I am skeptical that most people saying this type of shit really have no concept of the US having freedom of religion and separation of church and state as founding values. They just believe in the rightness of propaganda and catchy ideological phrases above actual truth and reality, because they’ve been conditioned to think that way.
Ah ok that does look like the same guy
I don’t think the guy in the first half of the video is one of the mods, doesn’t seem like they mention anything about his involvement and then at around 3:30 introduces a woman as one of the mods of that sub.
I honestly get it if people don’t want to lose touch, but one thing to do is at least asking people if they can contact you other ways, I’ve asked family members to send me emails instead of facebook messages and they were willing to, it’s obvious at this point to most people why someone would want to quit facebook.
Yeah, I estimated the number of websites on that list and it’s around 100k
I read it some time ago before it was hyped up as much, saw it as a fun and interesting read but yeah a little shallow and action movie esque. It is definitely worth reading for the premise if you are a science fiction fan though, that aspect is solid, and I liked how it gives some details about Chinese culture and history that I wasn’t very familiar with.
To be fair, in the quoted passage the author is explicitly not referring to Bolt, but asking for explanations of specific, probably small scope issues from non-agentic AI tools.
Personally even while in school for CS I spent a large number of hours staring at a screen being totally unsure how to proceed to figure out what I didn’t understand, most of it trivial details, or making random edits and hoping it would fix something. I’m sure there are advantages to learning by stumbling around, but I really don’t think it’s the ideal way unless you’re already a very methodically curious person.
The temptation to jump directly to asking the AI to just do everything for you without yourself understanding it is definitely going to be a stumbling block for people learning, and I’m not sure if there’s a good way around that one, but otoh something available 24/7 that can mostly accurately answer beginner questions in context and as you have worded them seems like it would be crazy helpful, so many times I just wasn’t able to progress until I could get some attention from someone.
various developers have either offered free versions of their games or moved to selling them directly from their own websites while they remain delisted elsewhere.
I wonder if there’s some way to aggregate or maintain an index of these
What is the bill they are talking about and what does it actually do?
Maybe you could look up instances of electricity usage based marijuana raids in your area, and if they list the amount of electricity used that triggered the warrant. Then pick out the smallest number.
The reviewer is not shy about how much they like it
hold them accountable – thus helping ensure a higher standard of online discourse. The U.K.’s Online Safety Act protects minors from mature content, and
A strange thing to use as a positive example
There was pushshift, but it’s locked down since the API thing, there’s pullpush.io, but that seems down atm. Also there is reveddit. I think most or all of these do not store content that has been deleted by the user though.
Doesn’t gmail already do this? I seem to remember there being ‘suggested response’ options before I turned it off in the settings that were definitely AI generated. That option being presented to me creeps me out because you can’t know if what you’re receiving was actually written by the person sending it.
Supposedly there was a bill a few years ago to ban it that narrowly failed.
At this point maybe the best bet would be for blue states to enter the gerrymandering arms race on a conditional basis; do it as blatantly as it’s being done on the other side, with some explicit clause that it will end when fair representation is implemented nationwide.
I have had problems with the drain plumbing downstream of my kitchen sink, because the heat causes the pipes to expand slightly and be longer. My theory is there is some loose wiring in the walls, and your drain pipes press on the loose wiring until they cool down again.
The precedent setting supreme court ruling I’m thinking of is very recent, and there are other recent significant changes to law that could also be relevant. My guess is that the phone calls didn’t make the difference on their own, but rather prompted internal conversations about legal liability given the new landscape and how they should be handling it to best avoid potential damages.
Or if there is any possible ambiguity in the law. I’m thinking it’s possible this has something to do with the recent weakening of constitutional protections for adult content in the US, where censorship by states of somewhat arbitrarily “obscene” content can be deemed illegal. The quote in the article by Valve seems to reference the concept of offensiveness in Mastercard’s policies:
Payment processors rejected this, and specifically cited Mastercard’s Rule 5.12.7 and risk to the Mastercard brand. See https://www.mastercard.us/content/dam/public/mastercardcom/na/global-site/documents/mastercard-rules.pdf.
the rule including the text:
- The sale of a product or service, including an image, which is patently offensive and lacks serious artistic value (such as, by way of example and not limitation, images of nonconsensual sexual behavior, sexual exploitation of a minor, nonconsensual mutilation of a person or body part, and bestiality), or any other material that the Corporation deems unacceptable to sell in connection with a Mark.
So what I’m reading between the lines here is, there is now doubt among the lawyers of credit card companies or the lawyers of their middlemen that these games are for sure legal, and not in violation of obscenity laws that rely on hazy standards of offensiveness.
Props to this article for actually attempting to explain about how 3d graphics worked
