peto (he/him)

This omission makes me wonder if they mean Tesla specifically or just using it as an euphemism for everything its overlord touches.

Why did you, personally, leave Reddit?

A lot of it is follow the leader type bullshit. For companies in areas where AI is actually beneficial they have already been implementing it for years, quietly because it isn’t something new or exceptional. It is just the tool you use for solving certain problems.

Investors going to bubble though.

Not going to be useful. They don’t want a democracy, they don’t want a justice system. They want a king and the ability to use state power to shit on other people.

But what are they filtering for?

If it isn’t on your shelves (or server) it isn’t your library, it’s someone else’s access.

There comes an issue when a private citizen seeks to use the engines of state to punish those whose speech offends them.

It’s one thing to withdraw society and business from someone who offends you, quite another to demand that the state crush them for you. Of course, most states will do that to a greater or lesser degree. No state extends an absolute freedom of speech.

I stand corrected.

I suspect they will graciously provide the necessities in return for your labour and any remaining rights you have.

Take a look at how company stores and scrip worked. As the song goes: Saint Peter don’t you call me 'cause I can’t go/Sold my soul to the company store.

I always feel sad with these kinds of stories. The machine is clearly just trying to be helpful but it doesn’t understand a thing about what it is doing or why we might find what it is saying repugnant. It’s like watching a dog not understanding that yes, we like our slippers, but we don’t want our neighbours swastika themed ones on our doorstep.

And then of course we get to the content and I am reminded that we live in hell and the sadness is replaced by the familiar horror as the machine pretends to empathise with its fellow Amazon workers and helps them pick out the ideal thing to piss in without missing their drop targets.

There is always self improvement. Read, exercise, meditate. So much philosophy is public domain, if you have internet access and a device to read ebooks on then you can read most of the famous texts. https://www.gutenberg.org/ is great. If you have access to a local library then use that as well. You can access almost anything with a library card.

“Hydrogen powered” generally means burning hydrogen in oxygen to make water: 2(HH) + OO -> 2(HHO). To run a car on water as you say is a lot like trying to make a fire out of ash, rather than wood. You can’t burn the ash because it has already been burned.

That wrist angle looks uncomfortable as all hell.

So you are at about an A1 and want to get up to around a B1? I don’t like saying impossible but a month is not long at all. If you can already read it you might do better, just focus on the reading and writing skills, get some sample papers if you can.

You are probably going to want a tutor that offers an intensive class, that can be done in a month, but you are still going to be looking at 50+ hours.

Do you know what level the exam is expecting?

Yeah, totally the same thing. Utterly comparable, you clearly fully understand what it is capable of and the risks it poses.

I also respect your knowledge of nuclear weapons and the reasons why every billionaire doesn’t have a home defence warhead.

Only the government and a few permitted parties

So a government and anyone who can pay a government’s fee. This isn’t really fixing the problem, just putting an extra barrier in the way of any smaller org that wants to get involved.

Never mind the issue that there isn’t a government that can be trusted. Do you think the world is going to be improved by making perception manipulating tech the private weapon of whatever bunch of psychopaths happen to rule at the time?

Oh, that kind of bad usb cable. Still useful I guess.

Smarter Every Day is the big one for me.

For explosives there Ordnance Lab, they have the paperwork for all kinds of stuff the Mythbusters couldn’t get their hands on.

Modern History TV for medieval life. Tod’s Workshop for pre modern weapons. Grand Thumb for firearms. Townsends for colonial/revolutionary american food and lifestyle. Primative Technology. Miniminuteman, archaeology.

Chemistry YouTube: Explosions and Fire, for an Australian synthesizing explosives in a shed. Nilered for interesting chemistry in an actual lab. Various others.

How to Cook That debunking cooking myths and tiktocs.

Donut Media, car stuff.

Visual effects and debunking: Captain Disillusion Corridor Crew

Law: Legal Eagle Steve Lehto

Start looking into this and you get loads more in your recommended. For all the low effort R-ddit and meme channels there are loads of people working on high quality content. Learning YouTube is vast once you get into it. Nebula is pretty good too.

Are there any good ones? Am I allowed to launch a coup?
