I've heard that Nethack is absurdly complicated.

I'm still playing Hack 1.0.3. (On WSL.) Maybe it's finally time to try Nethack.

The manufacturers aren't the problem. They aren't the ones who make the rules about how their product is used on public thoroughfares.

The context of that phrase is almost always used for people who invite regulation with their own foolish/dangerous behavior.

And as her +70.9% gains in 2024 were somewhat extraordinary, Nancy Pelosi spawned a host of similar apps - I believe autopilot has subsequently been broadened to include other lawmakers of both parties.

So yeah your AI can outperform a doctor that gets 5 minutes with the patient before having to move on to the next one in order to keep their private equity Masters satisfied.

So, suppose, we stick it to the "private equity Masters", compel them to double the number of doctors — forget for a second, who is going to pay for them — and afford them a whopping 10 minutes with the patient.

ChatGPT will still beat humans... And it will be getting better with every month, whereas the humans will not...

A new study from Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess found that an OpenAI reasoning model outperformed experienced ER doctors at diagnosing and managing patient cases

AI is sufficiently anthropomorphic to be capable of making mistakes. Demanding perfection from it is stupid. It does not need to be error-free. It just needs to be better than humans...

FWIW I fully agree with you that the PEOPLE of other races aren't themselves the problem.

The problem is the exploitative cleave-lines that leaves for opportunism in democracies. It's so much easier to blame easily-visually-identifiable "others" than actually address much more subtle and pervasive issues like poverty, drug abuse, etc.

I'd point to immigration as an example. The US is quite literally a nation of immigrants.
The most patriotic people I know are 0th or 1st-gen immigrants.The problem they immediately identify is that now the centrifugal forces seem to be winning - instead of new immigrants being encouraged to become American, they're pushed into factional enclaves and the melting pot is lost. (Their comments, not mine.)

LOL "flamebait" for describing the immediate replies accurately.

Pardon me for calling a spade a spade. I didn't mean to offend.

So you're saying that - literally - the whitest, most homogeneous society on earth is the best place to live, exemplary in structure, society, and well-being?

And insisting that's what ... complete coincidence?

Funny, that.

You neglected to factor in the fact the Musk - for ideological reasons, let's be clear - is hated almost as much as the Orange Tyrant on slashdot.

Meaning that facts-be-damned, Elon MUST somehow be made the bad guy. Even if that's irrelevant.
The simplest explanation - that he tossed some $ at an opensource competitor to Google, and then this entity took his $ and turned for-profit - must be discarded.

Look at the replies to your comment.
- "well Musk tried to buy it later" how does this matter to whether a business was funded on false premises?
- "well Musk was going to take it for-profit." Setting aside that this is essentially verbatim OpenAI's own argument against the suit, again, what Musk was "going to do" isn't relevant. Yes, whether it's on moral grounds or Elon being butthurt at being cut out, the point of "we take your $ as a nonprofit, turn it into a for-profit but keep your $" is the question.
- your daring to side with Musk means you apparently implicitly fellate Musk. Persuasive, certainly.
All of these, note, are 'climbing' in mod points.

I mean, it's pathological: Everyone here is largely against AI and Sam Altman...until Elon's the other side.

At least this time you presented something more nuanced than "people can't afford housing because they spend too much on other things". You could have led with that.

Also, I live about as far from California as is geographically possible within the lower 48, so I'm not assuming any blame for what happens there.

I fully agree with this move by the EU and do rather often approve their commonsense pro-consumer legislation.

As a small-government conservative, I believe it's one of the main remits of government to counter monopoly behavior. ... At the same time, I recognize that the EU isn't nearly democratic enough, and does unfortunately stray into overregulation / wealth-farming from "naughty capitalists" who dare to be successful/don't kowtow to the EU.

NEITHER the US model nor the EU models are great.

No. They did not.

The original geofence warrant identified 19 devices.

The police narrowed it down to nine that fit the movement pattern and requested more detailed information on those nine.

The police then requested the identifying information (actual names) of the three most suspicious individuals.

They did a background check and identified Mr. Chatrie as the most likely suspect based on his criminal record and other factors.

Only his home was searched. A few more might have been searched if nothing was found at his house.

The other people are likely not aware that their records were ever given to the police.

Not really.
Here is the report, finding it really didn't take a lot of chasing.

I recommend you read https://www.nationalreview.com... as well. Putnam is clearly uncomfortable with his findings (credit to him for still honestly publishing the data; not sure that would happen in 2026), and so makes some leaps unsupported by what he presents, as in
"it's a short-term effect"...based on absolutely nothing in the report.
"we will find new ways to boost social solidarity." that's ideology and faith, not data.
He talks about the 'benefits outweighing the disadvantages' again, failing to prove anything about the benefits.

And yes, to your point all my data is American data. Absolutely agree that different scales apply to different contexts, nationalities, etc (Reference here Geert Hofstede's seminal work on cultural alignments and differences in such issues).

I find it curious and unsurprising in 2026 that my post - which was intended to be challenging - has been modded to -1 Troll. This is the case for nearly any unpopular political stance on Slashdot today.
