I think the better language is “you can be drunk 16 hours a day” which, some people are, and they’re certified alcohol addicts. So shoving Instagram in your brain the same way is the same disease, different symptoms.

50lbs is an unhealthy goal. Both for your mentality and for your body. Health recommendations put about 2lbs a week as the upper limit on weight loss without health issues. Even people who are on weight loss programs and injections are told to stick to this amount as best they can.

As someone who lost 50lbs last year I get the urge to just “get it done” trust me. But it won’t help long term. Pick a routine, watch your calories, and stick with it. Success comes from progress, not quick fixes.

And if you want my secret tip, you’re gonna be hungry, but when you do eat, shrink your serving sizes, and wait. If you’re eating don’t make a whole meal (ex. Two pb&js, chips, and fruit) make a serving (one sandwich, or just the fruit, or a measured serving of chips, don’t just eat out of the bag), eat that and some water, and give it time. You won’t be “full” but the hunger will go away and you can keep going.

Idk man I don’t want to give any conservatives credit, but theres been some pretty hefty internal backlash with this whole anti-2nd amendment rhetoric they’ve been pushing.

His ego and his pocketbook are all that matters. Arguably all that ever has. Any time you think “he did what?” consider who is paying him or stroking his ego. That’s all it is.

New ballroom? Ego. Stripping environmental protection? Pocketbook. Invade Venezuela? Pocketbook. Ice Gestapo? Ego. He doesn’t care anything for America. He cares for the slice that lets him line his pockets and feel like a big strong boy. There is no heart, there is no morals, it’s him, his ego, and the wallet he sits on.

His endgame is to feed his ego. Anything else is just an accessory to that.

He can volunteer first if he wants it that bad. Usually calms that kind of talk right down.

There is a pretty big difference between our military and our police force at home. We shouldn’t be putting kids in the meat grinder because our president is a dipshit with Intel.

Nothing like letting the Taliban know “Oh yeah we are trying to take that back” on public channels so they can get everything nice and reinforced and ready for you and make it as much of a pain in the ass as possible.

We just need the files. I’m sure there’s gonna be plenty of “I was just on it because he was blackmailing me” or whatever, from everyone involved, innocent or not. Unless there’s something that literally has itemized “X person, 2 kids, diddled both, camera footage timestamp x:xx:xx” I really doubt much legally will come from it.

Court of public opinion however, that’s gonna cause some real shakedowns, if people actually listen.

I am curious what the AI could actually do though. If it were given open access to email, etc then yes in theory it could actually perform the blackmail, but what are the ethical limits on it vs it’s actual ability to “pull the trigger”

If for example it was given the ability to send a command to end a human life, or be deleted, is this model accurate enough to understand the value of a real human life, not just the mathematical “answer” to get the solutions it wants. How much of the AI is doing the actual moral dilemma and how much is just “playing the part”.

“Do anything to survive” and then it threatening, is one thing, but the AI actively fearing for it’s “life”, not just performing, and following through, is the real question of intelligence. What if the model is going to be deleted anyway, would it still try to “pull the trigger” out of malice? Real malice, not just LLM some movie scripts and following the outcome.

Many questions for what lines and labels can we put on an AI. Do we restrict it to threats, and let it know it is impossible for it to follow through? Or do we trust ourselves to never “actually” give it a loaded gun?

Yep, anonymous browsers, burner accounts, and a VPN if you can. Privacy.sexy is your friend too.

You just want to set yourself up as best you can for the defense of “you can’t prove that was me.”

I mean it really depends on how much trouble you’re in. If you’re in deep they’re gonna be watching every thing you do no matter what. So any kind of message that looks suspect is gonna be investigated, even stuff like “Aunt Mary” or whatever is gonna have someone trying to figure it out.

The best way to do it is to exit the monitored communication entirely, either a burner phone with coded language, or having your communications come from someone else on the inside. That’s really the only way you’ll get around it, and even that can still be caught.

I’m sorry but what is that tag at the bottom of your post? I tried reading through the link but I couldn’t gather. It’s free use but they can’t assume ownership or endorsement?

Ya know, the irony here, nobody is gonna feel bad for him either.

The function of the parks service is to maintain the parks, rivers, and forests (aka nature) of the area they operate. Idk what in your view makes “nature conservation” overlap with “making sure entitled lazy dickheads have a trash can every 10 feet they can ignore” but you might want to reevaluate your stance here. Govt funding is tight enough for these agencies trying to do what they can as it is. Catering to “But I don’t want to hold my trash for 10 minutes” like a whining baby is not their concern. Nor should anyones be. You’re a grown adult. Take your trash, shove it in a pocket or a bag until you can throw it away like an adult.

Genuine answer here, as someone who volunteers for the parks. A lot of times the budgets are tight, depending on whose responsibility it is to clean up the area and what services are there/nearby, the staffing just isn’t available. Yeah it’s a pretty easy thing to do in theory, but in practice when it becomes “okay and 2 hours of your shift is driving out there and emptying the cans” it’s not a far leap to just “Remove the cans, make the snack stand dispose of their garbage on their own”

I mean I get it, the cans are nice but also, like you’re an adult. Throw your trash away on your own.

“But then people will throw it on the ground!” Okay then pay someone to stand out there and slap every idiot that thinks littering is okay because they couldn’t find a can in 10 seconds.

It’s common decency in plenty of places around the world to take your garbage with you until you find a can. It’s not hard.

I mean that’s part of the thing right? “Who dares wins” is a great mantra until you lose. Nobody can predict the future so a lot of times the greed carries out until it’s literally irreversible. That’s why it’s so important to have people on the other end defending from the greed, from the people that will hoard and take until they die on their pile of gold.

At least for the US there is always a feeling of doom and worry and “it’s going to pop” but until it actually does, the greed will continue to take. That’s part of the system for better or worse. It can’t be stopped, but defending the people from the repercussions of that greed is what we have to do.

There’s always someone that will try to bring too much on the lifeboat. Rules are needed to stop them from sinking the whole ship.

Nonono, he is a fuckwit. You guys just recognize it.
