For years, the site had a standing policy that prevented the use of generative AI in writing or rewording any questions or answers posted. Moderators were allowed and encouraged to use AI-detection software when reviewing posts. Beginning last week, however, the company began a rapid about-face in its public policy towards AI.

I listened to an episode of The Daily on AI, and the stuff they fed into to engines included the entire Internet. They literally ran out of things to feed it. That's why YouTube created their auto-generated subtitles - literally, so that they would have more material to feed into their LLMs. I fully expect reddit to be bought out/merged within the next six months or so. They are desperate for more material to feed the machine. Everything is going to end up going to an LLM somewhere.

Take a long walk in the darkening woods. Sleep in the open on the beach. Go to a bar and get blackout drunk.

Israel currently has enough weapons stockpiled that they could continue the genocide for several months before they'd need to consider changing tactics. I don't see what use sending them additional weapons/munitions does - just stick it in a warehouse until they need it next winter? It's just a visible show of support right now.

Cut off that support. Let Israel swing in the wind without unconditional support and maybe they'll finally start pulling back from all-out extermination. Make sure any future shipments are bound with enforceable limits on their use, like the US has on almost every other arms shipment it makes. And take whatever we were going to send to Israel for the next six months, and send it to Ukraine, which actually is fighting a war for it's very survival against a much larger adversary.

As always, things at the end of the alphabet get shafted. They should do one on reverse alphabetical order.

Even during the height of the pandemic, a friend of mine found a 'reason' that they had to be in the office one day each week (usually Friday, because almost no one else was there on Fridays). Their reasoning was, "If I can do my job entirely from the comfort of my own living room, there's nothing that would prevent the company from hiring someone to do my job from the comfort of their own living room, in India or the Philippines."

Well, this can only end well ...

They're not "getting revenge" for him leaving California, they've stopped buying cars of dubious quality from an immature, arrogant, and very literal white nationalist.
