People would have to kneel, in order to do so. It’s about humiliation and asserting dominance, in weak mentalities.

What is that?

Don’t have one. Can’t.

The US is on the verge of collapse, in my view. Make use of your 2nd. Everyone is tired of hearing about it.

The US system baffles me.

No way an unelected individual would take office in my country.

If the president dies, the national assembly president assumes the role, internally, and is mandated, by force of law, to schedule elections to within 90 days.

The only time an unelected person was nominated for a government role in this country ended terribly, with the president disbanding the national assembly and scheduling elections in less than 30 days after the apointment and the appointment had been aproved by the national assembly.

Amazing how a simple request can be ill-interpreted.

Being grown doesn’t imply we can’t be silly. Or that we are implicitly serious just because we’re grown.

Shit… I’ve been a tech worker all this time? Because except for the gun part, that’s me. But I prefer heavy solid objects to deliver destruction onto appliances.

Highly influential culture? It’s a fantasy work, not the cure to cancer. But I’ll agree on one thing: corporations are not people; they should be paying to the original creator(s) an efty cut of their profits, from their derivative works.

So you create whatever work. You have exclusive rights to it, let’s say for the sake of the argument, 10 years. During that time you never get any return from your work. But after you can no longer claim your rights, someone, perhaps even a company, stumbles on it - or perhaps they just carefully and patiently waited for it - takes it and capitalizes off it, with you watching and sucking your thumb.

No.

If you, an individual, creates something, you have the right to hold your intelectual property. What should be repelled is how easy it is to exploit artists, of any medium.

I’m very critic of the AI craze. Too much hype, money, time,energy and effort put in to get very little from it. And considering most LLMs are trained on stolen intelectual property, that makes it even worse.

LLMs are tools. The people using such tools give it personality, a semblance of agency, see what is not there and start to consider a tool a form of life.

I’ve seen people pour so much of them into a local model, the bot develops a quasi clone of their personality. But the program is not the person.

Please, stop making bots what they are not.

Nice.

This reminds me: weren’t pet rocks a thing at a certain time?

You’re describing me but I am not autistic. Can we again just say it is just a bad idea all together.

How come?

AI models to “aid” in court, listening to witnesses in order to assert if said person is telling the truth or lying are being proposed in my country.

Argument: it will speed up trials, declogging the justice system by extension.

Most lawyers are horrified, as well some judges.

Meanwhile, a judge as been suspended and reprimanded for using AI tools to write his decisions for him.

Yes, the bot did allucinate arguments and used argumentation in common law style, while my country is civil law model.

The dude is drunk. To the point he forgets when he is.

I’m going to risk his then hot girlfriend/now wife read that message and got a pinch of miffed just by knowing he was drunk.

I still say it’s a sweet thing to read. Drunk and nonetheless still in love for his signficant other? Precious.

That’s sweet. If the guy still sees her as his girlfriend, when drunk, the right feeling is still there. And if he get’s excited for knowing she’s his wife presently, that’s even better.

But I’m going to risk things a bit off between them. That reply sounded a bit miffed, from the wife.

Depends on the dog, the available space and how they’re cared for.

I take care of two shepperd dogs and they just love to spend their day sleeping and lazying around. Morning walk I almost need to beg them to get out of bed. End of the day walk, they’re fine. But these are two lazy ladies. My partner, their godfather, was always up for a long walk, come sun or rain.

No fountain pens?
