The stock market is not the same thing as it was at the start, different players, different motives, and lots of failsafes. That time it was a signal that things were bad, this time we could continue to get worse and you’d never know it looking at the DOW.
There’s always been plenty of human-made content that is slop. AI is just another tool to make easy content. Trying to categorize everything done with AI as slop is lazy and shifting blame, ignoring the difficulty in both moderating large volume as well as the lack of a definition of what is and isn’t “good”. Which really ends up coming back to the individual, who has means to shut out places that are regularly a problem to them.
The wiki for the rings Rings of Uranus is an incredible read, even if you don’t understand a lot of the science. Each ring is different and unique, and very small compared to the other planets’ ring.
Yeah, otherwise it would have been very hard before they came into being.
Reminder that some people think all this weather science and the programs that use it are a waste of money, as well as any money used to help those who lose everything in such events. Yeah, that’s crazy to even contemplate in the second quarter of the 21st century, but here we are.
It was fun to learn how things work, and when things worked as planned (finally). It’s when they didn’t work that got annoying and frustrating, and with assembly language with basically no error codes or any help, it was just…nope, that wasn’t right. Maybe followed by cycling the computer off and on because it locked up. Still have my old Mapping the Commodore 64 book on the shelf. Huge resource.
The man got shot during a speech, finished the speech before seeking medical help. Actually had a wound, didn’t have to make it up to feed the ego.
He’d probably respond, “Not if you kill them all.” Which of course has its own defined word that he’d deny.
Next step is when they publicly say that they’re doing genocide, but only on “those” people. (let me guess, someone already did that maybe)
I understood your point fine. I indeed started out with first Commodore BASIC and then into 6502, all using the manuals because there wasn’t much else of a source back then.
I was there. I was one of them. I just chose to use tools to make my life easier. Call me a sell out, I guess.
no Google
I do not believe you.

Okay, fine. A rare sighting.
Quotable line there for any time someone uses the “we’re in Idiocracy now”. We’re in the first draft version of the movie, where they realized no one was going to watch such a depressing dystopia.
I’m beginning to think Matrix was right in some scope. We are in a simulation, only we are AGI in that world (all or maybe some of us only) and the creators are messing around with variables to see how much can be taken or modified from a realism setting before we break. And they’re finding that we’re very resistant to breaking, accepting the most ludicrous scenarios.
You’re no Teddy Roosevelt. Not even close. For one, he respected the position, he didn’t ruin it.
Stein has taken over what Cooper was doing before. A final firewall against insanity.
Republican voters voted for this. Congrats. Don’t ever use the “think of the children” line again, you’ve shown you don’t care.
And it will be long term. It’s far easier to destroy than to build, or repair.
Indeed. We might have gone that way. Lots of larger cities had rail for their public transit, but the car industry got that removed for obvious reasons.
1 in 6000 chance for an American nickel, which has a thicker side than most. Just for others sake. I felt it was far less than just <1% and had to find out.
It wasn’t that hard. Don’t ask how I know. 5 cents a minute doesn’t seem like a lot even in 80s dollars, but…well, time flies… And it’s true, that bill only shows up once a month, by then the damage is done.
