@GSVBemusementPk I honestly thought they'd be everywhere, like how snake antivenoms are apparently in most Californian ERs
This anecdote is significantly increasing the likelihood I get a prophylactic vaccine (I would if I were doing travelling in India).
@AaronBergman18 I went looking for a thread that claimed people around her staged her intellectual accomplishment. One claim was that her eye surgery was purely cosmetic and not medically necessary.
It does seem rare and silly to think she didn't exist at all but some tweets attest to it. Wow.
@Thomasdelvasto_ Your chat would be one of the top ones I'd be keenest to join but my outside options are enough that I would feel no devastation if I were not in it
@uncle_deluge I have been using it all the time when messaging this one person and about half the time with AI. The AIs latch on a little too eagerly whereas the human has yet to play ball. I think I got it from 𝔫𝔦𝔫𝔢
@StefanFSchubert It's important to protect people who are smarter or more careful than those who are judging them, because this will be used in settings where appeals are impossible or a bias once set cannot be reversed.
Many people cannot write as well as LLMs. They are paranoid and suspicious.
@lowkeyGPT I also found my mum really enjoyed RRR (Indian (musical (action (period))) movie), which surprised me. In a few dimensions it was not really her sort of movie, but perhaps through excess it had become something different entirely and so she saw good after good in it
In year 2 our Teacher of French wanted us to do French accents. I felt this was kind of a faux pas, it felt like national mockery. I didn't really have a concept of "racist" but it did feel undignified or disparaging to the French.
In HS I mentioned this to a friend in 🇯🇵 class.
@lowkeyGPT Oh I fully believe it!! I think this is perhaps also related to how I find foreign accents endearing, which is maybe why it feels like a mockery to put one on. Deep psychology at play. Both my semi-foreign friends + those in very deep aspergers territory are very charming fellows
If I were trying to learn a language I would have you find me speaking to co·workers about my lapputoppu computaa, my heart ingratiated once more with my tongue and the other way around too, I would most keenly convince myself to have a Japanese accent.
I'd be bushido incarnate!
@owenbroadcast I thought about this a lot in high school. My conclusion: words are the issue. You're running a translation layer in your head and the whole classroom project was to be as far away from qualia as possible.
Always "purple, yellow, orange, brown" never "multiple choice: 🟪🟨🟧🟫".
@samuelcpaiva@foundingleaderh@RnaudBertrand@teortaxesTex Autarky is inefficient but at some point you have to ask if it is more inefficient than energy poverty and destroying cooling towers. Those cooling towers would be useful for data centres right now. Or gas turbines. Or industrial chemistry. Or nuclear power.
@samuelcpaiva@foundingleaderh@RnaudBertrand@teortaxesTex (Unless you believe it was a psyop...) America didn't demolish German nuclear power plant cooling towers nor cause the Austrians to never turn on Zwentendorf Nuclear Power Plant.
Africa + Australia have ~limitless energy for Europe in magic radiometals. Don't even need Eurasia.
