That's going to be so weird for Iranians who are used to WAY better produce than the US has to offer.

The public should not have to foot the bill for any of this.

Just let China have this "race". I'm not afraid of being 2nd place. Who really cares about AI when it's effect on the concrete world is so minimal and non-deterministic?

Wake me up when we can actually count on a robot making a delivery or stopping a criminal. Generating tokens isn't doing shit in the real world.

When that is regularly happening without failure, we can just regulate the robots themselves.

It is a requirement of both Android and iOS app stores to have a policy prominently displayed for users.

FatTony Search engine is it down or just me

lol

It feels like the novelty of an attempted XPOTUS assassination wore off in less than 48 hours. That's crazy.

Nobody around me is even talking about this anymore - not at work, not on social, not at the grocery store, nowhere.

Idk if that's due to everyone being super jaded or because it's Trump. If it's because it's him, then I wonder if it's because nobody gives a shit about him or if it's just not surprising someone would take a shot at him or just because it's irrelevant to his candidacy or what else.

People's Park was a major local landmark with a long history that is well known to students, faculty, residents, and alumni. It had become a home to otherwise homeless people whose existence was inconvenient for the university's expansion plans and an eyesore to arrogant passersby.

The park's history includes both civil and violent disobedience, including against the university itself.

It would not be surprising to hear that, whatever is built on this lot, it is subsequently destroyed by an act of arson or other vandalism.

I am surprised they are taking the risk and making the investment at all. IMO it would have been safer to just buy some of the private properties surrounding the park instead, even at a premium.

That Cruz quote is insane. Net neutrality will not be easily sold to the public as “radically left-wing”. Nobody is going to believe that shit.

It literally has neutrality right in the name!

Mark Zuckerberg now a backstreet boy

In recent years, people have used increasingly mixed metaphors to obfuscate partisan loyalty tests and characterize objections as suspiciously avoidant or condescendingly elitist so that they can make friends with bigots online and feel a part of something bigger than their lonesome, superficial lives.

For example, the list in the meme hardly makes any sense. It's true that some people consider some harsh words to be 'violent' but there is no reason to believe they are the same people who conflate 'stress' with 'trauma'. So the question "Do you agree?" is a poor question because any straight answer risks confirming the implication inherent to the list of metaphors in the meme: That there is a specific group who believes each of those statements and that group is being "increasingly extreme".

The meme itself is a political wedge device to make people feel bad and neg on the disaffected and vulnerable in our society so that people who feel tough right now, most of whom have not been through trauma or discrimination, can also feel correct and ethically justified by virtue of not being part of the vulnerable group being called out as "increasingly extreme".

What's sad, or funny depending on how you look at them, is that this kind of meme is so awkwardly transparent to both the political left and center that it makes the right seem pathetically ignorant. That's a shame, because stress is not trauma and only certain words actually lead to violence and disagreement isn't related to gaslighting at all and being irritated is a matter of opinion while harm is most often not a matter of opinion and people who are repeatedly difficult for the sake of being difficult really are toxic personalities and really do exist in the world.

Any one of these statements make for decent conversation, but this meme turns them all into one long and fruitless gish gallop so that nobody can really discuss any of it and all we're left with is a loyalty test and virtually zero substance.

When you have privacy settings, what you really have is a lie.

It starts out with good intentions, like those in this post, but eventually everyone forgets that the platform still sees your posts and does not give a shit about selling them.

I would rather acknowledge from the very beginning that this entire system is not private, so there is never such a misunderstanding.

Everyone should post and comment with caution, just like you use caution with what you say in public places.

Don’t glue it shut, paint it shut with an acrylic paint or nail polish. Try to stick to the surface with the paint - you could even paint it to cover it/obscure it’s location as well.

This way, if you ever need to remove it you can delicately dab acetone over it to dissolve the acrylic and it will open once again!

Didn't these jokers already try to overthrow their capital city, angling for a total annexation of Ukraine within the first few days of the conflict?

If Ukraine had not fought back, it's statehood would have been history over a year ago.

They should make a sequel even if half the cast can’t return. Just replace them with backup characters!

I think they probably wake up thinking exclusively about how to increase their net worth, through politics and marketing, at the expense of low information voters.

Even if this post was made the day Facebook was founded, that pay is atrocious. And it’s for a collage student!

How are they supposed to finish their beautiful collage with a bunch of kids everywhere!?

Zuck beard real or fake

I've tried it, and I ate the whole plate, but I wouldn't do it again.

Raw chicken tastes like it smells, and it's just inferior to every other sashimi - not outright repulsive, but just not as good.

I honestly don't understand how those specialty chicken sashimi places stay in business. I guess there must be an audience for it, but I can't imagine why.

This would make a really cool art installation where you start at the top of a multistory building and keep walking through and turning right before going downstairs to the next room where you walk through and turn right before going downstairs to the next room... Etc etc.

If all the furniture got progressively smaller as the walls and ceilings progressively closed in, it would feel just like this picture.

Or you could leave everything the same size and it would still make for a surreal experience going down, through, right, down, through, right, etc until popping out into the street - at that last set of stairs you'd be certain the door in front of you would lead straight into the identical living room from every other floor. Seeing the street instead would be a real mindfuck.
