It was first released in North America, parts of Europe, Australia, and South America in November 2013

Unfortunately so, welcome to getting old

Do we really want to know what negative accountability looks like?

As much as I like to joke about it, that sounds like a legal nightmare… an AI making all decisions of a company, so now there’s even less accountability than before

Honestly with how heavily the documents were redacted, it’s easier to ask what was actually released in them.

They might as well have published hundreds of pages of Lorem Ipsum highlighted black.

Though if the rumours about some of the documents being improperly digitally redacted are true, that’d make things more interesting for sure.

Sounds like the sort of thing they’ll propose and put to a vote…

Only to all vote no on it, then gaslight their audience that they defeated yet another left-wing agenda

Its forgivable that a 20 year old might accidentally end up in this situation, not having realised that she was only 14 until she said so…

But you know what a normal person does when they realise they just accidentally had sex with someone underage?

They take them back home to their family and apologise profusely. They don’t have sex with them a second time round! That truly is some child predator behaviour right there.

Fair enough. I imagine as a PhD its easier to avoid since you’re doing new research, so you’re presenting unique information with (in theory) unique sentences.

Whereas for a lot of undergrad students, up until the tail end of their degrees, they’re writing about fairly extensively covered topics, so you’re much more likely to accidentally steal wordings from others who have already written about them. In fact at that stage, I’d bet having too low a plagiarism score would more likely indicate you’re barking up the wrong tree.

Genuinely. As a student I don’t think I ever saw a Turnitin score for my work below 40%. There are only so many ways to wrute a sentence about the same thing, so its impossible to not accidentally plagiarise someone’s works.

I remember one lecturer telling me that they don’t really look at the % unless its something aggregious like +70%. But more often they’re looking for patterns in what it highlights.

Loads of tiny highlights with individual sources are likely to be a false positive, but big chunks of highlights from only a couple of sources is likely to be a true positive.

Abso-fucking-lutely they should…

I don’t like the idea of a potentially world ending nuclear stand-off, but we’ve learned well enough from these past couple of years that having nukes is the only way to guarantee your country’s sovereignty against other nuclear powers.

I’d feel sorry for Elon IF his losses weren’t entirely perpetuated by his own immoral actions.

You want to be a fascist doing Nazi salutes and repeating Nazi rhetoric? - then don’t be surprised when people don’t want to associate you or your products.

Not that it matter, because he’ll survive off the back of SpaceX - which of course is not on DOGE’s radar.

Putting a photo through an AI photo filter is not artistic. Literally a toddler drawing with a crayon is infinitely more artistic.

Musk: “Civil War is Inevitable!”

People destroy his company’s products.

According to multiple sources, Reeves earns ~£150K a year. After taxes that’ll work out to ~£80-90K a year, which should work out at about £6500-7500 a month.

Openly accepting bribes is terrible enough, but when you’re in the top 10% of wages in the country, it’s so much worse.

The secret is both red and blue are establishment parties which seek to help billionaires.

The only difference is the blue parties billionaires are socially conscious, so they’ll act progressive, but won’t rock the boat economically.

Yeah…

• A game with actual gambling disguised as a loot system - perfectly fine, PEGI 3+

• A game that depicts gambling but has no actual gambling in it - absolutely fucking NOT, PEGI 18+

I can understand why PEGI would be hesitant to give a game depicting gambling a rating of 3+…

But putting it as 18+, on the same level as actual, real money gambling games is ridiculous.

It shows a complete lack of awareness regarding the difference in danger between depiction of gambling vs actual gambling. And perhaps more dangerously means malicious publishers (cough EA cough) are able to get away with slipping disguised real money gambling into their games (and in front of children eyes) unnoticed.

Those are essentially mutually exclusive…

If someone wants to argue with you, and you want to disengage, you have to accept that you’re not going to get the last word in no matter how many times you say “don’t argue with me” - cause you can’t control what they can say afterwards.

This is especially true, and comes off as childish, when you’re the one that baited that argument in the first place with “your piece”.

Similar to @Enkers@sh.itjust.works, I suspect I’m lacking some context here, but based purely on what I can see in this post, you came across as rather childish. I’m inclined to say YDI/BPR.

While I do agree that rule should have applied to Cowbee too, that doesn’t give you carte-blanche to do the same.

Also, confronting someone you know to be a troll in an intentionally inflammatory manner, then getting annoyed that they chose to argue with you is like waving a red flag in front of a bull and being surprised it charged at you…

You baited that argument, so I don’t have much sympathy for you in that regard.

Man I need someone to make a shooting stars meme but it’s Elon flying into the Sun

In all fairness, the concept of owning things isn’t unique to capitalism - it’s Personal property vs. “Private” property. Whether it’s money or bartering, the things you bought you own via your own hard work, and that’s your personal property.

Private property shouldn’t be a thing. A corporation shouldn’t own anything - there should always be a person on that contract that can be held to account. If you want to profit from your enterprise, you should be prepared to go down with it.

Unless Anon is willing to put in some serious work, like properly going back to school or busting their ass learning (and getting good at) a trade, then their life is kinda fucked.

You can’t just crawl out of almost 20 years of NEETing into really any kind of job, especially without the charisma to at least try masking it.

Also fuck knows why Anon’s parents just let them drop out of school and basically cease to exist outside of playing videogames for best part of two decades. That’s plain bad parenting.
