I used an AI to analyze a piece of writing I did years ago, long before AI was a thing. It determined that there was some huge margin of my work was likely written by AI, and when I asked why, it stated by use of sentence structure, words spelt using British spellings, oxford commas, and emdashes indicated I was AI — which I am not.
Hillary Clinton is a classic example of you can say the right things, but if you’re a smug asshole about it, people won’t like you. She never got that, and apparently still doesn’t.
To be clear, Israel is committing genocide, but she’s right about the fact that TikTok is full of fake bullshit. Both are true.
But she is so fucking smug and self righteous, that even when she says something I agree with, I just want to tell her to fuck off.
So many things wrong with this.
I am not a programmer by trade, and even though I learned programming in school, it’s not a thing I want to spend a lot of time doing, so I do use AI when I need to generate code.
But I have a few HARD rules.
I execute all code and commands. Nothing gets to run on my system without me.
Anything which can be even remotely destructive, must be flagged and not even shown to me, until I agree to the risk.
All information and commands must be verifiable by sourcing documentary links, or providing context links that I can peruse. If documentary evidence is not available, it must provide a rationale why I should execute what it generates.
Every command must be accompanied by a description of what the command will do, what each flag means, and what the expected outcome is.
I am the final authority on all matters. It is allowed to make suggestions, but never changes without my approval.
Without these constraints, I won’t trust it. Even then, I read all of the code it generates and verify it myself, so in the end, if it blows something up, I bear sole responsibility.
It doesn’t even matter. That chud would be upset if the same happened in reverse, if someone hid meat is their food without telling them.
The problem here is that they have an agenda, and all actions are OK if it means their agenda is met. It’s about, “the ends justify the means”.
People who feel “I’m OK with deceiving someone who disagrees with me” are the worst kind of people. They treat their point of view as the one truth and any action can be justified if it meets the needs of the one truth.
Are you really that obtuse?
The problem isn’t the food, it’s the lie. Maybe you don’t have a problem with being lied, but the rest of us do.
Because i don’t like being deceived.
Obviously, the inclusion of Marxism is a decent test, but I have taken samples of things I have written years ago and submitted them to see what it would say about my writing.
It says a high probability of my writing was done by AI, because I do use emdashes, oxford commas, and other such punctuation.
We can’t trust anything checking to see if something was written by AI, any more than we can trust something written by AI.
What do you mean?
What’s going on with Santa?
I wanted something with cutting edge. I like hardware upgrades. I also wanted something I could game on without a lot of fuss, because I was new to Linux. And not that it matters, because you can switch easily, I wanted KDE.
I ended up with Garuda. I’m pretty happy with it.
I’m glad I did choose something which keeps up with the kernel, because I was having power management issues and monitor issues on every other distro I tried before this one, and none of them affected me here. I’m pretty sure the combo or a newer kernel and Plasma 6.something is what did it.
My wife asked me last summer to switch her, because she didn’t like the news she was hearing about “recall” and being forced to have AI.
She is far from techie, but is over a year on Mint with no issues.
She actually switched before me, because I was distro hopping trying to find the right one for me, so I dual booted for a while. But I am 9 months on a single distro and happy to be rid of Windows.
Thing the article conveniently leaves out, at least one of the “retired air force officers” works at (or did, seems to be some obfuscation) Lockheed Martin.
Of course they are against switching, they will lose their cushy lobbyist jobs.
We always have been.
There is a reason no one hates Canada.
If it was a party, we were just quietly cool, while our neighbour got drunk, screamed at the top of their lungs, pissed in the fish tank and randomly punched people.
Articles like this are pissing me off. They keep glossing over the reasons.
One line on “Meanwhile, he has angered Canadians with his many public comments about making their country the “51st state”.”
We had Tarriffs the last time that chunderhead was president, and it didn’t stop us
How about
We have supported the US time and time again, even when we probably shouldn’t have. We got repaid for our loyalty by betrayal.
Fuck that country.
It’s not too late!
I can’t believe no one has said The Thing yet.
The creature effects are so good, it holds up today.
Once you see the pterodactyls, you can never unsee them.
I have a buddy who won’t switch his streaming box because he thinks his in-laws will be too confused by a different button layout on the remote.
I front-end mpv with smplayer.
It’s enough for my purposes.
They themselves are contemptuous people and like someone who shares their contemptuous views.
I got a 24 hour ban for saying Danielle Smith should stand on her head so the blood will rush to get brain and she could have a coherent thought. “Promoting Violence”
I got a 72 hour ban for responding to someone who said Vance will never be US President. I said he would when Trump had the inevitable coronary from eating too many cheeseburgers. “Promoting violence”
Perma-ban for responding to a story about Kristi Noem telling Canada how to run border security with saying she should keep her cunt ass on her side of the border. “Inciting violence”.
Reddit WANTS to be a right wing echo chamber and looks for excuses to ban people who don’t agree with that world view.
