Religious schools started to become popular after desegregation in part because religious institutions were exempted from the Civil Rights Act. This is just a continuation of that practice.

There are worse things in the world than bearing a resemblance to Alan Rickman.

I could be pedantic and note that "stealth" planes are primarily built to be "invisible" to radar and other detection methods so anti air systems can't lock onto them, and are not actually invisible to the naked eye, but somehow I doubt Trump would understand that.

The Orange Menace has been visibly unwell for *years* at this point, including seeming to doze off during his Big Boy Birthday Bash. But how dare anyone claim that he might not be physically or mentally competent to lead the free world?

Trump was visibly nodding off during his big boy parade. But I am sure that's just because he was tired of all the winning.

The average IT department is already halfway to being the Cult Mechanicus as it is, based on my experience. This is just making it more obvious.

Either they are dull and refuse to follow people, or do not know how to handle a social media environment that isn't 80% antagonism and trolling by volume.

Which is why people now tend to use the phrase "less lethal." Because tasers, stun grenades, pepper spray and rubber bullets can absolutely cause fatal injuries, they're just less likely to do so than conventional bullets. And even when they're not fatal, they can leave lasting health problems.

And if OpenAI is keeping logs of all ChatGPT interactions, they can't really claim they have no knowledge of how it is being used. It's their precious data, after all, the stuff they use to refine their model.

In other words, it will be hard to claim your Plagiarism Machine isn't a Plagiarism Machine if its users keep using it to plagiarize people.

More to the point: those logs will prove what ChatGPT is actually being used for and how it is impacting its user base. Which, among other things, will determine the extent to which it's users and OpenAI itself understand it as a means to create copyright-violating content.

Let me see... using a complex algorithm with hyper sophisticated supercomputing... I believe it says 'Drink more Ovaltine.'

I don't believe in video games, TV, radio, or any of these modern fancy means of entertainment. Instead I will be wasting my free time by playing backgammon against garden snails as God intended.

One of the "dirty little secrets" behind Tesla is that the bulk of its income came from selling carbon credits, rather than sales of vehicles or other products. Without that revenue, it's just a middle-of-the-road auto manufacturer with an increasingly unreliable product and worsening PR.

(And yes I know how insane it sounds to say they want 'capitalist communes' but let's not pretend any of this is philosophically coherent or reasonable in the first place.)

This sounds shockingly similar to what Aleksandr Dugin proposed, where the forced breaking up of various nation-states was essential to undoing the trend of liberal democracy. Except here, instead of trying to build hegemonic ethnostates, they're trying to build anarchocapitalist communes.

Antonin Scalia was indeed very gifted at making incredibly awful arguments sound erudite and respectable. He's still the guy who extended sovereign immunity to military contractors so they wouldn't need to pay the families of soldiers who drowned in a defectively constructed helicopter.

Unfortunately, color is now illegal in the iPhone-ificiation of the modern world.

They will rewrite Hellfire to be Heckfire so as to offend religious Christians less, but in good news it will be closer to the source material (more racist against the Romani, weirdly obsessed with historical preservation and medieval architecture).

If we couldn't handle people who are wrong sometimes, society would've fallen apart long ago.
The issue is that LLMs are promoted as these Super Intelligent Thinking Machines that they just... aren't. They're basically just hyper-sophisticated AutoCorrect, and should be treated as such.

Can't wait for five years from now when you compose an entire volume that needs to be read by unfolding it like a map.
