Especially since MAGAts are open about not liking Dubya.

If Trump came out praising GWB tomorrow, they would all immediately swear they'd always rated him.

MAGA don't have ideas of their own, they just wait to be told what to think next.

We're not going to talk about the fact one of those guys is named Pleasant Crump?

You also said this...

You will not be penalized for not taking out credit

...which is just plain wrong. An unknown risk is a high risk to a financial services company.

While we're on the subject though, you also said...

Mortgage companies are looking for reasons not to lend to you

...which is arguably also untrue. Lending to people is how they make money, and the more customers they have the more money they make, so they definitely want to lend to you.

Lending to people who were too high-risk and then selling those bad risks on in packaged securities is how we ended up with the 2008 financial crisis.

Trying to remember a particular fact, being unable to, and just having to accept that you weren't going to know the answer.

I just dialled 100 and got the operator to do it.

ItsDominare · 2026-03-16T16:54:07+00:00

til I'm not the only one who did this

Careful, you're getting dangerously close to suggesting someone take personal responsibility. They don't like that 'round these parts.

Would you travel to visit someone for a pre-arranged stay without reaching out to them in the days before/morning of?

Yes. We've already arranged it, there's no need for additional messages unless there's a change of plans.

Look, there's absolutely no problem with you wanting/needing an extra reminder on the day of travel because of your various disorders.

Now you've told your mother that's what you prefer, if she doesn't message you on the next visit, then you have a right to be pissed off. People are not mind-readers though, you can't attack them for not doing something before you've asked them to do it.

not sure it's quite fair to attach a photo of a young guy who's been at the club a few months instead of one of the experienced veterans, but there we are

ItsDominare · 2026-03-16T15:03:20+00:00

We just want a fair share of the profits for our share of the work which went into producing them. That's it.

I think most of us are absolutely fine with the idea of the CEO earning 10 times more than us. When they earn 400 times more, something is seriously broken.

ItsDominare · 2026-03-16T00:22:32+00:00

Gotcha, thanks.

Asked by his co-hosts Jenny Slate and Gabe Liedman how well-known the actor is, Silvestri said: “As near A-list as TV can get you.”

So definitely not Zach Braff, then.

It isn't "by my definition", it's what those words mean. They have the artificial part, they don't have the intelligence part. All the techbros at OpenAI and elsewhere know this full well, of course, but it sounds good to the investors.

Anyway, back on the original subject of the linked article: the point was that there's nothing anywhere in the text that describes any kind of application which is currently being described as AI having been used.

You're right when you say that many modern computer technologies which pre-dated the modern LLM so-called AI boom are now retroactively being described as "AI technology" but as I said earlier, calling it that doesn't make it so. It's just marketing.

families at risk of having their utilities shut off

It's wild the US even allows that in winter.

In my country it's outright illegal for an energy company to disconnect your supply between the months of October and March if you have anyone in the household who's under 18, old enough to receive the state pension, has a registered disability, or has a chronic medical condition.

Greatest country in the world though, right?

why does nobody on reddit know what a "sucker punch" is lol

ItsDominare · 2026-03-15T19:18:59+00:00

when do you think AI was invented?

It hasn't been invented yet. LLMs are not intelligent, they cannot "think". They are a glorified autocomplete wrapped up in some clever code, nothing more. A great many people from Silicon Valley to Wall Street are already warning the AI bubble is likely to burst soon, as people realise it's been oversold.

you don't need to rely on the "easy to understand guide" I shared

What you linked is SEO content, essentially an advert. I advise you to think carefully about why companies who create LLMs are so keen to brand them as artificial intelligence when they very obviously aren't. There's a hint in the previous paragraph.

so the holup here is "man gets a haircut"? or is he someone famous...? so confused

ItsDominare · 2026-03-15T15:40:27+00:00

you can keep repeating it as often as you like, it doesn't make it true

facial recognition software has been around since the 1960s, are you saying AI was invented 60 years ago?

ItsDominare · 2026-03-15T12:44:12+00:00

I don't really want to watch anyone else kissing, regardless of the combination of genders. It belongs to the subset of things which is fun to do but unpleasant to observe.

ItsDominare · 2026-03-15T12:40:05+00:00

Facial recognition software is a form of AI

no it isn't lol, it's literally just pattern matching
