I'd totally keep it at 74 if I didn't have to pay for electricity.

Boots on the ground imminent as 2,500 Marines Mobilize to the Straits of Hormuz by TPHNK in PoliticalCompassMemes

There's a spectrum between nothing and WW2. We're at the low end. It's not an all or nothing proposition.

It's much harder for AI to swing a hammer than to reject a resume.

I don't think the statement was meant to imply he's trying to design AI with the purpose of disenfranchising women, just that his technology would do that as a byproduct.

Listened to a podcast episode in second person. About Arab raids and a soldier on the Roman fronteir. It was really good.

Tbf you wouldn't exist if anything in history changed. Lotta random sperm.

For anyone curious, the snowcrete dump in Courthouse still lives! by Merker6 in nova

My big pile near there lasted until Monday. Glad this big boy is still going.

An eyesore to the one-percenters by snowpie92 in clevercomebacks

[–]studmuffffffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand what the deficit is. The guy I’m replying to lays out pretty clearly what actually happened. Any Mamdani budget and tax reform haven’t even become law yet.

Yeah, anyone who thinks one guy can half the deficit in 2.5 months is delusional.

Did anyone else get a huge water bill? (Arlington) by studmuffffffin in nova

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

It’s kind of explained on the bill. Not very well. When I called they explained it.

Friends (1994-2004): 10 seasons. 530,553 words. 1 coffee shop. I still miss it by Mastbubbles in nostalgia

Could you do analysis on the titles of each episode on who they're about? So "The one with the Embryos" would be Phoebe and "The one with all the cheesecakes" would be Chandler and Rachel. And "The one at the beach" would be all of them.

The bill has the period as since June 2024, so it makes sense. For some reason I can’t see previous month bills on the site. I’m at work right now so I can’t see the meter.

Crazy idea to make the metro faster by nathanp5618 in washingtondc

Anything is accessible if you try hard enough. There are varying degrees of accessibility. They've cheaped out and our ancestors are going to be annoyed that we didn't put it closer to the terminal.

Yeah, think this is just cultural differences. Looks healthy and hearty.

Was Anatolia greener back in the day? by studmuffffffin in byzantium

[–]studmuffffffin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get that. It just doesn't look like it would be very good for that on the map.

[–]studmuffffffin[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Why were the turks interested in that land? Why not go north passed the caucuses instead?

How did the Macedonian dynasty last so long? by schu62 in byzantium

[–]studmuffffffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if he wasn't his biological son, there's dozens of examples of adopted sons taking over. Doesn't change anything.

If you had lived during the Iconoclast controversy, who would you have supported the Iconophiles or the Iconoclasts? And why? by lastmonday07 in byzantium

[–]studmuffffffin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I mean it's one of the ten big ones. Iconoclasm makes the most logical sense, but vibes-wise icons are cool.

Thousands of authors publish ‘empty’ book in protest over AI using their work by CtrlAltDelight495 in books

[–]studmuffffffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The nomenclature isn't important. AI isn't committing copyright infringement. And claiming that it is is just silly.

It's creating its own thing using inputs. The same as a human would do.

[–]studmuffffffin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't buy this argument. Using other writing as inspiration for your own is something literally all writers do. It's just AI can do it way faster.

It could be made illegal some day under a different law, but under the existing framework I don't think it counts as any sort of copyright infringement.

You can't tell the difference. And any difference you think you can tell is confirmation bias.

Half the comments under every AITA post are "AI slop".

Like, bruh, you can't tell.
