People are acting like it’s not a problem, but if we have just one more downgrade of that magnitude, we’ll be in big trouble

No wonder Jesus hasn’t come back. We never miss a chance to remind him of what happened last time

Ideally, I think instances ought to be something the casual user can be unaware of. Like the default experience should be instance-independent and the choice of instance should be some trivial thing that you can change on a whim carrying your entire user identity and chat history with you. I don’t really get any functional sense of community from my instance anyway

Step 2 is dead right. Before you can proceed, we’re going to need you to make an apparently important and irreversible decision that you didn’t even want to make, based on incomplete information.

The Force Awakens was crap but it tended to get the benefit of the doubt because there were all these mysterious threads that might be going somewhere interesting. But the problem is, JJ Abrams had no clue about where he was going with any of it. That’s unforgivable. You need some idea of the story you want to tell. Or just hire a fucking writer ffs. Plenty of people know how to tell a story, JJ Abrams just isn’t one of them. I don’t want to let Rian Johnson off the hook but it was already on a bad trajectory before he crashed it into the ground.

Play it safe. You never know how long you’ll have the chance, so best to switch if off immediately. It’s the only way to be sure.

This timeline is fucked, may as well use our resources to create better ones

No, you’re thinking of the other Mr. Ato, inventer of the potato

I should call her

If anyone knows how it should be pronounced it would be Mr. Ato himself

But generally once someone starts dressing in lycra, they stop being a reasonable person. I will always cycle in street clothes.

Do you wear a suit to the gym as well?

Did I stutter?

Pedolf Shitler seems to be a popular choice too. Encapsulates a lot of information. You have to bear in mind that all international references to Trump would use that as the official title. Can we do better?

I think it’s time the rest of the world got together and officially renamed Trump

Are you kidding? Compare an LLM’s ability to generate a paragraph of bullshit with Trump’s ability to do the same. At least the LLM version is going to be coherent

I agree totally about the testing. Old people often drive until an accident or near miss demonstrates their inability to continue. When you live in a world where driving is a necessity, of course people will push themselves to do it until they reach a point of failure.

“This was irresponsible behavior from me, and a betrayal of trust. I have adopted strict safety protocols to ensure that this cannot happen again”

Seems like people back then put a lot of effort into making their lives miserable, not like today where it just happens automatically.

I think you’re missing the point here. The individual is not the issue. The fact that any 82 year old is hurtling around in 2 tons of metal oblivious to the world outside is the issue (or at least part of it). Do you think this woman is some kind of exceptional case?
