Yes, they wouldn’t use an incorrect word. But look at NBC coverage of the tea party pushing the GOP rightward.

Not a single use of the word insurgent, even though it also makes sense to do so here.

And maybe we don’t talk uncritically about news posted from the goddamn Post. The post can say whatever the fuck they want, I ain’t listening to that conservative rag


Include SUVs in your computation and rerun the numbers. Yes, the big fuck off trucks are still a minority, but they push everything bigger the bigger they get. And bigger is the only thing they’re getting.
I drive a MINI, bought it in 2018. Then, I was comfortably in the majority of car sizes (new minis are comfortable hatchbacks). Now, there’s maybe 10% of cars that I’m comparable to, everything else has windows with bottoms that are at or above my roofline.


Frontovers is the highest growing category of accident. They’re happening because people can’t see small children over the hood of their emotional support freedom truck, orphan crushing model.
Yes, cell phones but mostly lack of visibility.


Do have local reps with FPTP voting systems? Then you too are at risk of minority control of government. Be sure to ask your representative about RCV, Star, or MMP voting today!


Some error with crossposting comment logic, looks like


Rick Scott defrauded Medicare for $1.7 Billion, and that was in the 90s. Where are his handcuffs?


Nah, they’re addicted to being first and everyone’s running this race so you gotta race faster than them. They know a collapse is coming, but those only affect poors and the collapse will make subsequent investing much cheaper.
If you’re thinking about consequences, you’re not doing capitalism well enough to be on top anyways.


Proof: a picture of Trump supporters supporting an invasion of Hong Kong
Devastated, I’m devastated /s
Stop calling anyone you think is wrong a liberal. It’s embarrassing, man. Stop doing team sports shit and talk to people


Yes! Push the cold war narrative! Manufacture that consent, baby! /s
America shot itself in the foot attempting to harm other countries. Other countries not bleeding as much as them isn’t really news, but okay.


Remember kids! Fascist boots on the ground are the domain of peaceful transitions of power! It’s only when those terroristic militaries come marching in that there’s a problem! /s
Crackdowns in Hong Kong and the arrests of prodemocracy movements ain’t peaceful, bruv


Yes, I do. I’m living it, man


Yeah, man. Jobs now require you to use them and health insurance is predicated on you having a job. Yet again, the American oligarchs can force their way, regardless of what we want.


This is a complete misread of what this means. Drones are used to kill people, not other drones. Drones are last priority targets in basically all cases except for strategic defensive positions. This switch means more death at the hands of less (or no) people. It’s like arguing that nukes are good because they’re so destructive that they’ll end war. Which is the opposite of what they did, wars just became proxy wars in an attempt to drain your adversary of resources, instead of direct conflict to stop them. We have more international conflict now than at any point in human history. This will make that even worse.


is a bug, not a feature
Umm, excuse me. We’re delivering 400 points worth of story work with 40 points worth of dev time. Do you think that that’s somehow a bad thing? Our budget is stretching further than ever! (Once we figure out how to reduce token costs) /s
The issue is more that the triangle of code that works, code that scales well, and code that’s cheap will always, ALWAYS, prioritize works and is cheap, even if every action taken from then on costs more to make. I’ve been on a team that focused effort on keeping scalability a priority and every single thing we tried got kneecapped to “keep to the budget”.


Oh! You think they plan things. Think tanks definitely have wish lists, but the admin just does whatever, switching as fast as possible between them so that news of one rides over the news of others.
The issue with framing it as just distraction is that that language feeds into the idea that this is a smokescreen for something else that’s actually important. They’re both important, just timed to take air from each other in the media space. It’s like a magician robbing a guy and using the illegal demolition of a building he wanted destroyed as the distraction. Both acts are things that are important to the person making the decisions, but one is definitely going to be the bigger attention grabber.


I don’t disagree. Most generative AI models are some variant on “plagiarism machine”, but categorizing and identifying data are extremely useful things that AI does.
LLMs are good at quickly generating code, but the issue in software is rarely how fast humans can write code. In fact, more speed with less understanding is a really bad combination (I am a developer working DevOps and anecdotally I see way more large scale bugs now than I did 5 years ago).
Agentic AI is, unfortunately, just an LLM pretending to be a person, and that’s a really bad thing. Like so incredibly bad. Did you know that humans are statistically more likely to make mistakes when under pressure? Cause the LLMs sure do. Create a narrative of pressure and the LLM cracks like a rotten egg. Cause that’s more statistically likely!


Not a paradox. It plagiarizes because it isn’t capable of creating thoughts. It creates statistically likely combinations of tokens. Those “statistically likely” models were made by stealing a whole bunch of information.
The model hallucinates because it doesn’t actually know what any of the tokens mean, just that they exist in a likely probability space.
If you took two papers about a very similar subject, copied them both out in their entirety, then replaced similar phrases from one copy into the other, the resultant paper would both contain inaccuracies and would be plagiarism. That’s the same thing ai does, except the copies are the sum total of the digitized human written work. Increasing the number of sources you’re plagiarizing from doesn’t magically make it not plagiarism!


Hmmmm, not much actual use for the hallucinating plagiarism machine, but I do see your point.
I don’t give a fuck what the Cato Institute finds. They can shut the fuck up and get back to gargling Newt Gingrich’s balls while he’s still breathing.
