The project is real, but it’s a mismanaged catastrophe.

It’s basically what happens when you have a project with overly understanding financiers, an overly ambitious creative head, and absolutely no concern whatsoever for avoiding scope creep.

Kind of amazing really. I can imagine in centuries past an architect becoming the personal favourite of a king so he just keeps making the palace he’s tasked to build more and more extravagant since the king keeps giving him more money endlessly.

I have a really old account from man years ago (probably payed $50ish for it). I want the same experience - just mostly vibing around in a ship.

Sometime during covid I had time on my hands so I installed it, logged back in. Tried to get into my ship and a glitched basically got me stuck in the door of the ship. Also couldn’t die. Just stuck there . Restarted the game and tried again. Got stuck in the same spot.

Closed the game and uninstalled. I’ll check back in a few more years lol.

Because when provided with positive evidence of obvious bias, you demanded proof of a negative which is ranges from prohibitively difficult to impossible. This is not a valid form of reasoning. The inability to disprove something is not a valid reason to believe in it.

Let me put it another way, I don’t converse with paedophiles so I’m going to need proof that you’ve never diddled kids before we can continue.

That would be good but that’s not going to solve this. There is rot at the core of American culture and Trump is the inevitable culmination of it. There’s no single rule that can be changed to fix this.

Then you agree that they’re not in fact close to realizing literally anything?

They are absolutely not and will not under any circumstances actually go after Trump for any of this.

When someone bangs a member of the blue man group do you think they’re disappointed when his jizz isn’t blue?

As long as the luxury space communism is gay, I’m happy.

Also he has literally no reason to pay her and will never face a single consequence for it.

Counterpoint: gorillas are swole AF .

Say hi to Dr Mike for me.

A lot of the remainder speak at least passable English too but answer no out of spite.

Gotham chess has a video of making chatgpt play chess against stockfish. Spoiler: chatgpt does not do well. It plays okay for a few moves but then the moment it gets in trouble it straight up cheats. Telling it to follow the rules of chess doesn’t help.

This sort of gets to the heart of LLM-based “AI”. That one example to me really shows that there’s no actual reasoning happening inside. It’s producing answers that statistically look like answers that might be given based on that input.

For some things it even works. But calling this intelligence is dubious at best.

A large part of that working class is fully captive to the corporate media narratives, and voted for Trump last November. They support this.

Needs photos of mirror Hoshi in the crop top.

Congrats guys you found a way to make a dating app with an even more skewed sex ratio.

Who asked?

The theoretical argument is that any justice system no matter how well thought out and well intentioned, will eventually result in edge cases where justice fails to be done. Especially when implemented on a large scale. There are already appeals, and those can fail too. Plenty of examples of people actually being railroaded.

You can just accept that , or you turn to democracy to try alleviate the most egregious cases. Thats what the pardon is for - no process, no more appeals. Just the president, the people’s highest representative, and a pen.

It sometimes works (as in, is probably a net benefit) when the person wielding this power fears the people and will pay (at least) a political price for misusing it. Pardoning someone he knows is a complete of the power. Enriching himself by essentially selling pardons throws the whole thing into the world of comedy. Any talk of the theoretical merits of it is laughable.

You can argue that this was inevitable. Maybe you’re right. But that was the intent, and it’s failure is another symptom of the American democracy degenerating towards failure. Trump won’t pay a price for this. Even on conservative forums where they hangwring about “not getting why he’s doing this” (as they stare straight at the naked corruption), none of them will change their votes. Nobody is interested in holding him accountable.

This democratic failure has widespread consequences. The open corruption of the pardons process is actually one of the smaller symptoms of it.

There are not files. There are only vibes. If your surf the vibe ocean well enough, you will find what you were looking for.

It’s interesting, this is true in the early days of the show but around season 4-5 it’s clear that while the humans (of earth) are still technologically primitive, they essentially are making use of huge swathes of the American military industrial complex. Especially in terms of r&d. Theyre also not beholden to centuries of rigid doctrine around combat. So even though a staff weapon is far more technologically advanced than a gun using gunpowder, the gun is more ergonomic, more usable, more accurate, comes in specialized forms, etc etc. Plus they can implement novel tactics like shooting laser guided missiles through the gate and painting targets with a laser.

That show was pretty cool.
