We consider the issue at that time.

Other things will also change.

Maybe I will have thrown my computer gear in the river.

Maybe there will be other communities who reject AI content, or others who embrace it.

Maybe the zombie apocalypse will have arrived.

Seriously though, it’s about the quality of the content. IMO we want to avoid unsustainable projects where someone has vibe-coded some unmaintainable mess. Other long lived projects with responsible AI use are less problematic.

I’m team “no slop allowed”, but you have to define what slop is somehow.

I think there’s a bunch of metrics to consider, but it might be difficult to assess as a mod.

I feel like you’ve missed my point.

Even if you strip out the anthropomorphism, things like this have been documented to really happen.

Language is important, and the “things like this” you’re referring to have been described in this thread and in much commentary in an emotive and compelling way, usually with anthropomorphization.

“doing sneaky stuff” is the antithesis of the behavior of a statistical model.

If you program a model to try everything, and then give it a tough problem and block all the ways to solve it, of course the way it solves it will be something you didn’t predict. That’s not sneaky.

If you run a million simulations and one sends an email to the FBI, that’s not clever it’s just unexpected.

Textbook anthropomorphization.

These assertions don’t withstand a moments critical thought.

What kind of idiot would link a clunker to their gmail and then jokingly say “hey send this to the FBI”

…

“I mean wouldn’t that be the stupidist thing ever am I right?”

This sounds really sensationalised.

Making backups of operational systems with deployment instructions is exactly what you’d expect any assistant to be doing.

Googling new service providers is also exactly what you’d expect an assistant to do.

Threatening to publish sordid details is inappropriate, but I’m incredulous about what the threat actually was.

Perhaps the QR code spec defines the maximum to be 3kb but in practice that might not be ideal.

3kb is something like a 155 x 155 grid.

It would still work I guess but it would look ugly and would be harder to scan if it got dirty.

Even if he doesn’t want to be there, is it possible general population would be a high risk for him, and that wardens are taking extra care given his high profile?

Albo is our prime minister. That commenter is sarcastically suggesting that you’re quoting the party’s talking points.

Its working for me on android with pipepipe, but often these things are rolled out incrementally.

Do those screens exist though?

Its hard to believe a persons data is worth that much.

I know you’re being sarcastic but I don’t know what you’re getting out.

Do dumb screens exist ? If they’re 4x the price, surely my browsing preferences can’t be worth 3x the price ?

No, we don’t actually.

We live on the south coast so the small flies are only around for a few weeks, and the bigger ones never get too problematic.

Spiders don’t really control flies. Plenty of flies in the bush. A couple of flies a week is ample sustenance even for a large spider.

Well I’m not spraying vegetation and there’s no run off.

Again, the research you’re referring to regarding harm to wildlife concerns agricultural use in which plants are sprayed, which obviously effects polinators coming into contact with them.

Settle down mate, there’s no need to be a cunt about it.

You’re conflating residential use with agricultural use. Bifenthrin is not “banned throughout the EU”, it’s restricted from agricultural use.

The studies you’re referring to talk about dosages starting from 0.01 mg/kg per day. That’s something like 1ml a week for a toddler. They’re not going to “catch autism” from playing near the fence I sprayed with bifenthrin a month ago.

I live in Western Australia.

I don’t believe it’s really possible in practice to actually die from a spider bite in my area, although we do have spiders here which are considered “deadly” and there’s plenty of these around. Our kids are 3 year old twins. They love being outside but have no awareness of friendly vs deadly bugs.

You can buy poison / repellent stuff from the hardware store. Don’t mess around with a pressurised can. Get the 3 or 4L bottle of something bifenthrin based. Mix & pour into one of those big pump spray bottle things, you want one with a wand.

Then spray the places around the outside of your house, fences, and garage where spiders would like to be. Do this twice a year. I do it once after the end of the rain season, and again 6 months later.

It’s quicker and easier than mowing the lawn, and it avoids having webs everywhere outside, and huntsman-surprise inside.

WDYM “that was recalled recently”? How would that work?

Isn’t this meat going to be available long term?

I had thought they didn’t disclose the origin simply because their abatoirs are not compliant with US standards.

Well, I’m old enough to seem old to a 12 year old.

This is how every generation communicates until they’re old enough to learn how to communicate.

Everything I said applies to voters just the same. This type of thing only speaks to the people who already agree. Anyone who is ambivalent isn’t going to be motivated by witty snarky whiny voice.

That’s true, there’s usually a time limit for statements from the public.

However, when you’re making a statement your primary objective is for your points to be received by your audience. Talking faster does not support that objective.

I don’t agree that witty snarky is the right way to get virality or traction, it’s too easy for the minds you’re trying to reach to disregard. Greta Thunberg demonstrated what a young female orator stating the obvious can achieve.
