I do a lot of online language exchange. I have dual citizenship, but if anyone asks, I’m Canadian.

Dang, sorry to hear that. Definitely not a fun thing to add to the pile there, huh :(

I ate food with friends and family, but it was very much a typical gathering. I dont think anyone said “happy 4th” or anything.

To be fair, in doing so, he would have given Republicans something to point to and say, “See?? The democrats are unhinged power abusers!”

Not that it really makes a difference in the end.

As an immigrant to the US, I’ve always found the blind patriotism commonplace here to be very strange. It feels even more alienating now than ever before.

No worries here. I’ve been on EndeavourOS for 3+ months now. Im just saying there’s enough crossover that I think the steam hardware survey will show the uptick over time.

Tbh, I’ve wanted to cut over to Linux for years, but I hadn’t due to game support. We’re at a point now with Proton that there’s almost no reason not to, unless you’re that beholden to games that install rootkits, er, kernel level anticheat, in which case just dual boot.

Sure it will, there are a ton of people who want to get away from the trash that is Microsoft and play Steam games, myself included.

Virginia: We can play this game too, democrats! We’re keeping our $100B to ourselves this year! Can we still get that $200B you send us each year though?

I guess it wasn’t super relevant to the prior comment, which was focused more on AI embodiment. Eh, it’s just numbers anyway, no sweat off my back. Appreciate you, though!

That and there is literally no way to prove something is or isn’t conscious. I can’t even prove to another human being that I’m a conscious entity, you just have to assume I am because from your own experience, you are so therefor I too must be, right?

Not saying I consider AI in it’s current form to be conscious, more so the whole idea is just silly and unfalsifiable.

Dude has Netanyahu’s phone number, but he’s screaming into the void of the internet like some pleb? Yeah, definitely not a good look.

Journalists AI write like garbage these days.

Dude, if I had no ethics, I would scam the fuck out of stupid people and get so rich. Damned moral compass…

Heh, you think there’ll be people to remember things in 300 years?

In a dictatorship, the rise to power is extremely dependent on being popular. Once established though, not so much. I’m guessing JD Vance, Musk, or some other Trump family member would not have sufficient following and the whole thing would topple over, as is fairly common after dear leader dies.

But he asked them so nicely to not violate the ceasefire on his social media site! He said they’d only do a “Plane Wave”!

Yeaaaaah, I mean fuck Tesla for a variety of reasons, but right here we’re looking at a car that drove itself onto a set of train tracks, continued down the train tracks, and the people inside did…nothing? Like, they grabbed their shit and got out when it got stuck. The car certainly should not have done this, but this isn’t really a Tesla problem. It’ll definitely be interesting when robotaxis follow suit though.

Huh. I’m not sure if he’s understood the alignment problem quite right.

Hey guess what? Both of these can be bad. I’d argue that the case in “Russia” is a bit worse, seeing as this is actually not Russia, but Crimea. That said, the militarization of children is fucking awful anywhere.

Or the evangelicals in Trump’s ear are trying to bring about the end of the world to kick off the rapture or some goofy ass psycho shit.
