I’ve seen criticism about these laws holding back AI companies’ development

These laws can’t do anything these grifter-companies full of misguided attempts to mis-use LLMs and LAMs aren’t doing to themselves already, tbh.

It’s all just a huge bubble of C-suites blowing hot smoke up each other’s arses.

Info about wars only?

Of course, but good luck getting those 5% of users that actually produce nearly 100% of the content to move over if their business model cannot work. And once those move, you know where all the people following them move.

Exactly. The design, the sign-up process, the colors, the formatting, it’s all very pre-Musk-Twitter.

Even the icon is reminiscent!

It’s as smooth a transition as you can make it, so no wonder people do it effortlessly.

Meanwhile in camp Mastodon: “Please pick a server” -> tab closed already

Because the mastodon evangelists are horrible.

Yeah that’s another thing, Mastodon is kinda nice, except for its userbase. :P

Because people I want to follow are on Bluesky?

(I mean, duh? Did you really need people to state that?!)

Porn doesn’t wreck your mind if you’re a sensible person?

What are we talking about here? Easily impressionable people with no frame of reference? They’re susceptible to everything. Well-adjusted people with prior information? They’re susceptible to neither.

Usually this indicates that the drainage cycle is repeated again and again as the wash is still “too wet”.

Could have all kinds of reasons, check the drain sieve in particular, mine had this silver “sheen” clogging everything that was packed and hardened bits of plastic and fibre mushed together.

I would agree, but I’m still frantically thinking whether I actually agree and whether I should be expressing that publicly!

Difficult to say as that’s really not a common case at all. Might just lack evidence for how to understand this.

Probably, yes? Printed paper is quite cheap, compared to sticker material. Negligible as the per-square-meter cost of both is, and how many more stickers you get out of one.

Obviously the former. In fact, it’s 1440p/165Hz right now, and I have 0 intent to increase resolution further since modern unoptimized games already struggle with this.

The voting system is so insane. I mean sure, back in the 18th century it made sense due to the travel required, but the fact that americans still use a voting system from that time says it all really…

Pretty obviously false, and I’d genuinely question the social and intellectual capabilities of anybody who truly believes this - originally sarcastic - phrase.

Exactly this.

Indifference is how you know something doesn’t matter. I remember this lesson even from game development: People complaining about your game is still alright. When the feedback stops entirely, that’s when you fucked up.

It’s crazy that the vote is apparently close. Really goes to show how many “average” americans have utterly lost any connection to actual reality and have guzzled enough of the kool-aid to believe the weird whacky world of wonders the religious fascists constantly conjure up.

I wonder though, is this ultimately a failure not of the education and internal offices, decades ago? We let schools let people down, leading to them becoming undereducated terrible parents who let their kids down and made them vulnerable to be exploited by republicans and churches and crypto grifters. :(

Of course. It’s still just a software project.

Ah, the four basic types of coffee, Regular, Posh, Italian and Wrong.

@CuddlyCassowary ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS this topic!

Yeah but like, if you’re feeling depressed, have you tried feeling happy instead? Durr! /s
