“Artificial intelligence” (#AI) is the wrong term for the many services for which the term is being used. These are not generating intelligence. They are generating text or images or music—that is, information.
But it's not real information. It's ersatz* information. So when you hear "artificial intelligence,” I suggest that you substitute “ersatz information.”
This is of a piece with the discussion between Melanie Mitchell and Alison Gopnik that I just posted, at almost the precise second you posted your comment 😂
@the_other_jon it's been a while since I used it (I don't really do road trips often) but it was fantastic every time I used it.
I just planned the trip using the web UI and then navigated from each suggested charger to the next one, and it nailed the SOCs within a few percent every time
OK, clear. I'm a newbie and do enjoy people talking about it.
Is there a lack of quality, because can't see why people talking about this on social media would be considered a bad thing.
@petrescatraian I don't have any plans to visit the Balkans at this time, but if I do, I need to have a reason to visit.
Nobody wants to watch a video where I complain about all the things wrong with a place they've never been to. I would prefer to focus on something that is done well, and then mention some of the things they could do better.
If anyone thought for one second that the property owning class was being "contradictory" in how they flopped from "stealing is illegal" to "stealing is how we make humanity immortal in a cryogenic goo uploaded to the cloud," thats because you dont talk to enough pirates!
Nebula gift cards are now available ... and you can pay for them with iDEAL!
I have had so many people tell me over the years that they would sign up to Nebula, but only if they could do it via iDEAL. Now that it's available, I am expecting half of the Netherlands to sign up by the end of the weekend.
iDEAL and Giropay are NOT yet available for normal subscriptions, but you can "gift" yourself a subscription if you'd like!

Okay, I overreacted. Mistake, not malevolence. Sorry for that. I still have to wonder: how is it possible that a mistake in the referral url changes the product? I guess it says something about me that I am unwilling to give companies the benefit of the doubt, but I've seen too many dark patterns to do so.
According to the #Rahimi Court nothing in #Heller created an unbounded right to keep handguns in the home and nothing in #Bruen disturbs the government's authority to regulate firearms possession by those who have been found to pose a credible threat to the physical safety of others. 7/
Now at the part of the #Rahimi opinion that explains where the Court thinks the lower court, the Fifth Circuit, and the dissent by #ClarenceThomas both err. Both insist on a historical twin to justify a law disarming those who pose a credible threat of domestic violence, when what is required is an analogue. Furthermore, the Fifth Circuit went out of its way to make up a conflict between the domestic violence law and the Constitution.
Great passage from #Sotomayor: "Under [#ClarenceThomas] approach, the legislatures of today would be limited not by a distant generation’s determination that such a law was unconstitutional, but by a distant generation’s failure to consider that such a law might be necessary. ... #Rahimi 13/
@JamesGleick Orwell thought about putting this into 1984, but it seemed a bit over-the-top and he was afraid that it would make the story less believable ...
