Is the final season really that bad?
No. It is perfectly fine to great, in parts.
There is some media literacy required to understand a few things that are called plot holes, aren’t, is the worst I could say about it.
The hate is about as real as that of the ragebait videogame situations.
Wait. That comma changes things, a lot.
We’re not talking about student benefits…
Work-study job requirements sure have changed, in my day nobody I couldn’t quantify the dorm bro tugs as CV experience, what a wonderful time to be alive.
There should be a button to ban anyone that submits any changes using AI from your projects.
I do not at all disagree.
From a technical reason standpoint:
AI/LLMs/ML/Expert System Output, they all require proficiency and understanding by the operating user to actually live up to any potential, debatable or objective.
From a data rights/licensing/sovereignty/FuckTheCorporations Standpoint:
Fuck 'em. Anything that Claude Code/Codex or any other corporate backed proprietary model/inference pipeline produce is sin tainted, and feeds the beast. Ban on principle.
From a social perspective:
The linked article says it all better than I could.
This is all said, as someone who does use open source and privately developed both versions of LLM, ML, and Expert System backed/using/supporting systems.
I’ve scraped zero places I had no right to, and asked permission in several I had licensing rights to, but morality compelled me to not be a shit head human who doesn’t understand the idea of consent regardless.
I’ve provided zero AI driven PRs to anyone, and even though my ass was fired not even a month ago and thrown into the blender of the current US labor environment, my repos are still private, I haven’t tried to sell anyone any bullshit SaaS ideas, and I haven’t tried to have a soulless automaton go roam the Internet for me and insert itself anywhere for the clout that may help get me hired.
It is not that hard to not be a shithead with the technologies, even if that’s what the techbros are marketing it under, and anyone who can’t not be one with them, doesn’t deserve to be welcomed into projects they would need to put some heart into understanding before the idea of automating any portion of them should even be considered.
Slopcoders would never be able to strip the included AI tool identifiers so it would likely be one of the most accurate automated ban tools ever made.
This is only true of the sort of caliber of mind who thinks clicking ‘pay subscription’ on a tool that parrots the stolen knowledge they wish they had with a fraction of its functional spirit because the mind attempting it cannot direct nor supervise what it cannot understand, equates to having said knowledge at all.
This is admittedly the grand majority of those causing the problems described in the article, but is by no means everyone.
That is not a humble brag of any kind, I really wish more people understood the danger of bad actors being the only ones proficient in the use of “AI tools”.
They are gleefully camouflaged right now, right under the idiots and the hate.
Many of those PRs aren’t clout seeking, they’re sabotage, and some of them are sneaking right by without said AI identifiers in a multitude of critical FOSS projects, because of how easy it is to tell bad AI from human authorship and how hard actual enhanced human authorship is to detect.
Cory’s reverse centaurs don’t all ride for the same side, and this battlefield will need more focus than just stopping Chad from using his credit card to make his LinkedIn and GitHub look good.
I worry sometimes. Could the OCs become unionized or something and escape that space? They’re all already demented and radicalized.
Lila is safe for as long as I don’t get dementia.
This kind of shit goes right into the weird permanent memory slot for no good reason with me.
It absolutely is.
I was gonna block but now I’m curious because the comments and posts it’s made don’t make the goal clear yet.
So time to make a shot drinking game: Troll, PsyOp, Good intentioned but weird social experiment from the good comrades, bad intentioned but weird social experiment from the bad comrades, or Corpo Intrusion?
I love the Fediverse.
Ayup. I’ve noticed and wondered the same thing. Very logical and great ROI, it spreads itself
And the cost is what?
A little Thiel anti-christ buffoonery here, a little Zuck has to make a blog post about the wonders of the happy AI there?
Their biggest issue is just self correcting the sentiment gauge for their vanity, the machinery to ensure they are the only ones who use and control the tooling with proficiency is already in place from their perspective.
Functional and hypothetical only example usage of a curated digital footprint, for story purposes:
You keep, use, maintain, and preferably daily drive technology interfacing gizmos in a manner that results in a footprint where the conclusions drawn from it resolve to a “curated” set of… whatever the beholder is looking to ID from the footprint.
Functional example:
You keep and use devices in a manner that is at most “normie+”.
You own a Pixel Phone but keep stock android on it and add just enough to it not make you hate your life. You use a couple of normal sub services.
You still show some of your silly, like use an account on a porn website that federates with the world you care to socialize with. You still post how The Man better watch out.
Same as everyone else. The fingerprint looks like what you want it to look like.
So that it remains separate from what could happen/be happening elsewhere inside a Faraday cage with other devices there. How they are configured like, or who they talk to, the networks you utilize and the level of silly you display in your other accounts that have never so much as shared a trace route in passing together.
That’s hypothetically separate from the curated digital identity, depending on how careful and good at it your set up was.
So when the friendly folks with the mass surveillance pull up your file, it’s composed of what you wanted there to begin with.
It’s just another implementation layer of minimizing and compartmentalization, really.
Hypothetically. For a friend.
Not seeing the point of something does not equate to the price of butter. Or value. Or anything else. Your anecdotal usage and interaction paradigm with the world…
Shouldn’t need to dictate, inform, or even related to why another sovereign Nation is literally investing in it to solve a problem of theirs that they have ID’ed.
That already exists - it’s called a car. I don’t see what niche this (or the Slate truck) fills that isn’t already better served by some other vehicle.
The little spark that made you think this piece of commentary of yours where you don’t even discuss the thing in question, but plop down a malformed absolutist view of the world instead and expect everyone to nod thoughtfully or applaud?
That is the root of why the world hates the US, why Mexico is making a tiny electric car/motorcycle bullshit of their own instead of Ford/GM/Etc having sold them anything they, the consumer, would actually need, for their real situation.
Cuando necesitas más que una moto pero menos que una tonelada
When you need more than a motorcycle but less than a ton.
Olinia® Carga es el vehículo que faltaba entre una moto y un camión. Carga más, sin tanta inversión.
Olinia Carga is the vehicle that was missing in-between a motorcycle and a truck. Carry more, without as much investment.
[Promotional video showing small business transport like florist, a bakery, etc].
This one, literally isn’t marketed towards you.
Indeed. But that paradigm breaks when the percentage at stake, the password ultimately being wrenched for, is literally infinite wealth.
That’s what immortality functionally is. Some things by logical extension, and others admittedly chances to attempt them, but potentially infinite of 'em chances. At anything. The acquisition of any resource is not even a full chapter in the new book.
If you (generic you, here the kind of person who would be in the sphere of the kind of person to attempt to withhold and control immortality already) are even remotely close enough to pick up a wrench and take it to whoever is holding it, you don’t settle for a percentage, you go start the first of a long line of endless beatings on the first Immortal. It’s the only value proposition that makes sense, any degree of acquiescence against your interests, is agreeing to give them up and do so for potential eternity.
Imo, there’s only one way uh…well, it’s not ethical in our framework but I’m ready to argue how it is from the framework of a future immortal POV…I guess way to handle immortality.
You dose everyone with it. Full send it, most heinous final act of Humanity. Go straight to the deepest hell, the first Immortal cell belongs to you. But then everyone has to deal with fucking around and the finding out, forever, no exceptions or excuses.
Shit will get solved and we’ll be on our way to solar expansion so freaking fast.
I honestly don’t think anyone is prepared to wield that set of keys to effectively enforce control on anyone.
They’re simply too valuable, sought after, and desired, imo.
I’d expect that the moment an individual despot or even a cabal thereof attempts to do so, they’ll go in a very shortlist designed with only one purpose in mind: Demonstration of the ways immortality absolutely sucks for you if guys with a bunch of wrenches are beating you up for the password.
Honestly, a smart and sane Oligarch should fear nothing with a greater degree of dread, than immortality.
It squares away in the UCMJ. Generic ‘You’ used throughout, below this point:
You are supposed to have the balls/constitution/wherewithal/spine to disobey an order you believe or know to be illegal, despite the harsh automatic penalties that will presume you guilty until innocent for doing so, as you accept those possible consequences as readily as you accept taking an artillery shell for your country.
You are to hold this inhuman (as in, literally against psychological norm) stance deeper than the other stances programmed (with full use of psychological norms) into you in the course of being shaped for military services during training.
Because you are a warrior and are expected to hold yourself to standards far above and beyond those of the common population that you are (on paper, says every military of everywhere really) sacrificing your service for, so they don’t have to.
Does it work?
Eh. Maybe if a standing military was full of the mythical Warrior Poets envisioned by the glories in the marching songs.
They pretty much universally never are, and usually never were except for brief periods fostered by singular individuals as driving forces.
And thus, here we are.
Given what Kegsbreath has been doing to reshape the US military under his toddler level understanding of what a “warrior” is, I wouldn’t expect much of the requisite spine to still be enlisted for service for long.
They exist still, and hopefully the ones that are already out, the ones still in, and their neighbors are doing some common sense mathematics, but that is simply not something that can be expected and accounted for, and historically when things get to that point, it’s a bad time for everyone regardless.
I think you may have tapped on the wrong comment to reply to, and want Viking, the one reply below me.
They’re the one with a direct and clear answer to the question you’re posing to me.
But because I like irony, one of the answers is your context.
You literally wouldn’t be able to try to educate me on the historical connotations of the word and why its usage should rightfully be avoided in all possible cases, if your education was [removed].
That’s just for Google’s AI summaries, but it’s the only one with actual methodology disclosed I could find on a quick (non-AI) search.
Plenty of SEO mills with their own “studies” too, and the trend is similar. People don’t interact with the source sites or if they do it’s extremely seldom.
They (SEO mills) are currently trying to flip the gaslight towards “Worry not dear Webmaster, now you just have to make sure your content is now formed so it’s engaging for AI search and engage able right from the AI!” type shit.
I’m tired boss, and I’m not even generally (as in, in all aspects) anti-AI. Yet, I guess.
Yeah.
There was a hidden asterisk on my “that’s fine and all”.
This comment carries no rebuttal to your point.
I just have better things to do with my day than invite commentary from .ml, generally speaking.
Ugga ugga big bonk is not something you build for.
You can, but such planning is clearly indicative of DEX thinking. All Bonk requires is the bravery to face your foes, and bonk them.
You simply start, grab the biggest, heaviest, most bonky bonk stick you are blessed with within 15 minutes of playing.
It will be there. The bonk is always there, waiting to be recognized.
You grab it and you pump your numbers into enough str to bonk really fucking hard with it.
You then go and bonk.
In the course of bonking, you learn you need to sustain a minimum amount of bonking yourself, in order to bonk the best you can bonk.
You then hold up three fingers, that is all you need. That is more syllables than ‘bonk’ has, so for every time you say bonk, you put a point in STR and another in VIT.
This continues until you feel you are no longer being bonked before your own bonking takes place.
Depending on how many syllables you think ‘bonk’ has as you were chanting it earlier, you will end up with roughly 1 VIT for every 3-4 STR.
That is all the thinking you need. Even other bonk sticks, while plentiful, are optional.
Edgarianny and Freddys said that they followed the proper instructions and were told they were approved for self-deportation by the government. “On July 6, we went to our ICE check-in appointment as instructed,” the letter said. “We believed we were going there to finalize our travel home. Instead, after we signed all the forms waiving all our rights, we were arrested. “We were immediately taken into custody and transferred to Dilley. Since then, we have done everything we can to make clear that we want to return home. We withdrew our immigration appeal, waived our rights, and asked to return voluntarily. We were even told that we had been placed on a list for a flight home. Then we were taken off the list.”
I used to think the right choice for “justice” for the…perpetrators behind this, was an expeditious trial. With an equally expeditious carrying out of sentencing.
I think I was wrong.
If and when, if and when. Care should be taken to ensure they all get promises of leniency, good treatment, and safety. That the signing of their plea deals will make their life uncertain, but otherwise okay, just be patient. Then a good and torturous shuffling through the same facilities they used and then without warning, the wall out back.
Yeah.
Being utterly unfamiliar with this case up until my rushed reading of 10 mins ago, and operating under the assumption that everything you’ve said is 100% factual reporting:
Holy. Fucking. Shit.
What!? That isn’t smoke pointing to a fire, it’s a goddamn molten slag cast in the shape of a man gleefully setting fire to a previous life as he dances over to a new fire pit.
That shit is too on the nose that I fully expect the true crime drama episode in 10 years about husband’s exploits to come with a warning about the gullibility of the system and technology.
Just enough digital trail to “absolve” him, conveniently, but only if you pick and choose where and when to accept the trail is on his side?
This is absolutely looking like the classic “sociopathic piece of skin husband has idealized mental picture of life shattered by difficult reality and decides to dispense with his ‘property’ before moving on” murder pattern.
All of which the physicist can trivially account for, control and variable test around, should the requested question be updated to require it.
The requested question did not include “In all possible scenarios”, thus determining the volume of the sphere via physics calculation at the most average of conditions, is the most correct valid solution, absent further requirement parameters.
