You have to add your own supply of semen.

I thought they were referring to the restaurant branded food you can buy from the supermarket snd make at home. Like these two chain restaurant items that I have purchased and consumed.

We shouldn’t be satisfied until high level execs and Musk, all of whom profit from Tesla’s sales, are jailed for fraud related to the scam sales in Canada.

Just due to texture alone, shrimp and other crustacean shells are a hard pass for me.
- Comment on Leading AI models fail new test of artificial general intelligence 2 days ago:
Yeah, people are frequently terrible at understanding context so it shouldn’t be surprising that a computer has difficulty too.
There are actually a lot of specialized applications of neural network based computing being used for science, but they don’t get the flashy headlines because they are a tool. Those projects use it to find things to focus on narrowing down what people should look into first for confirmation, like ancient settlement patterns, stars that might have planets, and other things where patterns exist but are hard to see.
Some examples are listed here at a high level. In all cases the ai leads to humans confirming and then working from there, it isn’t the end result on its own. medium.com/…/uncovering-the-past-how-ai-is-transf…

It is hard because they chose to make it hard by trying to do far too many things at the same time and sell it as a complete product.
- Comment on Leading AI models fail new test of artificial general intelligence 2 days ago:
Yes, the tradeoff between constrained randomization and accurately vomiting back the information it was fed is going to be difficult as long as it it designed to be ingeracted with as if it was a human who can know the difference.
It could be handled by having clearly defined ways of conveying whether the user wants factual or randomized output, but that would shatter the veneer of being intelligent.
- Comment on Leading AI models fail new test of artificial general intelligence 2 days ago:
This is because AI is not aware of context due to not being intelligent.
What is called creative is really just randomization within the constraints of the design. That reduces accuracy, because of the randomization. If the ‘creativity’ is reduced, it becomes more accurate because it is no longer adding changes.
Using words like creativity, self sabotage, hallucinations, etc. all make it seem like AI is far more advanced than it actually is.
- Comment on Why do some say they own or have bought something that they technically haven't (e.g. domain names, expensive things, etc.)? 2 days ago:
Paying taxes is different than paying to own. It is one way that money is collected to pay for common needs like roads, parks, and schools and is more consistent than income or other taxation because we know how much land exists.
I guess a dollar amount could just be expected from every single person regardless of circumstance. Would that be better?

Needing to pay for gas doesn’t mean you don’t own your car.
The government taking things away under certain circumstances doesn’t mean you don’t own the things.

- Comment on With the current state of the news, April's fools aren't fun anymore because they can't be distinguished as easily as before 2 days ago:
I chuckled at “Trump wants to annex Wisconsin” because it is just plausible enough that he would say something like that.

The pointing an laughing at one or a few people is always assholish. A good prank involves everyone laughing together, and if it is targetted at anyone in particular they have to be comfortable with being the target.
Jokes that are aimed at a widespread audience get a pass because there will always be someone who doesn’t like something or feels foolish when they feel tricked no matter how lighthearted the joke is. So a game company announcing something ridiculous for their game needs some leeway when someone takes it personally when they fall for an announcement that Fortnite is removing dances or there would be no room for humor.
Widespread ones can still be mean spirited of course, but tricking people isn’t what makes it so.

It is not technically entrapment because they aren’t police, but they are cosplaying as cops so the label gets the point across.

What we see in this article appears to abandon that sort of rigor to manufacture more opportunities to confront someone.
Aka entrapment.

Yup, now that they are so widespread and reliable putting a cheap motor and wiring it up is most likely cheaper than designing a mechanical connection for specific models.

That is a significant portion of their voter base, who they are actuvely screing over.
They only care about people who can help them get more money, they aren’t giving theirs away.
