I'm sure this person really appreciates this warning about a person that they know and you don't

That's 70 miles a day, for anyone who doesn't want to do the math. I don't know where Hinton lives, but that's almost two laps around all of the highways surrounding the city I live in. That's 2 hours of driving on surface roads, not including stop lights and stop signs.

I wonder how much money Tesla has saved by breaking the law this way?

Seriously the people in this subreddit cannot seem to comprehend that "less bad" is in fact better than "more bad"

It's better when Democrats are in control because my brown countrymen aren't being detained and deported without due process by Democrat politicians

From Wikipedia:

Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy. Opposed to Marxism, democracy, anarchism, pluralism, free markets, egalitarianism, communism, liberalism, and socialism, fascism is at the far right of the traditional left–right spectrum.

Democrats are right-wing, but not far-right. Democrats are not authoritarian or ultranationalist, Democrats are not characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, or belief in a natural social hierarchy. Democrats are not opposed to democracy, egalitarianism, or liberalism.

Not sure what you said but 100% agreed

As well it should be. Even if we get our act together and elect another sane president, we've demonstrated that we're happy to burn every single bridge we've spent so long building, and that it isn't some one-off fuckup either

Can, and opt not to. Big difference. I'm sure I could ask chat GPT to write a better comment than this, but I value the human interaction involved with it, and the ability to perform these tasks on my own

Same with many aspects of modern technology. Like, I'm sure it's very convenient having your phone control your washing machine and your thermostat and your lightbulbs, but when somebody else's computer turns off, I'd like to keep control over my things

This is a salient point that's well worth discussing. We should not be training large language models on any supposedly factual information that people put out. It's super easy to call out a bad research study and have it retracted. But you can't just explain to an AI that that study was wrong, you have to completely retrain it every time. Exacerbating this issue is the way that people tend to view large language models as somehow objective describers of reality, because they're synthetic and emotionless. In truth, an AI holds exactly the same biases as the people who put together the data it was trained on.
