In my experience half of frontend development is bending over backwards to make everything look and work exactly like the boss/client wants even when you know what they want sucks for users, so I feel you.

Then you just use radio buttons under the hood and override the appearance with CSS.

The problem is letting the AI digest the information for you. It is impossible to engage in critical thinking when you’re not actually doing the thinking yourself.

How do you publicly let AI do your thinking for you without even a hint of shame or embarrassment?

I would plead for someone to show this man a microscope but I fear the conclusions he might draw.

Did the brain worm leave anything for the prions to replicate in or for the poor brain-eating amoeba?

I agree with you that the best thing to do to protect yourself is to remain silent and request to speak with your lawyer, but Hasan made a bet that his privilege would protect him and engaged with the CBP agent to get information he could report on later. He talks about it in his video about the incident.

While you scrutinize the finer points of morality relating to the detainment of sailors as part of an economic blockade, Israel is intentionally starving millions of children. Your priorities are so out of whack it’s absurd that you don’t recognize it. You don’t have to support the Houthis to acknowledge that their economic blockade of Israel is justified. If engaging in that level of nuance makes me a terrorist in your eyes, you’ve completely lost the plot.

Besides, the word terrorist has always been used by the US as a propaganda tool to paint specific militant groups that are enemies of US empire as barbaric and inhuman. If the basic definition of terrorism were applied fairly across the board then the IDF and US military would be considered the most prolific terrorists and the US and Israel the largest state sponsors of terror. The standard of violence is set by the oppressors.

You desperately need to escape the bubble that you’re in as a member of Ethan’s community. He’s become a useful idiot for Israeli propagandists and now even the MAGA fascists - as evidenced by the details of Ethan’s false accusations against Hasan being brought up by the CBP agent who detained him. By attacking and slandering pro-Palestinian content creators and influencers he feels personally slighted by he is unwittingly doing the bidding of Netanyahu and Trump both.

Either way, philosopher John Rawls concludes differently in his 1971 A Theory of Justice, stating that a just society must tolerate the intolerant, for otherwise, the society would then itself be intolerant, and thus unjust. However, Rawls qualifies this assertion, conceding that under extraordinary circumstances, if constitutional safeguards do not suffice to ensure the security of the tolerant and the institutions of liberty, a tolerant society has a reasonable right to self-preservation to act against intolerance if it would limit the liberty of others under a just constitution. Rawls emphasizes that the liberties of the intolerant should be constrained only insofar as they demonstrably affect the liberties of others: “While an intolerant sect does not itself have title to complain of intolerance, its freedom should be restricted only when the tolerant sincerely and with reason believe that their own security and that of the institutions of liberty are in danger.”

That’s a whole lot of words to communicate what could be easily described by reframing the concept of tolerance as a social contract rather than a moral precept.

So they took over a building they don’t own, refused to leave, and had a list of demands?

Yeah, sounds like something the police should be called for.

Would you say the same thing about organized sit-ins in segregated buildings during the civil rights movement? Same set of facts, took over a building they didn’t own, refused to leave, had a list of demands. If not, then clearly you believe that if the status quo is untenable and the demands reasonable then the action is justified.

This is peaceful civil disobedience in opposition to an ongoing genocide being broken up by the police state.

Right, white people aren’t allowed to be activists. Instead they should bitch and moan in internet comment sections about activists not doing enough or not doing the right things while doing nothing themselves.

The difference with these AI cults is that the AI is essentially standing in for the cult leader. A cult leader that can speak to millions simultaneously in one-on-one personal conversations is something new that is going to have real world consequences.

This is ridiculous. What would Greta have to do to earn your respect, huh? You’re really gonna ask “why wasn’t she on the boat” as if she planned for the humanitarian aid vessel to be drone striked the day before she was going to board it? The fuck are you doing?

I think another thing you’re missing is that while advances in technology historically didn’t bring about the apocalypse, they have on numerous occasions been the catalyst for major social upheaval and disaster. Society and culture has to adjust to these kinds of changes to what is possible, and that is not always pretty.

She is both a climate activist and advocate for Palestinian liberation, and framing her risking her life to demonstrate solidarity with the Palestinians as a shallow attempt at staying famous is incredibly ignorant and arrogant.

Journalism is dead. Harrison Brocklehurst, LLMs don’t know anything about how they were trained (hell, they don’t know anything at all). You cannot - if you have any critical thinking or journalistic integrity - take anything an LLM says at face value. You prompted it for information it does not contain in its training data and it hallucinated exactly what you wanted to hear.

I’m sure the velociraptors helped you stay focused too.

Yep, and it’s easily memorable because if you learn to count in binary on your fingers 4 is 🖕.
