I went into settings to see if there was anything new since last time I checked and there was this new checkbox I had to uncheck.

I'm trying out google jules (AI code generator) on a personal project. not only is the output not really that useful (too verbose and complicated -- too many lines of code) but in a new file it generated, it is mixing tabs and spaces. pure evil.

It's just a few posts back in this thread but here it is again. www.wired.com/story/deliri...
“I'd been a vegan first,” she later wrote, “and my primary concern upon learning about the singularity was how do I make this benefit all sentient life, not just humans. I described my feelings towards flesh-eating monsters, who had created hell on Earth [for] more people than those they had helped.” (In Ziz’s writing, anyone who eats meat is a “flesh-eating monster,” and sentient animals are “people.”)

In 2016, LaSota attended an eight-day CFAR program called the Workshop on AI Safety Strategy. One event included a session of “‘doom circles,’” she later wrote, where each participant “took turns having everyone else bluntly but compassionately say why they were doomed” and also weighed in

Right, you could make the same argument about this guy. He might have completed an effective altruism fellowship and give vegan. But "he's not an EA" because he's in DOGE and "he can't be EA because EA is good by definition."
Cole Killian's archived website listing achievements such as completing the McGill Effective Altruism Fellowship and going vegan.

He might not be formally EA, but he apparently has participated in real world EA events and endorses EA ideas

It's semantics. It depends on how you define "real EA" or "real Christian". Musk may as well be culturally EA the same way Trump is culturally Christian, even if you may consider the way they practice those identities as perverted.

I mean there's at least one. You could "no-true-scotsman" him, but between completing an EA fellowship and going vegan, he seems to fit a type.

"exactly correct" quote in context
But the Vermont independent also said he might be able to find common ground on working with Kennedy, echoing his criticism of the influence the food industry has in Washington.

"I think what he's saying about the food industry is exactly correct. I think you have a food industry concerned about their profits, could care less about the health of the American people. I think they have to be taken on," Sanders told Brand. 

Sanders, who currently serves as chair of the Senate's health committee, said he had last spoken to Kennedy years ago. He said he was looking forward to sitting down and talking with Trump's picks to head other health agencies who would report to Kennedy.
