Yeah, I know they have to follow their script, so I just play along. And honestly, it’s not as if I’ve never made a stupid mistake before, like accidentally leaving something unplugged.

OK, who are you voting for, then?
Historically the Republican candidates have demonstrated enviable party discipline and fallen in line after the nominee has been chosen, but Trump and the rest of the MAGA crowd have shown themselves to be so duplicitous that they won’t even honor agreements made with other Republicans. The more mainstream candidates like Pence may just figure that this time around there’s nothing in it for them, that they won’t get anything from Trump in return for their endorsement, not even goodwill.
Trump tweeted that Pence “didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution.”
Trump is so unprincipled that he managed to get it exactly backwards. January 6 is the one time Pence actually stood up and did the right thing. I loathe the man, but I won’t deny him credit where it’s due. I can’t even begin to imagine the level of chaos if he had gone along with Trump and his followers and refused to certify the 2020 election results.

I’ve told my wife that she doesn’t have to spend time with me if I end up with dementia and I start behaving that way. Both of my parents were more or less all there well into their 90s, but you never know.
He’s the living embodiment of the seven deadly sins.

I brought mine with me when I got the latest booster, and the pharmacist said that she hadn’t seen one of those in a long time.
They don’t care about factuality, and in fact have no ability to “know” if they are correct. And they don’t “care”
I suspect that most people think (maybe not even consciously) that these models answer questions by retrieving data and then writing a response which incorporates that data, rather than just generating text that may or may not contain actual facts.
It really bears repeating over and over that all these so-called AI systems do is take a prompt and output text in response to it that reads as if a human wrote it.
Exactly. I learned that it is a waste of time to try to have a discussion with this kind of person way back in the 80s. They’re willfully ignorant.
Same. I find that even that many is a significant distraction.
Oddly enough, I didn’t see any of the posts you’re talking about. This is the first mention of Feinstein dying that I’ve seen, so thanks for the news, I guess.
Yeah, I have an extremely unusual name. From what I can tell there are at most three other people in the world with the same name as me, and none of them lives here in the US.
Leaving aside the fun of being hassled for having a weird name when I was a kid, as an adult I am very careful about what I put online, since there is no way to hide it. If it’s in English and connected with my name, it unquestionably concerns me.
What does that mean?
Why do you say that?
Yeah, I try to buy stuff from brick and mortar stores. I figure that even if it’s a big box store at least there are actual employees working there who live in my area.
But I can’t even find the kind of underwear I like at any physical store near me. Even online, Amazon seems to be the only place that stocks it.
The same goes for the style of jacket that I prefer. I’ve spent months looking everywhere, and the only place where I’ve found even an approximation of what I want is Amazon.
I’ve noticed that even in big box stores nowadays the selection is pretty limited. You’ll see a wall of racks full of the same item. I don’t know if it’s supply chain issues or if they’ve just decided that it’s not worth the trouble of trying to stock a variety of items that only appeal to a relatively small number of people.
I suppose the idea is that it’s possible that someone has written several books in the past, and wants to sell them on Amazon now.
