Why is hanging out for a long time bad, as long as you continue drinking?

My personal conspiracy theory is that bars have bad acoustics so that you have to shout, so that you get a sore throat, so that you feel like you need to drink more.

Eh, what’s bad for capitalists is what’s good for the rest of us

What is reddit speak?

Idk, it probably has an open backdoor somewhere

Yeah, best politics of any centralised social media by a long shot.

Those are all great books/stories. But they are all off the mark for the AI bubble.

The book you wanna read is John Steinbeck’s The Grapes Of Wrath.

Thought this was a biblically accurate lorikeet from the thumbnail

It’s true! It’s a relatively minor complaint really. Let me pivot: fuck social norms around early starts 😅

Jealous

Yeah, I think AI optimising commercial music genres is just effectively doing what the corporate music industry has been doing for years anyway. It’s like gamification of the auditory processing system.

It is possible for genAI to be creative in that sense (e.g. move 37), but it’s not possible for it to know whether that new thing is good/valuable/true/whatever. So it can’t challenge an idea in any sense more meaningful than a monkey throwing darts. A human could use it to generate challenges, and then evaluate them, but that’s a different proposition.

On your first point, I think it’s not so much about reputation as about trust. Long-standing accounts at least have the simple trust that’s based on consistency and familiarity. If you meet a new person IRL, you at least get something to go off based on visuals and behavioural cues. A new account online has absolutely nothing to base any trust on.

Emotions (and hence also a lot of thinking) have a lot of physical and chemical processes involved too, it’s not just neural signalling.

The outputs becoming indistinguishable does not imply that the generative processes are the same.

The name of the bridge is pretty funny

Presumably a massive construction near by could have contributed to destabilisation?

I don’t think that’s related to water use though, is it? Isn’t it just a weight of the city thing?

Edit: I was wrong, thanks for the corrections!

Maybe? But I’d say it’s probably also quite common. Parent-child relationships are pretty intense at the best of times, and no one is perfect. No idea what your situation is, but it’s worth remembering that parenting is hard sometimes, and it’s easy to fuck up.
