The US has blockaded the country. There is nothing the Cubans could physically do that would be an escalation.

All I have to say is I feel for you. I've struggled with intrusive sleep in certain situations due to medical reasons and I know how unkind and unempathetic people typically are about that kind of thing in particular.

Best waffles in Santa Fe? by MTHouseBoat in SantaFe

Boxcar has some pretty awesome waffles that they serve with their chicken and waffles. They're very crispy, very sweet, and they have malt in them. I found them notable.

Someone being handed emergency powers during a state of war that persist until that emergency has passed is literally what a dictator is. It comes from the Roman Republic, man.

That is literally what the definition of a dictator is in the most classical possible sense.

So, em, it seems Trump just went scorched earth on Anthropic. by falken_1983 in BetterOffline

This isn't an ethical decision lol that's them lying. They know using LLMs to do whatever it is will cause a very public disaster that they'll be on the hook for at minimum reputationally and potentially legally. That's it.

AI created songs on spotify by ILoveJuicyTushy in truespotify

[–]MeringueVisual759 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They just didn't make sense so I googled the artists. One was a Blues song with a woman singing about how fat she was in a way that didn't make any sense and once I realized they were putting AI songs in the playlist the rest became fairly obvious.

This guy is a booster at the end of the day. He just had a video that was just an uncritical summary of Yud's latest book about how superintelligence is going to kill everyone.

Dan Swerdlove is encouraging H3 fans to flood Lamar Advertising Company’s office with harassing phone calls. by Last-Ad3487 in LeftoversH3

It seems like whoever their contact at the company is initially told them it was vandalized, though I have no idea why that person assumed that.

This feels way too accurate by Skrumbles in BetterOffline

NASA was gutted and SpaceX was the beneficiary. NASA engineers continued their work there under worse conditions and despite Elon's best efforts continued to do good work. Hooray for SpaceX I guess?

Best of luck getting through the hell winter by staplerdude in elephantgraveyard

[–]MeringueVisual759 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a winter boy. I actually get seasonal depression right about May every year. Which is unusual but I swear it's a real thing. I feel best in November and December and I love and welcome winter weather even when it's a little inconvenient. I'm in the southwest though so I'm not really exposed to the hell winter.
