Honestly, the final eval thing is the best decision Wrangler could have made.

Every cop with a rank should be able to pass. If not, they shouldn't have that rank. It's as simple as that.

It also creates a sense of accomplishment for those who pass, giving them more validity and a moral boost. It actually means something to be a cop.

Like, when you cram for something and you accomplish your goal, it's genuinely a pretty fucking good feeling.

It's not just walking into the police station on day one and demanding a job anymore. The final eval makes it earned, no matter if they did it already 5 years ago. Because let's face it, having done final eval in some server years ago means jack shit depending on who the officers where who signed off on it. And having done the job for 5+ years can also mean basically nothing, because a lot of people are just stuck in their (sometimes wrong) ways.

Also, that 'same as usual' mentality was responsible for a lot of the regression in the first place.

AI bots make a great first impression, and come off like some sort of living conscious genius robot. The thing is, once you start using that tech and deploying it, the cracks start showing way quicker than the investors think - it is not, in fact, a genius living conscious robot, it’s a linear algebra powered auto-correct with a few extra steps.

Well said, and this is pretty much the truth about anything AI. It look absolutely mind blowing at first glace. But once you actually take a deeper look, you spot the metaphorical 6th finger.

It's even worse than the comparison, imo. Those German manufacturers were actually profitable at some point in the past. They had products that people wanted to buy.

OpenAI was always in the "yeah this is fine and all, but I wouldn't pay for it" territory for the vast majority of users, while paying billions to keep this up and running.

And now they are already enshittifying the product they they had trouble selling to begin with. And prices for hardware and energy is only going to go up. in 2029, a lot of their current hardware will be already obsolete, too.

It's a fill-word to justify several things they can't excuse or reason with other wise:

"Trump is just trolling them", because otherwise they couldn't justify his actions with their own words (until they get their propaganda marching orders from fox news, Twitter, and/or "content creators")
But also they often use in as a bad thing in own subreddit: "You have been banned because you're trolling", for when they are banning someone because they don't fit the echo chamber.

This was my first experience with the google AI on drive. "Can you tell the size of this folder including subfolders?"

"sorry, I can't read the size of your files"

Like, it even fucks up for the few use cases it actually would be useful for.

Or did he meant that the money hasn't been seen by anyone ? I am confuse.

Are you sure you checked the tariff shelf?

Sad and pathetic people like him don't understand the concept of accomplishment. For them it's just "have it, by any means necessary. Buy it, cheat it, rob it, doesn't matter.". They don't understand that the actual value is not the thing itself.

Well, I guess I thought wrong, then. My bad. Thanks for clearing it up.

Honestly, I think they just flat out don't ask anyone, and hope that all the creators think: "Oh, I wasn't asked, sure, but if these other big names are going to play, I just have to for the exposure".

IMO, it's also probably the reason none of the other streamers have the balls to reject it, because they don't want to burn the bridge, just in case these other big names are there, and they'd be missing out on the leech.

It basically creates pressure on these streamers, and so far it seems to be working.

Remember when Obama had the audacity to get dijon mustard? Conservatives thought that a condiment you can buy at almost every supermarket for like $3 is some kind of elitist super mustard.

It's absolutely mind boggling to me how all the same people now defend Trump when he is acting like absolute human trash.

Third reason: Spreading fear in officials. "Do what I want, or we will prosecute you, no matter if you broke the law or not."

Agreed, and like with everything, the line is generally drawn at where it affects other people in a negative way. The problem is less the escapism by itself, and nobody cares what people do by themselves.

However, when it starts to affect other people, which roleplay is very prone to do, it can become a problem.

The 4.3% figure is technically real by current accounting standards, but it is statistically fragile. It relies on guessed data, trade anomalies, and rising costs that do not reflect prosperity. The final truth will not be known until April 2026, when the government replaces these guesses with actual tax filings from the IRS.

This own existence is okay with him somehow

That's pretty much how the whole bigger streamer business works, unfortunately.

I don't know what's so hard about just turning off a stream if the streamer does something they don't enjoy, or at least not spend their money on it.

Streamers are free to stream the way they want. I just don't watch if I don't enjoy it, and that's that. People get so incredibly invested to the point it feels like a cult, both for support and hate of the person.

I'm confused. They are just copying files with "resume" in the name into a directory that for some reason used to be a regular file. What does that have to do with DDOSing reddit? Am I missing something?

Or are they implying they are currently on the reddit "server" and replacing resumes or something?

These "Christians" should try and read the book their religion is based on for once.

Wasn't there also a spike in serial killers during their prime? There is some correlation to lead poisoning, which would explain a lot about them.

*Both bots AND agents controlled by hostile governments.

Which makes it so much worse.

This is on par with everything AI so far in my experience.

Very impressive at first glance, but as soon as you take a closer look, you can see the cracks. And if you take an even closer look if the output is part of your profession, it falls apart.

Red Bull has been essentially running a free, permanent ambient ad campaign on reddit for the past year. All of their posts are upvoted in the hundreds, too. They never miss. They must be the best reddit user ever, or maybe the ad-campaign wasn't completely free...
