Yes, that should work. Barbara, what do you think?

In Perry's case, he was involved in the January 6th insurrection and was in contact with Trump's DOJ. He tried to have votes thrown out, spread the usual conspiracy lies about the election, and tried to block certification of the vote in Pennsylvania.

Considering the number of anime sites which have been taken down in the last month, it's having an effect.

Why is it problematic? As I asked, how is this any different than asking people to help with a particular passage? If they give you suggestions and you act on those suggestions, is it not "fruit of the poisonous tree"? It's not your work any longer, is it? It's the work they gave you.

I am not defending the wholesale use of AI in writing. I'm asking only about specific lines or maybe a paragraph, where you know it's not right, but aren't sure how to correct it.

Beta readers are technically doing the same thing. You give your work to them and they offer you suggestions for changes or edits. No different than AI/LLM.

Let us suppose you are writing a story/book and you know there are places which you just can't quite get the wording the way you want it.

If you plug only that portion into an LLM and ask for suggestions, would that be considered "cheating"? If so, why would that be any different than asking someone, or someones, to read what you wrote and offer suggestions?

I'm not saying that's what happened here, clearly it was all written by a machine, but is using such a tool to edit your work or get suggestions, bad?

They're not gambling if you have a real-world stake in an outcome addressed by one of these markets.

I have a real-world stake in the outcome of a roulette spin. Either I win money or I don't. How is that any different than saying I win or lose if something happens or doesn't happen on one of these markets?

For some reason, the Control Panel is still here after 10+ years of trying to get the Settings app to be feature complete

Because Control Panel is the best and fastest way to find what you want. It is clearly laid out, descriptive, and allows you to get things done.

Whereas, Settings is configured as if someone threw a ball of yarn into a box and let a cat play with it, then the cat threw up from playing so hard.

No, it's fine. Texas says so.

smaller, deep-sea organisms ... named conjecture.

Thought I recognized one name, Cavill, but never saw anything they listed for him. Musta been somebody else. Hollywood continues its streak of not being part of my life.

I'd prefer if it applied to people who drive below the speed limit, brake at green lights, or who brake going down small hills. That, and those who drive Subarus or Buicks.

You want Iran to have nukes to spite Trump.

I want Irant to have nukes to piss off Israel.

We are not the same.

One aspect of enshittification that people don't talk about much is that sites do need to make money to continue. They can't be free forever.

Yes they can. If musicians, software companies, and movie producers don't need to be paid for what they produce, these sites don't need to be paid either.

An AI has no capability to have feelings

And what is a feeling? Based on Wiki:

In other words, a feeling is a reaction to an external stimuli. Since reactions are nothing but the neural connections in our brains responding to the external stimuli, there is little reason to say an AI, with its digital connections, can't respond to external stimuli in a similar fashion.
