I mean not really if you want someone to operate on your heart you are old or someone to bring your groceries or drive you around etc

her manager let her work <3 <3 <3

awwwwww what truly great person

capitalism truly spurs competition and innovation

Israel needs to stop the hostilities

Call it by what it really is, genocide. Radical islam is empowered by genocidal maniacs that go and destroy people’s families and livelihoods.

lol I bet this idiocy is even beyond Putin’s wildest dreams.

How many butts do the mice have?

wow havent seen anything this moody in a long while

makes the genocide much more fun

wtf? why is everyone turning techbro all of a sudden even those who are supposed to be more knowledgeable on such stuff. Oh right because there is a bubble to sustain.

Hello, I heard there is a Planescape club here. Recently replayed it. Can confirm it’s not nostalgia, old games are better.

For sure, about %90 of them voted No to Sander’s stop weapon sale to Israel resolution. They are worthless pieces of shits which would switch to the republican party at the blink of an eye had they thought their position in the Democrat party was insecure.

If I thought that the democrat party was the only viable option to defeat Trump would I vote for democrats instead of say, voting a third party? Without a second of doubt, yes. We don’t even need to debate whether the Democrat party is marginally better than the Republican party or not. The main important difference is that if Trump wins (which he did) half of the country is going to cheer for every vile shit he does (which they do) and this will enable them to carry this vile shit into their personal lives (which they also do).

On the other hand if Kamala were to do such vile shit (granted there is imo %0 chance she could be this worse on almost all matters) at least she would get booed by the people who voted for her. There is a very big difference between how much these reactions enable a president to do even more extreme shit or not and whether if people are encouraged to replicate such behaviour on a local level or not.

So instead of waiting until the last 90 days and then suddenly going “DON’T VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICANS LETS CHANGE THE COURSE OF HISTORY WOHOO”, start working from now to make the third options more viable. Then it will be more sincere and useful.

about the racist part: it is a bit like saying women should cover their head it will protect from men staring at them. very slippery slope

nobody can expect malintent from a british gentleman’s or lady’s accent

I already don’t use airbnb but booking.com? Almost all holidays. That would be really hard to replace. Does anyone have any alternatives (other than directly calling the hotels obv)? I guess one could atleast minimally search from booking.com and then first check if the hotels you are interested in have their own online reservation systems. But it will probably be much less guaranteed than booking.com and one could easily end up with a holiday ruined and a mere apology for “making a reservation mistake”

take a chill pill

I would find it hard to believe if Jessica Rabbit wasn’t somewhere there, probably 6? Although the hair style doesn’t quite match.

It is indeed a complicated problem with many intertwined variables, wouldn’t wanna be in the shoes of policy makers (assuming that they actually are searching for an honest solution and not trying to turn this into profit lol).

For instance too much regulation on fields like this essentially would kill high quality open source AI tools and make most of them proprietary software leaving the field in the mercy of tech monopolies. This is probably what these monopolies want and they will surely try to push things this way to kill competition (talk about capitalism spurring competition and innovation!). They might even don the cloak of some of these bad actors to speed up the process. Given the possible application range of AI, this is probably even more dangerous than flooding the internet with revenge porn.

%100 freedom, no regulations will essentially lead to a mixed situation of creative and possibly ground breaking uses of the tech vs many bad actors using the tech for things like scamming, disinformation etc. how it will balance out on the long run is probably very hard to predict.

I think two things are clear, 1-both extremities are not ideal, 2- between the two extremities %100 freedom is still the better option (the former just exchanges many small bad actors for a couple giant bad actors and chokes any possible good outcomes).

Based on these starting with a solution closer to the “freedom edge” and improving it step by step based on results is probably the most sensible approach.

I guess the point is this enables the mass production of revenge porn essentially at a person on the street level which makes it much harder to punish and prevent distribution. when it is relatively few sources that produces the unwanted product then only punishing the distribution might be a viable method. But when the production method becomes available to the masses then the only feasible control mechanism is to try to regulate the production method. It is all a matter of where is the most efficient position to put the bottle neck.

For instance when 3D printing allows people to produce automatic rifles in their homes “saying civil use of automatic rifles is illegal so that is fine” is useless.
