Then why am I here? If someone wants to use AI to fool people they are not going to bother with trying to convince people that the AI is really a person, they are going to do the same thing everyone from morons to billion dollar marketing f

I never use slurs so I guess that makes me an AI? I would have to be since your method is foolproof. Or perhaps I just avoid loaded terms which are taken more on emotion than intelligence. Why are you on a forum you have such a poor opinion

That is my point, it is not intelligent and that is how we identify it. A person is aware of consequences and contexts, AI is not, a person avoiding a word goes about it in a very different way than AI does, you fixate on the word itself an

If AI is truly intelligent I suppose that means it can say the N word and understand the consequences of saying the N word. I would also say that intelligence would also require it understanding context, which contexts any given word is acc

Too quote myself "consistent and well defined use is most important," and I have repeated this sentiment in most if not every post I have made in this thread. My point to the previous comment was that if you were not consistent it

All we can really credit Warhol for in this regard is the term "superstar." The cult of celebrity goes back considerably further and part of what Warhol was doing was commenting on and exploiting the idea of celebrity as an art pr

That paragraph of mine and most of my posts could stand some editing, I am terrible at editing on a screen and my casual use tends to be comma heavy. I think your edits wonderfully highlight an issue I believe I brought up in one of my post

It is easy to conceive of uses, having a consistent style which conveys what you want to most any reader is another thing. If you had wrote all those examples without using the text to explain them the reader would have to stop and think ab

I realized it on my own in an intuitive sense, my writing before I properly learned it shows this use but eventually I read some things on punctuation and fixed my naive use of the em-dash and other punctuation marks. I think "raising

I have a kneejerk aversion to this, the line between a petition and lobbying is rather vague, especially when the petition is signed by CEOs acting as CEOs. But it is kneejerk, we can't just offload everything onto the election process

I gave I look through my books and English is wonderfully ambivalent when it comes to punctuation outside of prescriptive grammars. The descriptive grammars largely (if not completely) ignore punctuation and focus on spoken language, even t

Search engines seem to really fail here, they are just giving me more guides like the one here, I can not get them to give me anything about narrative voice beyond conflations of narrative voice and tone. You can see this use in a great dea

This guide and most guides like it tend to miss the most important and powerful use of the em-dash and make it out like you can use it for anything but really they are just missing the wonderful simplicity of the em-dash and how versatile t

Another thing which comes to mind, you can try enabling or disabling p-states, intel_pstate=enable/disable in the kernel parameters for grub. If memory serves if cpu-freqinfo gives you a list of governors that means pstates are disable

There is only one, it allows you to set an explicit frequency from userspace. The cpufreq-set man will answer all your questions. Not all CPUs support userspace, cpufreq-info will list the available governors.

Use the userspace governor and set the speed too something like 2ghz and see if the problem happens, read the manpage for cpufreq-set if you need help. Edit: you would probably be fine just setting the governor to performance and doing so w

Wouldn't assembly be the winner? Think about all the energy spent compiling, how many millions of times has gcc been compiled just so it can compile tcl millions of times just so it can interpret the same script millions of times?

The accepted term for this would be method, learning by doing which is the opposite of theory but generally provides part of the foundation for learning theory. Learning by method is the way the vast majority learn to play and write music a

I did not say that at all. This programs relation to theory is about the same as the relation between numbers and calc, while numbers are very important to calc you are not learning or using calc by using numbers, there is a hell of a lot m
