Trump is actively killing democracy. Some Democratic politicians have chosen the most pathetic, inexcusable response possible: bland indifference.
I’m torn between fear that our government will collapse, and the cynical realization that maybe it deserves to.
I’m beginning to think that the concept of “the greatness of yesteryear” is almost as old as humankind.
Nothing defines him and his associates/fanboys better than that statement. To me, showing empathy and acting on it is the most beneficial thing one can do for humanity.
I think this is one of the reasons conservatives hate college. Impressionable students might develop empathy, and we certainly can’t have that.
Then Musk needs to stop hailing Starship as the next great thing. He doesn’t get to talk about how awesome it is, then, when it goes boom, say “oopsie, still testing, and you’re dumb for expecting otherwise”.
They ought to rethink that. There was enough wrong that it sounds like an immediate danger to the crew. Hell, in the US, just "inadequate” alarms and fire doors “not as required” would be enough to close a building until they were fixed.
What do these people consider an “immediate danger”, anyway? A ship that’s actually sinking or burning at the time of inspection?
Port inspection documents show the Solong failed steering-related safety checks in Dublin, Ireland, in July, with the vessel’s “emergency steering position communications/compass reading” unreadable. Inspectors found a total of 10 deficiencies, including “inadequate” alarms, survival craft “not properly maintained” and fire doors “not as required.”
An inspection in Scotland in October found two other deficiencies. The ship wasn’t detained after either inspection.
Maritime law is a mystery to me. Who the fuck okayed this?
“Bon voyage, losers! The ship is a floating death trap, but whatever.”
That was the first thing I thought, too, but thankfully he was charged by British police!
She’s either an idiot or did this intentionally, and I don’t think she’s an idiot. Plus, all the edibles I’ve bought have had dosage recommendations on the packaging (although, to be fair, I’ve only bought edibles in recent years. I don’t know what the labeling was like in 2014).
Further, any half-decent dispensary will be staffed by people eager to help and give newbies some valuable advice. I suspect that Dowd didn’t even try to ask for help, and may even have posed as an experienced user.
It’s like some demented court stenographer’s horror fanfic.
Sure am glad I couldn’t afford one of those things back when I wanted one.
Well, at least you own it!
Trump praised Schumer on Truth Social, writing: “Congratulations to Chuck Schumer for doing the right thing – Took ‘guts’ and courage!”
If Trump is praising you, YOU’RE DOING THE WRONG THING.
If you’re still in Texas, and not a furry, GTFO before they criminalize something YOU think is normal and harmless.
OOOOOH. I’m sorry. I misunderstood. Thanks for explaining!
Instead of breaking my tablet or exceeding the character limit, I’ll only say this once: HA!
You don’t need to know where they’re seeing this or why it’s such a concern. This is No Stupid Questions. It’s not a requirement that they justify their question to your satisfaction. Their question had nothing to do with the temperament of users, either.
Well, most of humanity has been sexist since time out of mind. Even if AIs are trained on nothing but objective data, they can’t help but mirror our sexist society. They must be carefully programmed to show society as it could be, instead of how it is. At the same time, they have to keep facts right - like the number of fingers on a hand, for example.
Even then, I’m sure we’ll encounter problems. AIs do not “think” in ways we understand.
