This kind of thing is intended to draw outrage away from the other horrible things that he’s actually doing. If they talk about things that everyone agrees are insane, then back off, they spread the outrage around and get less pushback on their real agenda.
Anyway, that’s my theory.
I highly doubt that Amazon is dumb enough to ask people to volunteer their time for free. There are way tooany ways that ends in lawsuits. HR and the lawyers would put a stop to that faster than you can say “wage theft”.
I’ve worked jobs where, at times of peak business, office staff were asked to volunteer for paid shifts rather than hire more people for a very short time. It’s not weird or malicious, it’s fairly normal.
“Volunteer” doesn’t always imply “work for free”.
You know, I get it, they’re probably just an asshole. Maybe they’re having an emergency, though. How about just letting them get around in case there is a good reason for driving recklessly? Or maybe just in case they’re nuts enough to make things violent?
So, NYC gets about $100B in federal funds annually. I wonder how much they pay in taxes to the federal government. I’d bet they pay more than they get.
I’m 90% sure that when they said “you yourself”, they actually were referring to Newsom, not to the commenter. I can see how the comment could be taken either way though.
Okay, I didn’t look at the image closely enough. Yes, definitely AI. The knobs look like they’re melting. The buttons are all off-kilter. Non of the text is actual text, just AI blurs.
Everyone is saying it’s a washer. Couldn’t it be a gas dryer? The combination makes a little sense if they’re both gas appliances. Maybe many apartments only have one gas line and this is the easiest and cheapest way to install a dryer. Add it where there is already gas for the stove.
Thank you for providing the extra context. That’s very helpful.
Google and Meta have absolutely had this capability for ages.
Everything about this seems dystopian… That banner, though is icing on the cake…
I used fakespot a lot. It used huristics to attempt to determine how authentic a product’s reviews are. It analyzed the reviews for things like repeated phrases, odd review activity like bragading, and other things. It then gave a letter grade to the veracity of the reviews and an “adjusted” aggregate review score after removing any reviews that it considered to be suspicious.
I’m going to miss fakespot. I don’t know how accurate it was but it definitely informed my decisions.
Ah, I guess I missed that part when reading. So, they’re likely cooperating with investigations of other cartels.
I have a few questions:
I got back in touch with a friend of mine who who graduated in the same class as me with a B.S. in Physics. When they learned that I’m an atmospheric scientist, their first question was “What’s the deal with Chem trails?”
Point being, conspiracy theories also infect the educated sometimes.
That just seems like good advice for any law enforcement interaction. If that is grounds for arrest, we’ve fallen even farther than I thought already and I thought we’d fallen pretty far.
I think the disagreement here is semantics around the meaning of the word “lie”. The word “lie” commonly has an element of intent behind it. An LLM can’t be said to have intent. It isn’t conscious and, therefor, cannot have intent. The developers may have intent and may have adjusted the LLM to output false information on certain topics, but the LLM isn’t making any decision and has no intent.
Yeah, this is a terrible attempt at that cut. The real thing is more of a fade while OP got a really high bowl cut. Lack of product doesn’t help, but product can’t fix the lack of fade.
Be Shapiro is a shit head and deserves all the flack that can be hurled at him. Where does the no chin thing come from, though? He seems to have a pretty normal chin.
If these aren’t microplastics, what are?
“Micro” just means “small” in this case and doesn’t mean “microscopic” or have anything to do with “micrometer”.
The definition of “microplastic” according to NOAA: “Microplastics are small plastic pieces less than five millimeters long”.
