I don’t think that Seals show up, shoot innocent fisherman, and abandon the mission would make a very good movie.

I can name a dozen times America has paid great costs for her mistakes, but I defy you to name one where we learned our lesson.

This is kinda in the weeds of antivax stuff. The pharma companies that research and produce vaccines are shielded from liability for reasons. The VICP is a government organization that supports people harmed by vaccines and is in turn funded by pharma.

Antivaxers point to this as evidence the government is messing with us and sweeping victims under the rug to protect the profits of big pharma.

In any case, getting rid of VICP without changing the law would leave people injured by vaccines much worse off.

It wasn’t just the tariffs that these packages were avoiding. But also health and safety regulations. Not to mention that much of the supply side was coercive to outright forced labor. Shein and Temu deserve to die.

Lying is a big part of law enforcement.

accomplishes nothing while confusing low-information voters who don’t understand he’s satirizing the president.

“low information voter” is a term that clues me in that the author isn’t worth reading. Almost as bad as the term “woke”. The first time I ever heard the phrase was Rush Limbaugh and he was explicitly referring to black voters supporting Democrats.

And while I’m sure a non-racist might use it in a sentence. It’s still the anti-democratic ideal that some people should be excluded from voting.

If you think that suffrage belongs only to the “deserving”, instead of the universal right of everyone subject to political leadership, then you don’t believe in democracy.

I fucking love this because it leaves everybody with one of two conclusions. One, AI isn’t capable of doing the simplest of jobs. or Two, working a drive thru is actually quite complex and difficult and humans that master it are more capable than trillion dollar software.

Overlook the creepiness and realize that this man tried to cosby two little girls, in his custody, with ice cream, and failed. So he’s pathetic even among other pedophiles.

MAGAs main characteristic is hatred, but incompetence is a close second. Bonus for every accusation being a confession.

Wow, AI researchers are not only adopting philosophy jargon, but they’re starting to cover some familiar territory. That is the difference between signifier (language) and signified (reality).

The problem is that spoken language is vague, colloquial, and subjective. Therefore spoken language can never produce something specific, universal, or objective.

“When we detect users who are planning to harm others, we route their conversations to specialized pipelines where they are reviewed by a small team trained on our usage policies and who are authorized to take action, including banning accounts,” the blog post notes. “If human reviewers determine that a case involves an imminent threat of serious physical harm to others, we may refer it to law enforcement.”

See? Even the people who make AI don’t trust it with important decisions. And the “trained” humans don’t even see it if the AI doesn’t flag it first. This is just a microcosm of why AI is always the weakest link in any workflow.

This is exactly the use-case for an LLM and even OpenAI can’t make it work.

This story is so crazy, you have to read to the end to find out that this was all a trip for the mother’s birthday.

Who was the shooter: A trans person

Was this an anti-Christian hate crime: Probably, and this should be the default assumption when anyone attacks a Church.

What should we do: gun control.

This is going to be framed as liberal juries nullifying just to be mean to poor old President Trump.

CT Insider, a local news outlet, reported that Minogue [the victim] had reached out to police weeks before her death to complain of hundreds of harassing text messages from Dewitt, but an officer failed to follow up with an arrest warrant.

Rideshare drivers have a duty to protect the public, but the police do not.
