The current US government would send them to the worst place imaginable…

Like, say Canada would take them under asylum, but for 100k a person we could send them to a death camp in El Salvador…

Guess which trump would pick?

And like someone else said, it would grind the US to a halt.

It’s possible there’s multiple out there

I just at one point also wondered what the point of a petition was because I’m a jaded American

Pretty sure:

1. Yes, this is a legit thing the EU cares about. However that’s also why I’ve always wondered why they’re soliciting signatures outside the EU…

2. Didn’t it come out that the people who pushed payroll processors to force studios to censor, have been found out to be a bunch of far right religious extremists who definitely aren’t going to stop here.

It’s really weird those minor changes became such a big deal, especially since there also seemed to have been real performance hits and other issues.

Everything else got drowned out by something 99.99% of people just won’t care about

If it’s lighter than air, it’s lifting you while it’s inside of you…

If it’s not there, it’s not lifting you, and you’re heavier.

Think of a balloon that is so old it doesn’t rise anymore. It just stays neutrally bouyant. In this case it’s even less than that. It is a completely and totally negligible amount of difference. But while holding a fart you’re technically a very shitty balloon.

Methane is lighter than air, so farting makes you heavier.

But not in any measurable way.

They don’t even see/touch the card…

It’s not like the 80s where you hand them the card to swipe.

Dams are set up in an area that a large amount of surrounding area naturally flows water into.

That’s why dams are constantly letting water out, even when it hasn’t rained.

So like, so X is the total amount of water before the dam overflows. You’d want to keep normal level at X - 25%. But if a storm is coming in they do pre-emptively open the floodgates and go down to X - 50% or whatever.

One of the big problems is these large storms last so long, days rather than hours. And even if they open the floodgates at the dam to help the lake, it makes it worse for people along the river it feeds into.

There’s no simple solution, we already started doing all that decades ago. It’s what was hiding the problem and why so many ignored it and it got so bad.

It’s a cultural thing. If your culture involved eating dairy with lactose then the populations adapted.

But there’s a reason their diet includes it…

Likely that in Europe there was a benefit to children who could consume milk longer. Because in lean winter protein was scarce, but a mother with fat reserves could keep producing nutritional milk. Those calories at a young age translate to a larger (and according to a lot of studies) more intelligent adults.

That’s an advantage. Because they could consume leftover milk the mother was producing for a younger sibling. And humans just kept making babies for most of human evolution. And if the younger sibling died (very common back then) that was a lot of calories the family was wasting.

Eventually that likely led to desperate people trying milk from already domesticated livestock when the mother died (also very common).

Like…

If your culture involved eating dairy with lactose then the populations adapted

Obviously that wouldn’t be true. People had to be lactose tolerant before the food became a cultural norm. It would never catch on if it gave you diarrhea, not just because it was unpleasant, but that there’s still nutritional value from other foods there.

This isn’t a chicken and egg blurry line, one clearly had to have been before the other, and you’ve got it backwards.

Yup.

Clintons were very good friends with Biden but also trump.

Neoliberals poisoned the party so much that during Epstein’s hey day the letter by a name didn’t matter, trump himself was a big donor to the Dem party back then.

Neither Biden or trump could release just the names of people they don’t like, because they’d snitch on the people they liked and then you’re on the hook for protecting the ones you liked.

Someone like AOC is the only shot at a president that would actually release it. We need more politicians who have a loyalty to voters over a party.

Party leadership changes, and we got a rare window right now the party won’t block someone like AOC. We can’t count on that being true in 2032 if she doesn’t feel ready in 2028.

Ready or not, it’s time.

It all reminds me of how everyone made a huge deal the first time a human beat a horse in an endurance race…

Which, used to be a normal thing. People would run races and for an advertisement it was “try to beat a horse”.

People noticed what conditions led to it being closer, and the closer it was the more attention your event got

So people kept fine-tuning those conditions until they came up with the exact right scenario a human could outrun a horse.

But a horse is still faster 99.99999% of the time.

So yeah, if I had billions of dollars in VC capital on the line, I could design a test that shows AI just broke an important milestone and there’s no better time to invest in AI…

But that doesn’t mean it is, just that I have a financial incentive to convince you that’s true.

VC are like the guys who think every stripper loves them cuz they got a fake phone number one time 20 years ago.

No, all mamalls are lactaic tolerant as babies.

We become lactaic intolerant so weaning wasn’t a choice, it was something that needed to happen.

The people who started drinking animal milk as adults didn’t immediately shit themselves, they were people whose evolved method for weaning was already “broken” allowing them to tolerate lactaic acid as an adult.

In places animal milk became an important food source (protein in the winter) having the “broken” genes was beneficial and it spread among the population until it became the norm.

The people who couldn’t handle it, either died out or mated with people who could.

The first step was probably toddlers who kept being able to drink milk over long winters were more likely to live. Become lactaic I tolerant before a long winter… You probably wouldn’t see spring.

That’s the question put to Newell by Saliev: should younger folk looking at this field be learning the technical side, or focusing purely on the best way to use the tools?

“I think it’s both,” says Newell. “I think the more you understand what underlies these current tools the more effective you are at taking advantage of them, but I think we’ll be in this funny situation where people who don’t know how to program who use AI to scaffold their programming abilities will become more effective developers of value than people who’ve been programming, y’know, for a decade.”

Newell goes on to emphasise that this isn’t either/or, and any user should be able to get something helpful from AI. It’s just that, if you really want to get the best out of this technology, you’ll need some understanding of what underlies them.

The value of the house is not gonna go up because a few decades went by by which time they paid it off; it would only decrease by that fact! And the only thing we know about her is, that she paid her debt off… You find that irresponsible of her?

I honestly can’t tell if you’re trying to be sarcastic, or genuine…

That’s a personal issue…

If the insurance determines you as an adult individual to be less responsible than you and the lender, then you’re gonna pay more.

In rare cases you pay less

But it’s likely more to do with them getting the house reappraised at a higher value once it sold. But there’s a lot of things that effect it.

Two words about furniture:

Killing machines

bankrupt the Western AI companies and their investors, as the hundreds of billions poured into them will never be realized in profits

That’s already happening…

Their big sales pitch to companies is “it’s so easy you’re employees will find out ways to use it!”

Because they have zero idea how to monetize it.

Nah, they got a point:

, but the skills, and knowledge of how to make things.

Apple spent billions training Chinese workers how to do highly skilled manufacturing work for pennies and shitty hours with huge turnover rates. Remember the days of suicide nets in factories where the workers lived?

Apple viewed them as a disposible work force, they viewed it as job training.

They wash out, then get jobs doing the same things “the Apple method” for more pay and better conditions for a Chinese company.

Still not great pay, still not great conditions, but there’s an incentive there to work for a local company instead of Apple.

Over decades this has led to today where even if we tank our manufacturing away, that just makes manufacturing Chinese competitors even cheaper.

It has nothing to do with discoveries, it’s about a trained workforce with the infrastructure in place for them to work and a supply of the rare earth materials they need.

You go see a psychiatrist, who is trained and qualified to tell you your self diagnosed condition doesn’t exist.

They can probably do it in one appointment, but they might have to keep telling you over and over again before you listen

Superman fighting the klan didn’t work because adults laughed at their hand signs and shit that were disclosed…

It’s because it got a generation of kids to see the klan as the bad guys

If Superman hated you, how the fuck were you going to indoctrinate your kid into the klan?

That’s why they’re always bitching about media. The people doing it are ignorant, but the ones telling them what to be mad about it are picking logical targets to fufil longterm goals.

It’s why fighting fascism is like losing weight, you can’t reach a goal and stop giving a fuck, it’s a lifestyle.
