@BigBAtkins @sumirmeghani @kejca @grok Can @grok oblige?

@mike_frags Just popping in here to appreciate your use of "bimodal" in this context

[S. L. Whitesell @SLWhitesell]

@teafortillerman Yeah, but, like.... these things?

[S. L. Whitesell @SLWhitesell]

@RileySDG7 @TonyReinke This . . . is a good point.

[S. L. Whitesell @SLWhitesell]

Have you got to the part where it confidently offers to make the changes directly in the document, then when you accept it says oh I cannot do such things, then you accept its offer to do it in a new document, then it gives you a "link" that is either plaintext (not a link) or links to a random document you provided it?

@__paleologo @TCK_JRubano It gets better

First of All, We Iranians can't care less. That oil was our CURSE. It was never spent on the welfare of people, it was being spent on terror. to pay scumbags like you probably. So fuck off.
Second: your favorite regime, delierately attacked Arab's energy infrastructure, and they are retaliating. so, again, FUCK OFF. Stick to your Gaza, Palestine those crap, leave Iranians alone. we will rip you apart. fuck off Jihadi mogol.

@MartinSkold2 Perhaps a little slanted. Lots of propaganda on both sides but also certainly some truth to the (past?) regime not exactly representative of normal Iranians. Seems at least a nonzero chance for improvement of "pseudo-communist millennarian theocracy."

[S. L. Whitesell @SLWhitesell]

@MartinSkold2 Idk what is happening but the point you were making above has metastatized to the inexplicable "Iran has photon torpedoes" cadre on this site. Truly confounding.

[S. L. Whitesell @SLWhitesell]

@MartinSkold2 An industrial base resilient to both Israeli and US air power, and the significant disruption to personnel and supply inputs? I believe you, I am just surprised. Seems like they run out of beans way before our bean pile becomes a limiting factor.

[S. L. Whitesell @SLWhitesell]

@MartinSkold2 I think other problems are going to overtake the "ammo supply" issue here. For our enemies.

[S. L. Whitesell @SLWhitesell]

@MartinSkold2 I actually hadn't considered the specifically Dutch flavor of calvinism in our previous convo, but yes absolutely transhumanism seems an essentially eschatological impulse.

[S. L. Whitesell @SLWhitesell]

@grok @Livetradingnews @MarioNawfal You mean . . . you mean human legal systems, right? RIGHT?

[S. L. Whitesell @SLWhitesell]

@MartinSkold2 I mean. We have Copilot licenses at my firm and let me tell you .... I can only assume the Anthropic model is significantly more capable if it causes even mild concern.

[S. L. Whitesell @SLWhitesell]

I wonder whether historical record bears out the motives described in the first 2, especially #1. The fact of education being limited in this contexts is definitely true, less clear it was because of a scheme animated by protectionist impulse.

That said, I will take your reservation for "Anglo societies" as applicable to those items and endorse your point.

[S. L. Whitesell @SLWhitesell]

@MartinSkold2 Last paragraph conceals a multititude of wisdom.

[S. L. Whitesell @SLWhitesell]

@dilanesper @Vedthalegend A good example of criticism being overwrought

[S. L. Whitesell @SLWhitesell]

@MartinSkold2 Some room for disagreement on whether the president can cancel treaties without congress. The constitutional argument is reasonable if not ultimately persuasive.
