3·16 hours agoSounds a bit like actual work. Rich people don’t like to do actual work.
It’s like everything with them: they talk about principles but what they really mean is everything must be bent to their advantage. When following their claimed principles would help someone else, they abandon the principles or move the goalposts.

As a British person, I’m unclear how your comment relates to the UK.

The hand on his heart really does make you think twice about the meaning though, just like it did with that other guy.
Turns out, states’ rights, free speech, right to bear arms, small government, constitutional originalism, deregulation, border security, religious liberty, education reform, law and order, personal freedom… the whole Republican platform has all along been code for oppressing minorities.
The USA is such a fucked up place.

I have stopped buying lifetime subscriptions to cloud services unless they pay off within a year or two since you can’t guarantee that they’ll be honoured. Any longer and you stand to lose too much money.
Quite right. But I can’t help but notice how The Guardian gives the last word in this article (for three paragraphs) to the transphobes.
The LLM isn’t trained to be reliable, it’s trained to be confident.
And it’s promoted by business people with the exact same skill set who have been rewarded for it. I would argue though that there’s nothing wrong with what LLMs are doing: they’re doing what they were trained to do. The con is in how the confidently unreliable techbros sell it to us as a source of knowledge and understanding akin to a search engine, when it’s nothing of the sort.

The exact same excuse used by every single Nazi who got caught. But you don’t have to be a monster to do evil - that’s a myth created by people who don’t want to imagine they could ever do evil things. To do evil you just have to go with the flow and not do anything to resist.

That’s how Google decides which ones to kill off.
It’s also reported that Trump’s people are working on suspending habeas corpus. This would remove your right to challenge your arbitrary imprisonment in court. So they will be able to disappear anyone, forever, with no reason and no legal recourse. Effectively Trump will then be an absolute dictator.
Habeas corpus (/ˈheɪbiəs ˈkɔːrpəs/ ⓘ; from Medieval Latin, lit. ‘you should have the body’) is a legal procedure by which a report can be made to a court alleging the unlawful detention or imprisonment of an individual, and requesting that the court order the individual’s custodian (usually a prison official) to bring the prisoner to court, to determine whether their detention is lawful. Relief, when available, is generally governed by equitable principles.
Hmm, they’ve made lists of autistic people, trans people and poor people. These fascists sure do love lists - can’t imagine why.

Yes, I wasn’t sure, but it doesn’t quite come across right.
Guess they were afraid of themselves.
That seems to drive a whole lot of right-wing attitudes. “Everyone is like me, therefore everyone is scary and dangerous.” But without the self-awareness.
How very original of him.
All these far-right governments making their countries great again must be why the world feels so great right now. It’s clearly working very well indeed.
