@inquiline Centrists and Liberals always consider protesters The Enemy, at least in a more "have they no respect??" kind of way and less "Shoot the commie kids" kind of way. The desperate need for "decorum" is a very Centrist value and permeates everything from trying to get people of color to not talk about racism on social media, to scolding their children for not wanting to talk with their racist or transphobic uncle, to siccing riot police on students for daring to not wanting genocide.
@br00t4c Tesla is, among other things, one of the worst cars at being a car. It is a statement for assholes and hipsters and "weird nerds" (tech bros), but it is not a good car.
@tob@nikatjef@root42@Tattooed_Mummy The over here AI that was used (as a test, double checked at every point by human pharmacists) for pharmacies to identify and recommend correct use of medication was very quickly taken off line since it turned out to be severely wrong on many occasions, often deadly so.
But it is not intelligent. It can randomly put together responses based on training and input, nothing it says is anything but random words put together to SOUND like a human. There is no medical or psychological knowledge in there, just random responses based on the data that it has been fed with while being trained to sound as if it knows anything.
People who mistake an RNG what-if code with "it is almost sentient" has no clue.
@nikatjef@root42@tob@Tattooed_Mummy They are unable to tell the truth. All they can do is mimic the truth with no actual control that they DO tell the truth. Relying on AI for facts is not a good idea, since they cannot determin what fact is.
As someone else put it on here, we have burned billions of dollars, and are destroying the environment with enormous data centers burning drinking water and electricity, to produce tech that makes computers pretend they can't do math.
Tho this particular optical puzzle is new to me, my brain immediately lock down on the 90 degree angles everywhere which kinda stops it from flipping to circles?
It is not exactly surprising that the one artist that was doing the pause entertainment on #Eurovision that also is a member of a Christian sect had a meltdown in media today talking about how "Eurovision is going PC crazy by not supporting Israel". Most people I have met from white Christian sects are exceptionally racist and wholly subscribe to the need of Jews wiping out all other people in the area so that the end of the world can happen in the name of Jesus.
The reason? They push the "Free DLC" (aka user created content they decided they like) onto the game ( #Fallout4 ) with no option to say no.
I... I am not a fan of user created content in at the best of times, it tends to be completely overpowered or in other ways stick out like a sore thumb.
I had to manually go in and delete files from a directory since unlike the proper DLCs or properly installed mods you can't just uncheck it.
Sidenote here: Someone said the power armor in the series are too durable; the truth is the opposite; they are supposed to be as tough as in the cutscenes and the show, they are WEAKENED in the games. In the lore the P51 and T60 was way more powerful than anything the Chinese had, but in the games (FO3 especially) an unarmored player with a rifle from the 1800s could take them out.
...Knowing a lot of the lore beforehand makes Cooper's experience in the past less... creepy and more "waiting for Twilligt episode to actually start".
I mean I am not a lore-hound, so it was a long time ago I stopped reading terminal entries in the games; I already know some horrid shit went down in this (insert company ruins or vault here) place, all I want to do is loot and get out.

You have to pass from retro to vintage to get past that. ๐Lover of most things vintage from cars to machinery and technology.
