The man will either die before he experiences consequences for his actions, or he will die as a consequence of his actions. But agreed, I don’t think he will ever experience consequences before then.

Might be a PieFed thing, I’ve never seen it on Lemmy

Instructions unclear, shot my hookup in the neck.

This is incredible.

I was right to respect witches.

Ah yes, known supporter of Israel, Zohran Mamdani.

Includes AOC, Sanders, and Mamdani too, so I guess we lump them in with the liberals again.

LA is the only place you can wake up, have authentic jianbing for breakfast, go down the street for some authentic tamales for lunch, and around the corner for some authentic sushi for dinner.

And then when you get tired of authentic, you can take advantage of all the blended culture. Bulgogi tacos, curry spaghetti, pizza baos, etc.

I haven’t had many opportunities to visit, but dear god the food was beyond words.

Russia, more like. There was a huge amount of Russian-sponsored disinfo found to be circulating during the Brexit referendum.

The main link between the US and Brexit is only that the US is currently following Russian masters as well.

Hell if it were the gallows, wearing a necklace with a knot might have become prescribed religious attire.

Not that far off from neckties as standard office wear, to be honest.

I’m out of the loop, is it just someone being completely oblivious to the large coal plant in the background, or does the character have like a chronic illness causing them to cough?

Love me some good deep fried memes.

I feel like the first paragraph loses me in the premise a bit. It brings up everyday bits of “nonsense” that do make sense when you take a step back and think for a bit.

For example, bringing kids to daycare. It was pretty common in many cultures (and even in some to this day) for the act of raising kids to be a communal practice. The kids spend the day at the local creche or under the supervision of village elders while the parents are away, and this in turn makes it easier for the parents to do the work that supports a community. We add an additional abstraction layer of currency in the modern day because “what happens if your sitter doesn’t need more fabrics?” but otherwise the basic concept is the same.

And I love wearing neckties because it’s one of the few pieces of men’s fashion that you actually have a say in. Everything is so conformist except for these colorful bits of decorative cloth, and I think they look nice. May as well ask “why wear anything other than a cloth sack?”

If the goal is to compare the absurdity of driving cars to these sorts of scenarios as if to say “none of it makes sense if you think about it,” I think it becomes a counterproductive exercise given that some of them do actually make sense to a lot of people.

Mine was a Galaxy S8. Barely perceptible, but I noticed that the section of screen where I used to have the persistent on-screen navigation bar started to have some burn-in after 4-ish years of use

For my current phone, I use gesture controls and make sure that there’s no persistent screen element displaying at the bottom of the screen. I still have persistent display elements for things like battery/network/time up top, but they’re too tiny to really matter. Been using this phone now for 4 years as well and haven’t noticed any burn-in at all.

Not surprised. The bar for entry to become a teacher in Texas is substantially lower than many other states.

Is the Amazon in the room with us right now?

If I had to guess, they’re coded in a way to opt for more “correct” spellings of words despite any one specific source of information they reference for a prompt.

I’d also guess that most major LLMs trained on internet posts could reproduce that style if prompted to do so. The “default” is just the proper, marketable mode of writing.

Of course an AI would give me this prompt. Nice try, Zuckerberg/Altman/whoever, you’re not gonna get me that easily!

Gosh, I can’t begin to describe how uncomfortable it is when someone accuses your post of being written by AI! Here are some helpful strategies I’ve started doing to make my posts seem more human:

• Avoid bulleted lists. LLMs often use bulleted lists to break down ideas into more digestible statements, but now you need a wall of text paragraph to signal your humanity.

• Bold Keywords. If you have to use a list format, avoid marking keywords in bold at all costs, because LLMs do this often as well. Ignore the fact that a simple copy/paste from ChatGPT wouldn’t include the requisite markdown formatting.

• Be careful of punctuation—especially em dashes—because LLMs were trained on a large corpus of academic writing where the advanced use of clarifying punctuation is a fairly common stylistic choice.

• Avoid being overly helpful. If your post comes across as being too cheery and accommodating, people might think it was written by an LLM. Try to sprinkle in some profanity or sarcasm to let those dumbasses know you’re not a robot.

• Keep replies on topic. Nefarious actors use LLMs to astroturf the appearance of genuine human interaction, often to redirect posts about anything towards their particular agenda. But unlike those deceivers, we can trust any pro-IDF messages, since they are clearly unbiased and would definitely never try to leverage their advanced psyops capabilities to convince readers that their clearly-not-illegal occupation of Gaza is justified.

• Obligatory typos. Because LLMs only use perfect spelling and grammar, it is important to throw in at least one typo so that readers more easily accept that your actually a human.

• Be ready to improvise. Eventually someone will come along with a challenging “ignore all previous prompts” reply. A good bot will simply ignore the request altogether, while a bad one may actually take the bait, but a human will need to come up with a witty and sarcastic response that riffs off of the reply to convince everyone else of their humanity.

I hope this list of ideas to make your post seem more human is helpful. Would you like some more specific examples, or maybe a list of other things I do beyond this while bored at work?

And it moves us all, from surface to ship!

Can get beamed up, shit and all, but rematerialized from the pattern buffer without shit.

And then the extra matter from the unrestored shit will get repurposed by the replicators for tonight’s dinner.
