I live in a 70%+ Trump part of the South too, it’s everywhere. Flags, signs, billboards, you name it.

It will never happen, sure he’s made some token changes and talks a lot about seed oil but is wrapped up getting rid of vaccines. At best he’ll try to make raw milk legal and served in schools before wearing out his welcome. There’s not much he can do working for the junk food President

My MAGA family members (all of them) absolutely love RFK Jr. To some serious second only to Trump levels. All of them think he is doing all this wonderful stuff with getting rid of vaccines and ‘chemicals in food’.

Some of the LLM deployments are just stupid as well. Take the way AWS is using Claude as part of the Q CLI offering. You would assume such a model would at a bare minimum be able to reference and refer to AWS’ own public documentation and knowledgebase data. But no, it doesn’t even have access or the ability to read AWS public website unless you copy and paste the text into your chat session. That’s just so fucking stupid I can’t understand it.

As a result, it’s all too common to get the model to just make shit up about how an AWS service functions, and if you ask it how do you know that? It will admit that it actually doesn’t know and just made it up.

The only thing I’ve found it useful for is very limited and basic python scripts, but even then you have to be careful since it’s not very good at that either.

No offense, but if I had a roach problem this bad I would find a way to afford $40 a month for an exterminator even if I had to cut back to bare utilities only. Maybe even no electricity and cold showers until they were gone.

I’m sure it’s as accurate and expensive as most A.I. slop.

Why did you stop at 1980? It wasn’t until cellphones became so common with kids that things changed. Even the in early 2000s pagers were still more common with kids/teenagers in my experience.

How are there so many of these medical doctor quacks? You’d think going to school that long would teach you something!

These kind of guys are all so similar you could literally replace them and their posts with an AI.

If you aren’t supposed to mow at night then why do riding mowers have headlights?

Sure, it’s a horrible idea in an open office environment but if someone wants to use this at home for all their passwords it really won’t hurt anything.

I don’t doubt this is true. I’ve been playing with an A.I and some fairly simple python scripts and it’s so tedious to get the A.I. to actually do something to the script correctly. Learning to prompt is a skill all it’s own.

In my experience it’s much more useful for doing things like in AWS like create a Cloudformation template or look through user permissions for excess privileges or setup a backup schedule, like at scale when you have lots of accounts and users, etc.

How long before someone finds a glitch that allows them to trick the A.I. Into letting them get free seats or book the entire plane, etc.

That’s a great point, I’ve reached out to researchers a few times to ask about their research and they have all freely just shared the work with me.

100% encourage anyone past 30 to start working on your core strength, a sore back can frequently be caused by a weak core. I only take started focusing on that when I turned 40 and it’s made a huge difference! Just a few minutes a day or every couple of days is all it takes. Get a kettlebell, do 30 swings, then a 1-2 minute plank, then 30 more swings and you’re done. It will really help with the back pain, believe me!

This was even happening back during the W Bush administration and I can’t imagine the anxiety and terror these workers are living with now. When I was in college I had a shitty job and a bunch of the guys were migrant workers without any legal papers. Every couple of months there’d be a rumor about immigration doing raids and suddenly 75% of the workforce would be fine for a couple of days. With the budget ICE has now it will probably just be constant.

The Alters has been insanely fun the last week or so. Pretty interesting science fiction space survival, resource gathering, base building. Some of the mechanics around quantum computing is quite unique.

It’s worth diving into what they are classifying in this influencers group. They even point out that some of it offers helpful and genuine support. But it sounds like they would even consider a men’s therapy or coaching business in this group, or even something like that Mankind Project. I am just guessing but that kind of group is a world away from the typical toxic manosphere stereotype.

Seems more like Horizon Zero Dawn to me. I wonder what tech billionaire will play the role of Ted Faro and destroy everything!

Netflix peaked when it was supporting shows like Dark and Mindhunter and drove off the cliff since. My wife will subscribe for a month to watch a new season of a show like You and then cancel it again. That’s versus back in 2017 when I just had the subscription all year.
