Are you serious? We can't make headers bold or use bullet points anymore without people like you instantly calling it AI slop?

Google is engaging in immoral business practices. Since they are immoral, it is morally justified to say they must be stopped. > how would you feel if you were on the receiving end of such a dictum? I continue to be astounded how people

Not only have there been multiple civil wars, there has also been “no more crown” after the beheading of King Charles I (1649) until the restoration in 1660.

> enemies who wish to destroy both our societies. How can you say this, out loud , and not immediately hear yourself as the villain? This is such a cartoonishly deluded and paranoid belief, it truly boggles the mind.

I suppose it's a matter of perspective which one you find worse: getting flamed for trying to contribute, or just having your contributions erased.

I would consider a world in which loonies have a couple insignificant seats in parliament to be a more democratic system than one that shuts them out.

And for a long time MediaWiki didn't have a proper parser for that markup, just a bunch of regexes that would transform it into HTML. I don't know if they have a proper parser now, but for reasons of backwards compatibility it mus

You're making assumptions on what the OP should optimize for. You're probably equating “better job” with “higher pay”. For all you know they could be optimizing for happiness and happen to be someone who totally enjoys floor clean

I have not really seen ChatGPT learn who I “am”, what I “like” etc. With memories enabled it seems to mostly remember random one-off things from one chat that are definitely irrelevant for all future chats. I much prefer writing a system pr

Why do you continue to ask for examples if you're just going to downplay them or explain them away like you did here?

You may think you're making some kind of point by repeatedly asking for examples of vitriol on SO, but all it shows is that you haven't looked, or haven't sincerely reflected on what you saw from the perspective of a regular
