I mean, if you're talking specifically in context about people with vaginas instead of women then using the gendered term does exclude both women without vaginas and men with them who are probably a relevant group in that context. But seriously how often does that come up for you? How often is the most important part of the woman you're referring to her anatomy?

And while "females" is probably just as accurate in most contexts it's also been poisoned with incel vibes at this point and it's gonna be some time before it can be salvaged for general use outside of specific biological contexts without sounding like you're about to unload a whole lot of baggage into the thread instead of getting therapy.

Past a certain point it's easier for people to cut the genAI out of the picture and just actually draw the shit they're being asked for rather than badger the machine into creating something satisfactory, at which point irony will be well and truly dead.

Oh hey we got all the way to Pacific time without anyone wishing a generic Merry Christmas. May your family's Wi-Fi work for everyone with minimal support required.

They have enough money to make it complex, no matter how simple the underlying issue.

Honestly it's either that or some rosewattasttone level translation errors which sounds like a pretty good risk to take for me.

So the guys who have been burning almost as much VC money as they have water and electricity in the name of building AGI have announced that they're totally gonna do it this time? Just a few more training runs man I swear this time we're totally gonna turn everyone into paperclips just let me have a few more runs.

Not gonna lie, "enforcing the line between ketchup and tomato sauce" isn't the sort of thing I'd expect the government to be into, but I guess I'm not mad about it?

Gotta be cheaper than buying new planes which would also have new engines. Generally there needs to be a pretty substantial increase in capability before it's worth retiring an existing platform, especially in a logistics role where you don't get as much benefit from the bleeding edge because nobody's supposed to be shooting at you in the first place.

I think the missing piece here is that B-52 isn't just a pretty good cargo hauler, it's a pretty good cargo hauler that we don't need to buy a whole new airframe to get. Think of it less as "we're commissioning these B-52s" and more as "hey look we found a way to use all these B-52s we already had" only this just keeps working forever.

It's not an exhaustive search technique, but it may be an effective heuristic if anyone is planning The Revolution(tm).

AI could be a viable test for bullshit jobs as described by Graeber. If the disinfotmatron can effectively do your job then doing it well clearly doesn't matter to anyone.

I mean, doesn't somebody still need to validate that those keys only get to people over 18? Either you have a decentralized authority that's more easily corrupted or subverted or else you have the same privacy concerns at certificate issuance rather than at time of site access.
