The number of people who think that AI "thinks" is quite concerning.

I have drunk anything for 15 years, but I'll have a few the day I find out he's dead.

Oh damn, so sorry to hear that. I'm in Australia so can sympathize. Huge hugs.

Wait, why are you in a hotel crying?

Maybe Americans should read what's on the statue of liberty.

I remember someone resurrecting and porting Eliza in the 80s, and everyone losing their shit over it.

Goddam humans are stupid.

AI is smoke and mirrors.

one of the great tragedies of our age is how many people are willing to view AI as magic because they don't understand how it functions but unwilling to exhibit any humility at all towards more important things they understand even less (like the climate or medicine)

When Trump is done and this is over, the tax payer will pay for the myriad of suits brought by the victims of this horrific policy. Meanwhile, all those involved in its implementation will just ride off into the sunset.

If Trump wants to act like Ceauศ™escu, he should be treated like Ceauศ™escu.

I dunno, China is pretty shakey. It's all smoke and mirrors.

It will take decades for the US to recover from Trump, assuming he actually leaves office.

Of course, it will all be Biden or Obama's fault.

Breaking: Disgraced NSW MP Gareth Ward resigns before expulsion vote After the convicted sex offender lost his bid on Thursday to stop the NSW parliament expulsion, Gareth Ward resigned from his position as minister.

Meanwhile in Australia....

(Whenever you see "coalition" in Australian news, think "GOP down under")

Oh, that old classic.

I guess you can't chargeback on a debit card huh. Your only option is to just keep ringing every internal number in their office for hours on end until they get tired of it.

Isn't it funny how this level of corruption is just ignored now?

Interesting precedent. Let's see if they remember doing it in a few years.

If you absolutely have to install windows, may I recommend tiny win 11. Windows without all the crap.

*cough Linux*

I promise it's not difficult, and absolutely worth it. You'll never look back. Start with something simple like Ubuntu.

Every Muslim I have ever worked with has been highly respectful and moral. Wouldn't it be funny if in the end American democracy is saved by Muslims?

I bet they are. It will be with some random lawyer somewhere. They'll be hunting high and low.

I bet she has a tonne of evidence set to be released upon her death. That's the only reason she's still breathing.

We have tons of money to do everything we want in this country. Most of it is stolen by billionaires and the GOP.
