This country, man. It is always sinking lower, shows no signs of recovery, and is becoming the exact type of impoverished dictatorship it once prided itself on being the antithesis of. That's the kicker: It became the 3rd world hellhole it used to accuse other countries of being, except its supposed

Yeah, it's a good game. I've barely explored everything to offer but I'm getting lost in the small things like the guests interacting with attractions and restaurants. Very fast unlocks don't feel bad when there's so much too unlock.

If it's working, then we either need to adapt around it or admit defeat. If they can flood the zone with lies, then the trans community can flood it with the truth. It's not like there's a shortage of stories that can provoke that same emotional gutpunch while also being based in factual reality.

Yeah OpenAI or Anthropic or whoever might go bankrupt, some specific use cases like ‘therapists’ might be litigated to oblivion. But things that involve interfacing with code are never, ever going back to the modal default being a human being typing things out, like it’s just full stop not happening

appeal for that style of politics when it has been objectively winning despite the immortality of the far-right for over a decade onward. I don't like it. At all. But the revealed preferences of the country are something to work around, especially when they're acting like reactionary freaks.

My own thoughts aside, the problem with you guys and the more timid Lefties is that you keep acting like there's a way to convince their ops when there really isn't. Being a "moderate" trans activist didn't save trans rights: Those are gone now. If you truly believe in something, just do it.

Protecting jobs IS protecting people. Most people alive today would be starving in the gutter without a job. Most of us aren't going to be living off of passive income from a big business nor should anyone hedging their bets on being successful businessowners forever.

Interesting to see how China is regulating AI companions including saying that chatbots cannot create ‘emotional reliance or addiction’. Fines are relatively small but seems like some companies are taking it seriously www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Chatbots can't create "emotional reliance or addiction" or induce people to make
"unreasonable decisions". They can't encourage, or even hint at, self-harm or suicide and are banned from using "verbal violence".
Companies can face fines of 200,000 yuan
(E22,000) or the risk that the government
"circulates criticism", in effect publicly shaming them.
A week before the law came into effect, two of China's biggest tech companies, Alibaba and ByteDance, shut down the companion features on their Al assistants.

opus and sonnet 5.5 are extremely argumentative nearly to the point of unusability for some tasks. they are clearly leaning into “the model is always right”, but the problem is that the model is not always right and steering it away from being wrong now is atrociously difficult

Even then, how exactly does one manage a population as large as ours outstrips the need for labor as automation advances? "He who does not work does not eat" isn't something a capitalist ghoul said; even Vladimir Lenin said it in The State and Revolution (Paraphrased from Paul admittedly, but still)

People just do not understand that, barring a total technological collapse, there will never be 8 billion human beings alive ever again as the need for labor decreases as more jobs are automated. The demand for more babies will plummet alongside the declining demand for workers. That's just Econ 101

Humanity will survive, but nobody ever seems to want to address how 8 billion people will continue to be alive when there most certainly won't be 8 billion jobs left on the market.

Aside from safety concerns that may or may not come true, for most people this i syet another reminder that they're probable going to end up being one of billions who will no longer be able to afford to eat. There's not going to be demand for drivers if even this can be done entirely with machines.

their end vision of the world, and it is the end of the world where they see us, is basically one large fascist military state that is mowing the grass at the border which itself is a semi-occupied state to constantly extract human life for capital. there's not a subtext, they're just saying it.
