Iâ(TM)ve truly thought that there were missed opportunities to develop social interactions and connections here like Reddit would go on to have (in the past golden days of that site).

Even though the note about his friends passing is personal, it touched me too. It feels like âoeone of usâ has passed.

I'm glad I'm not the only one smart enough to see the obvious weakness in their plan. A machine that barely understands "go left", "go right", "extrude filament", etc isn't going to understand "Don't print gun parts, mmmkay?"...

And even if they do revise it to including slicing software, good luck enforcing that in open source slivers not based in the USA...

Exactly how do they envision an autocomplete gaining sentience?

It hasn't been "autocomplete" in a long time. Sure, there's a training step based on a corpus of Human language, and the autoregressive process outputs a single token at a time, but reinforcement learning trains specific behaviors beyond merely completing a sentence.

Besides, the best way to write something indistinguishable from what a Human might write is to, well, "think" like a Human.

The "truth" is that NPR covered a well-documented liar, fraud, and "reality" TV host

Yet this horrible person managed to do the singular thing the previous person was unable to do - and that is to gain control over and close the Southern border!

Also, for the first time in years we are starting to see deaths due to drug overdose decline.

There is truly a lot to hate Trump for. But hate for a guy does not mean anything. Results do.

The point was not the firearm charges. The point was the Burisma dealings of Joe Biden who at the time was running for presidency.

The amount of outright censorship about the laptop was also legion. Countless accounts were banned who dared to mention that the laptop was real.

Your narrow focus on one issue surrounding the laptop exemplifies the dismissiveness of the outright truth telling by various people who do not align with the Democrat party.

I like a lot of progressive ideas. But I do not believe in using censorship to obtain them or putting the thumbs on the scales to win an election - which the censorship amounted to.

Are we, as a sapient species facing an uncertain prospect of continuence in a world full of rapidly-advancing bullshit going to learn from this catastrophic and absurdly predictable failure of information security, personal and professional ethics, civilian government, market economics, basic common sense, and consumer psychology?

What do you say, and why is it also "no"?

The demographic that helped put Trump into office was actually Hispanics. Do you think they cared if his opponent was black or not? Or the fact that his opponent came off as a clown that only cared about abortion as the single greatest issue facing the nation?? Or that "new arrivals" were taking the very jobs that they work at?

I'm pretty sure there's a list of reasons where race was not a primary factor. Not to mention that Obama, a black person, was elected president.

When everyone cops out and single mindedly puts their scapegoat excuses front and center, 'demented' people who actually vote will continue to vote for the 'wrong' person.

The dementia reaches across party lines. The GOP is insufferable in some areas, but the question needs to be asked "exactly how did they get elected?" The reason is a person who was really suffering from dementia wrongly decided they could run and win the presidency a second time.

So just keep that in mind when you throw the "demented" word around. Spoken as a political infependent.

Yes. In fact they are - well planning to. ATSC 3.0 allows encryption of so called "free" over the air TV and they are only doing that so they can actually override the FCC and stop people recording shows.

This feels like one of those stupid "free market" republican ideas that later comes back to bite everyone in the butt. Probably on the same level as the promise Congress people used to make that we could one day buy our own TV cable boxes.
