Ok, putting aside for a moment China’s totally honest and not at all fudged number of incarcerated people…

The US allowing prison labour is something I’m disgusted by.

But it’s still a far cry from abducting people based on their religion, sometimes sterilising them so they can’t have kids, threatening them with their life, threatening their family, and forcing them to work in factories or in construction, then using that slave labour to undercut and kill foreign competition.

Don’t try to twist this into a “you’re complaining about China therefore you think the US is great”. I’m saying China is far worse. Because they are, and only a complete muppet would think otherwise.

Maybe you’re ok with what China does (slavery and genocide), but I am not.

99% of the swearing comes in radio messages, which are already delayed and bleeped.

Sulayem talking about the need to respect other cultures is hilarious considering he lost his shit at Hamilton and Vettel for thinking LGBT people are human beings worthy of respect, and at Lando for talking about helping people experiencing mental health issues.

But hey, would it really still be the FIA if the guys at the top weren’t pieces of shit?

And is it just me or does MBS’s previous incessant bitching about Hamilton (for his views, for him not attending the FIA Gala after AD2021, over his nose stud supposedly being highly dangerous, etc), combined with him now complaining about people who “talk like rappers” and saying “that’s them, not us” come across a little like dogwhistle?

I said 25-35, not 25.

Mighty Boosh (2003-07)

Lots

Chicken Run (2000)

Lots

Who Shot Phil Mitchell (2001)

Not many

Caroline Quentin-era Jonathan Creek (1997-2000)

A reasonable amount

Or know people who were extras in the Harry Potter films (2001-11)

A similar amount to people that are 5 years older. I.e. not many in the grand scheme of things.

remember the Animals of Farthing Wood TV programme (1993-97)

Not many

or spilled their drink on Miquita Oliver at a squat party in 2007 (2007)?

I don’t even know what that is and I’m 39. I doubt many people did in any age group.

A lot of your comment seems to be based on the assumption that people only watch films/TV that’s just coming out now, and therefore no young adults will know anything that came from the 90s or early 2000s.

I don’t see what this has to do with the fact that China utilises slave labour from a religious minority group they are currently genociding to aid in their construction and manufacturing sector.

To my knowledge, you go to prison in the US when you commit a crime, as opposed to a labour camp where you are sterilised then made to build Fords under threat of death.

Yes it’s very different. Tesla certainly overworks their employees by basically expecting them to do overtime, and engages in anti-union shadiness, but that pales in comparison to utilising slave labour from a religious minority group they subjugate and have even been known to sterilise, as well as harm family members of those who aren’t behaving as the CCP wants them to.

Tesla still has to abide by US environmental regulations, which while not as strict as you’d find in Europe, are a hell of a lot stricter than China.

Tesla still has to follow construction and safety laws that, again while not super strict like in much of Europe, is a hell of a lot stricter than China.

The US also doesn’t subsidise exported Teslas in a move to exterminate foreign car companies before ramping up prices.

The 2nd. And even then, you can just turn off version checking and extensions generally just work.

The secret is heavy subsidy, very little worker protections/safety, very little environmental protection, and slave labour.

That’s not what was said. What was said was anybody using it in any capacity for any job should be fired.

Which is obviously a very, very stupid take.

Literally none of that goes against what I’ve said.

Hiring people to work on local AI features and accessibility features does not mean it’s their only focus.

Completely silly take, and not the gotcha you think it is.

Doesn’t look bad.

Nobody is talking about making vaping illegal entirely.

Alcohol already usually has restrictions on drinking it when walking down the street.

Sure there are some places (e.g. UK) where it isn’t, but even there local authorities have the power to forbid it if they want to.

Currently smoking doesn’t have this, and neither does vaping.

Not true at all lol

And locally-run translation that utilises AI, as well as AI accessibility features for blind users isn’t nefarious. I mean, unless you dislike private translations and would rather send that data to Google, or hate blind people, but I’d hope you don’t.

People need to actually look into features before they have a stupid and completely reactionary “it says AI therefore evil” response. People who react that way are morons.

Here is literally no different.

Don’t you be bringing nuance into this.

If you used an LLM to find that mistyped variable name, you deserve to lose your job. You and your family must suffer.

If you are blind and you use a screen reader with some AI features, you should be fired and that tech needs to be taken from you. You must suffer.

Honestly we should just kill them, even. In a very painful and torturous way.

You’re right. Within 10 seconds I just found an article from 2006 saying just that. Earlier ones likely exist.

Indeed. GPs have been doing this for a long time. It’s nothing new, and expecting every GP to know every single ailment that humanity has ever experienced, to recall it quickly, and immediately know the course of action to take, is unreasonable. They are only human.

Like you say, if they’re blindly following a generic ChatGPT instance trained on whatever crap it’s scraped from the internet, then that’s bad.

If they’re aiding their search using an LLM that has been trained on a good medical dataset, then taking that and looking more into it, then there’s no issue.

People have become so reactionary to LLMs and other AI stuff. It seems there’s a “omg it’s so cool everybody should use it to the max. Let’s blindly trust it!” camp and a “it’s awful and shouldn’t exist, burn it all! No algorithms or machine learning anywhere. New tech is bad!”

Both camps are just as stupid. There’s zero nuance in the discussion about this stuff, and it’s tiring.

And they’re the only people who can easily do it.

Anybody else needs a new motherboard and RAM. And for those people, they’re like “hmmm I can spend $700+ upgrading to Zen5, or I could spend $180 on a 5700X3D, not have to pull my entire PC apart, and get about the same real-world performance because I’ll be GPU bottlenecked anyway.”

Both the PS5 and Steam deck’s CPU architecture are Zen2. So the 5950X is the most modern (Zen3)

I mean, maintaining an instance is a larger job than having a twitter account. I don’t think they’re all that comparable.
