LLMs are not and will never be good enough to replace human labor. Augment it, sure, and that could lead to fewer jobs but that’s not generally what happens. They are, however, good enough for execs to think they can replace human labor.

Well geez, ok. It’s a podcast I enjoy listening to.

In-depth update from last year: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-sixteenth-minute-of-fame-172216473/episode/suck-my-dick-and-balls-i-198420059/

Nothing? The ACLU is great. Not sure what OP means here.

They’ve been accusing him of being too grabby with his women co-stars (no evidence of this, and the co-stars in question say he isn’t) and whining that he’s just in too many movies/shows these days (no more than other prolific actors). Smells like astroturfing and surprise, it is.

We The People Dissent has been posting lists of virtual protest opportunities for No Kings as well!

They’re going after everyone, they don’t need an excuse. Fuck them, I’ll be public about what I’m doing to oppose them.

There are some articles about his death linked on Wikipedia but they’re pretty just-the-facts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Kyanka

I switched to standing-only for my work desk about 12 years ago. The first 3 weeks were agony; my hips hurt so much. I stretched a lot, which helped some. Then suddenly it was easy, and ever since I can stand for hours, no problem.

A squishy mat is a must-have, and I also have a footrest to be able to change up my posture through the day.

I think he also genuinely can’t comprehend anyone doing anything that isn’t for personal gain.

Yeah, she still seems like a terrible person but probably the least terrible of this whole crew. Certainly less terrible than SBF.

Yeah, for the last couple of years at the food bank when they give out soy or canola oil plenty of people turn it down and say they don’t use seed oil because it’s toxic. People are missing out on perfectly good food because of these clowns. (I don’t like the taste of canola oil but I’ll still use it if it’s what’s available)

No, the mods will just get constant streams of false positive flags they have to clear.

Yeah, I edited the post to call that out specifically

That’s not what the article is about. Stack Overflow has kept content that Luigi created up, but removed his username, in violation of Creative Commons. Edited the post to make that more clear.

Preemptive compliance.

Do you have other examples? Because the article gave an example of a similar account that was not anonynized like this. Sure, accounts are often taken down, but the content isn’t left up.

At a certain point, even with an ever-expanding number of lanes, everyone having their car becomes limiting not freeing. Because we’re all on the roads all at the same time all the time, it takes longer to get places and we have to spend more of our time planning on the off-chance there might be traffic because a short drive to Tacoma could be 30 minutes or 2 hours. It doesn’t make you feel free to do what you want, because everyone else is also using their freedom to the point that everything is clogged and backed up all the time and everyone is so tired of it all they’ve taken to driving like maniacs since the pandemic.

This is what toxic individualists don’t understand about collectivism: sacrificing a little bit of freedom can get you more freedom in the long run. I sacrifice the freedom to kill random people and in exchange I get freedom from most of the fear of being randomly murdered. I sacrifice the freedom to throw mercury in the garbage and I gain freedom from mercury poisoning. I sacrifice the freedom of driving straight out of my driveway onto a big ugly stroad and I gain the freedom to walk safely out of my front door onto a nice quiet street.
