Sounds like Doctor Death has a subject for another season.

Epstein Visa

Finally a country that sees the reality of the situation.

Hey, I know this one. I’ve had it since I was a small child but didn’t quite know the name.

How are they preventing public release then?

Look it’s either skynet or it fucking isn’t.

I was saying this would happen when I read the announcement. Israel is running the show here.

It seems clear to me that cloud LLMs have the same scaling problems and demand concerns that cloud gaming did.

Oh well, maybe regular people will have to still run software locally after all. 🤷

Just admit, like all people who smoke cigarettes do, that it’s bad for you and that you’ll continue doing it.

I don’t know why people can’t just do this. I drink — sometimes like a fish — and I know it’s not good for me and likely will take years off of my life. But I like it. So oh fucking well.

Nobody deserves it more

People say I’m weird. Okay, I was raised by a very weird family in very weird circumstances, doing my best to be sane and normal in a weird situation.

I feel for you. At least some members of my family are either psychopaths, have narcissistic personality disorder, or both. I think the comorbidity there is pretty common.

The lifelong damage caused by being raised around sociopaths is real — as is the continuing damage from living in a country run by them.

Having empathy in this society run by psychopaths is depressing and anxiety-inducing indeed.

It bleeds into everything in this whole place. You know when you’re using something — a government system, a website, a support line, an application — and it feels like nobody thought about how shitty the experience would be for you? That’s what it feels like to live in a society that has no empathy. The people that design these systems do not give a shit about how you’ll feel being subjected to them, because they have no empathy and have never considered nor cared what your experience would be like.

This is fine IMO, because you shouldn’t use the smart features in the first place. Just get a 3rd party streaming box. The ONN one is like $25. (Or if you’re a giant nerd hook your computer to your TV.)

It does. I wound up buying two new TVs because of the thing OP is talking about here. You could actually get around agreeing and then opting out by removing the TV from the network and then restoring it to factory and never reconnecting it.

Yep, I don’t even really like these things, but ollama is a docker container away and the models work just fine on my several year old AMD laptop GPU.

Where do you guys live? Is it America? Because I kinda feel like in America I’m never surprised that someone drove drunk.

(Especially before Uber.)

Meanwhile, here I am learning how to type em dashes manually on my work MacBook.

I remember ratio FTP sites

(I also remember how to make them look like you’re uploading a lot quickly using a 14.4k modem…by uploading files full of null bytes and using the compression to your advantage.)

It’s vibes and concepts of a plan all the way down

Same

Follow the money. I think Talarico is at least trying to run a small donor funded campaign. Crockett was taking Israel’s money and kicking unfavorable media out of her campaign events and denying it afterwards. I don’t really believe in the existence of “blue maga” – I think it’s like searching for the “leader” of “antifa” – but she’s one of the closer things I’ve seen to it.
