A lot more common in the past, when shared family computers were a thing. You start with good opsec, then gradually start neglecting it.

Relations with indigenous peoples

edit

Phillip’s official orders with regard to Aboriginal people were to “conciliate their affections”, to “live in amity and kindness with them”, and to punish anyone who should “wantonly destroy them, or give them any unnecessary interruption in the exercise of their several occupations”.[72] The first meeting between the colonists and the Eora, Aboriginal people, happened in Botany Bay. When Phillip went ashore, gifts were exchanged, thus Phillip and the officers began their relationship with the Eora through gift-giving, hilarity, and dancing, but also by showing them what their guns could do.[73][39] Anyone found harming or killing Aboriginal people without provocation would be severely punished.[39]

Let’s be fair, the guy was enlightened for his time. Even the kidnappings, looked at it from the greater picture, were understandable. Remember that this was the age of press gangs and nonexistent human rights. He was literally trying to preserve the Aborigines and their society. I don’t know how many people would keep calm and forgive their attackers while being stabbed by a spear.

Closest he gets to touching grass, I suppose.

I think I preferred my own mental image, thanks.

Hey guys, did you know that in terms of male human and female Pokémon breeding, Vaporeon is the most compatible Pokémon for humans? Not only are they in the field egg group, which is mostly comprised of mammals, Vaporeon are an average of 3”03’ tall and 63.9 pounds, this means they’re large enough to be able handle human dicks, and with their impressive Base Stats for HP and access to Acid Armor, you can be rough with one.

Due to their mostly water based biology, there’s no doubt in my mind that an aroused Vaporeon would be incrеdibly wet, so wet that you could easily havе sex with one for hours without getting sore. They can also learn the moves Attract, Baby-Doll Eyes, Captivate, Charm, and Tail Whip, along with not having fur to hide nipples, so it’d be incredibly easy for one to get you in the mood.

With their abilities Water Absorb and Hydration, they can easily recover from fatigue with enough water. No other Pokémon comes close to this level of compatibility. Also, fun fact, if you pull out enough, you can make your Vaporeon turn white. Vaporeon is literally built for human dick. Ungodly defense stat+high HP pool+Acid Armor means it can take cock all day, all shapes and sizes and still come for more

I like how it just devolved from metric vs imperial to imperial vs imperial

I agree with the sentiment, but this is a light hearted joke

Googling this, it’s insane how much twisting and rationalisation Christians do to fit this story into their worldview.

Like https://gutenberg.edu/making-sense-of-jesus-cursing-the-fig-tree/

Summary from Wikipedia: It wasn’t an actual crusade, and may or may not have included actual children. If it did, they either died or got sold into slavery.

Man, the double talk is insane.

I fixed the link hours ago, but apparently it’s not federating to some people.

Even if they backtracked and got rid of the blocklist, I would’t trust them.

Agreed. They’re worse than an unknown party, they’re a known malicious one.

I already linked it at the end of my post. It’s too long to post in a single comment.

That said, I don’t think it’s against any rules if you want to post some text.

Literally. By punching it in the face.

Yes we have more than just that one mechanism at work obviously, but that’s not to say we’re not using the same or similar method as part of our learning process.

You seem to have entirely ignored the gist of my first point. We may be using a more well rounded method which utilises the same technique LLMs use as a part of our overall learning ability.

If all you did was copy and paste from GNU GPL code, then your output would also be bound by the same license.

We’re back to the same argument that’s been around since the start of the current AI boom, about whether or not people produce art and everything else the same way. At this point it’s very obviously a philosophical argument in general, and from your other comments in this post you’ve offered nothing but semantics as to how they’re different. We’re going to have to agree to disagree there.

Then you don’t understand even the basics of the mathematics that makes them actually work.

I understand how LLMs work. We DON’T understand how humans work, and unless you’ve got a human theory of mind in your back pocket, insisting that they’re inherently different instead of possibly being part of our mental toolkit is premature.

Training a neural network algorithm is not equivalent to human learning

That’s a stretch, since we don’t know exactly how human learning works. Yes we have more than just that one mechanism at work obviously, but that’s not to say we’re not using the same or similar method as part of our learning process.

original training data can be reproduced completely from models

So can a few savants, more if you take into account those with special training, etc. The ability to do so is obviously latent to our brain.

When they reproduce code which they have previously stored, even only in part, that is a derivative work.

I don’t know about you, but I for one have not produced anything ‘original’ my entire coding career by that metric. I feel confident in saying the vast majority of programmers have not either.

Don’t mistake me, I’m well aware LLMs are not intelligent. But I disagree with the idea that their method of learning and their actions is inherently different from what the average person does.

Given that you’ve presumably looked at open source code in the past, and got more proficient (however marginally) as a result, does all your future code now belong to the GPL?

I’d also say that an independent small business is often much closer to a person than an organization.

Well THAT’S a slippery slope. I’m not even going to bother asking for the demarcation line there between small businesses and not-small businesses.

Your line honestly makes no sense. Comments about something are OK, but not posts? That’s a really arbitrary separation.

Honestly I’m not a fan of any sort of discrimination, whether positive or negative. So yeah, not seeing the issue.

There is a difference between calling someone out and using an online platform to organize against them.

What’s the difference as you see it? And where do you draw the line on organising using online platforms, then? Let me note my example isn’t against a person, but an organisation.

Putting aside the ridiculousness of calling you an asshole for not being familiar with internal US bullshit, that is a fair scenario. If a shop has a ‘discounts for straights’ sign in their window, why is it not ok to call them out?

Is it vigilante justice if there is no question of misidentification? What about a shop that has a homophobic sign in the window?

Since the other comment got deleted — For anybody else confused, this was a US-specific bullshit where ‘nuclear family’ got used as a dogwhistle for homophobia.

I know you’re intentionally missing the point to be an asshole but in explaining for anyone who legitimately missed it was June and and a concerted effort to declare it a straight pride month.

Imagine anybody not being in the US and not knowing the details of whatever bullshit of the day, automatically being an asshole.

You ever stop to consider that perhaps you’re the one having issues communicating with everybody else?

It’s not going to go anywhere in my country, unfortunately. Not even a blip on the radar.
