  • As of mid sept, polls show 41% of them do. Not a majority but far too much when it’s genocide and ethnic cleansing we are talking about.

    If 2/5ths of your population want to keep indiscriminately killing innocent men, women and children, it’s up to the other 3/5ths to tell them to sit down and teach them why they suck. It’s not up to the rest of the world to go “we’ll it’s not a majority, I guess as long as only 40% of them are drooling at the thought of dead children, a boycott would be unfair.”






  • I would say the person doing the crime himself is to blame for his own death. I think there’s a difference between an accomplice and an innocent dying.

    But its a fine line, I agree, and also depends on other variables. If I start applying it to other examples:

    If you are trespassing in a train tunnel doing graffiti, the train comes and you get out but your buddy gets hit, is it murder? I’d say not really.

    If you’re racing and your buddy hits a tree, it’s not really murder either yet he wouldn’t of been racing alone. It’s a two player sport so I’d tend to say guilty.

    Would your buddy have stayed home instead of robbing the store if you weren’t there to help him, it’s hard to say but I’d tend to go not guilty.

    It also seems a bit vindictive but like I said, I understand the sentiment.




  • I usually keep abreast of the scene so I’ll give a lot of stuff a try. Entertainment wise, making music and images or playing dnd with it is fun but the novelty tends to wear off. Image gen can be useful for personal projects.

    Work wise, I mostly use it to do deep dives into things like datasheets and libraries, or doing the boring coding bits. I verify the info and use it in conjunction with regular research but it makes things a lot easier.

    Oh, also tts is fun. The actor who played Dumbledore reads me the news and Emma Watson tells me what exercise is next during my workout, although some might frown on using their voices without consent.


  • “Giuliani explained that he fantasized about Wendy Rhoades in the popular television show ‘Billions,’ stating, ‘She wears all that black shit, she’s got a whip and an electric prod,’” Kelton recited from Dunphy’s complaint. “Ms. Dunphy made it clear that she was not interested, and immediately changed the subject, commenting on the mosquitoes outside.”

    As Kelton read, Giuliani sat with his head in his hands and his eyes closed.

    “Okay, I’m going to leave that in,” Moyne ruled, prompting Giuliani to sink back in his chair.

    That article was genuinely a laugh. I hope we get more updates like this, this is just great.





  • These important limitations highlight why it’s still important to have humans involved in the analysis process here. The NYT notes that, after querying its LLMs to help identify “topics of interest” and “recurring themes,” its reporters “then manually reviewed each passage and used our own judgment to determine the meaning and relevance of each clip… Every quote and video clip from the meetings in this article was checked against the original recording to ensure it was accurate, correctly represented the speaker’s meaning and fairly represented the context in which it was said.”

    It’s literally the paragraph right after.

    They verify it.
