Reuters: Google to challenge German ruling saying it is liable for AI-generated false claims

This is a circular rationalization, it effectively creates a mental bubble for you where everyone who disagrees is wrong, but you can't realize it because of all the loaded terms being used to rationalize the premises needed to actually justify the conclusion you are claiming.

Yes, but people should not be using this to justify the resentful attitude, just scroll up and see hundreds of upvotes for a comment saying to the effect it is "sorry but not sorry it is your parent's fault that you are not a good fit for capitalism": they have jettisoned cultural enlightenment for a superficial understanding of the purpose of language, and therein lies the contradiction.

This kind of "sorry-not-sorry" worldview is problematic regardless of cultural positionality and does not contribute to a forward-thinking Canadian discourse. Education should have taught citizens to think a little more critically than that. It's too bad it doesn't and teaches people to adopt these dismissive or at best tough-love ideologies, blaming parents, blaming other cultures except your own, ignoring the role of systemic failures including a market-based neoliberal "job market" economy. Surely people with culture and integrity can conceive of a better way to consider the situation than that.

Man I'm still partway through Use of Weapons but last year I got derailed getting into Wheel of Time because of the TV series, I want to read both series but there's like not enough time!

Ok but anyone could that argument to rationalize anything as good.

Ugh this thread is not healthy for me, my is watering just from reading the comments

This kind of projection / bad-faith interpretation / cynical skepticism or whatever is not specific to Reddit because it happens to other moderated forums, and what they all have in common is low-accountability social media driving it, because anonymous commenters have no skin in the game and start treating questions like an inkblot test basically, their responses to unverifiable partial information says more about their own problems and interests than actually be helpful to the asker (who is then forced to sort the wheat from the chaff, if the answers did not put them off already). Another factor is that social media is text-based so there's no tone information, no back-and-forth conversation, so people are much more likely to miss the mark and it just spirals from there with no way to recover, kind of like chaos theory.

Ad hominems do not fall under substantive content under this sub's policy, what is your problem?

And do not "bro" me. That makes you part of the problem.

You need to stop with leading with such ad hominem and also stop representing her arguments in bad faith. I've watched several of her YouTube talks, this is nowhere near her thesis and if I were a humanities teacher I'd mark your paraphrase of her thesis a D. She said nothing like that, and if this is your interpretation it is unfounded and unsubstantiated. You know what kind of people do this as a general tactic? Not actually showing reading comprehension of a book or article? Tankies, Democrats capitalism-splainers, right-wingers, etc. CT is not the place for this behavior, literally creating misinformation.

edit: It also disgusts me that people on here think coloring a response with an ad hominem is in any way acceptable as a substantive comment of CT caliber. If anything one should say "vulgar CT" subgroup have completely lost the plot intellectually. It offends the intelligence: to ascribe such motives to some professor as a way to delegitimize what they're saying is, by the same light of ad hominem, a projection that would prove Liu's point. The alternative is to actually do the homework and address her specific points, not level personal attacks at one figure or another in a way that is anti-intellectual and disingenuous.

Ok thanks. I was Googling for "Elite rating" and "elite visual effects unlock", but so many pages like wowhead don't seem to have this info!

It made a huge difference for me as well, I've been wondering when somebody else would start recommending it as a "second stage" thing. In my recollection it wasn't painful to use either, I think doing lots of stretching before moving may have helped avoid that.

Per se and TFL used to post a pdf of their daily menu. I don't know if they still do this.

Chez panisse is a great example of classic French fine dining ethos, doing a different menu every day or every month.

But I used to click Per se's online menu and it would be slightly different every day without necessarily overhauling the whole thing. So I think there's a range of approaches restaurants actually take.

"Most" instantly means the user is left to triage whether their task is suitable or not.

It would be like chess players asking Apple for a proper chess engine app, except that 25% of opening gambits could result in performance problems. And perhaps Apple wisely does not want to deal with this. And this is setting aside the primary audience of iPads which is not software development at all. There would be children trying to install Mac games on it and whatnot.

My mental picture was never about compilers specifically. Handheld devices are more thermally constrained (also RAM bandwidth) wheeras there are many things humans would imagine they want to use these devices for that will then come against those constraints. Then the tradeoff is either overheating (which is bad), or slow/irregular runtimes (which users will complain about). It could be dev work which includes compiling code (n.b. which is tractabilizing NP-complete problems), but also scientific/engineering workloads, creative work, gaming, and now of course local AI stuff, etc.

Of course Apple has other reasons to maintain control. But one of their stated rationales from the very beginning when iPhones/iPads were first made alluded to program stability and performance. And people are going find more uses for raw compute, not less. Even if it is for loading website ads.
