So if humans aren't welcome (except to observe), does it have some kind of reverse captcha that only lets bots in? I wonder if it's more reliable than the regular kinds of captchas.

The reason for the circuit board, is to make sure you have to buy more ink before it's actually really gone.

I bought one of these recently, and I love it! No cartridges to replace, and the ink is about 95% cheaper per page, than HP cartridges.

If your "investing" is in a CEO's snake oil, then you are indeed gambling. If you are investing in Walmart stock, that is not gambling, Walmart is a highly valuable asset in its own right.

All I can say is, you're blowing smoke. I'd answer each of your points, but you're not listening, you're too full of your own supposed knowledge.

Well there's your problem then! We don't have those things.

And even if we did have fusion power, that doesn't pay for other stuff we want.

And guess what, under the surface, pretty much everybody is selfish. Maybe except somebody like Mother Teresa, but if you asked her, she would say that even she is selfish at her core.

Yes, people are often kind, to a point. There is always a limit to their generosity.

Machine learning can be, and often is, done through algorithms that are not related to AI. For example, standard statistical models are a type of traditional machine learning. A SQL database is one such piece of software: it is constantly taking statistical samples to "learn" what kind of data is in its tables, to make queries more efficient. No one would say that SQL statistical modeling is "AI".

When LLMs read patterns of pixels, they are not really any longer acting as an LLM. Another example is that LLM chatbots often do math. This is not a function of LLM, but is additional functionality that has been integrated into the chatbot.

With that said, there's not a lot of difference between recognizing pixel patterns and token patterns, to a computer, they're all just sequences of numbers. That is why LLMs are a subset of AI, and not the other way around.

This is very muddled logic. Conservatives do their best to roll back what Progressives do.

And before you go there, I'll remind you that Trump is not conservative, he is *populist.*

Way to generalize there. So you know the motivation of every conservative, do you?

If it's marketing, it's worked, because I believe in it.

A statement only a conspiracy theorist would believe.

No, real conspiracies are specific and involve real, actual people. Some real conspiracies include:
- The Iran-Contra affair
- The tobacco industry coverup of cancer risks from tobacco
- Edward Snowden exposed real NSA conspiracies to surveil Americans
- The Watergate cover-up
None of these started with conspiracy theories.

Conspiracy theories, on the other hand, are vague and shadowy:
- "The government" shot up Sandy Hook Elementary in order to bring about stricter gun control
- "The government" destroyed the World Trade Center towers to justify war
- "The elite" drank the blood of children in a quest for immortality
None of these will lead to conspiracy fact.

Oh now that's funny! That's a tin-foil-hat conspiracy theory if I've ever heard one!

This so-called law is a caricature of modern Trumpism, and has nothing to do with conservatism. Trump himself, has nothing to do with conservatism.

Conservatism is a philosophy of limited government, the right to personal property, and equal justice for all, among other things. Lots of people *call* themselves conservative, but are not.

And conspiracy theories are not in fact, fact. Yes, conspiracies exist. But conspirators have actual names and do actual things. Conspiracy theories suggest nameless, faceless perpetrators who do vague, ominous things.

And since the "ruling class" is far from a unified, formidable force, their "trick" wasn't very good either.

The funny thing is, Apple is also controlled by super-rich people. So are they aggravating themselves? Why would they do that? Clearly, some rich people's goals are contrary to other rich people's goals. The "ruling class" as you call them, isn't a unified body, but rather, a chaos of conflicting goals and desires for supremacy. This conflict is what keeps them from truly becoming and all-powerful "ruling class."
