a machine cannot think, I self-soothe in a stranger’s replies, for it merely regurgitates the content it was exposed to. I am serenely confident on this point, because I have seen so many others express it confidently.

We ordinarily speak about characters in a story in human terms. We don’t consider that to be anthropomorphization. The context window contains a story, that story has characters, and the “agency” of the agent is the agency of the agent character in the story.

Not Aaron, but maybe I can do this. “We’re going to send you to the camps” (1) is a threat. “They’re going to send you to the camps” (2) is not a threat. In the context of 2, “Enjoy the camps” (3) is toxic, but it’s not a threat. In the context of 1, it would be a threat.

In June I renewed my NY drivers license online. After 5 weeks the status page said it hadn’t been printed yet, so I called and eventually ended up on the phone with the “state to state help desk”. They said my renewal had been held up because I had the same FIRST NAME as someone else. What? Huh?

literally every history question has been asked in there and thoroughly, *comprehensively* answered already

Post on r/askhistorians from 7 hours ago: At what point in history could chicken nuggets realistically have been made?

post redirecting user to post from r/trevor_culley from 4 years ago

There's really not much to chicken nuggets. Ground chicken mashed into a small clump, breaded, and deep fried. Everything you need for a basic, no frills chicken nugget would have been available to you in the Indus Valley Civilization by at least 3500 BCE if not earlier.

Let's start with chicken because that's kind of crucial. Red jungle fowl were first captured and kept by humans in their native region of southeast Asia and the neighboring islands (ie Indonesia) around 8000 BCE. Strictly speaking, these weren't chickens yet because domestication is a long process, but the novelty of this cool new bird spread quickly and red jungle fowl arrived near the Ganges River by about 7000 BCE. By 4000 BCE, true domestic chickens were being raised and eaten in the Indus Valley, just as the early signs of agriculture and urbanization were starting up.

Those early signs of agriculture included the introduction of domesticated wheat, which had been spreading across the world from its own starting point with early agriculture in Anatolia and upper Mesopotamia around 10,000 BCE. Basically from the start, wheat was ground up into flower, mixed with water, and cooked into some very basic bread. So both flower and bread crumbs are available now too, though the bread was usually flatbread, so expect a different texture.

India is home to all sorts of herbs and spices you could use to add flavor, but the only thing I think would probably be crucial to your chicken nugget breading is salt. Not to worry though, the ruined city known today as Kerala-no-dhoro has you covered. Located on the coast of modern Gujarat and founded around 3700 BCE, it was a center of salt production by collecting and evaporating sea water.

(Answer goes on for another 2000 characters but I'm approaching the word limit)

I’ve been thinking a lot about the thoughtlessness of AI writing. One of the many things that makes Melville’s prose so dazzling is the EXTEME rigor of the way he surprises, deepens and extends his metaphors and cultural touchstones. AI simply can’t, and not for the same reason that most of us can’t

I’ve lived in England three years and I’m fairly sure the locals are messing with me. I ask someone where they live and it’s “Fartwick” or “Bunion St Giles” or “Twatham”. And I just smile and nod as if I believe “Tooting” is a real place.

But a rabidly anti-intellectual culture wherein asking about whether a proposed means is the best way to achieve social ends is... well it would destroy socialism, utterly. In fact I think the failure of previous socialist states are not unrelated to developing this exact culture.

me: Oh huh

me: Democratic primaries are generally going to be bigger deal on bsky I think

me: Since they are all proxies for the main conflicts in the site

me: There's like a core of smart leftists and smart libs who almost always agree on the better candidate (AES in this case), and then large numbers of idiots doing intra-party campism more or less

“Skepticism” implies that ICE’s statements on the matter might have some probative value. I think either ignoring them—or assuming they’re lying about everything—will get you closer to the truth, faster.

"I will never believe that mine could do wrong" leads directly to "yours" doing wrong knowing you have their backs, and eventually you will get used to it, going from covering for evil to making excuses for evil to defending evil to encouraging evil.
