So this is an interesting angle. If an individual is open carrying near certain places, like a protest, a permit is required. That means they can ask for that permit, and ask them to pull down thier face covering to verify they match the ID. Now I am sure the feds will say that since they identified themselves as federal agents, they don’t need to. But where is that line. Law enforcement doesn’t feel the need to prove it is law enforcement to us pleebs. But how do they feel about other supposed law enforcement refusing to follow thier orders to provide ID. Could be interesting.

Perhaps you missed how politics works… lol

That and the lawsuit payoff that follows. The nurses union doesn’t mess around.

Well, I am sure there must be some really remote desolate land somewhere that no one had claimed. And of course the native Americans didn’t believe in owning land, so it is a bit fuzzy “technically”. But we all know what happened…

This exactly. Sending cops alone to these calls is like using a hammer on a screw.

Just about everywhere in the US was taken from someone. And almost always a marginalized individual. All the way back to the native americans. It how human be human apparently.

At the same time, this was clearly a mental health issue. Cops just shouldn’t be sent alone to deal with those. They aren’t trained for it, and many aren’t trainable because it wasn’t part of the hiring criteria and they just don’t have the skills. We need an addition group trained for this that can better handle these things. That way no one has to die, and we don’t have to spend tons of taxpayer money because a cop was put in a position he was clearly unqualified for. Probably shouldn’t even have been a cop. But with high demand and low supply, they end up taking lots of people who should never be cops. Maybe this guy could have lead a happy and productive life as a plumber or something.

I imagine this as a system that uses spare renewable energy like solar to generate gas that can be used to smooth the curve that is a renewable power source. It’s real value is that it reduces infrastructure needs, allowing its use in remote environments. But it does add a lot of additional failure points.

Minnesota needs to recall their congresspeople. Like tell them to come home. Then other states need to follow. Refuse to participate.

Only when it is good for “business”

It’s not really a trust thing. They are companies, not people. The top decision makers have a fubuciary responsibility to do whatever makes money. They can, and often do, get sued if they don’t. So you can expect them to sell you out. It’s literally thier purpose for existing.

Actually, if you ask about the non-insurance price, it is often significantly reduced. Places massively overbill, so that the insurance can claim they got you a discount. The real price is often even lower.

But yes, it’s a scam to make you believe you “need” insurance. Most probably only need like catastrophic insurance.

That could be like the new “ok boomer” for them. Lol. Though I did like “weird”

You would think that. But most decent sized companies self insure. That means they figure out how much to hold in savings to cover potential costs. They probably pay someone for that number. The premium is just to pay the insurance company to manage billing. It is basically an administrative fee. That puts them in the position that employers will choose the insurance company that cost them the least, mainly by denying claims. It’s a system designed to extract as much money as possible from the people and pass it on to the largest shareholders (the board of directors).

We need to stop spending time explaining why they are lieing, and just say, “we all know they are lieing”. Their lies don’t even pass the snicker test.

I didn’t need to reach at all. I brought down to several simple examples. You just aren’t willing to open your mind and consider it.
I 100% agree that it confuses and ill informs many adults. That is why I think it is so important that kids be exposed to it, and taught to think critically about what it tells them. It isn’t going to go away. And who kmows, they might learn to apply that same critical thinking to what the talking heads on the internet tell them. But even if not, it would be worth it.

It really doesn’t. Tyr looking it up… Oh wait, you won’t, so here https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/prejudice 1-b nails it, but 1-a covers it to with “individual” and “group”. Which are listed even before race.

It does say 80% still work there. That implies that maybe 20% got the fuck out at some point. Could have been years ago even. So maybe a few decent people might be on the list. Hard to say though. What was that old marine saying. “Something” them all and let “Someone” sort them out?

How about this. I think it is pretty well known that pilots and astronauts are trained on simulations where some of the information they get from “tools” or gauges is wrong. On the surface it is just simulating failures. But the larger purpose is to improve critical thinking. They are trained to take each peice of information into context and if it doesn’t fit, question it. Sound familiar?

AI spits out lots of information with every response. Much of it will be accurate. But sometimes there will be a faulty basis in it that causes one or more parts of the information to be wrong. But the wrongness almost always follows a pattern. In context the information is usually obviously wrong. And if you learn to spot the faulty basis, you can even sus out which information is still good. Or you can just tell it where it went wrong and it often will come back with the correct answer.

Talking to people isn’t all that different. There is a whole sub for confidently wrong on reddit. But spotting when a person is wrong is often harder because the depth of thier faulty basis can be soo much deeper than an AIs. And, they are people, so you pften can’t politely question the accuracy of what they are saying. Or they are just a podcast… I think you get where I am going.

Did you even read the comment I responded to? “Whenever I find out that someone uses any of these LLMs, or Ai chatbots, hell even Alexa or Siri, my respect for them instantly plummets.”

They are litterally judging someone before they even know any details other than that they use any form of AI at all. Could be a cyber security researcher fir all the commenter knows.
