  Please reconsider your use of the “R” word. It is not harmless. People try to say “it just means stupid” but we all know what people that word refers to. They also know this word, and know it’s used in reference to them. They don’t deserve it. My wife, for example, used to teach Shakespeare in theatrical classes in the adult day school she worked at. Her student absolutely were capable of learning that and understanding it fully. Yeah, language evolves over time. But just as I hope you would...

  I’m on Windows and got a browser running under WSL and so far, that seems to have worked, along with me using the account extremely minimally. lol

  I get 2-3 contacts per day on Telegram. I used to interact with them to find out what the scam was. Makes sense that it would be multi-layer like that (per the article). I found that the most common were reviews or adding things to amazon shopping carts to fuel demand, along with some bitcoin / investment (especially silver/gold) stuff. I eventually realized it was boring. They quickly use AI to reply to you, so no matter what you write you get this encouraging nonsense back that adds nothin...

  I’m still salty about that. I posted a really nice ceramic bowl to /r/superbowl as an example of a “superb bowl” and it got removed and I was banned. They told me I didn’t get the joke. I got the fucking joke. I was making another level of the joke. I mostly rolled my eyes and moved on. but yeah… I’m still a little salty.

  Too late for me, I’ve been Daychilde since 1996, didn’t keep it separate from my real name, and I’m on wikipedia, so it’s trivial to find me. lol. The good is that I can report that it’s pretty safe to have an open identity. So far. heh

  I’m also suspicious that the ransonware attack had anything to do with AI, but I didn’t want to say so because going against the common consensus in threads like this gets me downvoted, so I’d rather not say it if people aren’t going to consider it (and then agree or disagree). heh Then again, as a user of emdashes^[Thanks to wincompose software since I’m a Windows dude, but on Linux I’d use the compose key] — I suppose I’m under suspucion of being an LLM as well. ;-) Would you like me to co...

  Well. It would be the zeroth law, first of all, but the three laws would most definitely not allow humans to die. The whole point of I, Robot was cases where the three laws were circumvented in various ways.
