I don’t think so. I think they’ll either use it for very benign tasks or they’ll get a LOT of people killed.

You know, I get it, they’re probably just an asshole. Maybe they’re having an emergency, though. How about just letting them get around in case there is a good reason for driving recklessly? Or maybe just in case they’re nuts enough to make things violent?

The people doing this understand the consequences and see the as goals.

Okay, I didn’t look at the image closely enough. Yes, definitely AI. The knobs look like they’re melting. The buttons are all off-kilter. Non of the text is actual text, just AI blurs.

Everyone is saying it’s a washer. Couldn’t it be a gas dryer? The combination makes a little sense if they’re both gas appliances. Maybe many apartments only have one gas line and this is the easiest and cheapest way to install a dryer. Add it where there is already gas for the stove.

Thank you for providing the extra context. That’s very helpful.

I used fakespot a lot. It used huristics to attempt to determine how authentic a product’s reviews are. It analyzed the reviews for things like repeated phrases, odd review activity like bragading, and other things. It then gave a letter grade to the veracity of the reviews and an “adjusted” aggregate review score after removing any reviews that it considered to be suspicious.

I’m going to miss fakespot. I don’t know how accurate it was but it definitely informed my decisions.

It looks like taxidermy!

I think the disagreement here is semantics around the meaning of the word “lie”. The word “lie” commonly has an element of intent behind it. An LLM can’t be said to have intent. It isn’t conscious and, therefor, cannot have intent. The developers may have intent and may have adjusted the LLM to output false information on certain topics, but the LLM isn’t making any decision and has no intent.

I don’t really disagree with you. It’s dumb to go out of your way to block an OS that probably works just fine.

That said, the answer is probably “lawyers” and an attempt to limit liability. People rely on the course materials to work. If they don’t want to out the effort into testing to ensure that their software works on Linux, even if it would probably be fine, they may want to limit the possibility of being sued by someone when it somehow screws up their semester.

So, they out up a soft barrier that says “this may not work right” but let you use it anyway. They have deniability if something goes wrong while the savvy Linux user probably just laughs and changes their user agent.

Essentially, no one is hurt and the lawyers are happy.

Be Shapiro is a shit head and deserves all the flack that can be hurled at him. Where does the no chin thing come from, though? He seems to have a pretty normal chin.

I also assume that kids shoes don’t last as long, though. There is no reason to build them to last.

If true, this is a huge step! Congrats to China!

“Strategic stamina” is something that the US used to have but which has disappeared as the country just tries to catch its breath.

While I agree, who is going to do the prosecution? The DOJ is compromised.

Good thing they have a $50B endowment to fall back on. Not all schools have that. Here’s hoping that Harvard fighting back leads to some kind of positive change.

Jesus… Are the prices low due to the interest rate? Or is all property owned by people who can buy cash?

It seems like displaying an ad at a stop light would be a safety issue since it makes it so you can onky look at the screen while moving.

You know, I was annoyed by that when I had to pay for an out-of-warranty update but now I’m pretty happy that my car is one year too old for automatic updates.

I like to think this is the case. I’d prefer to think it was the customer who screwed this up rather than the contractor.

What part of the plate has lead? The plate itself or the paint?
