Really? That’s funny, I seem to remember the DNC canceling the primary last election. Huh. Odd for a party where, “the voters decide who makes up the party”.

Empathy for others should be a legal requirement

That’s exactly how I curate my feed. Do you have any idea how many sports sublemmies my instance has? It’s the Midwest. It was a lot.

Bring back guilds.

I could go either way on this. Having a bunch of armed people and vehicles running around unfamiliar territory basically guarantees you’re gonna have accidents. Heck, people die during training in as controlled an environment as we can manage.

OTOH, that amount of accidents compared to only a few acknowledged combat losses is a bit suss.

This will last right up until all the right-wingers get pissed they’re being identified as teenagers based on their 5th grade writing level.

I’ve heard Element and Root talked about for those purposes. Haven’t tried them myself yet. My friend group talked about resurecting our long-dead Mumble server, but that’s a last-ditch option.

Good.

Good post.

Cope harder lmfao

• “Hmm, this seems like a good idea”.
• Supported by a bunch of AI business groups.
• “…this seems like less of a good idea.”

EDIT: So after reading the bill, I can see the following problem:

It limits any level of government from restricting the private use of AI tech unless it meets a relatively high bar of legality and specificity. Remember that private use refers to both personal and business use. This means that e.g. a township could NOT decide to ban datacenters due to environmental concerns, water use, etc. They would need to prove a specific datacenter was ‘creating common law nuisances’ AND that they had exhausted other legal options before they could create any legal restrictions on that specific datacenter (let alone a blanket restriction). The law technically allows for other ‘compelling government interests’, but fails to list them… meaning it could be challenged in court and would be completely open to a judge’s decision. Basically this creates a legal environment where datacenters have a right to operate and any attempt to regulate them would be fraught with the risk of expensive court cases.

Pro-business legislation dressed up as personal rights. Never change, Montana.

ITT: people who haven’t seen the movie, I guess.

I celebrate Kirk’s murder precisely because I have empathy. I am fully aware of the harm Kirk and his ilk have caused. How many women were sexually assaulted because their rapists were motivated by Kirk? How many minorities were discriminated against or had hate crimes perpetrated against them because of Charlie ‘I Think Empathy Isn’t Real’ Kirk? It is impossible to have empathy for people and not hate Kirk’s guts.

Automatic discounting of anything you’re saying because of use of LLM slop. Jesus fucking Christ dude, why are you coming into a situation where people are looking for clarity and feeding them garbage from the Hallucination Machine? Be better.

WE WILL DRAIN THE RIVERS DRY TO QUENCH OUR THIRST

10 bucks says a student is gonna slam a door too hard or light up in school or whatever, and one of these Child Skull Destroyers is gonna absolutely merc them.

That sounds like a ‘them’ problem. Veganism is based.

Well you’re cranky, aintcha.
