So their punishment to other countries for recognising Palestine is to intensify their Palestinian genocide?

How can anyone see this and not realise that this whole thing was never about Hamas, they were just an excuse to finally get the ball rolling.

Isn't this the same old "ThE eCoNoMy Is DoInG gReAt, WhY aRe YoU cOmPlAiNiNg?" BS as always?

The average person doesn't care how well the rich people's game is going if they're struggling to afford their groceries because of said rich people's game.

The mainstream consoles nowadays basically are locked-down computers anyway, so makes sense that people are skipping the live-services middleman and going straight to PC

Unless you care about exclusives, then PCs are the better all-rounder IMO, and don't need a yearly payment on top of your internet bill

Whelp, we're one step ever closer to terminators. Just gotta let Boston Dynamics cook now

This reads like something a Sovereign citizen would write.

The first amendment allows you to say whatever you want without threat of arrest, but it doesn't give carte blanche to do whatever you want whilst saying it.

If you're on private property after closing time to the public, then you're trespassing, regardless of why you're there.

The threat of arrest is something you have to accept if you're going to protest in a disruptive way - the ones you're protesting against will do anything they legally can to get you to stop.

It always sucks to know you paid more than the seller did - but that just means Oxfam undervalued the book.

Having worked in one, charity shops tend to have a habit of either really undervaluing or overvaluing their donated goods - cause the people who actually set the prices mostly just guess based on looks and nothing more. Only if an item looks expensive will they do any research, and even then never really enough.

Exactly. The big problem with LLMs is that they're so good at mimicking understanding that people forget that they don't actually have understanding of anything beyond language itself.

The thing they excel at, and should be used for, is exactly what you say - a natural language interface between humans and software.

Like in your example, an LLM doesn't know what a cat is, but it knows what words describe a cat based on training data - and for a search engine, that's all you need.

I was a bit of a picky eater when I was younger, but I've become much, much less so over the years - one of the few things I've never come around on is olives. The taste and texture combination just don't work for me

It's such a bad faith comparison to make about trans people.
One's race oftentimes comes with a slew of cultural background, and misappropriation of that isn't cool.

Gender meanwhile is just a societal constrict built of the typical characteristics of the sexes - if you don't line up with the one given to you at birth, then there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to identify with what you do line up with.
