In America, you can’t open a bank account without an address. That means that the homeless population can’t open a bank account (not easily, anyway), and therefore can’t get a debit card.

Cashless is a nice idea, but it is extremely prohibitive against the most vulnerable people (which, sadly, might be part of the point).

Wait, but if Taiwan is a part of China, wouldn’t it be China getting the weapons?

So why are they mad, Bart? Why are they mad?

He said $30,000 for the cybertruck too. $30,000 just seems to be his “I don’t really know the price” price.

That’s the plan though, right? GOP Politicians want to convince people that everything good for them is bad so they can make their rich friends richer.

First of all, you make a great point.

Second of all, that quote made me laugh out loud. “In 15 words”? Why is that even there? I saw Sam sitting there with Word open, cursor blinking at the end of his sentence about how deep learning worked, wondering how to make it more impactful. So he copies the sentence and pastes it into a chatgpt box and asks, “how can I make this hit differently?” and chatgpt, in all it’s gptness, responds: “try counting the number of words in the sentence and throwing that in front.”

In the post OP linked from Teixeira, he claims they terminated his employment.

More like LLMs are just another type of propaganda. The only thing that can effectively retool conspiracy thinkers is a better education with a focus on developing critical thinking skills.

Not sure about the artist, but these are characters from the game Persona 5 (Haru and Futaba)

What?

Cool. If OpenAI gets a pass, then piracy should be legal, right? I mean what good is a trademark or copyright law?

Edit: “I can’t make money without stealing other people’s work” is definitely a take

They have to invent boogeymen because they don’t want to admit that there isn’t really a monster under their beds.

Your repo made me want to convert the extension to TS, which I’ve never written in before.

So I did that, and I’m getting to learn a new syntax! Thanks :D

Hey, just a heads up - I updated the extension to add some rudimentary keyboard navigation. Your j and k are there, and also you can use m to toggle the child comments for the selected comment.

Should be pretty simple to add something like that as well. Thanks for the suggestion!

True, but you don’t need 7 figures to make your bank account look like a phone number. You need at least $10k, since there will always be two more digits to cover the cents.

I agree the callout is unjustified, but there is still something to be said when those countries ban Signal but aren’t banning WhatsApp.

IANAL, but I don’t think T&Cs are really legally binding and can be easily fought against in court.

End Stage Capitalism: “Laws for thee (the poor), not for me (the wealthy).”

It’s a paraphrased quote from Richard Feynman
