth isolates them from the consequences of it. They don’t care about healthcare, climate change, education, unemployment, because that’s for the 95% to worry about. They are rich enough to don’t give a fuck, and they feel safe doing so.

All variants of French are real. Source: am pedantic linguist.

Yeah every store values client loyalty, but pretending companies (e.g. Walmart for crissakes) want to be loyal to their customers should disqualify you from being called an “industry analyst”.

In any constituency there are undecided voters who don’t know who they’ll vote for until election day. Since the US is a two party system I suppose they are a huge factor in the end result even though there might not be too many of them.

The guys name is John Kilo.

I’m not sure “secretly” is the right word here.

I think the most interesting thing in this article is the fact that some concepts central to semantics (analogy, connotation) or psychology (bias) kind of emerge naturally in multi layered neural networks of sufficient size. Also that it can sound like different personalities (overconfident, secretive, delusional) if you manipulate the weight or the proximity of features. I’d like to see the same kind of study but for midjourney…

But I’m really fucking tired of hearing about things we’re not trying to do because we’ll probably fail. There’s value in the failure, in the attempt.

Trump was impeached (twice) by democrats who knew it wouldn’t be enough to remove him from office.

I dunno, what do you think about this whole thing?

Accelerationism is like being on a plane and wishing it crashes when one of the engine fails.

What’s interesting about this device is that it (supposedly) learns how apps work and how people use them, so if you ask it something that requires using an app it could do it.

So while it might be “just an android app”, if it does what’s advertised that would be impressive.

Simply put:

Israel and Russia = bad guys

Palestine and Ukraine = good guys

My favorite explanation. Occam’s razor, ladies and gentlemen.

I’m not a lawyer, but couldn’t this kind of journalism support the impression that the jurors are biased, which could be grounds for appeal or mistrial? I suppose the judge knows what he’s doing, but still.

Oh man. California is a masterpiece. Musicianship is top notch, with so many different moods and styles, it’s like they had enough ideas to make 3 albums but somehow managed to cram everything into one.

The problem with that thinking is how easy it is to call someone a Nazi (or a terrorist) to legitimize killing them.

Because thinking he’s the victim of an injustice by being denied entry in an exhibit about sexism shows a total lack of empathy for people less privileged than him.

While I agree with you in principle, the guy that took this to the courts is a giant dickhead.
