I know 2 of those I think. I don’t know what c through w is referring to though

This might be one of the best summaries of LLMs in their current state I’ve seen here. People claiming they’re useless are stuck in 23’ but to say they’re at AGI/ASI is accelerationist techo-paganism.

Based and levelheaded take

Totally unrelated but another post on here is of a news article that uses precisely the same thumbnail as this one to describe how Ukraine is considering taxing porn to fund defense.

Ehhh,

Eehhhhh

I see what you did there.

They know, it’s used to self incriminate and filter out people that won’t lie under pressure.

Guix.

Try Guix. It’s great.

Not being engaged in politics is synonymous with not being engaged in life.

Politics is “of the people”, unless you’re living alone in a cave in the middle of the woods and never using anything you didn’t yourself make or extract, you are engaged in politics. Every time you interact with literally anything, ever, at all, for any reason, you are doing something political.

My biggest complaint about modern neo liberalism is the cultural work it’s done to convince people “politics” is not synonymous “existence”.

I’m afraid you’ll have to get over that hangup. Considering how politics literally means “of the people”

Thankfully it’s bad enough now that a plurality of young people can’t own property.

My wife and I just had our first, we both make engineer salaries, we can’t afford a home.

Now, to be clear, that’s a good thing; private property is theft. I myself don’t have any interest in home ownership but the fact that even we can’t hopefully ensures that the working class is sufficiently poor enough not be lulled back into complacency.

The bourgeois won’t give up capital without a, literal, fight and the proletariat need to be sufficiently desperate to take it by force.

It’s always refreshing to read something that I can be 100% sure was not written by an AI.

That is fun to know!

With regards to why the culture hasn’t changed. To be honest nuclear power is really safe. We used to play little thought experiments on the boat about how we would get a meltdown to happen and it’s hard

It goes beyond safety systems and automatic protective actions. The design of the cores themselves makes it so you have to jury rig a situation where you get prompt criticality (reactor criticality due entirely to prompt neutrons vice delayed+prompt; very very bad). Frankly operators are there for regulatory reasons; nuclear operations are so safe and formulaic you could run a 1GW plant with ~3 people total given all the available automations.

So why change the culture? The program has literally never had an incident in 70 years of operation. Not one fission product release in close to a century. We have no blood to write rules in.

You don’t want to know about the number of times a fast recovery has been done asleep or a full plant startup is done by an RO who is actively blackout drunk.

We all have, at least, one of those stories.

Yeah that’s… Not how the Navy does things.

Sleep deprivation is the norm across the Navy, particularly in the engineering community and particularly in nuclear engineering.

I would commonly go 36 hours without sleep, generally a few times a month. People keep this up for decades.

A few of the erdos problems have been independently verified. It’s legit.

This is what I’m saying. Political violence is 100% a valid form of protest.

It’s not the first pick, more like second or third, but we’re WELL past that point.

Loving the recent “New York is a part of New England” trend.

A joint northeastern political identity will help with soft balkanization.

As entertaining as that would be, no.

BUT, I do think he would be willing to violate the constitution in order to attack political enemies.

Listen I know the talking points whatever GS-13 you work for gave to you imply people don’t have an appetite for this but take a look at the recent polling.

Most of Platner’s voters supported him staying in.

I don’t think he cares about non-whites like you may. I think he hates capitalists, or billionaires, or whatever homunculus he’s created in his mind that embodies the ruling class. That’s useful; a bitter, violent man with a grudge. That’s good, that’s very good. The US war machine is built off the backs of people like him for a reason.

I think given the opportunity he would be an asset in harming US imperial interests. He’s an angry killer and we gave him something to go after. I’m starting to notice a lot of “leftists” don’t have the stomach for the kinds of things were going to have to do to bring every single fascist in this country to heel.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, don’t you have like an hourly report to be sending to your supervisor fed boy?

His opponent is complicit in genocide and the fascist takeover of the united States.

Precisely how many white women need to be raped to be equivalent to that? It sounds like one. This is simple utilitarian calculus. He represented more net good than his opponent. We have all collectively agreed, based on this race, that genocide and fascism are fine as long as no white women are hurt.
