Some of the early backrooms lore and levels were based on noclipping in furniture stores or even IKEA directly since it was all fan made stuff not caring about the legal ramifications. I tried to find a link but it’s impossible now that bac

Oh, I thought the main difference was I wasn’t given outsized rewards, wealth beyond imagination, power over society, and most importantly. I actually have consequences when I make promises and fail them. I don’t get to keep claiming full s

New Reddit is literally unusable for me. And I mean actually literal. Anytime an image is opened in new Reddit I have a 50% chance of not being able to back out of the page without it immediately redirecting back to the image and then locki

Give me enough guano, charcoal, sulphur, steel, and flint and I can cobble together carpet bombing from my kitchen without ever having to go up the tech tree past a few hundred years ago. Hell Hamas themselves under heavy sanctions have sho

The elite broke trust. No one made people like Sam Altman into a compulsive liar. No one made Musk call a service full self driving, and then make it return liability to the user the second it decides an accident is about to happen. Stop re

Private financial support doesn’t count, that’s private actors. I’ll accept Starlink as US support despite their back and forth on supporting Russia, because they are a large corporation requiring on government assent the same way Wildberri

> Israelis can't carpet bomb. They don't have the tech. What? I’m not even responding to the rest if this is how you open up. Carpet bombing is so low tech I can’t imagine a country in the modern age that couldn’t create the te

It is when there’s an existential threat which, agree with Israel’s government or not, they believe the neighboring Islamic factions are. I’m not claiming it would be easy but it’s definitely not an amount that losing would end the war over

And they can redirect resources to the war if we removed it. If anything, removal of our support probably leads to the use of dumber less targeted weapons like carpet bombing or good ole white phosphorus that they’ve already demonstrated us

Israel vs Palestine is not a major conflict, especially given the one sided nature of the fight. Israel + US vs Iran is a majorish conflict but the US is directly a belligerent in that one. > also, arguably, the half-century of creating,

I don’t know why so many people take it as a given that Israel only exists because of America. They used to be aligned with the USSR and we did a lot of work to peel them off into our own domain. They also have their own military industrial

If you’re referring to Ukraine as one of the two, we already heavily reduced our support under Trump and there is no chance in hell that removing the leftover support causes Ukraine to capitulate by tomorrows, especially after recent territ

The only improvement I’ve seen is speed of development, but it’s come at the cost of quality. Hence pretty much every single piece of software a consumer uses becoming significantly worse over the past two years. It’s especially worsened by

You can absolutely hate the player. You can even hate yourself if you know you’d make the same choice. We’re all humans, we have agency. We’re not some pachinko ball bouncing through life.

The difficulty is with you saying > Yes possibly so I'd have to see the evidence for that,… And then in your next comment > Oh no, I don't need evidence… You are being contradictory

If the interview was specifically about doing it manually that’s one thing. I called them schizophrenic because the companies I’ve interviewed with seem like they desperately want to be on the AI bandwagon and want you to demonstrate the ab

Those guidelines were written before bots could pass the Turing test and before nation states set up active disinformation groups that don’t even set out to push a narrative, but to just push every side of divisive topics just to spread div

This is hacker news. Not Reddit. You can comment about anything here and build credibility. Just don’t start on the most divisive topics.

by lovich 9d ago
It’s the era of ai bots and coördinated agitprop from nation states. Spend some time building your reputation before arguing for divisive topics or be ignored. Consider it a mechanical Turk but for social trust.

I suppose you could walk away to grab a snack or bathroom break during a commercial like in the old days but then I assume we will accelerate our path to drinking the verification can. Reference for those who don’t know the meme https:&#x2

We didn’t need to see resignations because they were fired when the numbers weren’t good, in his opinion, previously.[1] I get that the king does multiple things per day that used to be admin ending but we shouldn’t forget his machinations

AI has completely broken interviewing as well. The asks I am getting in the few interviews I can achieve are schizophrenic. They have pretty uniformly wanted me to demonstrate using AI but then freak out and interrogate me for every prompt

As someone who had to shoplift food during the era if I wanted to eat, jobs were scarce and the meager savings that everyone in my financial situation had were quickly wiped out.

You were not clear at all, I am asking for clarification. I thought that `atmavatar's question was clearly in response to your statement and you are saying it is not. Assume I am ignorant to the context of this conversation if need be.
