Surely the tariffs won't impact digital game prices?

Is Paul Krugman ever correct about predictions? The only two I know from him are his famous prediction about the internet, that "by 2005, it would become clear that the Internet's effect on the economy is no greater than the fax machine's" and his child-like theory that two countries with McDonald's wouldn't go to war with one another.

Is there any value in listening to a man who is consistently wrong? Did he get something profoundly correct that I just never learned of?

and something tells me the side that spent decades demonizing firearm ownership probably can't win an arms race against their ideological opponents.

This seems bad in a sea of events that seem bad.

I have no deep admiration for judges, but the motivation for this seems deeply ideological, and I don't see a bright future where judges are arrested by the Gestapo based on ideological differences.

Having an algorithm determine risk seems less like a method for correctly identifying risk and more like a method for offloading responsibility for poor decisions into a faceless, nameless entity which cannot be held accountable.

> And I discovered the pseudo social network that I’d once found cringe is actually full of smart people—who crop up if I’m willing to spend a bit of extra time sharing my writing with them.

Without some heavy sourcing, I am incredibly hesitant to believe this.

Do you also have this negative attitude towards all other non-vegitarian animals, or is it just for humans since they have more capability to cause more ecological harm?

Are you genuinely curious, or do you already know this kind of complaint refers to offensive, racist, hateful speech (otherwise known as the type of speech that requires protection, since civil speech that agrees with the popular worldviews does not need protecting)?

> And there aren’t enough technical people on the planet to pay those bills.

This rings so true to me. The tech side seems hyperfocused in on these diminishing return results around benchmarks, but I just don't see a 4% improvement in X benchmark as any kind of market mover.

There seems to be a fairly large cohort among the HN crowd that does not understand the hold ChatGPT has on the cultural zeitgeist.

No normie in my life ever talks of using Gemini or Llama in their day to day life. Maybe some turbo twitter addict boomies talk about using grok, but that's about it.

Regular people are leveraging chatGPT to pick up the slack that google search enshittification left in their lives. It's a Skype to Zoom shift and lots of people here seem to not really appreciate it. They are too caught up on esoteric benchmark scores to recognize the tectonic plates moving beneath them.

I don't mind what they benchmark against as long as, when I use the model, it continues to give me better results than their competition.

Hey, keeping your sanity in corpo world can be a challenge. Sometimes you need a mini game like this just to help pass the time.

I think you may be underestimating it.

At this point in college, LLMs are everywhere. It's completely dominating history/english/mass comm fields with respect to writing papers.

Anecdotally all of my working non-tech friends use chatgpt daily.

It seems like most people are on the road to doing exactly this.

A hero and a true patriot.

Yeah can't wait until our Nation's Finest are having to use Grok Spectacles to identify enemy combatants.

Going back to horses sounds so nice.

The Espionage Act of 1917 is still on the books today and it limits speech. But sure bud, I bet it's going away any day now!

It's a good thing that natural rights are a real thing and not just something you enjoy ranting into your computer about.

There are already established legal limits on speech.

Again, try screaming racial slurs on daytime television. You will be met with a fine and/or imprisonment.

I am not a lawyer. I am not a member of congress. I did not write the law. I don't particularly like or agree with those laws. But they exist, and unless I'm mistaken it seems like you're unwilling to acknowledge their existence.

> I can say all the racial slurs I want on TV, and it would be quite illegal to put me in jail for it.

This is not true.

Under 18 U.S.C. Section 1464, “[w]hoever utters any obscene, indecent, or profane language by means of radio communication shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.” Under 18 U.S.C. Section 1468(a), “[w]hoever knowingly utters any obscene language or distributes any obscene matter by means of cable television or subscription services on television, shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than 2 years or by a fine in accordance with this title, or both.” Likewise, under 47 U.S.C. Section 559, “[w]hoever transmits over any cable system any matter which is obscene or otherwise unprotected by the Constitution of the United States shall be fined under Title 18 or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both.”

Of course it's open for discussion. Free speech is not limitless.

You can wax poetically all you want about endowment by the creator, but try saying racial slurs on daytime TV and see how long that lasts.

Advertisement is just another form of speech that can be limited.

This seems supremely irrelevant to the topic of the article. I doubt very much the Wayfair bed assemblyperson is being held back from fear. But hopefully they read your inspiring comment and can, I guess, stop being timid.

Maybe I'm the crazy one, but I personally consider any group that worships nazis to be an extremist group. If they were in the US and hadn't done any kind of "extremist act" I would feel the same way.

Everyone has their own opinion of "lots" I suppose, but the quickest info I could come by in a quick search was 8 de novo created in 2021.

>AI Chatbots have been outperforming human agents in every category imaginable.

Would love to see a source for this claim.

Then you would say "I and a group of dads". "I and other dads" directly states that you are part of a group (dads).

"I and many other former students"

My grasp of English isn't without flaws, but that seems to be a pretty direct lie unless he was also a former student at Lambda School.

"we can't ever look to make decision-makers accountable because I'm afraid accountability will be used as a political cudgel"

Personally, I see no issue with increased accountability on both of these fronts. If you sign up to be the person who gets to decide whether other humans are put in a concrete box for years at a time, you should be willing to face the highest levels of scrutiny for your decision making. And if you are wrong there should be harsh punishments for your failures.

It seems like they are just giving background on what they do for a living for added context before stating that they have encountered low IQ people with degrees in their field.

How you got that somehow they are comparing Linux to IQ is above me; perhaps I am just too low IQ to understand.

>As a parent, I feel people like you are the reason...

You must have missed the part of the post where they stated:

>I worked at $retailer for a time, and even their statements were to "DO NOT ENGAGE SHOPLIFTERS".

"People like [them]" are being told from their employers to not engage shoplifters.
