Alt-Right Playbook: Never Play Defense

I pitched the idea of an AI clock at a meeting once. Basically you ask what time it is and the AI checks it’s LLM and then confidently tells you the time it thinks.

Now, do you believe it?

Take it a step further and have AI set meetings for you or tell you what is on your calendar.

Do you trust it or do you check your calendar?

The amount of trust we are putting into a machine that is effectively a probability script is mind boggling.

People keep telling me “That’s not how you’re supposed to use it.”

And I keep having to remind them, “But that’s how it works.”

If the goal is to reduce speeding, road design plays more of a factor more than cameras.

A fine means that it’s a revenue grab.

Vince Gilligan was born in Richmond!

Depends on the purpose of the safe.

I have a fire safe for all my important documents (life insurance, will, birth certificate, etc).

It has a nice handle so I can move it if I need to.

So yeah…like prison labor, it’s a symptom of late stage capitalism.

Overseas sweat shops “benefit” from currency imbalance where the US dollar, British pound, etc all go farther. So a kid at a Bangladesh sewing factory might be getting paid a dollar a day but that’s enough to pay for several days worth of meals.

The problem here is capitalism and I’m not saying that slavery is good. It sucks all around.

I agree with your vibe, especially supporting local craftsmen. But buying American a bit more complicated than looking for the “Made in the USA” sticker.

Some “made in the USA” stuff is prison labor. These companies are profiting off of prisoners. It’s better than slave/child labor overseas but it sucks all around.

Another aspect is that politics around the “Made in the USA” are merky. Final assembly can occur here in the US but it doesn’t mean that it was “made” here.

I went into a deep dive a few years back and found that because of various loopholes, American branded cars are often made in Mexico and then “finished” in the US whereas most foreign brands are assembled in the US.

All of this to say: until we escape late stage capitalism, it’s hard to know for sure how to best support Americans.

Phew. I thought it would be all day.

It’s in my contacts so Gboard brings it up as a suggestion after writing the.

I use thepresident@whitehouse.gov. The only website I’ve found that won’t take this address is quiznos wifi

I find nothing wrong with stealing features from Reddit. Lemmy is a link aggregator, like Reddit.

Shadow banning shouldn’t be used on humans who are annoying but would for spammers.

Unhelpful bots should be shadow banned if they keep evading bans

I mean it’s literally machine learning. Every time it’s blocked it learns that it was detected as human and then tries again.

Lemmy needs a shadow ban function for these accounts

• Obama got elected in 2008
• the common abbreviation for the year 08
• Obama is the first black President
• 08 - 1 = 7
• average horse has 7 horsepower

Which is the most profitable square. You sit in jail and continue to collect rent and then pay, what, $50 after three turns?

My university fixed this by putting up chain linked poles/dividers that were just tall enough that you couldn’t cross over without getting your foot caught.

Gotta love they ask for your income level before asking your name.

I do on my laptop. Mostly so I can present with one user that has a clean browser history.

My main user has access to all my porn.

Not to be pedantic, not holding copyright ≠ FOSS.

FOSS explicitly means that the developer has a copyright and is explicitly giving a license for people to use it with FOSS provisions.

It would be more accurate to say AI Vibe code is in the public domain.
