• Several Democrats side with Republicans on their plan to end the 2025 government shutdown after being cornered on SNAP and ACA funding
• List of Republican and Democrat politicians that accepted AIPAC money

There’s tons of instances of Democrats voting for tax cuts for the rich/against tax cuts for everyone else at the state and local levels, so I’m not sure what links you want there

So if you've looked at that record, you'd see where Democrats have recently voted *against* taxing the rich, *against* food assistance, and *against* keeping dark money out of politics, and you'd see the absurdity of a sweeping claim like "that's how they've always voted". Also you realize there are more Democratic politicians than the ones who serve in Congress, right?

What do you mean that's how they've always voted?

Those are progressive ideals, not neo-liberal ones, and neo-liberals are currently the ones controlling the Democratic party unfortunately. That's not to say that neo-liberals and conservatives/the MAGA party are the same, or that the Democratic party and the Republican party are the same, but it's important to recognize that neo-liberals explicitly *do not* want to tax the rich, remove money from politics, or give everyone food.

IDK, that sounds like a fun twist to me

You could maybe get a mechanical engineering degree, but CNC machining is pretty specialized, so a college curriculum might not be all that relevant. There are apprenticeship programs for that kind of thing though

I’d love to live in an apartment block like that. Different strokes for different folks, you know?

Dude is all over the place and I kinda love it. From his teardown of capitalism, his insight on how music streaming platforms take advantage of musicians, to making spacey dream music with an antique model train control board, to an in depth analysis in how cicadas make noise, and now becoming a privacy activist and amateur white hat hacker. It’s crazy

"I prefer to keep my work separate from my living space"

Hell yeah another clit stick user, there are dozens of us!

Probably loot boxes since it more directly targets children

I can be convinced by contrary evidence if provided. There is no evidence of reasoning in the example you linked. All that proved was that if you prime an LLM with sufficient context, it’s better at generating output, which is honestly just more support for calling them statistical auto-complete tools. Try asking it those same questions without feeding it your rules first, and I bet it doesn’t generate the right answers. Try asking it those questions 100 times after feeding it the rules, I bet it’ll generate the wrong answers a few times. If LLMs are truly capable of reasoning, it shouldn’t need your 16 very specific rules on “arithmetic with extra steps” to get your very carefully worded questions correct. Your questions shouldn’t need to be carefully worded. They shouldn’t get tripped up by trivial “trick questions” like the original one in the post, or any of the dozens of other questions like it that LLMs have proven incapable of answering on their own. The fact that all of those things do happen supports my claim that they do not reason, or think, or understand - they simply generate output based on their input and internal statistical calculations. LLMs are like the Wizard of Oz. From afar, they look like these powerful, all-knowing things. The speak confidently and convincingly, and are sometimes even correct! But once you get up close and peek behind the curtain, you realize that it’s just some complicated math, clever programming, and a bunch of pirated books back there.

Oh fuck did we go back in time? We got Nigerian-Prince-level scams on Lemmy now!

Without the crucifixion and resurrection, Jesus is just another guy, and Christmas would be called Winter Solstice or Yule Festival

It’s sad that the whole “meathead = dumb asshole” stereotype has taken hold, because in my experience, most of the meatheads I’ve encountered have been sweethearts

Is this a fresh new copypasta, or are you just a really long-winded, elaborate troll?

I’m a Browns fan, I’m well aware

Oh yeah think of all the “soccer? I barely knew 'er” jokes we could make

DADADUH

They’re not a replacement for a regular vacuum/broom, they’re a supplement. This is like complaining that the washing machine can’t completely remove red wine stains by itself. And there are robot vacuums at every price point, just like normal vacuums. I’m glad you can vacuum your whole house in 10 minutes, but the rest of us don’t live in a shoebox and have pets with fur. You making judgments on a person’s character based on the chores they want to make easier speaks volumes about the type of person you are, you soggy walnut.
