Some of the later ones, the women targeted just completely blanked the chap making the comments.

So they never turned around and saw the joke.

It’s nothing to do with morals.

As soon as someone sets up an only fans, they’re making a statement: “my naked body is worth this much”. And a segment of society really dislikes the idea that a woman’s body can be valued in raw currency, hence they hate anyone doing so.

As I understand it, the lower ranks are very much “my first command posting” and the hope is you’ll show enough potential to go further.

If not, there’s plenty of new recruits itching to take your place.

The thing that really makes it drag on is almost nobody follows the rules properly. Do that, and it lasts about 40-45 minutes.

But most “invented” rules have the effect of making it go on for hours.

I think he's a useful idiot. Insofar as he's a Russian asset but he has no idea of this fact - they're merrily manipulating him to their will and he has no idea he's being played like a violin.

TIL I'm gay. As was my dad. As was his dad. And my uncle. And all of my brothers in law. And my cousin (who's married to a woman). And my brother.

Sun Tzu said…. well, quite a lot of things, but ultimately they all boil down to Trump being fucked.

That’s a bit like saying Trump isn’t actively employed by Russia to undermine US interests. Maybe he isn’t, but would it change anything he does if he was?

Nope. Death encompasses all species in a single anthropomorphic personification.

Well, all but one. There's a death of rats.

Trump? Publicly apologise?

Not entirely true, insofar as LLMs are indeed neural networks and that has historically been how the tech world implements AI.

Problem is, what we have is able to churn out readable text but clearly doesn't really understand it.

Other nations don't generally stop fascists unless those fascists are doing something that directly impacts their interests.

Hitler, for instance, invaded Poland when they had a mutual-defence treaty with the UK. If that treaty hadn't existed, Hitler would have continued his blitzkreig tactics elsewhere until they eventually stopped working.

Specifically:

If genesis is wrong, there was no Adam and Eve.

If there was no Adam and Eve, there was no original sin (eve giving Adam the apple). And being as Jesus was sent to earth to atone for all sin up to and including original - well, with no original sin there’s no reason for Jesus to exist.

I'm definitely hoping for the dude in the cloak with the scythe. And the blue glowing eyes. And he must speak LIKE THIS.

You missed out the part where the US has simultaneously demonstrated how poorly equipped it is to deal with an army of cheap drones. I guarantee you a lot of people are watching that with interest .

They're mostly trained on sites like Reddit.

And almost every single sub is an echo chamber. People don't (generally) post in a sub unless they think it will get traction (ie. a lot of people agreeing with it); the voting system ensures it stays that way.

So - a big chunk of the training corpus is telling AI that this is how people discuss things in real life.

I think people saying "crap, it doesn't run Doom" are missing the point. The fact it boots at all surprises me.

That makes sense, but what doesn’t make sense is the speed at which it’s happening.

Unless the people at the top equate critical thinkers with “the enemy”.

Then they’ll likely get rid of as many of those guys as possible and replace them with spineless lickspittles who might sound really strong but could be beaten by a strategically located 12 year old with a catapult.

You don’t even need to look at fiction. Hitler thought sheer force would beat brains, and look how far that got him.

The drones are a symptom. The actual problem is taking US military supremacy for granted and assuming there’s nothing to learn (and hence no point in wasting time and resources learning).
