Other browsers have pretty good ad blockers. I genuinely don’t know if I would be able to tell the difference between uBlock Origin on Firefox and uBlock Origin Lite on Chrome.

I think the perspective of moral responsibility (“lie”, “held accountable”) is not a useful one here. Punishment is one way of discouraging humans from making mistakes but it can’t prevent mistakes entirely. My field is software development and in software development there is the expectation that everyone, even the best human developer, makes mistakes relatively often, and there are frameworks for managing those mistakes. (Frameworks not focused primarily on blame or punishment.) AI can fit into those frameworks.

I agree that AI is inhumanly good at presenting wrong information confidently and convincingly.

something they know isn’t correct ALL of the time

Neither are humans…

My dog had been returned to the shelter because the folks who adopted him wanted him to stay in their yard most of the time and he kept digging out and escaping. That’s ok for some dogs but he was a dog who slept in my bed after having me tuck him in.

I’m really annoyed by this as well, but why do you jump from that to concluding that the government should ban it? I don’t see any reason why the stores should not in principle be allowed to do it.

I once had a package marked as having arrived despite never moving past the “shipping label printed” stage. But the company did send me a second one, and then a week later the first one arrived too and they told me to keep it.

Not really archaic - if this was valuable stuff washing up on shore, the law would still be relevant.

Members of the British government have been calling for strong efforts to ensure the shipping company and its insurers will pay the costs of the cleanup. Seatrade, which operates the vessel, said its insurers are fully engaged in the process, and in the meantime, volunteers are scouring the beaches, aiding in the cleanup (and possibly taking a few bananas home as a reward).

It was me.

I’ve never understood how being a wanker to someone whose job it is to sort issues out somehow nets you a better end result.

I saw a guy yell at an airport employee who kept telling him that she couldn’t legally let him on the plane because the cabin door was already shut. He kept at it until a supervisor showed up, contacted the pilot, and let him in. I get where the guy was coming from (because he loudly proclaimed that he was missing a connecting flight through no fault of his own) but it was still weird to see him get something by being angry which he probably couldn’t have gotten by being nice.

The elites don’t want you to know this but the flags of the USA are free you can put them on your packaging I have 458 flags.

And here I am stuck babysitting an inferior human baby.

My dog’s favorite game was to have me grab his tail. He would immediately spin around and grab my wrist, and then he would bite harder and harder until I let go. As soon as I let go of his tail, he would let go of my wrist. I don’t bruise easily so I was fine, but other people who tried it got bruises.

I have no idea what he got out of that game. People thought I was being mean to him, but if I held my hand out then he would walk backwards to put his tail in my hand.

Dog owners’ tolerance for being attacked by dogs: LOW

Cat owners’ tolerance for being attacked by cats: HIGH

“Aww isn’t that cute, he suddenly hurt me!”

At least they’re not hiding that the solution is generated by AI, but the random usernames make me suspect that they’re trying to avoid blocking or banning.

Sorry bro, but you’re too late. I already proved p ~= np in the same manner.

If you can prove a contradiction then you can prove anything, and here we have ¬ads = ads. BRB there’s some stuff I want to prove that I have.

I live in NYC to support (and have the support of) my relatives, not because I want to. I also never said that I was rich. Even without the toll, driving in Manhattan is at the edge of what I can reasonably spend. Just the parking costs several times more than all my other discretionary spending put together.

I grew up in a Texas suburb and it was pretty nice (except for the humidity) but I don’t have first-hand experience with driving in a place like Houston or LA. I know that there’s a lot of traffic, but I’m genuinely curious about whether it’s really slower than mass transit in NYC is.
