This is what I’ve been calling it. Not as a pejorative term, just descriptive. It has no concept of truth or not-truth, it just tells good-sounding stories. It’s just bullshitting. It’s a bullshit engine.

Phone pictures commonly flip left and right. It’s actually his left fist.

…and the words are all backwards to express a left-handed reading preference!

…now I want to hear more about what kind of gremlins a dragon fights…

Nah. The current crop of US pickups is, I’ll agree; but there’s plenty of older pickups that are much more reasonably scaled. Not to mention non-American models.

Or improving living conditions so people are comfortable having kids

You’d maybe be able to cover the hospital bill from having the kid with that sum.

If there’s no complications.

Eyelashes!

This was Amos’s preferred (planetside) ride for a while in The Expanse!

Get it home and you’ve got the start of a pretty good generator!

Sure, and such regulations should be reformed. We should not just start turning stuff off and seeing who breaks!

There’s no businesses, large or small, set up to take advantage of the tariffs in most industries. And it’s difficult for new businesses to set up because there’s an air of uncertainty to everything right now, because Trump likes to roll things out major changes with as little warning as he can - which is not an environment conducive to investment of any kind. Further, the equipment that would be needed to start a new manufacturing business is, by and large, covered by tariffs!

As for accepting failure - we didn’t fail to keep those manufacturing jobs. We developed to the point nobody was willing to do those jobs for a cost effective price. That is not a failure.

Yeah, I’m all for proper attribution, but I think making it just a little smaller, or two lines so it doesn’t line up with the main message, could have made it more clear that it wasn’t part of the message.

I’m not even sure how much evidence there is past the galaxyspinning evidence

There was another article posted recently I can’t find now, that talked about the discrepancy between the age of the universe based on the Hubble constant, and what’s observed of the CMB, or something like that. Apparently that discrepancy can be resolved if the universe itself is rotating.

Really hoping someone can track it down and post up a link, I’m probably making hash of the actual article…

They’re arguing from a religious perspective that understands God as providing intentionality

Everyone is busily selecting a fork, and I’m trying to figure out if the apostrophe was an intentional troll …

Why do they even want to encourage cow milk consumption?

That is a fascinating take on the general reaction to LLMs. Thanks for posting this!

It sounds like you can connect with your phone, which reduces the energy footprint quite a bit.

To be fair, we also keep getting closer to being absolutely fucked. Not necessarily for that reason, though.

The rest of the world has been trying to move away from fossil fuels for decades. Why these guys didn’t figure out they should diversify beyond oil I do not understand.
