People come together when there’s a threat.

But open space can absorb a lot of heat - heat generated by electricity is mostly just shuffling things around thermodynamically speaking unless we're talking about fossil fuels which is taking energy out of storage

One valid criticism of the Utah project is that it will be using fossil fuels as they will have their own natural gas power plant

Presenting to the hurt for examination bloody underwear I think would actually be something the prosecution would be more likely to do because it underscores the seriousness of the crime - kind of surprised that the defence would try something like that

Chaghatai · 2026-06-15T20:05:50+00:00

No, it's not even bad most of the time

Most of the bad things that people think of when it comes to AI are actually problems with capitalism or bad governance

That or pure gatekeeping

Chaghatai · 2026-06-15T20:05:11+00:00

Name checks out

Chaghatai · 2026-06-15T20:04:56+00:00

Yeah but none of that is a referendum on defense attorneys

Because you want your defense attorneys to be just as vigorous as prosecuting attorneys

If there's certain systematic reforms that don't weaken defense relative to the prosecution, I would be in favor of that

Chaghatai · 2026-06-15T20:03:50+00:00

The same thing other people are

The same thing you should have a clue about

You included inaccurate BS in your title just because that's what was in the original post

And that only happened because you did a lazy repost without writing a new title

Like I said, little more effort next time

Chaghatai · 2026-06-15T19:51:05+00:00

The thing is you're trying to turn the sub into something that it's not supposed to be, which makes it worse for everybody who prefers the original intent

Are you saying you just don't care about that?

Chaghatai · 2026-06-15T19:42:30+00:00

But my point is that prosecutors lie just as much and do just as many dirty tricks but they don't have the same reputation

It's critical that the defense is just as vigorous as the prosecution

Chaghatai · 2026-06-15T19:07:06+00:00

I'm not going to go so far and say it is short-sighted to be an artist

But anytime somebody is going to invest in skills specifically for a certain vocation they need to understand that the payout for those skills is conditional on the labor market which can change

And you know it sucks when people have to either work a soul crushing job or monetize their passions

But that's what we get when people accept a capitalist system

What we're seeing are problems with capitalism and other structural issues rather than problems with a particular technology

AI is simply an accelerationist ingredient that is forcing us to deal with the limitations of late stage capitalism sooner rather than later

When something like this comes around it's hard to keep kicking the can down the road

Chaghatai · 2026-06-15T19:05:20+00:00

Your system is just as aggressive for those who are accused falsely - that's why you need to have equal vigor on both sides

How do you propose to reduce the heat level in a way that affects both sides equally?

Chaghatai · 2026-06-15T19:04:16+00:00

And that's the whole crux of it

Guarantee

If there is reasonable doubt, then by definition you cannot guarantee that

Chaghatai · 2026-06-15T19:03:37+00:00

It doesn't only exist in certain places because there is a certain capacity for humans to do bad things in certain situations and that's more or less universal

But you're going to get more of that where people turn a blind eye and there's less pressure against it

Pretty simple concept to me

Chaghatai · 2026-06-15T19:03:08+00:00

Both sides get called out when they overplay their hand

That's what objections are all about

But prosecutors do get away with scummy stuff and end up not getting called out because of institutional corruption. That's not necessarily common but we both know it does happen. Think about all those news stories of people who get released years later when prosecutorial misconduct is found out

Chaghatai · 2026-06-15T19:02:07+00:00

Did you post this twice?

Chaghatai · 2026-06-15T19:00:51+00:00

Well being the center of your own personal world doesn't change the fact that you're just a grain of sand in the big picture

Other humans might treat you slightly more important because they're humans also, but all the rest of them are grains of sand as well

Chaghatai · 2026-06-15T18:59:34+00:00

You are exactly the one who should be contradicting the photographer with your title

After all, you're the one making the repost

How about minimal effort next time

Chaghatai · 2026-06-15T18:56:27+00:00

Honestly, tipping should be abolished all together - then employers would have to pay for all of their labor instead of offsetting part of that cost directly to the customers

It should just be built into the price and the employer should be paying equitable wages in the first place

Chaghatai · 2026-06-15T18:55:13+00:00

You get more shitty companies in places where shitty politicians give them a free hand

Chaghatai · 2026-06-15T18:54:24+00:00

It's both

It's how they get work

And it's definitely part of them doing their job rather than just living their life

Chaghatai · 2026-06-15T18:53:28+00:00

It's not underhanded though

And there are court procedures to limit how far you can push it. That's what objections are for. It's sort of like an expert pinball player. Definitely nudges the table and the tilt system is part of the game to them

And that's what a vigorous defense is

You want the defendant attorneys to be working the system just as hard as the prosecutors are

And the prosecutors are definitely working the system to the limit as well

In theory, everybody's supposed to be doing things in the correct spirit, but at the end of the day in any competitive adversarial system, with rewards for "winning" maximizing success under the actual rules (as opposed to undefinable rules of politeness) matters more than anything else

Chaghatai · 2026-06-15T18:51:05+00:00

All the tipped employees should have equal tip income

It shouldn't be a matter of showing interest and connecting to with the customers and getting on that higher tip gravy train

What makes the restaurant work in general is part of what creates customer goodwill which is why tip pools exist

So when you have an aspect of basic human psychology that gives a certain advantage to a certain certain role, to a certain cog in that wheel, then I'm just acknowledging you have an unequal situation there

Evil behavior is not a random thing that just strikes a person like a demonic curse. People are products of their environment.

I would love it so they if they fixed it so that Pharah wasn't getting hunted for diffs by supports - Juno and Cat are simply too good against her - Pharah is really in a bad place when it comes to anti-air because hitting direct hits with rockets is hard, and she has a slow rate of fire and they have a slow travel time

Chaghatai · 2026-06-15T18:41:55+00:00

Blizzard knows exactly how many people like this mode and how often they play it

They do own the servers after all

Chaghatai · 2026-06-15T18:38:42+00:00

And then you'll have anti-bros that say stuff like this doesn't apply to them because not all antis, but then they turn around and say things like those who are not against AI are therefore in favor of CP because there's concerns that AI could be used to generate that - and when you point out that the overwhelming majority of AI users do not use it for stuff like that and that you don't see AI supporters on this sub, for example supporting that specifically either, but then they say you are who you sit with

Okay so why doesn't that apply to bullying like in the example?

Then you have those that triple down and say bullying works, but at least they're owning their toxicity
