As someone who's lived in both states (which both hold a special place in my heart), here's my 2¢. While ∆9-Tetrahydrocannabinol remains illegal in Texas, almost all other cannabinoids have functionally been recreationally legal i

They're angry because the LLM decreases the expected value of a leisure hobby they've invested a lot of time into. Yes, I get it, writing can be good as an art form and art is special and should be cherished. Also, for what it&#x2

The argument that schooling is signalling wasn't as true in the past as it is now. In the past (think mid-20th century USA), everyone did not have ubiquitous, instantaneous, essentially-free, 24/7 access to more or less all huma

Interesting, I'd never heard of this. Anecdotally, I happen to be an American who's very understanding of Russia's response to the the Euromaidan protests in 2014, in which the CIA more or less staged a Jan 6th in Ukraine to

Is calling him Tim Apple some sort of inside joke I'm out of the loop on? We don't call Elon "Elon Tesla" or Satya "Satya Microsoft".

New insult unlocked: indirectly suggest my debate partner's arguments are so simplistic and low-quality that they must be generated by an LLM, which I attempt to exploit with a simple jailbreak. Love it. Stealing this. Thank you.

Far too technical for the target audience, who has never heard of a "linux" and doesn't care about cost, software freedom, the petite tyranny happily imposed by corporations, etc, they just want it to "just work" on

Transportation from point A to point B isn't the only function of most cars on the road these days. Relevant to central Texas in the summmer: 115° bike rides do not sound fun.
