I'm imagining this might come from way back when it was common for buildings to just be walls and a roof, and the ground floor was literally just the ground. Then the second level, if there was one, would be the first time they actually built a floor.

Can we just cancel the whole "ai" thing? It was fun for a bit, now it's just problems.

It's amazing how little progress we've made in 37 years.

'Something went tragically wrong', Netanyahu says

How many times has he made this claim, and how the hell does he say it with a straight face?

We can't even measure calories accurately, never mind predicting how much your specific body will actually absorb. Maybe we could be more accurate with vitamins and stuff, but I dunno.

And comments like this show the damage done by such whitewashed reporting. The most documented genocide in history is happening before our eyes and Canadians "don't have a dog in this fight."

Note that 'authoritarian' tendencies only need to become visible when the people broadly turn against the ruling class. It's like Ford's "any colour you want, as long as it's black." Sounds like freedom until you start demanding a red one.

I don't recall being warned away from facebook, google, etc. when it was revealed that all of the data they collect is accessible by the US government. China is supposed to be an adversary or whatever but the US has a much greater track record of meddling in affairs outside their borders...kinda feels like this is just ideology on display.

Factual accuracy in LLMs is "an area of active research", i.e. they haven't the foggiest how to make them stop spouting nonsense.

I think when a man can't just listen to a woman (or anyone) say their bit without jamming in caveats, it's indicative of something.

Especially if someone is venting, do not expect everything they say to be carefully balanced and measured. These people are not secretly plotting to build a completely female utopia and blast all the men into space, they're just having some feelings like the rest of us. Let them have their feelings.

Too bad you can't vote your way out of a shitty electoral system.

90% of the population can't do anything because they're not organized. Collectively, we have power.
