The slide was probably when the IRS made providing insurance a tax shelter for employers. Truman was suggesting a single payer system for the country in 1945, but we went the other way. One thing added to another.

Should be “There is, no pink.”

When have they waited on final approval before? Oh, you mean Trump hasn’t picked which things to make gold vs. not.

Well, you’ve messed up my claim. Yes, some cats are totally like that, and would never survive on their own. Others wouldn’t give their past human servants a second thought if they found themselves outside. Still, they are not right wing.

Not true. All cats are members of the same anarchy organization. He just duped them into thinking he is in alignment with them.

The different LLMs do vary in abilities. What I find amazing is how bad Copilot is compared to any of the others. Not just on complex stuff, but basic requests. I’ve had local models do better, years ago.

Not developing AI. We’ve been working on and with ANI for a very long time, and constant research on what might make AGI possible. What side railed everything is some companies found out they can do lots of amazing things with LLMs, a subset of AI science, and investors will pay them to make better versions. They talk a lot about how what they’re doing will lead to AGI, but these people (or the scientists doing the actual work) know better than that. LLMs can possibly be part of what AGI uses, but it’s on the wrong branch. And they’ve given up following the other branches because this one is paying off.

So in short, we could have done better (both ethically and core results), but once again money got in the way.

It’s what all of us first asked either in our head or out loud.

I know it’s hard to believe, but there are more upgrades in store. I don’t know how they manage to put all that in the same place.

The schools don’t care. A lot of the teachers do, but jesus, what a system to try and do your underpaid job in. Actually, now that I think about it, it’s much like most work environments. Asked to do tasks in not enough time to do it, not given the resources to do it, criticized if there’s any complaints about the work or the pay. Oh, and it’s got that retail mix in where you are customer-facing and take the heat for what the school is making you do.

Who wants to be the person who puts them back? They’ll be watching. Do not piss off the crows.

Web rings would be far better than internet searching now. Give me back HotBot and Altavista (which I know are buried under Google’s evil now). Hell, give me the OG Google.

But paying and asking for permission first would have been costly at the start and slow. They made a decision, maybe at the beginning, maybe as they realized ethical would mean lost time and placement in the race, and they said screw it, let’s go. They also sidelined any AI safety research they were doing (some were making an effort on a difficult problem, but again, $$$ wins).

Ah, the CATCHA, that makes sure you’re a cat.

Depends on if existence in this level of 4D is dependent on being at this level. Using your 2D in 3D example (aka Flatland) what if the 2D plane is at sea level pressure, but changing the Z axis there is a different pressure (as we understand, but the shapes would not), to the point where Mr. Square dies if we lift him too far up.

Now imagine a 4D version, where it’s not air pressure, but something more fundamental about physics changes if we’re moved from our current 4D state. The idea being that space as we understand it is 3D, but perhaps exists as part of higher dimensions along with other universes. But they could be completely different, and movement from ours to theirs by just sliding in 4D would change the “space” we’re in, in a bad way.

Or we could just wink out of this 3D space, but be in just a different state and be fine, seeing a weird cross section of what we’re used to.

Unless you’re running multiple displays. Which I know wasn’t a thing in Win95 times, so moving to the left corner with the mouse was a guaranteed contact. I wonder if later 10/11 changed their default to the center for related reasoning, more people using centered taskbar icons in many OSes, including WIndows, and not needing help to find icons.

A more nuanced question would be where is it legal or illegal, and what are the restrictions or conditions where it is legal? How is sex in general seen in those places? The correlation, if any, may highlight some things.

I thought it was the compressor making that sound when I put that food in, but it’s just the fridge either laughing or sighing.

You’re making the assumption the penguin is correct in knowing it’s in Ohio.

A leak that experts in the area have told the idiot in charge something that anyone outside the military has been saying this whole time? Oh no.

Time for another “no one could have seen this coming”. We definitely haven’t had any historical evidence of pushing operations into places for made up goals only to find out it becomes long and drawn out with limited or no success at all. Nope.
