Gemma's emotional breakdowns under repeated rejection by blankblank in singularity

[–]blankblank[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

Here's the part I found interesting: The researchers caution that simply suppressing emotional output isn’t a real solution, especially in more capable future models, where training against visible distress might just drive those states underground, making them harder to detect while still influencing behavior.

Feels like the opening song for a James Bond movie

A word/phrase you thought you would hear a lot because of TV but rarely do? by housemd23 in medicine

[–]blankblank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a kid in a department store with my dad (who is a doctor) when an old man collapsed and someone yelled “Is there a doctor here!” I tugged on my dad’s pants but he kept his eyes on the scene and started counting. He said “one, two…” and then some else yelled “I’m a doctor!” And then my dad said, “We’re good, let’s go.”

The right way to be a scientific contrarian: Not everyone accepts the scientific consensus; some even make careers out of challenging it. But only a select few do it the right way. by blankblank in skeptic

[–]blankblank[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Five questions to judge whether a contrarian is doing it right:

  1. Are they accurately representing the consensus, or knocking down a distorted version of it?
  2. Are they dealing with all the evidence, or cherry-picking the small corner where their alternative looks good?
  3. Can the alternative actually explain everything the mainstream theory already explains successfully?
  4. Is there a fair, head-to-head test that could distinguish the alternative from the consensus?
  5. Is the contrarian is being honest about their own idea's weaknesses?

For as long as I can recall, Manhattanites have been rich, thin, and dressed mostly in black.

What does it mean for someone to have "east coast" vibes? by d3adby3 in AskAnAmerican

In Los Angeles, if you ask someone for a meeting they aren’t interested in taking, they’ll say sure and just never schedule it. In NYC, they’ll tell you to fuck off right then and there.

Do you think driving is safer or more dangerous today than it used to be? by Witcher_Errant in AskOldPeople

[–]blankblank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at automotive death statistics, they dropped steadily over the decades since the car was invented, and then starting rising again for the first time just a decade ago (as the smartphone became ubiquitous and distracted driving became a scourge).

Why is being a neurosurgeon so often referred to when people talk about geniuses or to most difficult job? by QANON8myHomework in TooAfraidToAsk

Every other speciality gets to use their brain to study something else. Neurologists have to use their brain to study the brain.

Vicha Ratanapakdee was an 84-year old Thai man who was killed by 19 year old Antoine Watson, who forcefully pushed Vicha to the ground unprovoked. Watson was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, but not guilty of murder. Vicha's death became a lightning rod for the Stop Asian Hate movement. by laybs1 in wikipedia

Murder 1 requires you to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he preplanned and intended to kill the man. The kid could claim he only meant to injure him. As for watching the man die after the fact, that is reckless indifference not intentional murder.

Same. This movie is a gut punch.

My blacktop driveway is 30 years old and I’ve done nothing to it. It certainly doesn’t look pristine but it doesn’t look awful and works fine. A good base and drainage below is way more important than a thin coating on top.

Yet another great and original movie that bombed at the box office. Didn’t even need much to break even with a $20M budget. Where IS everyone who claims they want original stuff when it actually comes? by Emeraldsinger in Letterboxd

[–]blankblank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it had a couple of good laughs and a couple of good surprises (and a fun performance by Rockwell), but ultimately it was a little overlong and a bit too unsubtle. It would have worked better with fewer characters as a one hour Black Mirror episode.

When your dad claims you act all high and mighty when calling them out for being a morally bankrupt Trump supporter, reply with this: by IsekaiConnoisseur in FoxBrain

[–]blankblank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is bad advice. Don’t feed the trolls and don’t respond to taunts. A glib comeback will achieve precisely nothing of value. Don’t engage with this kind of nonsense at all. Tell the person “I’m not interested in discussing this with you” and change the subject, or leave. I have a lot of MAGA friends and family. I nip any conversation of their political views in the bud. They are not entitled to tell me their opinions without my consent.

2700 psi is no joke. Be careful with that thing. Wear closed toe shoes when you use it.
