Not really true though. Computers are still better at math. They’re even pretty good at coding, if you count compiling high-level code into assembly as coding.
But in this case we built a language machine to respond to language with more language. Of course it’s not going to do great at other stuff.
Are there even any indigenous people in Tarzan? I haven’t read the book, but from the movie I only remember his gorilla buddy and the little elephant. I think Tarzan is more about rebelling against civilization in general, instead of colonization in specific (which James Cameron’s Avatar is). It’s very post-industrialization in that sense.
Edit: Whoops, just read the synopsis on Wikipedia. I don’t think Tarzan is the white saviour you’re looking for…
My Gimp workflow heavily involves Inkscape for that reason. If you need shapes, curves, text, moving stuff around, even scaling and rotating, Inkscape is much better. It’s only when I actually have to edit something in an existing image that I open Gimp. And sometimes when I need a complicated guideline, I’ll create it in Inkscape, export to png, import in Gimp, just so I don’t have to use the shape tool.
We live in a society
I think Greek mythology is well-known around the world, but not many languages pronounce the poor man’s name as uh-kill-ease.
Are there other types of percolators? I thought the recirculation and constant heating of the reservoir were required features.
Couldn’t they just move .io to a different category? Or are TLDs never reused once they lose their original designation?
To be honest, Ariana Grande had it properly translated, but she missed that it was also a kind of grill in Japan. She probably should have stayed away from Japanese in this case, because there’s just no great way to phrase “7 rings” without invoking the grill. I wouldn’t do it for the aesthetics of the kanji either, 七 is the ugliest one imo.
Edit: Actually, I think she could have fixed it quite cleanly. I’m no expert on Japanese, but counting is done a little differently than in English. 七輪 is very literally “seven rings”, but it actually has a very general sense “seven ring-shaped objects” and you’d normally qualify what object you’re talking about exactly. So if the meaning is supposed to be “seven rings (jewelry)”, you could write 七輪の指輪 “seven rings (general) of rings (jewelry)”. That’s an addition to the original tattoo that would eliminate the “grill” sense because now the grammatical function of the word is different.
So in programming, you’d write ‘if’ as:
not pizza or fart where the farting is irrelevant until the pizza is involved.
While ‘iff’ would be:
pizza equals fart where pizza means fart and no pizza means no fart.
I actually wrote iff as (not pizza and not fart) or (pizza and fart) before, and I’m pretty sure that’s the way I wrote an iff in production code in the past, but your comment made me realize that “they should be true at the same time” can be tested really easily with equality.
With that description I’d expected it to be the complete opposite of what it actually is. I have a colleague who’s always like “according to ChatGPT…” and I have to figure out if it lucked out this time or he just believed some bullshit again. It’s really a coin toss, but when I correct him, he’ll go right back to the coin toss machine with the new information and go “see, it corrected itself!” No, you stupid motherfucker, I corrected you and you influenced the statistical language model to spit out different words this time, but it’ll go right back to being wrong, just like you.
Had to look this up, because I’d seen it before but didn’t want to accuse Americans of being crazy without proof:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hamburger
1 a: ground beef
1 b: a patty of ground beef
The meme says singular “hamburger”, so it makes sense that they meant it in the ground beef sense. Every other dictionary starts with “a patty of ground beef” by the way, so it seems to be an American peculiarity.
Available image generators are already capable of generating those images and they weren’t even trained on it. Once a neural network can detect/generate two separate concepts, it can detect/generate the overlap. It won’t be as fine-tuned obviously, but can still turn out scarily accurate.
I don’t think you even need the actual stuff to train a neural network to recognize it. For example, if I wanted to train a neural network to recognize pictures of lions, but I didn’t have any actual pictures of lions, I could use pictures of lion-shaped things, lion-colored things and locations where lions might appear. If a picture is hitting all three of those, it’s very likely to be a lion. Very likely is all a neural network can do, so it’s good enough for my purposes.
It is a bad thing, it’s not like they planned it ahead of time and prepared for the consequences of population decline. The entire system is designed around a growing population and if that growth turns negative, so does the government’s budget.
I have a similar reaction, but I find it hard to explain what it is about this picture that puts me off. I think part of it is the mismatch between the highly detailed painting and the cartoony pose and expression of the girl. The way people captioned it in this comment section also reminded me of a cartoon. “You should see the other guy”, sure, but if that captures the entire painting (and I think it does), why put so much effort into it? A simpler style could have conveyed the same message. And don’t get me wrong, I don’t think all realistic paintings are a waste of effort, but this painting isn’t realistic, it’s just detailed.
That saying works for trees. We didn’t make trees obsolete with better technology.
And much of the PR problem is related to waste. The main push towards alternative energy sources comes from people worried about the long term consequences of burning fossil fuels. These same people worry about the long term consequences of nuclear waste production, so nuclear sabotages itself on this front.

Why shouldn’t you go the forest at noon?
That’s when the ripe elephants fall from the trees.
Why does the alligator have such a flat nose?
Because he went to the forest at noon.
Bonus points if you space them out a bit with unrelated jokes.
Sorry, it wasn’t as much a synopsis as it was the criticism section: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarzan#Themes_of_gender_and_race
Looking at it now, I see citations for the essays, but not for the factual claims made by those essays, so I hope the editor who wrote it didn’t take their word for it.
