Putting more knowledge in a box isn’t going to create a lifeform. I have even listened to Sam Altman state they are not going to get a life form from just pretraining, though they are going to continue making advances there until the next breakthrough comes along.

Rest assured, as an AI doomsayer myself, I promise you they are nowhere close to sentience.

I am not shocked.

I think it is built using activitypub. Its essentially a mastodon server that has all incoming servers blocked.

I disagree.

We know what META is about and what they do. We came here because we didn’t want to be treated as products and used as experiments constantly watched by “AI algorithm”.

The smartest thing anybody ever said to me is, “don’t let a pimp have access to the battered woman’s shelter.”

Almost all of us are here because we have either always thought that, or grew to think that.

If you guys get flaming hot cheetos for cheaper, you could always just squeeze some lime on it and its essentially the same.

They are definitely an acquired tastem I prefer them over flamin hot cheetos though.

I always wanted to punch Like Barinholtz in the face, and Noe, with the game used as the reference photo, I actually can!

Takis.

Huh maybe they shouldn’t have attempted to make their customers pay 3 times to play one game.

Piracy doesn’t take money from artists, just ask Cory Doctorow, a person making their living as a writer while uploading the torrents of his novels himself.

Corporate consolidation is what kills the artists. The studios make less movies per year, so the a list actors go to television and take the roles Rob Morrow used to get.

KGRG is world famous among radio fans. Those kids have the pulse.

What does this mean?

This comes up a lot in science fiction circles: did PKD predict the future, or did he invent it?

Much of his work seems to have been the basis for technological revolution.

I highly doubt most Russians are criminals. I assume most are just like you and me.

You made an offer likely knowing what content your mother consumed.

Also, doing this for her means those charlatans aren’t actually getting her money.

Something to consider in favor of doing your mom a solid.

Just make sure you out satanic films in the folder and rename them to Christian themed titles.

If you are a member of the Iranian military who has been tasked with pretending to be a trans-communist in effort to convert lgbt kids into the Islamic extremist fold, .ml is the place for you.

If you aren’t that, it’s probably unsafe.

Unfortunately, all the edible food at grocery stores gets taken to the food bank.

Large grocers have Garbage’s that are not accessible from the outside, but the only food they throw in there is from the hot bars.

Your best bet is trying at a local health food store, if they have a hot bar or deli counter. Their dump times are between 2-3 and around 7:30-8 (food must be dumped after sitting in hot plates for four hours, assume the hot bar opens at 10 and closes at 7).

I would say in this specific situation, Al Jazeerah is more of a participie in the Israel-Palestine war than the New York times is.

I however don’t read the New York times and have no ability to defend them, since I cut out corporate media from my life years ago.

Besides NPR (which itself does not do international on the ground reporting) which of your sources are state funded? Specifically which of them are funded by a right wing theocracy?

None. That is the difference. Fox News might overtly hate gay people, but are they funded by people who have courts which prosecute homosexuality?

We should prevent that sort of stuff at home and disavow it abroad. Especially if we are leftists, no?

Well I notice Fox is a common denominator in both stories, and I do believe people who get their news from that source are generally guillable at best and uneducated at worst.

But I also think all sides are equally capable of getting things wrong, which is why we need independent journalists (such as those aligned with Bellingcat, for instance) to have reporters on the ground.
