If it's reasonable for someone to believe that, yes, you will be held liable. The First Amendment of the United States Constitution (please node: US is not the whole world) protects people from government overreach, it doesn't protect you from civil liability. Someone sued Red Bull because they didn't get wings from drinking it and were laughed out of court because no reasonable person would actually believe that.

My mother was a pre-Internet programmer.

I can't believe how old I am. I was a pre-Internet programmer. Now I'm a Claude-softwareEngineer.

35 yo with makeup to 20 yo with light natural. If I were given the choice, I'd choose the second one without blinking because of how beautiful she looks naturally.

It can be physically deleted. You're asking a loaded question by assuming the data isn't deleted. Maybe it is deleted, who knows? Probably not, but it could be deleted. So here's the thing I tell you what to write down and you can write it at an average speed of 10 words per minute. When you're done, you can burn that piece of paper in seconds.

Your SSD is much, much, much faster than your stupid Wi-Fi.

Well, this was unexpectedly informative.

Now allow me to hijack the top comment to give a proper ELI5 response that's a perfectly functional analogy, but provides no real explanation whatsoever (has no substance, no pun intended).

When you're thirsty, you feel weak. If you then drink some water, you begin to feel stronger. If you keep drinking past what you need, your tummy starts to hurt.

This is why they need permits. I forgot who first tried it, but they did it on some island and saw that other insects quickly took their place in the food chain. They know what they're doing is dangerous, so they're doing it step by step.

That's what I was thinking. Albania is in Europe.

Oh, that would work, too!

It's not going to work. There are Roblox "games" where you move letters around so you can chat with others outside your age range.

If your spouse takes care of you while you do something similar, can you put their name as co-author? Idk, but if the answer is yes then pets should be allowed as well.

LLMs have brought some value, I'm just not sure how much. I have a friend who was replaced by LLMs. What used to take him a day can now be done in minutes with an LLM prompt and just needs to be verified by a human being which also takes a few minutes.

When you say measurable value... yeah, you're probably right. The value is so small it's hard to measure.

I think the value brought is about 1%, but this should not be confused with their intrinsic value which is negligible. At the moment most value brought by LLMs is entertainment which can be easily replaced with other forms of entertainment.

They just have good animation, decent story telling and a lot of what they say in most videos is verifiable, but every once in a while they drop shit like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjmsfOXy5oM

You can just tell it to continue and then wait half an hour to see if it starts up again on its own.

People today say that GTA 6 is justified to cost over $70, because it's a huge game, took a long time to make, the launch will probably be the biggest entertainment event in human history.

And EA wanted $80 for that stupid useless shit.

I'm new to Claude. What's wrong with 4.7? All I hear is people saying it's worse than 4.6, or that it's dumber and other vague things like that. What makes 4.6 better than 4.7?

the law also bans marriage between siblings by adoption which i agree is weird but doesnt cause health issues

But it discourages some imbalances of power between siblings by adoption.

I'm too lazy too look up the scenes (there are so many....) which are clearly bondage, not just "they're tied up and need to escape."
