This is sexist. I know at least two women who’d follow a mysterious voice, baggies and tongs in hand, hoping for more taxidermy material.

I’m not scared of getting pregnant, breaking a bone or being gay, if that’s what you mean. Racism is… slightly better than the US.

You can visit and stay, though. Like my drug dealer.

Depends on where you go and what you do. Foreign investment is a problem in the big cities, small towns saw a surge in prices when everyone left the office for lower costs of living, but they’ve stabilized. It’s not good, not horrible.

Oh, I know this one. A country’s democracy suffers manipulation by international interests, paving the way for fascism that ravages their way of life. It’s called The Rest of the World and you’re not the first one to do it.

Read up and take notes if you want to navigate these waters, they’ve already been charted.

Speaking as a Canadian, if you feel like your personal safety and bodily autonomy is threatened in a way that can be improved by moving here, you are welcome. It’s called the Charter of RIGHTS and Freedoms. We absolutely have rights.

It wasn’t a good reason not to vote for her, but unfortunately is one of the reasons some people didn’t vote. She should have never gone negative and stuck to positive messaging about how they had real plans to help real people.

I don’t understand why you people only kill your good presidents.

Best of luck, mates.

Hey.

This is what makes Arrival so good. They don’t want the best person for the job because she insists on being involved, they give the aliens nicknames immediately and everything goes to shit at the first excuse to start a war.

I’d like to get into how both me and OP are talking about how fast AI, not just LLMs, is scaling, and the potential it has across a variety of industries - most concerning to me is it’s use by investment firms. But I need to go to the barber because I already have enough split hairs.

I do. I did get a little lost in the weeds with my point though, as I was talking in a more general sense about how AI is already powerful and dangerous - because AI safety is a subject in this thread.

That there are AI art generators that use licensed art and/or public domain and open licence images. People so deep in the “AI art is theft” shtick they don’t even wanna hear it.

What we see in AI as an average consumer is like the RC hotwheels to a state of the art tank being used by big corps.

Just imagine that if an early LLM can fool an engineer into thinking it’s sentient, what a state of the art system can do, one designed to predict the market, run propaganda bots on social media or straight up manufacture news stories with the footage to back it up.

The AI being used by big corporations is so advanced, it’s one of the reasons countries have been trying to digitally isolate themselves. It’s really not an if, it’s a when.

That immigrant is fucking up the economy by not paying taxes, affecting infrastructure policy and deteriorating American values.

The treatment gauntlet is brutal. I’ve done illegal drugs before, but now I just microdose mushrooms in addition to my prescribed stims, which were legal the last place I lived, where my psyche knew about and okay’d it, but not here. They wanted me to come to the hospital daily to get my meds and take weekly piss tests. I average about one alcoholic drink a week, so it’s fucking ridiculous knowing people who get wasted three times a week who have no problems getting meds.

It’s hard to get help because medical doctors are just people who won the birth lottery for financial stability and they’re skilled at rote memorization. They don’t have to be smart or better than average at their jobs.

Ah, paranoid parent makes more sense. I don’t live in the states so I assume everything is child-arresting, cousin-soaking bonkers there.
