When I start to feel irked I imagine it’s Colin Robinson on the other side so there’s no reason to engage.

Oh shit I guess I lost to your superior logic. Wonder why all these people keep dying, then.

I predicted this. I said if we ever tried to block politics it would devolve into nitpicking what is and isn’t political.

But to answer the question: If your computer shit is about due for a upgrade, don’t wait.

Grocery prices would probably keep going up no matter who got elected, so gardening supplies would be a good investment over time. Along with gardening comes the peripheral skills of cooking and preserving when it’ll hurt your soul to see any of your sweet baby tomatoes go to waste.

I’m an artist. Once you go method, you don’t go back.

The left goes low when you threaten their lives, the right goes low when you question their actions.

Hey.

This is what makes Arrival so good. They don’t want the best person for the job because she insists on being involved, they give the aliens nicknames immediately and everything goes to shit at the first excuse to start a war.

I’d like to get into how both me and OP are talking about how fast AI, not just LLMs, is scaling, and the potential it has across a variety of industries - most concerning to me is it’s use by investment firms. But I need to go to the barber because I already have enough split hairs.

I do. I did get a little lost in the weeds with my point though, as I was talking in a more general sense about how AI is already powerful and dangerous - because AI safety is a subject in this thread.

That there are AI art generators that use licensed art and/or public domain and open licence images. People so deep in the “AI art is theft” shtick they don’t even wanna hear it.

What we see in AI as an average consumer is like the RC hotwheels to a state of the art tank being used by big corps.

Just imagine that if an early LLM can fool an engineer into thinking it’s sentient, what a state of the art system can do, one designed to predict the market, run propaganda bots on social media or straight up manufacture news stories with the footage to back it up.

The AI being used by big corporations is so advanced, it’s one of the reasons countries have been trying to digitally isolate themselves. It’s really not an if, it’s a when.

The treatment gauntlet is brutal. I’ve done illegal drugs before, but now I just microdose mushrooms in addition to my prescribed stims, which were legal the last place I lived, where my psyche knew about and okay’d it, but not here. They wanted me to come to the hospital daily to get my meds and take weekly piss tests. I average about one alcoholic drink a week, so it’s fucking ridiculous knowing people who get wasted three times a week who have no problems getting meds.

It’s hard to get help because medical doctors are just people who won the birth lottery for financial stability and they’re skilled at rote memorization. They don’t have to be smart or better than average at their jobs.

I’ve seen these barbeque boats floating around tourist spots. They have a grill in the center, seats all around and a driver steers them while they cook and eat. So you get one of those, “accidentally” spill some lighter fluid all over and have a pack of hot dogs for a cover story. After that, it’s as simple as lighting the grill and riding the flames to valhalla.

Read every page to a different animal in different setting.

First we will form a committee that monitors and tracks posts for subject matter that may be political. There will be extensive lists of what is acceptable and what isn’t, topics that will be debated at length every week.

Then, roughly two months into NoPo days, a tampon v pad debate between a childfree estate lawyer and a closeted scentsy sales rep with a breeder fetish will spill over into other instances, inflaming users to pick sides. Both women will become icons on their respective feminine hygiene products until they are both viciously doxed and swatted by opposing communities.

One week after, NoPo days will ban any words related to period protection and thus incite a backlash from lemmy feminists and allied persons.

The committee will be fediversally disbanded only ten weeks into NoPo days and it’s members will be forced to make alt accounts in dishonor.

“I have trauma that makes sexual gratification difficult.”

“Hah, no it doesn’t work like that. Allow me to sexually harass you.”

I support independent creators of all kinds.

Please don’t die from this advice.

First: Yes, best before dates are sometimes arbitrary depending on the product and where you live. However, basically anything with a package sold commercially has been tested for taste/feel/look over time to determine when quality degrades. If you make cookies you don’t want people only buying up 1+ yr old boxes and thinking your cookies are just supposed to taste like solidified disks of keyboard powder. Having a best before date tells people when your product tastes as intended and when it’s only worth buying from the discount bin.

It’s fair to say sometimes marketing bullshit influences that date.

Second: Expiry dates are a real thing, at least where I’m from. Fridge/freezer temperatures are meant to be within specific ranges and there are food safety regulations around how long certains items can be outside of those ranges - like for transport or during prep.

Expiry dates are based on testing the development of bacteria colonies/degradation of the ingredients in an average of settings one would expect those products to go through.

Just because something says it’s expired doesn’t necessarily mean it’s unsafe, though. Except: in a commercial kitchen it is illegal to sell expired ingredients because of the testing that goes into determining that date.

I’ve worked as a chef, have taken multiple food safety courses, had good relationships with food inspectors. And I’ve worked in a production kitchen where the products were sent to testing facilities for determining the dates we put on the labels.

Depression?
