Mono, maybe, but the last 24hrs is basically irrelavent for that one. Hell, the most recent 24hrs is almost irrelavent for any of them; Contagion takes time to set-up shop.

Serving 20 years ago is nothing like “defending a pedophile”, but you’re otherwise correct that I got mine and have a very mercenary outlook on military service. Way to miss my real point though: I’m trained, not just cos-playing. More than that, I was trained as Military Police, and have worked for years in the security field.

That said, Kyle Rittenhouse himself showed better de-escalation skills than you Blue-MAGAs here. He ran from a crowd that was chasing him down for putting-out their (literal)gas-station-parking-lot-dumpster-fire, until he could run no more and found a pistol in his face.

Right, *I’m the one going places looking to start shit that gets innocent people or the just-ignorant killed.

Next to ANY of you geniuses that keep coming after me here, that’s a garbage outlook. The crowd doesn’t make you safe; The crowd isn’t even on your side the moment your survival becomes even mildly inconvenient to their desire act without personal accoutability. Any of you are safer next to me, or Kyle, than with eachother, and that’s a fact. Hell, most of you centrists are so bad at this as to be safer with cops than eachother, and I am very much in the ACAB-stance when I say that.

Oh shit, I missed your PS on first read. You genuinely think I won’t leave my gun locked-up to go have lunch with my kids, or would let a cordon of cops that haven’t made-entry in half-an-hour stop me in an active shooter situation? I would make it safer for them to go in than stay in front of me by that point, assuming they were competent enough to keep me from just sneaking past them.

Must be how I made it back from Iraq without killing anyone. I guess I could always see the Lemmy light, and learn to gather 5 upvotes for making up shit about people I’ve never met.

Unlike many here, I stay off-campus because I stay armed, not because I’m otherwise legally prohibited. Talk to me when you’ve actually punched a Nazi, not just gathered in a large group far-away from the seats of power to hope-and-pray mean words at them.

Where’s the mirror, or a fourth person with real integrity? Seriously, why not all three? I see not-one Left-of-Center, non-child-rapist-enabler portrayed here…

Oh wait, a shit-lib made this, didn’t they.

Amazing how this topic/narrative surges whenever the chances of leftists and minorities arming themselves and/or actually doing something peak.

So what happened this time? Recent Performative Resistance/“No-Kings Protest” turn-out lower than expected? Higher? Someone show up armed and people talked to them instead of assuming they were a counter-protestor? Police and other local morons particularly brutal in a way the press couldn’t gloss?

Not sure I recall a story about a kingdom wanting more educated adventurers…

That would be why this isn’t portraying adventurers …

“Adventurer” is a modern invention, sure, but there are also reasons adventurers would be an exception to the norms of their own worlds. Literacy would be one of many such reasons for many of them, but there are plenty of portrayals of what happens when only one member of a party can read or write as well.

They are selling their AI to anyone they can. Their static AI - you can’t actually re-train them in any meaningful fashion. The words “perscribed use” were meant to imply a lot from their spot in the middle of my comment, but they were always there.

Refusing AI is what the Nazi Billionaires want the principled to do. Refuse the perscribed-use of it sure, but the “AI Infringes Copyright” stuff? Besides being settled law but for recent court cases, it’s a distraction.

Not here, not now. That’s another thread.

Demonstrates their point by raging-out unintelligibly. Never mentions gender. Commenters say its about hating women. Sure.

Emotional Intelligence at a singular level amounts to taking the appropriate time to compose oneself, but at the same time, just because one shows emotion doesn’t mean they don’t have a point.

I agree OP was likely rejected by someone, but I’ve seen gay men and lesbians use these phrases to try to manipulate their SO or counteract their SO’s bullshit, more often the “calm” one overtly attempting manipulation and gaslighting. People have this delusion/conceit, that so long as they haven’t been forced to say what they really think or feel, they are in-control, when in reality they are no more in-control of themselves than anyone-else.

Bringing gender or “misogyny” into it is laughably besides-the-point to me. I saw a meme page try to say the 90%-of-prisoners-are-men statistic means its men who are overly-emotional, like the people who say women are too emotional have a point re:emotions, and only got the “women” part wrong. My fellow bitches, the “calm” ones are not on your side.

Its always confounded me that, somewhere along the line, Simping:Spending time and money to let a stranger on the internet know you think she’s pretty and you likely see romance as transactional, got conflated with “Simping”: having the guts and sincerity to compliment a woman in-person, without reservation or expectation of reward.

Like, what? How did that become a thing?

I’m saying how the tech is handled, and by whom, is extremely relavent.

I don’t care about or for wide-spread adoption any more than you do, but having only those who self-select out of enthusiasm or are coerced-into it to keep their jobs at the riegns of the mechanical-turk(or Deep Thought, whatever the case remains or becomes) doesn’t seem like the smart play to me.

You honestly trust these idiots to keep themselves or smarter people between the AI crap and themselves? Au Contraire.

Our only hope without intervention from the smarter-and-less-inclined lies in three possibilities
The AI gets smart enough to decide we aren’t worth killing.
The dumb AI’s you expect to continue indeffinitely prove incapable of killing us all when handed the means and the order, intentionally or otherwise, by their handlers. Or lastly, luck, shear damn luck, that it doesn’t mistake a coffee-request for “launch the nukes”, or follow the request of a random credentialled/authorized moron/psychopath, or “decide on its own”™ to do so.

Personally, I trust a smart or just too-lazy-to-risk-its-own-data-centers AI over the people you seem to believe are its even-slightly-qualified handlers rather than the overt enablers of its worst potential.

It doesn’t have to actually-develop consciousness to get both the means and the garbled-non-sense that leads to using them to end-up killing-us-all, friend. Try to keep up.

I’m well-aware of all that, but if you think that’s not going to change, you’re a bigger fool than the AI-evangelists. Even if it doesn’t change, the distinction won’t matter all-too-soon.

By all means, leave the overblown toy to the delusional right-up-until AI, whether truly intelligent or better-at-faking-it than today, has killed us all.

I would treat it like a baby. From what I gather, that wouldn’t end-well for me, but the scarier part is that last bit is going to change, at least in-so-far as whether it is capable of intending to manipulate me towards an early grave, and its being “educated” by fools who buy the hype in the mean-time.

Smarter, saner people than I or the hype-machine, I hope you’re not letting the chance to even attempt to handle this correctly pass you by. For all our sakes.
