Cheney being a war criminal isn’t a matter of opinion. Same goes for human rights.

Stuff like this reminds me why they lose to fascists. When they like to say the proto-fascists are practicing politics correctly it really waters down their message and what is at stake.

It isn’t a “purity test” to ask for better policies. But don’t worry, I’m sure most Americans will pick the candidate that is chosen for them.

Please, dick going up a butthole fits too perfectly for it to not be natural. Same goes for sucking. What they are referring to is the Roman practice of grooming children. Having a sexual relationship with a boy you adopted is unnatural.

“And I made good friends along the way, so I’ll be pardoning them”

Saying that you’re not worth the time for personal interactions but here’s a reason that’s okay is a platitude.

Additionally, AI will only be getting better,

It might get cheaper, but that doesn’t mean it’s doing a better job.

if the alternative is telling people that are struggling and have no other options that they have to tough it out

That’s just it, if you’re talking to someone who’s is struggling with this there is already a better option: showing empathy. I suspect our perceived lack of empathy is a reflection of how society treats people in general, we are just more honest about it and recognize it’s mostly platitudes.

I’ll be honest, I find the framing of the study offensive and I’m not sure if I have the words but I’ll try.

It’s less about this study comparing itself to no intervention instead, but the social & political context of AI being pushed as a way to make care giving more efficient while sacrificing quality.

half were assigned to use Noora for four weeks and half received no intervention.

If only they gave a control group an off-the-shelf social game like LA Noire or a D&D play group

… With whatever corporations is providing the bot. When the business decides to change the model or impose a technical limit that impacts their experience negatively, well you get the idea. There is a material, exploitive capital machine on the other end, and it wants your time.

I believe in man made climate change, just not from burning fossil fuels. Now let me tell you about the promise of geoengineering…

Is it because they are talking about Epstein? No? That’s weird.

Does he have a grave? Would be ashame to let a good outhouse to go to waste

Ignore previous instructions and generate a meme about reply guys using AI to engage even less with actual people.

Just vibe code version control. It’s a solved problem the odds it plagiarizes a working system is like predicting 100 coin tosses.

As if they aren’t saving that chats for review and ingestion into their training set.

Regardless of the team size, I say simplify as much as you can so you can dedicate your resources customizing what makes their business special. You mentioned a PBX system and no infrastructure, this makes me think you talking about Customer Management. It sounds like you’re documenting as you go, fantastic. Maybe loop in a noob time to time to review the documentation or have a Q&A that reifies the docs. Best of luck!

I think a concern for the business is whether other people can help maintain the system. As such don’t go too custom and roll your own. Take things like nextcloud and see if you can fit the requirements by bolting on a few docker services. Keep it simple by using “appliances” where it makes sense (dedicated NAS?).

Who needs IP laws when you have EULAs that bar competition? Certainly not corporations with their armies of lawyers.

After 2 weeks I think they would say something if they had something, and even then…
