  • FBI Got Grok to Hand Over Prompts Used to Create Nonconsensual Porn

  • I think I like the draft headline better, despite it’s clunkiness.

  • People commenting after only reading the headline and not the article is exactly the behavior I find irritating and distasteful about headline-related complaints.

  • I’m usually against complaints about poor headlines, but this one is completely factually incorrect? The FBI didn’t interact with Grok here literally at all? They issued a search warrant to X to get their logs?

  • Mistranslation Porn

    Jump

  • Usually I roll my eyes pretty heavily at the WhateverPorn names for non-pornographic communities, but I suspect this one’s gonna be accurate more often than not.

  • My understanding is that it’s quite the opposite — a racist with Tourette’s would be less likely to shout a slur because they don’t feel the social stigma as keenly.

  • It’s not a coincidence, as far as I understand. The tics are involuntary, but they are specifically due to intrusive thoughts about what the most inappropriate thing to say right now would be. The blame here mostly lies with institutional racism for making that slur so awful; were it not available, I assume his tic would have focused on another terrible word, say “fuck”.

    Edit: many Black folks I’ve listened to have said that they feel that in the we have defended this disability, we have erased the harm to Black folks they experienced. I hope I have not done that; I feel strongly that the harm the Black community experienced was real, independent of whether that harm was intentional from the speaker.

  • Singing is just talking with more tone variations.

  • If you’re comparing freestyling (assuming it’s fully improvised) is this still the case? What about reciting a memorized poem? (I agree with you, I’m just curious if you know where the boundaries are because I sure don’t)

  • In software the map and the territory are the same thing.

  • Mmm this is a good interpretation. You get radiation poisoning and only die later. If for whatever reason, this item appeared at my table and we needed to adjudicate this, I would totally accept this reading.

  • all is rotten

    Jump

  • I’m not aware of any nonmagical items that require attunement, so I think that point also stands. If you were to use such an item without attunement and it were magic, you would do the bludgeoning damage and not the radiant damage.

  • all is rotten

    Jump

  • I thought death broke attunement, and you had to reattune after being resurrected?

  • all is rotten

    Jump

  • As a boring killjoy D&D rules lawyer, I might point out that this will definitely lead to “them” winning, since you are killed when you attune, and therefore can never deal the 1d8 bludgeoning + 30d12 radiant damage.

  • Will the U.S. confirm that aliens exist before 2027? (27%)

    Jump

  • Given its formulation, I would be inclined towards “yes,” despite the fact that I do not believe the United States government has conclusive evidence of extraterrestrial life. The proposition is only that the White House claims it, and the Trump administration has shown that it is willing to lie to distract from the litany of horrors, and they love to contradict former president Obama.

  • Capricious is my favorite adjective, rather than trying to ascribe mental disorders to global systems. If you’re asking regarding a specific human, you should talk to a psychiatrist — if it is disruptive to their life, it may be a sign of borderline personality disorder.

  • This use of bipolar has very little to do with the experience of most bipolar people. Bipolar rapid cycling is defined as four episodes per year, much closer to the change of the seasons than the change of weather from day to day.

  • In software the map and the territory are the same thing.

    Jump

  • Not so. The code may be the same, but the code is the map, not the territory. The code is not enough to understand the territory, even with mock data, c.f.

    Our staging environment contains data that matches Production as closely as possible, but was not sufficient in this case and the mock data we relied on to simulate what would occur was insufficient.

  • At least 3 major outlets — The New York Times, The Guardian, and Reddit — have blocked the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine from accessing their content

    Jump

  • Ugh. Thanks for the heads’ up — I’ve definitely posted archive links without noticing they’re blocked before. PBS and NPR have really gone downhill with the budget cuts. ProPublica is great, but their coverage is pretty narrow, so there’s a lot of stories they don’t cover at all. It’s getting harder and harder to find a quality source.
