Corporate decided it was more profitable.

Real Kel-Tec fans only buy gen 3 or higher. XD They’ve usually got all the bugs worked out by then, while the remaining inherent flaws are part of their charm.

The legality is questionable, but just listening is harmless.

You can get a cheap SDR for a few bucks and an antenna for about the same. The rest is software and ingenuity.

Make a donation in his name to a trans youth charity.

As a (mostly) masc-presenting transfem enby, I’m anxious to reach that point for myself. I feel like I’m in a weird sort of limbo, 'cuz even after two years of hormone therapy I rarely draw any second glances when hiking topless on public trails.

Then go back to Reddit.

Point to a decentralized country.

Linux.

If you could get that crypto nonsense out of my Weird Guy tier and down with the Outcasts, then this would be more accurate. =3

The only adults I know with money have no energy and vice versa.

Solidarity from another former white guy and campfire enthusiast.

Sounds like an LLM that could have been a PDF.

Me reading this with a hippie beard.

LLMs are just massively-multidimensional maps of human language use. It is academically interesting to have developed both the map and a method for plotting a course through language-space using a prompt as an initial vector, but human intellience is not in language. Rather, language is part of human intelligence, and mapping it to ever more computationally-expensive distances is never going to chart a path to the digital mind that all the tech billionaires are so desperate to enslave.

It’s still a matter of timescale, as in “how far future are we talking?”. On a stellar scale, they’d need to get here in the next billion years or so before the expansion of the sun boils off everything above the lithosphere. On a geological scale, it’s only a couple hundred million years 'til everything that isn’t already buried or washed into the sea is getting squashed into a new pangea. On a climatological scale, corrosion and decay/overgrowth will render almost all artifacts unrecognizable within a couple of thousand years, though it’d be a few tens of thousands before our impact on the atmosphere is nulled. On a human timescale, the inverse-square law means that our radio signals are only detectable without astronomically-sized antennas within a shell of a few dozen light years or so.

Not a 60% success rate, but a 60% rate of throwing good money after bad.

It also makes those large corporate platforms unappealing, which is a very good thing for those of us who have always said that federation is a half-step towards proper decentralization.

“In the USA” and “by large portions of the capitalist class” are the answers to your question, I think the previous commenter was just a bit too incredulous because this topic came up in the news lately and they’d expected it to be common knowledge even outside the U.S. since much of the “AI Industry” is involved with U.S. tech companies.

Those sesame ginger salads you get at fancy japanese steakhouses.
