I’d be more than mad, I’d want to at least charge them and see if their actions fit negligent homicide. Moral luck isn’t fair, but don’t fucking park in front of hydrants and it won’t come up like this.

No, that was the one example that I had considered and that was the rest of my original comment, but the production of defensive chemicals to the smell of damage in neighbors isn’t (afaik) universal among plants, and I’d be interested in whether the plants that we eat have that ability.

Yeah, but spending a bunch of calories on something that doesn’t bring you a benefit.

I actively struggled with trying to describe this without ascribing intent to either natural selection or plants, but I’m just making my point badly. I independently conceived of it, though assume it’s not an original thought, so maybe if I get the time I’ll try to look for it.

But what’s the point (in a manner of speaking, I know natural selection isn’t guided by intent) of pain? It’s there to provide negative feedback and train you to avoid the painful thing. What purpose would pain serve in a sedentary organism?

I’m aware that evolution doesn’t only preserve positive traits, but where in the history of plant development would using the calories to perceive and process pain have helped an ancestor survive?

ugh, I inadvertently deleted the edits, but things came up on my end and I’m not as motivated anymore

What is this show and is it good?

Anthropic insists that two areas remain off limits: the mass surveillance of Americans and fully autonomous weaponry.

Uhhh, so those other three AI companies are just cool with autonomous, uncontrolled weapons?

You know, I had a bright red baseball hat that I used to love. I stopped wearing it a little over a decade ago, because at least two people thought it was a MAGA hat and I didn’t want to get dragged into more conversations with MAGAts or alienate people who are now being targeted by the regime.

That’s unfortunate, but it happens and I bet I’m not the only one who stopped wearing red hats.

This is just to catch the stupidest cheaters who don’t really their Uni account isn’t private

Gavin newsome is only six years younger than Obama

That’s not a threat. “The death penalty” is a lawful punishment carried out by the state in response to conviction of certain crimes, not mob violence (technically). Just because the end result is death, does not mean that prescribing it is a threat, just like how “you should die of pancreatic cancer” isn’t a threat.

Now I’ve got to go shower after saying that the death penalty isn’t mob violence.

That’s some Žižek shit right there

Every single time, my brain goes “no! Now I’m going to maim myself out of spite,” and then I feel like an asshole for (internally) responding like that to someone trying to help

People definitely tried to beat neurodivergence out of people. It doesn’t work, but it does make people mask more, which is a win for the kinds of people who beat children for being different

It’s that they try to CTRL Z real life situations

It reads like they’re not a native English speaker to me, there’s awkward phrasing and a lot of subject-verb disagreement

Edit: I’m sorry, but also loosing

And even the school cop clearly thought he was a dweeb, which is almost impressive

“AI agents can research individuals, generate personalized narratives, and publish them online at scale,” Shambaugh wrote. “Even if the content is inaccurate or exaggerated, it can become part of a persistent public record.”
– Ars Technica, misquoting me in “After a routine code rejection, an AI agent published a hit piece on someone by name“

I’d also be interested in whether those politicians embraced the violent rhetoric of “misleading information.”

This is my hole

Can anyone tell if this is just enhanced or entirely created by AI?
