“Haha. You lost! You have to point with your middle finger from now on!”

Yes… the child rapists’ lives would be destroyed… that is the general idea… and you are opposed to that? Are you soft on crime? The crime in this case being child rape? Or are you just, specifically, pro-child rape?

That has always been the two big problems with AI. Biases in the training, intentional or not, will always bias the output. And AI is incapable of saying “I do not have suffient training on this subject or reliable sources for it to give you a confident answer”. It will always give you its best guess, even if it is completely hallucinating much of the data. The only way to identify the hallucinations if it isn’t just saying absurd stuff on the face of it, it to do independent research to verify it, at which point you may as well have just researched it yourself in the first place.

AI is a tool, and it can be a very powerful tool with the right training and use cases. For example, I use it at a software engineer to help me parse error codes when googling working or to give me code examples for modules I’ve never used. There is no small number of times it has been completely wrong, but in my particular use case, that is pretty easy to confirm very quickly. The code either works as expected or it doesn’t, and code is always tested before releasing it anyway.

In research, it is great at helping you find a relevant source for your research across the internet or in a specific database. It is usually very good at summarizing a source for you to get a quick idea about it before diving into dozens of pages. It CAN be good at helping you write your own papers in a LIMITED capacity, such as cleaning up your writing in your writing to make it clearer, correctly formatting your bibliography (with actual sources you provide or at least verify), etc. But you have to remember that it doesn’t “know” anything at all. It isn’t sentient, intelligent, thoughtful, or any other personification placed on AI. None of the information it gives you is trustworthy without verification. It can and will fabricate entire studies that do not exist even while attributed to real researcher. It can mix in unreliable information with reliable information becuase there is no difference to it.

Put simply, it is not a reliable source of information… ever. Make sure you understand that.

The “funny” thing is, that’s probably not even at Elon’s request. I doubt that he is self-aware enough to know that he is a narcissist that only wants Grok to be his parrot. He thinks he is always right and wants Grok to be “always right” like him, but he would have to acknowledge some deep-seeded flaws in himself to consciously realize that all he wants is for Grok to be the wall his voice echos off of, and everything I’ve seen about the man indicates that he is simply not capable of that kind of self-reflection. The X engineers that have been dealing with the constant meddling of this egotistical man-child, however, surely have his measure pretty thoroughly and knew exactly what Elon ultimately wants is more Elon and would cynically create a Robo-Elon doppelganger to shut him the fuck up about it.

The quintessential symbol of heroism, of ‘The American Way’, Superman, was created during the rise of fascism and nazism by two Midwestern Jewish boys, one of whom had immigrated from Canada and whose parents were immigrants from Russia and The Netherlands. In the story introducing their character to the world, he saves a wrongly convicted woman from execution, stops a wife beater from killing his wife, and stops a slimy lobbyist and corrupt senator from roping the US into a war with Europe. i.e. it acknowledges that the justice system gets it wrong, that women can be abused and endangered by their husbands, and that congress has a huge corruption and bribery problem. Sounds pretty fucking woke to me. And a few years later had him literally punch Hitler. The idea that they didnt have anything to say with the character about prejudice, about immigrants adopting their new home and being adopted in turn, about politics, is fucking laughable… “too woke”. No, Dean, you’re too ignorant to think that he ever wasn’t “woke”.

Dean Cain can lick a sweaty nutsack. An embarrassment in the history of Superman casting.

Him and Kevin Sorbo can lick boots together while they swap stories about how they used to play strong guys on TV but now spend their time being weak-willed sheep IRL.

Ironically, ICE Barbie would be deported form Barbieland

When the real fight comes, the Nazis will have morons running the show, while the Resistance will have the smartest, most experienced people in the world.

Happened before. Jews were round up and killed or fled Germany, and their “Jewish sciences” like the work of Einstein were taboo ot outright rejected. So when it became apparent that nuclear energy could be harnessed to make a bomb, the Germans were on the back foot and had no one with expertise in the theory necessary to build it. Germany fell before the bomb was ultimately built, but it would have turned the tides of the war immediately had they not, as we saw.

The problem now, though, is that most of the world powers already have enough doomsday weapons to destroy all of humanity 10 times over so… even as we get more precise and efficient and effective at taking out specific targets from afar, all it ever takes is for one mad man with a legion of nukes to end it all, and guess what we have…

And the brain drain continues.

On the one hand, I do not want politicians’ opinions to constantly chase polling numbers. They shouldn’t cynically change their views like their underwear as it suits their electability, only learn and evolve gradually as we all do. And when they firmly believe in something, they should have principles and stand by those principles. For those that are doing that, I admire their resolve and integrity. On the other hand, their principles are shit, and they need to go.

Unlimited tax free contributions to a Satanic Temple sponsored Super PAC? And I can write off my donations as charitable since they go to a religious organization? It’s fucked up, but that is absolutely what the Evangelicals and Mormons are about to do. Let’s make them regret it.

AFAIK, current Supes is perpetually 28ish. So, he was born/arrived under Bill Clinton’s administration. But Trump is trying to denaturalize people who have birthright citizenship without citizen parentage, so i dont think it matters.

Pfft, you think the Trump administration would give him the benefit of the doubt.

Is thst still canon? I know it was officially changed at least by New 52 to be baby Kal-El in the ship from Krypton again. And then Post-Crisis canon was merged with New 52 Canon with Rebirth and Doomsday Clock, but I haven’t read a comic in years now. No idea what they settled on as his new origin. Either way though, non-lawful entry or born here with non-citizen birth parents, he would be considered an illegal or stateless immigrant under the current government. There is no getting around that Republicans.

I’d drive the bus.

If anyone should be shot or exiled, it’s hateful prices like this that endanger innocent lives. But no, it’s the browns and the trans that are the real danger, apparently.

The microwave background is like a rainbow. When you move, it appears to move. You’re always at the “center” of it.

Space and time are the same thing. Spacetime. Time travel would necessarily also by teleportation if you are traveling instantaneously through spacetime. Unless of course your travel is continuous like it is currently for all of us, just sped up, slowed down or reversed.

Also there is no objective point of reference for location in the universe, only relative points of reference. In other words, you are always some distance in some direction from some thing. But you never have objective stable coordinates relative to the universe itself. There is no “center” or other fixed point of the universe. So the earth is moving, yes, but only relative to other independent celestial bodies. And those bodies are moving, too, relative to other bodies. Their movement is always relative to a non-absolute frame of reference. No movement is objective to the universe, it’s all relative.

So it would be illogical to expect the earth to have moved X miles away in Y direction if you teleported one second into the past/future because that would presuppose that your location was objective and absolute in the universe at the point of time traveling and the earth moved relative to your absolute location. It would break known physics if that were the case, as much as time travel itself would.

Tbf, if it comes to that, any nation or cooperative group of nations can do this without US law doing a damn thing.

His polling numbers dont matter. Either he cannot run for president again or he fucks up the government bad enough to allow him to, in which case the vote is going to be rigged AF anyway.
