The purpose of windows on a new machine is so you can access the Internet to download Linux.

We have to NSFW things because of the implication now?

There’s also the other illegal activities like money and financial fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, etc. This was huge with Epstein, and everybody’s focused on pedo stuff. They might think if they can disprove the pedo stuff then everything will go away.

Who knows though. It could be all of the above, and much more. Working with Russia illegally in some way? There could be treason there in some way involving the president of the US. Wouldnt be surprised if Musk too, and others.

Uhhh, this would actually explain a lot right now…

But I think magic jesus definitely would’ve raptured up all the innocent kids and such.

So it’d be like what we’re seeing now with trump in charge, just with all the decent people gone.

But then again I don’t actually know how it would work, due to the simple fact that fairy tales aren’t real.

Nah bro

Got the same message LOL, I was also one of the down voters.

Had no idea mods can see voting stats.

This mod is weird and creepy for the message alone, stalking down voters WTF? Obviously thin skinned and on a power trip.

The freedom of anyone being able to start their own instance, then get a load of the ones that own their own servers… Some will be assholes on a power trip. It’s bound to happen.

So they lied. And they’ll lie again. And they’ll get away with it.

Your argument absolutely has merit. However the opposite is that there might be people there who are aware there’s maybe way more to their small world, and want nothing more than to see it.

I care more about the latter, but mainly because that’s how I would think. If we found out there’s an alien superhighway passing over earth hidden from us, and they’re keeping us “protected” and not allowing contact, I’d be very pissed off. I immediately would want to leave, meet the aliens, learn their ways and knowledge, etc…

Just sayin’, it can go both ways. Ya never know if you don’t talk to them.

Also, it seems kind of morbid and archaic in a way, keeping them protected. Not like a zoo by any means, but still. If we knew for certain they all wanted to be left alone, that’d be better.

Bison/buffalo burgers are delicious.

If you’re a sociopath, let them suffer and die slowly, homeless.

If you’re not a sociopath, and decent, tax the rich and give them a good UBI so they can play and do art or music or video games or what the hell ever.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

will also make nonsense mistakes that don’t even make sense

It would blow things up even faster

We are already on the way to the dollar collapsing

Humans are already doing and causing all this.

they have no capacity to reason nor analyze

Nobody thinks LLMs are intelligent or conscious or able to reason, other than stupid people.

It’s a software tool. The anti-ai cult is way overthinking it. It’s insanely valuable and impressive to me as an engineer at small tasks. Fails at large tasks, but generally gets close at 80-90% which is undeniably impressive for what it is, an unintelligent machine learning LLM software tool. It’ll either improve, or something else better will come along to replace it.

Would you trust an LLM to manage your own monthly budget numbers and categorize things properly?

Sure, as a software tool to assist in the same way I might use any other software tool to make life easier. You should probably check and verify the results to verify correctness.

At the end of the day, I don’t really care. I sympathize much more with the accelerationist attitude, then protection of the status quo. If your argument is using LLMs will bring about a downfall of the system in any way, well then I can only get so erect. Hook it to my veins please.

Even by your argument, we have imbeciles like trump elected as the president of the United States, the worlds most powerful economic and military empire. Religious wars are still a thing in 2025. Putins oligarchy dictatorship is killing Ukrainian civilians, kidnapping children, and torturing POWs. This place is a fucking clown show. Let it burn.

I’m not arguing AI is intelligent or a save all for anything. I only comment on the anti-ai cult stuff as it seems more like crowd mentality nonsense. Let them use LLMs to analyze financial markets or whatever. It ain’t like skynet where they just turn it on and walk away, lol. I truly and honestly don’t think it could get any worse than the system we currently have though.

Meh.

Honestly, why would that be worse than greedy, sociopathic billionaire investors and Milton friedman style free market capitalists making all the decisions?

Shit, I’ll take a shitty LLM or even a developmentally challenged labradoodle making financial decisions over the current exploitative capitalist slop we have today.

Hell yes. Any competition to musk is very much needed.

Go Honda.

Facts.

Just like that other guy who was torturing baby monkeys in a blender had a gigantic trump maga flag right next to a confederate flag in his home.

It’s always the ones you most expect.

Upgrade was not a “B” movie by any stretch. Low budget doesn’t mean B. Upgrade was more well done than much of the “A” stuff that’s put out.

But obviously this is opinion and depends how you define B movies.

Yikes. Listening to him talk, and his security guy or whoever that was, leaves a really sickening feeling in my gut. They come across as psychopaths for some reason. It’s that cheap charisma that feels so off-putting. I worry what those types of billionaires do in private that will never reach the light of day. Epstien Island type stuff we’ll never know about.

I’ve speculated that it takes time and discipline of exercising regularly for a long enough time, until you get the psychological reward from it. After which for some including me, makes it an addiction. I literally crave it. And if something happens to where I can’t workout, like an injury or work or whatever, it really sucks and I can’t wait to be able to get back into the routine. I’m talking of a mix of “boring” weights and cardio. I love it.

So my two cents is, muscle through the initial several months of boring suckage but make it count. Eventually, maybe you’ll catch the addiction. But this might not work for everyone.

Absolutely hell yes.

Just walk fast.

Nobody mentioned elden ring, seriously?

The visuals in that game were amazing, and the changes in different scenery and themes. Holy shit. My #1.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, maybe people just don’t like to hear it. You’re not wrong.

To add, these people generally have more kids, and raise them to be conservative. It’s depressing. It might take some severe hardship on people to shift left again? Not sure what that is, hopefully not another world War.
