Yeah it's a bunch of shit. I'm not an expert obviously, just talking out of my ass, but:

  1. Running inference for all the devices in the building to "our dev server" would not have maintained a usable level of response time for any of them, unless he meant to say "the dev cluster" or something and his home wifi glitched right at that moment and made it sound different
  2. LLMs don't degrade by giving wrong answers, they degrade by stopping producing tokens
  3. Meta already has shown itself to be okay with lying
  4. GUYS JUST USE FUCKING CANNED ANSWERS WITH THE RIGHT SOUNDING VOICE, THIS ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE, THAT'S HOW YOU DO DEMOS WHEN YOUR SHIT'S NOT DONE YET

Yes which is why it's so important to react firmly to someone who's deliberately playing brinksmanship with a nuclear-armed defensive alliance, so as to correctly pass the can-I-push-the-boundaries test Putin is giving here. This is like lesson #1 about dealing with bullies.

I think they should have shot down the fighters and then sent footage of the falling wreckage to Putin overlaid with the "Curb Your Enthusiam" music and fade out with "Stay in your own airspace pls and thank you."

"It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself." -Thomas Jefferson

Also applies to some Lemmy moderation decisions

Feel free to answer the unfalsifiable counterfactual where I asked when Bernie Sanders had voted for aid to Israel, and quite a few times the person who had said that he had, changed the subject or started yelling or pretended not to understand or abruptly fell silent. I really look forward to you helping educate me on this, since it's all just my mistaken ness and you guys are the ones with the super-strong grasp on the facts.

  • The two genders for video game protagonists: Male and political
  • The two races for movie heroes: White and political
  • The two stances for MPs: Pro-Israel and "not neutral" NEW!

Yeah. In retrospect, it always seems pretty stupid that we thought we could just resolve things with diplomacy and the rabid dog hanging around the building will probably just calm down and stay in the back section and we just won't go there.

I feel like escalating to war because that's clearly what's up, and whatever happens happens, oh well, is one of the few areas where Churchill had it 100% right in the lead up to the global war.

The balls will be fastly sucked into the machine

Yeah my bad I should have sent some YouTube videos or linked to the text of some bills or something lol. I could have asked questions of the people I was talking to about what the factual details of what they were talking about were, I could have done a lot of things. I am sure they never would have just evaporated or refused to answer the factual questions I was asking, I am sure we could have come to an understanding since everyone involved in this conversation is super open to factual conversation

I feel bad now for just insisting super hard that Bernie's a GOOD guy, that was a bullshit approach

I'm done now, there is no point to this, it has been enjoyable chatting with you though. Have a wonderful day

Edit: This is what I'm talking about, I already gave the Bernie-betrayed-the-Palestinians gang an abundance of a chance to prove their case and they just wandered in circles yelling about how they were right.

I feel like you guys have Donald Trump's unerring instinct for just having a wrong take about everything by habit, just from the opposite direction.

Like if Zombie Che Guevara got elected to US congress, you'd all of a sudden be freaking out about how PROBLEMATIC he is on trans issues and how he BETRAYED Fidel by not condemning the CIA on points 6-10 when he condemned the CIA on points 1-5.

Never change guys

Never change

One of my first experience of the US was Detroit, Gary (the where Michael Jackson is from) and Flint.

Out of all the possible places for a visitor from abroad to come to in America, you landed in Gary, Indiana?

That is fucking fascinating. Are you open to tell me a little more about your time in Gary?

On Tuesday, billionaires met with disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) to discuss how to beat Zohran Mamdani, the democratic socialist who handily defeated Cuomo in New York City’s democratic mayoral primary in June. According to The New York Times, the group met to “plot” Mamdani’s defeat. “The oligarchs are panicking,” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) wrote on X…

 

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) says filming and posting videos of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents constitutes “violence,” and has threatened to potentially charge people who take videos and photos of agents conducting immigration raids in their communities, despite First Amendment protections. DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin told the…
