trick question: they don’t think.

but if you want to know how they say the sun works, it is a combination of light having a limited range and some weird thing about angles that they use to justify sunrises and sunsets

but that is already 1 too many for a flat earth

surely that means that they will follow children privacy protection laws and not track information of anyone who they can’t verify is an adult, right?

right?

i am in a similar position. i have started to give serious thought to the idea of moving back home (to a country with a much lower cost of living than the US), and live from savings while i figure out what i want to do the rest of my life.

I don’t think grasping and visualizing are the same. I am sure you can grasp the concept of 3. Like 3 cars waiting on a light, or 3 slices of pizza.

If the limit was visualizing, the answer would be zero, since some folks can’t visualize at all.

am i stupid? i don’t get what the intent of the message is? what other interpretation is? (english is my second language, so i might be missing some colloquial term here?)

I haven’t used AI agents yet, but my job is kinda pushing for them. but i have used the google one that creates audio podcasts, just to play around, since my coworkers were using it to “learn” new things. i feed it with some of my own writing and created the podcast. it was fun, it was an audio overview of what i wrote. about 80% was cool analysis, but 20% was straight out of nowhere bullshit (which i know because I wrote the original texts that the audio was talking about). i can’t believe that people are using this for subjects that they have no knowledge. it is a fun toy for a few minutes (which is not worth the cost to the environment anyway)

no, for sure there are limits. if you cultivated a whole functional brain, for example, would be dystopic af

i would not call Lucier a musican, but i do find some of his sound art interesting. ‘I am sitting in a room’ can be kinda meditative in an interesting way

it is important to note that the article says that Alvin eagrly agreed to this experiment, and donated the blood for it. If that is true, then I don’t see any ethical dillemma in here

what are you talking about, the underground railroad has always been the 4/5 subway line in NYC that connects the Trump Building in Wall Street with the Trump Tower in 5th Ave, right?

I have seen this around multiple times. I really doubt that it is real. The whole working-for-tips system is messed up, thou, but the biggest I have ever seen recommended is 25%

the gulf of mexico isn’t bordering any country in south america

i just can’t think of any. like the article says, i fully expected the app to send data to china. but even if you are maliciously spying on users, why would you send the stolen data on unsecured channels? so that everyone in the path takes advantage of the data your wanted to steal?

“regulations are written in blood” is a quote for a reason
