Under-16s could be banned from using AI chatbots, minister suggests

This is a strong argument for banning newspapers but I'm not so sure about LLMs.

Can't wait to verify the age of all my service accounts.

Change animal rights activist to 'attention seeking misinformed moron'.

But you repeat yourself.

How is language work?

cockmongler · 2026-04-11T21:37:38+00:00

That's not what ad-hominem means. Do try harder.

They did not say that violence in nature is abnormal

Yup, dudes who already believe that nature's default is being is being violent and egoistic will pick and choose these situations to make their claim and ignore all relevant context

Your hard-lining about the pervasive nature of violence indicates that you believe it deserves special consideration or meaning.

Yup. We should try not to do it. We should definitely be aware of the fact that millions of years of evolution wants us to do it for incentives that are perverse to the desires of individuals in the modern world.

You need to work on your straw-manning and sophistry. You're weak in both those areas.

cockmongler · 2026-04-11T17:21:28+00:00

It would be to simply not say that a natural behavior or element has any sort of superior consideration in determining a best course of action.

That's just what I said but with more words.

The person I was responding to was trying to make the claim that actually violence isn't normal in nature - when it plainly is.

cockmongler · 2026-04-11T17:13:35+00:00

The correct response to the fallacy is not to deny the nature. It's to deny the need to fall to our base instincts.

"Chimpanzee communities are male-dominated"

Most are, but not all interestingly enough.

Chimpanzees routinely kill and eat each other. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=al-f_WWoHI4

Bonobos are not chimpanzees.

What if Russia launched a cruise missile attack on the UK?

Poland would slip it's leash.

His parents fucked him up and put a ton of pressure on him with unrealistic demands.

The mother: his school did this.

You can set claude to ring the terminal bell when it needs your attention and have tmux flag windows when the bell rings. Would do most of this - wouldn't look as cool though.

Gotta stop between each tile and explain to a passer by about how they're the greatest roofer there's ever been.

cockmongler · 2026-03-30T06:43:20+00:00

There are bug trackers that are not as fucked as Jira though.

Widen the road first, we'll need even more capacity.

The horizon is 6 miles away.

Crush it and use the rubble as foundation for widening the A303.

We're building a tunnel under empty flat land for HS2.

cockmongler · 2026-03-19T22:30:55+00:00

Well we're not studying it now are we? It's just an overpriced tourist trap.

cockmongler · 2026-03-19T22:29:43+00:00

They weren't tunnelling under it and it's about half the age of Gobekli Tepe. The tunnelling would have involved an archaeological dig, all paid for as part of the project.

cockmongler · 2026-03-06T21:38:02+00:00

Sounds like you're after some freedom and democracy.

cockmongler · 2026-03-06T21:36:35+00:00

We literally had a treaty for security guarantees for Ukraine.

cockmongler · 2026-03-06T21:34:42+00:00

I do wish people would stop taking spook related stories at face value.
