It’ll be interesting when we have sufficient technology to change form at the snap of a finger. Maybe if we upload our consciousness and inhabit a digital realm it could be much sooner or if we become aware this is a simulation and learn how to alter it effectively.

Go to the RNC, they’re all so deeply in the closet and in such self hatred they torment everyone else about it.

I wonder if reading from the ports is any faster?

To temporarily drop into a philosophical debate, all humans are doing is seemingly action potentials in neurons which form models and do predictions not too dissimilar but a lot better and of course self aware (I’m assuming other people are self aware)

That said I’m surprised current models are even as good as they are, most people take the progress since 2017 for granted, then again the AI hype train has over promised like mad and when the thing works it can be flipping amazing, it’s just not consistently that good and failures are unpredictable. I honestly didn’t think we would be here until 2050 to 2080.

Alright philosophy aside, humans are easier to reason with so far, particularly when questioning.

True but usually when they go in and look at it it all snaps back into their mind. . . Usually.

My experience thus far is not all sessions even with the same AI are equal. There’s still that issue of erroneous errors and of course differing levels of quality of output each and every time it’s asked to do something. Like sometimes it’s bang on amazing and other times it’s straight up gaslighting you over statements that are blatantly false.

Yeah he’s had a very neutral take on it. Like it’s a thing and it does good work some of the time but ultimately code not written by a person is harder to maintain. At least when a person writes code they typically have a strong understanding of what they wrote and can accurately communicate that to others.

Nice, I do a lot of this through other means. Like my taskbar is set up for ! notation. Thanks for the information. I’ll definitely give it a try.

Thanks, I’ll check it out… I mainly use ddg currently…

I’ll check it out. Any opinion of it over something like duckduckgo?

What’s your choice search engine?

Not the same but you can use a terminal browser like lynx, links2, w3m, or browsh and pipe the output wherever you want. Similarly you can force standard browsers to run in an html only mode.

Neither do they, that’s why they build up forces and create fancy narratives to justify the shooting. No one kills anyone, you’re just stopping a terrorist or the enemy. Nice and mentally easy.

Well it’s not like the structure evaporates after a year but yeah a participant would only get about a year.

I’m actually curious about the answer. Some back of the napkin math (aka take it with a grain of salt), it looks like ~100,000 could be housed in a rapid rehousing / temporary housing structure or ~40,000 in permanent supportive housing but the number is super variable based on location. Like are we talking housing them in NY, LA, SF or like rural West Virginia, Mississippi, Oklahoma? Also if one were to buy out whole homes for like $400,000 to give to the individual homeless then it’s like 2,125 people, although I doubt anyone is suggesting that. Irl probably 10,000 to 20,000 after a large sum of the money has leaked out due to overcharging and corruption.

There’s already a class war, I’ll give you one guess who’s currently winning and losing.

Seems like something easy to prove one way or another

I’m not saying it is, but what I am saying is there’s a lot of fuck shit about it and the events that followed after.

Remember Snowden? All of the expansions on surveillance by multiple countries didn’t do much but at least now we have dragnet surveillance now.

Funny enough Larry Silverstein purchased the twin towers just 49 days before the attack even though the cost of renovating the buildings asbestos was likely going to cost more than their purchase price. On top of that he argued with the insurance companies to triple his coverage which they were happy to do because they would be receiving triple the pay. For all intents and purposes he had made the dumbest financial decisions in modern history. He was headed for immediate financial insolvency. After the attack and all the dust settled he cleared $4.5 billion. On top of that the man very famous for never missing a single day at the office just so happened to be out for an appointment exactly at the time of the attack. This is why he is also known as the luckiest business man in modern history. It’s almost as if he knew something that everyone else didn’t, otherwise his purchase of the towers and agreement with the insurance companies really doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.

The term at least in the US is very skewed in one direction and not the other. Groups that are labelled as terrorist organizations aren’t in the US, like the proud boys. I wouldn’t even say the state, I would say the wealthy and powerful who feel a group can be useful or not.
