Please stop making smart TVs!!! They were never needed to start with! I just want to turn in my tv and have it start showing what I have hooked up to it.

Wired headphones are superior to Bluetooth in every way. I still lament the day major phone manufacturers got rid of the 3.5 Jack.

A thousand refrigerator psychers must be sacrificed so the frig emperor can live on in perpetual conflict with the gods of chaos: Frigidaire, whirlpool, Samsung and Slaanesh!

Ya. That black server fan in the frig is very common for the model of frig…also the little white resistance sensor on the coil tends to fall off of the tube sometimes causing it to defrost poorly. I like to swap them out when I’m doing the fan as a prophylactic.

The reason they use that fan is because it’s super quiet and voltage can be regulated to it for different spin speeds which I turn is supposed to save energy.

The issue with the fan in and of itself is that it’s inherently an aftermarket fan produced by an aftermarket manufacturer for GE. It’s just junk.

I just want to start off by saying that your opinion is valid and it’s not even necessarily wrong. So don’t listen to anybody trying to disparage you on this.

If we are to allow billionaires to exist, they should take considerably more responsibility for the power that they wield and they of course should be taxed fairly in accordance to their income.

Also, lobbying should just be downright illegal. Which it is borderline is anyway.

I’ve often said we don’t need billionaires. That when one reaches that milestone anything above $999,999,999 should be taken as taxes from that person.

When I say this people often become defensive saying that the government shouldn’t be able to dictate how much wealth one person can accumulate. (It also happens that many of these people are prolife but that’s neither here nor there.) Often times comparing this action to communism which of course it isn’t.

The issue of course is that many people don’t understand what a billion of anything is. The human brain can’t comprehend such massive numbers. But nevertheless, there are people that are approaching the trillion dollar mark a number even further removed from a billion by several magnitudes.

Should there be billionaires. Probably not… What do you think?

There’s no reason to assume that AI will be malevolent.

I also said it would be equivalent to other important events throughout human history.

For example, I believe the discovery of agriculture is one of the most detrimental things ever that happened to humanity. Doesn’t make it any less riveting.

If you do not understand or don’t want to understand the implications of a fully realized artificial intelligence then you are simply willfully ignorant or want to be intentionally contrary.

Either way when our ai overlords take over the earth your name won’t be in the protected scrolls. May God have mercy on your soul.

That’s funny, in my subdivision I had to put a sign up on my door that said “no candy” and I still got multiple knocks!

(I’m a Halloween Scrooge don’t judge me)

It’s funny you mention this, but the erotic roleplay aspect of llms is a thriving business generating millions of dollars every month now in subscription costs.

We’ve barely even scratching the surface of what these models can do and they’re increasing in usage at an exponential rate.
