No, just perpetually constipated.

Telomeres don’t shorten at a fixed rate, though, so determining age from that doesn’t work.

I clicked the link and immediately thought “wow this is going to be nothing more than an obnoxious load of marketing wank” as soon as I saw the loading bar appear and take 20 seconds to fill.

I was right.

I drove for Schneider for about a year and the standard equipment inverter was more than enough for my computer at the time (i9-12900k, 2070 super). I could run the microwave at the same time too… it was probably at least 2kw.

But yeah, it kinda sucked not knowing if I was going to be docked for 30 minutes or 4 hours… it was always best to be able to get paid to play video games or take a nap.

I can’t speak for everyone but for me, I’m not going to sit down and play a game unless I can do it for at least an hour or two. Almost all of the games I have aren’t the type where I can just pick something up for 15-30 minutes and not leave completely unsatisfied because I couldn’t actually accomplish anything.

As far as actually having free 1-2 hour blocks? Ha. Yeah, right. I mean, maybe after work on the rare occasion that I can put off the things I need to do for a bit and the stress about them later, keeping me from playing anything for another 2 weeks… that’s the best-case scenario for working full-time and I don’t even have kids.

Human posting of AI-generated content is definitely a problem; but ultimately that’s a moderation problem that can be solved, which is quite different from AI-generated content being put forward by the platform itself. There wasn’t necessarily anything stopping people from doing the same thing pre-GPT, it’s just easier and more prevalent now.

This. I often see people shitting on AI as “fancy autocomplete” or joking about how they get basic things incorrect like this post but completely discount how incredibly fucking capable they are in every domain that actually matters. That’s what we should be worried about… what does it matter that it doesn’t “work the same” if it still accomplishes the vast majority of the same things? The fact that we can get something that even approximates logic and reasoning ability from a deterministic system is terrifying on implications alone.

Yeah if California secedes, fruits, nuts, and vegetables would get a whole lot more expensive for the rest of the country… something like half of our produce comes from California.

So… everyone who doesn’t risk their lives for a small chance of making a difference is a fascist? Yeah, sure, that checks out. “If you’re not with us then you’re against us” is not and has never been valid logic.

They say welding fumes can cause neurological damage…
