Personally i’m hoping for good news from the hungarian election and the end of orban.

And of course like every being capable of moral reasoning, i can’t wait to see steven miller in a prison he built, locked in a 10 person cell with 1 toilet and 100 other nazis. Happy days! 😊

I personally find marvel movies boring, and a misuse of wealth, but marvel films aren’t boring in the same way that cars going around in a circle is boring, and they’re not gruesome in the way that eagerly waiting to see real people injured is gruesome.

See i was gonna say good because all motorsports are boring and gruesome displays of misused wealth.

A lot of what ai is good at is very useful for automating massive state surveillance programs. AI could monitor live audio and video communication for problem phrases, for example.

Making authoritarian rule easier and cheaper is a very valuable capability to elites, though detrimantal to the world.

I think the main effect of ai will be continuing this deadly trend of power consolidation that we’ve seen since maybe the mesolithic. The power of information will be conslidated in fewer and fewer ai-oligarchs, allowing ever more intrusive states to control more people more precisely.

considering this corrupt regime has assassinated our leader

As a sport hating atheist it’s very weird to agree with the sports minister of a theocracy.

But you gotta admit, that’s a completely accurate assessment and a reasonable reaction.

It’s going to make snr devs get fired, surely?

They either refuse to sign off when boss wants them to and get fired or sign off and get fired when ai code they signed off on causes issues.

I think the headline is designed to be misleading - the dramatic tone implies a worse situation than the actual words describe.

It’s not how headlines are written now, but it would be more honest to say: Dubai to rely less on fresh food Perishable food in limited supply Fresh fruit and vegetables affected by war in iran

The UAE is not about to starve. It maintains strategic grain reserves and holds significant stocks of frozen and packaged foods, meaning the country is not facing a broader food shortage.

Lol no.

Who are we trying to impress with how un-creased are sheets briefly are before we sleep on them? Ourselves? We’re much too smart to be impressed by something so irrelevant.

The motorbikes in akira were incredible, i still only use motorbikes in cyberpunk 2077 because of that.

We no doubt gave that intel to russia, either directly through the many cabinet members who are russian assetts or indirectly by those assetts purposefully gutting cybersecurity and counter-esponiage capacity.

Porco Rosso is my favourite ghibli film. A lot of it is just miyazaki drawing gorgeous airplanes in gorgeous sky-scapes. Plus there’s a pig!

I am become derp, destroyer of worlds.

Yeah i agree - states are institutions dedicated to violence. Whether or not they did some arcane legal rituals before murdering iranians and americans is hardly the point.

But i do think it matters to show that the state is lying when it claims to use violence legitimately. It doesn’t even adher to its own made up rules.

And it matters that their violence is so unpopular that they can’t even let a body as unrepresentative as the US congress get a say.

The Greens senator David Shoebridge called the prime minister’s claim that no Australian personnel were involved in offensive action “extraordinary” and said it was inevitable that Australian personnel would be involved in US action.

“This makes Australia obviously, clearly, unambiguously, part of an illegal war, part of a war that is breaking down the norms of international law and making the world a less safe place,” he said.

“It is as sure as day follows night that Australians throughout the US military are actively involved, part of the United States and Israel’s illegal war in Iran.” … According to the Royal Australian Navy, one in 10 crew members onboard US Navy attack submarines is Australian.

1 in 10 is a lot!

In taiwan they bake them, mash them, sculpt the mash into a potato shape, bread that, fry it, cut that open, then serve it with some combo of broccoli, corn, pineapple, shrimp, oyster mushroom and always swimming in an inch of nacho cheese.

Good vodka is just vodka that tastes less like vodka.

That’s almost identical to how my family makes latkes, just we add a little grated onion as well. Going back we’re from nearby poland/lithuana so not that surprising i suppose.

We’ve found the secret is to hand-squeeze the moisture out of the gratings before adding the flour and egg, it just tastes way better.

This video from Ancient Americas on the history of the potato might be in my top 10 youtube videos.

Isn’t rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer cheaper though?
