“The world’s most expensive barge” isn’t nearly the flex Putin wants it to be. Hell, I work retail. Gimme a pricing gun, and I can sell you the world’s most expensive anything.

Plus, their new sub might be really cool, but unless it’s in the Black Sea, it’s not doing shit to Ukraine.

It’s not the general public’s fault that AI was released before it was ready for prime time. It’s not like the word “slop” was picked out of a hat, either. AI earned the word with its laughably bad output.

I’ll make the CEO a deal, though. If AIs stop producing slop, I won’t call it slop anymore.

Microsoft Copilot is the tip of the spear for the firm, powered entirely by ChatGPT and Microsoft’s savvy early investments in OpenAI.

“Savvy”? Really? I think it’s years too early to make that assessment.

Indeed, in closing, Nadella seems to admit that AI doesn’t truly have “societal permission” right now, referencing widespread backlash and mockery that continues to dog the technology.

What kind of “permission” is he looking for? Permission to steal and ignore copyright? Permission to build untold numbers of data centers and do vast environmental damage? Permission to lie and sell a substandard product? He probably wants all three, and more.

Don’t take it personally. There are a million reasons he might not want to use facebook trash anymore. Plus, there was no way for him to be sure that it was really you.

Edit: he also may have seen your question as potentially doxxing. Instead of being concerned, try being glad he did the safe thing. While you’re at it, be proud of yourself for reaching out to an old friend!

AI “training” is theft from human artists. Ban AI-gen completely.

I can’t pick the funniest aspect here, but the sleeveless shirt and jacket deserve a mention.

We’ve been told for generations that the Democrats are “left”, so many people have accepted it as truth. Repetition is powerful, especially when it’s been going on since before you were born, and your parents and grandparents believe it, too.

Not enough of us realize that Democrats aren’t “left”; they’re just not as obviously, painfully “right” as Republicans.

I hate our two-party system.

Third option: there are dissenting opinions, but people have also read your replies to other comments. They don’t want to be insulted or get into a tedious debate.

This is an interesting detail that I wasn’t aware of. Russia will be more eager to end the war quickly if their logistics goes to shit. Of course, that means more than one base, but it’s nice to think about.

Orbán can go fuck himself

I think it’s especially funny when White Jesus also has blue eyes

Amazing article. Thanks for sharing!

With subtitles, too, so I know what the hell they’re saying! Great song! Thanks

It might as well be; it’s just more culturally specific

I like this analogy

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE CONTAINS POTENTIALLY LETHAL AMOUNTS OF SARCASM:

I’m sure this will be a complete success, and I see no downsides.

That’s a good question, and it deserves a better answer than I can provide

If you hate Putin’s bullying of Ukraine, definitely watch this video. It’s only 20 minutes, and it’ll make your day.

If you’re a fan of Putin, just keep your head buried in the sand.

If a perishable product comes in an opaque plastic container, that’s a deliberate choice. Always be suspicious of it.

You reminded me of one of my favorite quotes. I bet your wife will like it too:

“Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it.” - Mark Twain

I’m definitely not pushing my wife in any direction, just listening and supporting.

I hope your wife realizes how lucky she is
