Wow. I guess it isn't just "one woman".

I once worked with a guy named Michael who would get bent when you called him Mike. As you can imagine he could be tricky to work with and, on those occasions, I would call him Mike. I repeatedly misnamed him on purpose, it wouldn't have even made HR bat an eye. So, your career at Dell didn't go as well as you'd hoped. Being a jerk isn't illegal, AFAIK, but at some point you run out of other people to blame for the c…
Here is an extreme example. I'm not Jewish, so if we had a holocaust in the US I should do nothing because it doesn't affect me? Hmmm, not sure I like that line of thinking. Plus, I already outlined how it affects me and my family members, one of which runs track in CT. Seriously though, I did get an LOL from your Dell joke. And another one for "addressable hormonal issues". That was a new one for me. I am truly curi…
I am truly curious about the voter role thing, I've not heard that claim before, though I have no doubt that sexual derangement comes in all forms. Can you cite a source?
Hard to find a source you'd likely accept, but maybe start here: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/04/from-hastert-to-...
It's one of those cases where it's safe to say "Do your own research," because the outcome will be unequivocal if considered in good faith (meaning if you don't rely solely on right-wing sources for the "research.") The stats aren't even close.

I think we're pretty much done here. Good luck on your own path through life, it sounds like a challenging one.

When did people start to use “folks” in this unnatural way.
Colloquially, earliest use is 1715 to address members of ones tribe or family. In Middle English it tended to refer to the people/nation.
Somehow it doesn’t feel like a callback, but I suppose it’s possible.

Thanks. It's been pretty good so far. Just good clean living, no complaints.

> This doesn't mean we shouldn't have cars. Why though? I can't see how modern technology's impact on human life has been a net positive. See the book Technological Slavery: https://ia800300.us.archive.org/21/items/tk-Technological-Sl...
I've never seen another person mention this book! This book was one of the most philosophically thought provoking books I think I've ever read, and I read a fair amount of philosophy. I disagree with the author's conclusion that violence is justified. I think we're just stuck, and the best thing to do is live our lives as best as possible. But much like Marxists are really good at identifying the problems of capitali…
Yeah, anti-technologism is so niche of an idea yet entirely true. So obvious that is hidden in plain sight, that it’s technology and not anything else that is the cause of so many problems of today. So inconvenient that it’s even unthinkable for many. After all, technology _is_ what if not convenience? Humanity lived just fine, even though sometimes with injustice and corruption, there was never a _need_ for it. It’s not the solution to those problems or any other problem. I also don’t agree that violence is justified by the justifications of the author, even though I think it’s justified by other things and under other conditions.

What makes you think a right wing spook wouldn't want the wedge issue of gender conformity front and center in people's minds?
So, if the right got their way and the answer was "a woman is an adult female human", it would be a vast right wing conspiracy. But if it says a woman is "anything that identifies as a woman", then it's still a vast right wing conspiracy?
I'm just calling into doubt the assumption that the poster I replied to made: that openAI can't possibly be aligning with the goals of a conservative intelligence community if it has the outward appearance of promoting some kind of left wing political view. It's simply a bad assumption. That's not to say their goals are, as a matter of fact, aligned in some conspiracy, because I wouldn't know if they were.

I used to agree with what you're saying, but after reading this leaked Google memo I think maybe we're both wrong: https://www.semianalysis.com/p/google-we-have-no-moat-and-ne... Experts who are both in a position to know, and seeking to maximize the commercial potential of their work are saying the cat is already out of the bag. They make a persuasive case that public, open-source models are closing the gap with pri…
Interesting, but Google has the worlds largest search index to use to build models, and billions of android phones and gmail accounts. An open source model may share the same algorithm but it’s possible training set will be dwarfed by Google. It even might have the same number of connections. The article is arguing that a few billion is enough, but what about 5 years from now and even for fewer connections data quali…
The site isn't down. It's censored. Look at the link address.

> relatively small number of others who were born with certain unfortunate but addressable hormonal issues
Most males who adopt an opposite-sex identity reach that point through repeated erotic stimulation. This is a psychological issue, driven by sexual desire.

It's completely free. No tokens nothing.
But it can't be used unless I enable billing, which I am not willing to do after reading all the horror stories about people getting billed thousands overnight. I'm not willing to take the risk that I forget some script and it keeps creating charges.
Use a CC or debit that can limit charges. Privacy.com is a generic one. There’s others. Also Capital One, Bank of America, Apple Card and maybe some others have some semblance of control over temporary CCs.
Ideally one would want to be able to have a cap on the amount that can be spent in a given period.
Thanks for this! I had a temporary Cap One card on my cloud accounts. I’m going to switch them to Privacy.com ones to limit amount if I can’t find another solution.
