Gentlemen, this is plutocracy manifest!

unload a glittering cargo of stars, entrepreneurs, supermodels, influencers and tycoons into the lagoon

If only that were literally true

Bear baiting is legal in Michigan, but the hole on a barrel lid typically must be large enough to avoid what happened to this bear.

What the almighty fuck, Michigan?

It pains me to argue this point, but are you sure there isn’t a legitimate use case just this once? The text says that this was aimed at making Wikipedia more accessible to less advanced readers, like (I assume) people whose first language is not English. Judging by the screenshot they’re also being fully transparent about it. I don’t know if this is actually a good idea but it seems the least objectionable use of generative AI I’ve seen so far.

It’s actually kind of worrisome that they have to guess it was his code based on the function/method name. Do these people not use version control? I guess not, they sure as hell don’t do code reviews if this guy managed to get this code into production

Yeah I see what you mean. There’s a decent argument to be made that something like reasoning appears as an emergent property in this kind of system, I’ll admit. Still, the fact that fundamentally the code works as a prediction engine rules out any sort of real cognition, even if it makes an impressive simulacrum. There’s just no ability to invent, no true novelty, which – to my mind at least – is the hallmark of actual reasoning.

Shush you, Venice is magnificent. Wouldn’t want to live there but it’s an extraordinary place absolutely worth experiencing. Ancient, labyrinthine, palaces and churches everywhere, it’s like stepping into the Renaissance.

Woof, thought I was having déjà vu for a minute. Nope, just republicans being republicans, yet again.

Quoth Wikipedia, “Even when at peak magnitude of 2.5, this recurrent nova is dimmer than about 120 stars in the night sky.”

The fact that “recurrent nova” is a thing caught me by surprise though, Reminded me of the on/off star from A Deepness in The Sky

At least in Doom they had sense enough to do it on Mars

she chose Detroit over us

Montreal here. Gotta admit, that stings.

Shortstop’s the best position they is.

The ordinance is enforceable through the private enforcement mechanism which has proven its success in both the Lubbock City Ordinance and the Texas Heartbeat Act. This is how the ordinance is enforced,

So: snitching.
