This and a comment under it start with the exact same sentence. “Faith in elections and election integrity is incredibly important.” There’s something wrong here and it makes me do…

Nope, onions, cilantro, and lime, then armageddon

Did they not even test their AI detection tool to verify that it can detect when something is human written? That should have been exactly as important as the opposite. Maybe a too…

Please correct me if I’m wrong but it’s my understanding he didn’t start the fire that burned much of the Palisades; he started a fire that was put out (or at least was claimed to …

Thanks, I didn’t recall

I think it was Call of Duty 2 (when the franchise was still WW2-based) when they would show, in my recollection, an anti-war message including this one every time your character di…

It wasn’t even accepted that an asteroid killed the dinosaurs until early 1990s

250k must be chump change compared to what they gained then

This is honestly very interesting. I bought a condo that was pre-equipped with Casetas and due to the crappy app I thought “these are budget and terrible” but actually reflecting n…

I imagine you couldn’t keep pushing deadlines out indefinitely like we can in American software companies.

Unpaywalled link has been posted already

Ability to write wasn’t the original literacy! It’s about reading. If you can’t read code or commentary about code how are you supposed to write good code or formulate new ideas ab…

Usually someone will come along and post a link that gets around the paywall.

I just don’t understand how this kind of thing can be legal. How can you say “I’m running a gambling game, and if you’re not that good at it you can bet as much as you want and los…

Should be “every day.” “Everyday” is an adjective describing things that are normal or commonplace. And yes I will die on this hill

Is confabulation different from hallucination? If not I do suppose this is a more accurate term for the phenomenon except that the exact definition isn’t common sense without looki…

I believe this is a personal problem of the author. I see a lack of self-control and self-determination where he is doing more of what his social group and technology want/enable r…

Eef it’s a scary premise that each country has an AI mouthpiece trained on exactly what that country wants its citizens to be told. Under most regimes this is a bad idea
