I would rather have them held accountable in the same way that any news outlet or publisher would be held accountable for publishing false information that could have deadly consequences.
It’s only a matter of time before a fifth-grader follows some inane advice because it was the first result from Google and is irreversibly maimed because of it.
Where are all the Helen Lovejoy types when we can actually use them?
Republicans: Cut funding for food assistance programs for poor pregnant women and children!
Also Republicans: Why aren’t women having as many babies now?
Jaffa cakes
I wonder if that level of unmitigated narcissistic rage can precipitate a stroke in a person of advanced age who hasn’t made maintaining his health a priority.
That has to be it, right?
If seeing a piece of cloth is so triggering, then maybe that’s an indicator of a much more deep-rooted problem.
The “Christian men” who protest gay rights the loudest are usually the ones who wind up in the headlines when they get caught soliciting male prostitutes at rest areas.
That is good news. I’ve lost two cats (ages 16 and 18) to kidney disease, so I’m glad to hear there’s some progress in that area.
Maybe this couple could have a happy marriage for 25 or 30 years if this new treatment can keep their kitten’s kidneys working.
I’m okay with that. The bubble is going to burst eventually.
Oh, man, I hope someone tries this.
I know that for contemporary Republican politicians, every accusation against their perceived enemies is an admission of something they’re doing.
I didn’t know that went all the way back to the Satanic Panic.
That was such a trend at a previous job that I started responding to my supervisor’s requests in writing with, “I am currently working on X with a deadline of Y. You have asked me to pivot to Z today. Whatever time I divert to (new request) Z will directly affect delivery on X. Please confirm the order of priority for X and Z.”
If the supervisor’s confirmation was verbal, I would reply with, “Per our conversation, I am <whatever I was told to do>.”
At least then I had receipts in the meeting about why X was behind schedule.
You seem to know this, but for anyone happening on this thread who doesn’t, I’ll spell it out more clearly …
Vance’s statement that he can’t be booed is only true at a military graduation where they must follow the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).
If he were speaking at any public university (or many private ones), the graduates and the audience could have booed to their hearts’ content. And I’m sure that’s part of the very calculated reason why he only gave the one commencement address this year.
That explains why she’s in so many things.
As a person who grew up in a town of 800, this matches my experience. The artists, the creative thinkers, and the smart kids got out as soon as possible.
The people who stayed were the conformists and the people who couldn’t imagine a better life than living in their tiny hometown.
When I go back to visit my family, I see some of them, and they seem happy.
My brother-in-law heard and believed that cats could squeeze into tight places because they have “collapsible skeletons.” Like, they could sense a tight place and detach their bones on demand and pop them back in later.
When I was an undergrad in the late '90s, I got a clerical job in the facilities management (FM) department.
The president of the university had a fleet vehicle as a perk of his job. It was a very nice car that was donated by a local car dealer but since it technically belonged to the university, all maintenance was handled through FM.
Late '90s meant that the stereo had a 5-disc CD changer. And the president’s most frequent complaint about the car was that the stereo didn’t work. Every single time he had that complaint, it was because there were at least two extra CDs stuck in the changer.
You had to really force it to get extra CDs in those things. And that happened at least half a dozen times that I know of.
I hope that every moderate politician across the state loudly proclaims this is obvious evidence that the GOP’s core value is not protecting life but punishing “promiscuous” women who dare to have sex for any reason other than procreation.
This is the same party that is lamenting the country’s birth rate, by the way. They aren’t even pretending to care about women any more.
That was my thought as well. Arms race with abortion protesters. Hooray!
Yes, I’m aware of the original point behind the game. It’s still a bad game.
It’s also a bad educational game, because almost nobody learns the lesson it intends to teach.
I think the price point is where your theory falls apart. The AI companies are spending far more than Netflix and they will need to charge more than the average family can afford in order to turn a profit. (Especially in the US where people are struggling to pay for gas and groceries right now.)
Take a look at the new token-based business services. People are blowing through their monthly allotment in a couple of days doing the same things they had been doing previously. Businesses won’t be able to afford increasing their AI spending by 10x to keep up.
