It doesn’t remove them. It “treats” them… like ordinary people, rather than gods.

I can’t think of a better way to stop violent crime and corruption than to dissolve the organized criminal organization currently threatening American streets and homes. Banning ICE seems like a good first step.

Wholesome laughs? On my internet??

Holy shit. I just realized I can’t tell the difference between two of these people. All of them are just sin in skin suits.

Wolf decries Red Riding Hood for looking too closely at Granny.

This is why Fahrenheit 451 (and not 1984) is my go-to analogy for today’s plight: Bradbury correctly predicted that people would willingly walk themselves into an oppressive technocracy for the sake of entertainment and convenience.

There are two ways to make money, and both of them are fleeting: Creating new cutting edge AI services (EXPENSIVE) or consulting others who are asking the same questions you are (CHEAP, but requires the usual salesmanship and won’t be lucrative for long as others start to recognize these same truths).

If you create a capable LLM or other model that is more efficient, reliable and/or less expensive than others on the market, then maybe. But if you don’t already have the resources to do that (ie, if you plan to use an existing AI as a service), then no, you will simply be a consumer and not a producer.

That’s not to say you can’t find uses for it, but there’s nothing you can do with it that all the other users won’t be able to replicate without paying you.

Well yeah, but what if somebody else gets them too? /s

True enough, and I expected to get checked on that.

Regardless… along with the archives, assets and versioned duplicates, my old projects dating back to the 90s somehow now fill multiple TB of old hard drives that I continue to pack-rat away in my office. Useless and pointless to keep, but every piece was once a priority for someone.

Or one can prove that you are unable to get to that result yourself.

Oh shit… I’ve got terabytes of code I’ve written over the years that I’d be hard-pressed to even begin to understand today. The other day I discovered a folder full of old C++ libraries I wrote 20+ years ago, and I honestly don’t remember ever coding in C++.

Or about anything most Americans have enjoyed since 2008.

Say Hi to Weehawken for me.

I think we just did.

I prefer gangs that AREN’T run by pedophiles.

My Apple One account is in serious danger of lapsing, Tim Apple.

Did you forget about Oakleys? There’s nothing cool about a J6’er.

I used to think my “unpredictable” poker style made me good at the game, but then I actually learned how to play, and never thought that again. Being bad at something doesn’t make you good at it, Donnie.

Their names have been released, while the sender of the email stating “Your littlest was extra naughty” was redacted. Try to tell me this DOJ isn’t protecting pedophiles.

I’m more amazed that “fly” (as in “fly girl” or “fly for a white guy”) dates back to 1753.

Hula Hoops or Helen Hunt?
