Maybe if we’re lucky they’ll all fall in the pit and disappear together!

Well the thing that made it blindingly obvious was that it was a 30 second video of a tall truck driving full tilt toward a low bridge, so obviously something was about to happen!

He might be, but that’s a chance I’m willing to take given how fucking terrible Trump is.

Gosh I sure hope Harvard can find some top-tier lawyers willing to come to their defense!

You overestimate how much guns cost here. You’re not even renting a U-Haul with that.

Good. The orange shitter has been pretty clear that he’s no friend of Ukraine, there’s absolutely no chance that he wouldn’t have leaked that information to Russia just on the hope that daddy Putin would give him a pat on the head and pretend to be friends again.

So much more fun if you believe it to be a test of skill instead of the depressing reality.

You’d think he would be the one person to learn you can’t actually just unilaterally decide that some other country is going to pay for your stuff.

The Air Jordans comment especially was a dead giveaway.

Well the kid definitely can’t enjoy life now that his mom caught him and put him on blast in front of the entire nation.

The Engineer was also told they would get a bonus if they could make maintenance more common and more expensive under the guise of improved technology.

Investors and venture capitalists fronting money and riding the Hype-Go-Round, but when the music stops and the lights go out someone’s going to be out a shitload of money.

The problem isn’t one of motivated learners being forced to drag their heels amidst their unmotivated peers.

The problem is that the core function of LLMs, the whole basis for their existence, is completely and entirely truth-agnostic. Not only do they not know what is the truth and what is not, they don’t even know what the difference is. LLMs are very good at guessing what word looks like it should come next, they can make very convincing statements, they can be very persuasive, but those words don’t MEAN anything to the machine and they are made without any consideration for accuracy.

They are literally making everything up on the basis of whether or not it sounds good, and every crackpot bullshit conspiracy theory from flat earth dumbshittery to very sincere-sounding arguments that birds aren’t real have been included in the training data. That all linguistically SOUNDS fine, so to an LLM it’s fair game!

And even curating your training data to ONLY contain things like textbooks wouldn’t cure the problem, because LLMs just aren’t capable of knowing what those words mean. It’s why they can’t do even basic Math, the one thing Computers have been incredible at!

Using an LLM as an actual teacher is genuinely worse than no education at all, because it will just create a generation that, instead of knowing nothing, will very confidently be wrong all the time.

The vehicle, certified for airworthiness and flight-tested over 170 hours with more than 500 takeoffs and landings, is now headed for mass production.

Jesus fuck please tell me that’s a typo and they left some zeros off. Your average commercial pilot has more than that before any airline is even willing to consider hiring them, that is absolutely not sufficient testing.

Still, early adopters may face bureaucratic turbulence. Potential buyers must be both licensed drivers and certified pilots.

No shit. And that is never going to change, becoming a certified pilot is a lot fuckin harder than getting a driver’s license, and for very good reasons. If some BMW-driving cunt can’t even be arsed to use his turn signal do you really want to ease the “bureaucratic turbulence” just so he can fuck up and crash into a packed airliner? These things still have to use runways, the people flying them still need to know how to behave themselves at airports, how to identify and avoid restricted airspace, how to communicate with ATC and how to behave if (let’s be honest, when) they get Intercepted.

And all of this so you can have a car that’s worse at being a car, and an airplane that’s worse at being an airplane, but hey at least you won’t have to book a rental car at your destination airport, which I remind you they still have to use.

Elon really hoping that he can skate by without legal consequences as long as he just pretends he didn’t actually bribe voters.

Concern troll is, as I understand it, more directly faking concern for a person. Things like "Are you okay? Do you need to talk to someone?"because you rebutted their argument, or “Suicide/self harm are never the answer” because you posted an opinion they disagree with. Sometimes it even rises to the point of reporting comments as self harm in a way that gets an automated or admin response.

With this administration you don’t need listening devices. If they didn’t already add you to the group text you can just slide a cheeseburger across the table and ask.

If the house you’ve been living in for ages goes up in value, that doesn’t turn into money you can spend.

To start, it’s a large scale demonstration of the Dunning-Kruger effect. They obviously understand very little about the law, if anything, but they think they understand one loophole and the sense of understanding breeds confidence. When you understand nothing, the feeling that you now understand something can be a powerful one.

Follow that up with a conspiracy-theorist’s mindset and it starts to make more sense. The SovCit thinks they understand this loophole, but that They don’t want to allow it. Who are They? Pick one. The Deep State, Corporate Elites, Rogue Judges, whoever it is that the SovCit feels has the power and will to ignore the rules just to personally thwart that SovCit’s stunningly clever application of the law. Now, their case isn’t failing because literally everything they thought they understood about the law is wrong, it’s because that Judge is willfully ignoring the law in an abuse of power specifically intended to put a stop to this. It’s not that the SovCit was wrong to think their signature on legal documents was meaningless because they wrote “Rights Reserved” beside it, the Deep State just doesn’t want people to know that’s how you avoid consequences!

Finally, wrap it all up with mythical “experts” and a self propagating network. One person trying all that shit alone might realize they don’t actually know what they’re doing, but they’ll select their contacts to surround themselves with people who will reassure them that if the first letter of the name on that legal document is capitalized it actually means a shadow-account created at birth and not the biological person. They’ll get support to help them overcome their doubts, fed by rumors of a friend of a friend who totally got it to work, or someone who got away with a warning on a traffic stop because they didn’t recognize the cop’s jurisdiction, or a friend’s cousin who has been using a fake “Private” license plate for months and has never been puled over. None of these experts materialize and provide solid, actionable information in a crisis, but the rumors and support are enough to keep any doubts at bay.

Just really wants to get his nose up diaper Don’s ass to make sure he’s orange daddy’s favorite.
