As a great philosopher once said: “what a maroon.”

Ah, this scans from a conceptual perspective. Thanks!

Does this generalize across any kind of process, or is it specific to one domain, e.g., ML systems?

I am unsurprised that sex appeal distorts people’s values.

Yeah, that resonates. Nothing good comes from emboldening the average jabroni to launch his/her own crusade.

Do we need to give him permission?
I find myself in this odd crevice where I want to recognize the potential for positive impact (“are any assassinations justified?”) but I see it’s a sloping descent into “well, if the outcome is positive enough, the firing squad is praxis.”

Considering the voluminous success of the Sanders-Staffer-to-right-wing-grifter pipeline, I have no doubt a Sanders administration would have spelled doom.

I also think leftist folks are far too obsessed with purity of morality to foment material change.
Real change would require them to personally sacrifice something or someone on the altar of progress. So, transformative violence has to come from the (abstract) state, not personal action.

Probably an (unsubstantiated) hot take but I don’t think there exist far left people in the US who’d be willing to do real violence. My theory is that US culture is too individualistic and therefore the goal of stochastic violence would be predominantly satisfaction of personal grievance.

i wonder what her thoughts on imperialism and dictatorships are, considering that for Biden to actually do any of that, he'd need the US to occupy Israel, and that'll be impossible if he lacked autocratic control.

It does tasks in the same way as the tech that preceded it: prestructured logic.
In that way, ChatGPT is as near to AGI as Zapier or whatever Apple calls its OSX automation scripts.
There are better examples of "intelligent" systems from NASAs early space platforms.

Genocide is wrong. It's wrong when Russia does it, it's wrong when the US does it, it's wrong when Israel does it.
There's the standard.

we had a cat that would run through the "invisible" electric fence as if he enjoyed tasing himself.

I'd urge you to re-read the post and the rest of her responses. She is very clearly condescending to him, especially because she (as a privileged white woman) practices non-violence and so should he (as a Black man).
Racism survives when white people pretend it doesn't exist.

you woke up, chose violence, then gatekept it. astonishing life choices here.

i refuse to read the post as anything but a bit. even cloutchasers wouldn't go for a take this bonkers.

It's ableist for you to claim that I made this stuff up, i lack skeet permanence.

I used to read the Fountainhead once a year as if I was watching reruns of Jersey Shore. She’s a dogshit author but that level of crazy is somehow utterly entertaining.

Agree! To be clear, I think intersectionality is very important. I personally don't express mine (partially because of my privilege), but I support other people doing to find community.
I do object to the use of intersectionality as a shield against criticism.

unsurprised how quickly this feature got weaponized.

can't help but notice the correlation between the number of marginalized identities that are explicitly identified in a profile and the likelihood that the poster is utterly unhinged.

I think FromSoft's approach to difficulty is a business decision that allows them to quickly push reskinned versions of older titles, rather than investing in design and implementation for complex systems.
I also think the difficulty is largely a result of grievously bad interaction controls.

the market price for beatdowns fluctuates on various factors. y'know, like catch-of-the-day at a seafood restaurant.

in retrospect, her descent into absolute insufferability was not at all surprising.

Do you ever find yourself unable to choose between "imma block this person and their rancid vibes" and "if i block them, i'll deprive myself of the entertainment value inherent to Batshit Takes Hotter Than The Sun"?
or is this a me problem?

are you this unshakeably chill in real life? it's amazing.
i personally find it very difficult to remain calm when a horde of terminally online leftists digs deep into the Bag of Performative Holding for slurs to hurl at me.

Was this actual Daily Discorse at one point? It’s so maximally deranged it must have been real.
I fear I’d have a aneurysm if I saw it posted sincerely.

That’s a well known gimmick account (or someone posing as them) from twitter. Not worth your ire.

Against my consent, this whole situation has given me a reason to root for Zuck and I will do so with the most begrudging affect I can muster.

100%. The person who lists their HP “house” in a profile either has no personality or is some shade of batshit immature.

This is a fantasy totally bereft of any understating of the healthcare environment.
