Maybe Iran could start up their own AI farm and create an appropriate LLM that understands that custom. Of course, that would limit the overall knowledge base and usefulness of it for anything outside of cultural interactions...

... everyone who has an account there went in and disallowed use of their accounts for this. But as others have noted, it's Microsoft... so who knows if they will actually honor it or not.

Outside of a very small community (of which I am a member) this won't even register as a problem, let alone motivate a sizeable number of people to do anything about it. Our species lacks the will to even stop literally poisoning ourselves.

Liberals are fairly consistent in defending people's right to their faith while speaking out against people who want to impose their faith on others.

Agreed 100%.

AI is mostly a toy, but it can also be a useful tool. Unfortunately it's becoming a crutch and something that's taking away critical thinking and research skills. Remember this one from about 6 weeks ago? Anything AI gives you as a result must be verified.

Iâ(TM)m not suggesting we criminalize ideas or the expression thereof, Iâ(TM)m saying they shouldnâ(TM)t be engaged or acknowledged as something worth discussing.

How would you constructively debate someone who believes certain ethnic groups shouldnâ(TM)t exist or should be property?

Israel is freeing the shit out of those people.

I reject the idea that all viewpoints should be tolerated and treated as valid and worthy of debate. It is a cowardly position that inevitably enables atrocities.

No, they said that about automation, and they weren't wrong, it just largely missed white-collar jobs. Until now.

Eating too much sugar is just as bad and can cause problems as well. Try looking at the nutrition labels on packages... compare a "fat free" version of a product to its regular counterpart. Fats bring a lot of flavor to food... so making it "fat free" means they make it bland. The only way to bring flavor back is to add sugar, so that nutrition and ingredients label will reflect that sugar was added. Sugar is addictive too. I refuse to drink "diet" or "no sugar" drinks. I'd rather get 100% fruit juice and dilute it with some sparkling water.

Always!

I'd be fine with this. Recently Audible removed a book from my library and essentially told me to kick rocks. I'd listened to it when I first got it, and although I wanted to go back and check something in one of the chapters (which is how I found the book was no longer available), it's not the end of the world: it's just $15 they stole from me.

I'm glad you got to have kids and watch them grow from birth. I never got to do that; I married a gal and the boys were already ten and eleven years old when I entered their life.

I agree. I think a second benefit could be that interested high school (or college) students now get a data source that doesn't change locations from administration to administration. It is mildly frustrating to me that many government websites simply change where things are each year. Worse is when a department goes through the amazingly beneficial operation of name change. /s

Apparently this was a new test, essentially A B testing. The only difference in the two sets of email were that one set had links to ActBlue and the other set had links to WinRed. The complaint is that the WinRed linking emails were marked as spam but the ActBlue linking emails were not.
