People who are smart in one or two domains often overestimate how smart they are in other domains. They develop a mental model, confirm it quickly, and never re-asses it.

The issue with AI, is we’re probably hitting our first real S curve with the current technology’s performance but a lot of people who bet big are only see the exponential part and assuming there won’t be a level off, or that the level of is far away.

There is no Moore’s law for AI.

I always set a timer when I do stuff like that because I will forget.

Some folks are born, silver fork in hand. But when the wait staff comes with the bill, lord the purse looking like a rummage sale.

Damn, ate something so bad it couldn’t wait to come out the other end?

Had 2 weeks of those in january. Not super fun, but my sleep was way better after I stopped.

Still there. It acts up if I don’t keep on top of my oral hygiene for a while, I just brush twice a day, floss once, and get a cleaning done periodically, nothing crazy. And it hasn’t been a problem for a long time.

I got my other wisdom teeth removed like 10 years ago, so this one has his been chilling in my jaw for a decade without issue.

For me, they said my wisdom tooth was too impacted, so unless it was causing pain O should just leave it because removing it could damage a nerve and leave part of my face numb.

And I’m in the US, and dentists are constantly trying to upcharge you for whitening and other stuff, so I took that warning seriously.

Then you have more revenue so it’s easier to launder large cash payments through it.

Oof, if you’re going to run a money laundering business at least either provide a good product or a cheap price.

Yep that sounds like a flying object that no one identified.

I’m no English major, but I’m pretty sure @SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world calling it weird is a rhetorical device known as sarcasm.

That being said, you also don’t know where the bottom will be, so slowly buying into a falling market should let you get a good amount of buys in close to the bottom.

Thankfully, Elon has shown that whatever Trump mystique there is won’t magically transfer to someone else just because they’re associated with him.

Dude, I held my nose and voted blue no matter who, they didn’t uphold their end of the deal by actually putting forward policy ideas that might help people so here we are.

Most democratic voters I know don’t actually like the democratic party, they just hate Republicans more.

No, the Democratic leadership is ineffective at best, complicit at worst. They need to go so we have an actual opposition party. They’re not going to do anything but save their own asses.

10 democrats voted with Republicans to censure one of their own. They need to clean house before they can actually mount any opposition.

Blue no matter who was kicking the can down the road to buy some time, but was never a real solution. They weren’t even able to Garner enough popular support so now we’re in this mess.

Time to put people in who are as passionate about protecting the constitution as the current party leadership is about crushing populist candidates.

What do you think “America” is? Its a societal mindset and ideology which are held by various subsets of the population. Ultimately, we can’t rely on half the country to do shit if we want to enact change, they need to be dragged kicking and screaming into a free society with a strong middle class. Its not enough that we can convince them to join because egg prices are high, or their pet government project was cut because we’re just going to end up back in the same place in 10-15 years when they forget. We need durable change enacted by principled leaders who we need to raise into seats of power and continue to hold accountable.

It also isn’t one man. Its a large swath of people afraid of perceived change, along with opportunists who want to be the future king’s puppeteers that are happily playing into old prejudicial narratives to drum up support. He’s not some mastermind who can do this without think tanks to come up with concrete plans like project 2025. Remember, he got 77 million votes. That’s not a radical subset, and we can’t plead ignorance or assumed he would have fallen into line once elected, we already had 4 years of this dictator wannabe.

I don’t think we should be petty, I think we should be very specific in our critiques and what is and is not acceptable in a free society. You’re allowed to be an asshole, you’re allowed to not like mexican food, you can even support stronger border controls, be against federally backed student loans or think USAID should be defunded or be opposed to abortion. You can’t be willing to throw out the entire system of government in order to achieve those goals and have me willing to consider you a fellow American. The basic rules of engagement need to be something that is held sacred and it needs to be built around the empowerment of individuals with strong controls against undue influence.

Someone with a billion dollars should not have a louder voice than a collection of tens of millions of US citizens with a combined net worth of 1 billion dollars. Neither party’s leadership believes our country should run on these fundamentals, so who else is going to fight for this?

We do not stand together, a subset of the population is standing in support for a free and equal society, while others are just trying to get one up on their neighbors and yet more are just standing around willfully ignorant to this conflict with their fingers in their ears afraid of being uncomfortable until they are eventually forced to care.

As someone in the US living in a very progressive district, the general vibe of Democratic voters is what we should have gotten 8 years ago and even now I still get people saying we need to be more moderate and reach across the aisle.

There is nothing for us across the aisle. Without a fundamental rework of the minority party we just end up back here 10-15 years later because fundamental issues aren’t solved and miserable people are easier to sell racist exploitative policies too. If you are comfortable and secure you’re more likely to support helping others without worrying about it putting you on the streets.

I held my nose and voted blue no matter who, but there needs to be some consequences to supporting genocide. If Democratic leaders are going to hide behind bureaucracy then we need to go around it or we’re on the hook for whatever human rights abuses are done in our name.

I’m all for dunking on elon, but you really shouldn’t have put any of the children’s pictures and especially not names in there and left them all as shadows.

I have a roll of coins in my pocket, but I’m happy to see you so I can give you these coins. I also have a massive erection.

Erections are no joke. You could poke an eye out with one of those.
