In the sense that he’s a fascist madman subjecting innocent human beings to tests of his crackpot medical theories.

RFK is just a MAGA Dr. Mengele.

I encourage everyone to engage in literal cyberbullying!

It also gives “content removed” if you tell the AI it’s an abomination.

Tried a similar prompt.

Oh, hey, it’s Pseudotsuga menziesii.

Mostly this is just an issue with the nature of science. There’s fundamentally just a lot we don’t know about what these creatures looked like. Thankfully, in the last 20-30 years, we’ve learned a lot more. We’ve become a lot better at finding evidence of feathers and other surface details. We may have gotten better at estimating the musculature? I’m not really sure what the current state of knowledge is here.

But the key thing to consider is that science, as a project, is incredibly conservative. Science is all about precisely defining your claims and clearly justifying them, ideally via quantitative analysis. The reason old renderings of dinosaurs look like this is that these represent the threshold of the known. They are scientific renders, containing only the details that we can be reasonably certain actually existed on these animals. You can of course go further and fill in missing details with imagination and reasonable speculation, but this will always be more an exercise in art than science, a speculative exercise. Yes, dinosaurs likely didn’t have this “shrink wrapped” appearance. But what their real appearance was is a guessing game. Yes, it’s plausible spinosaurus had big back muscles rather than a fan, but there are likely also other speculative models people could propose. Maybe the spine isn’t a fan, but the base of some giant peacock-type tail? Maybe it wasn’t a fan, but a series of spikes. Maybe it wasn’t one vertical fan, but two horizontal sheets? Who knows?

Science is an inherently conservative exercise. We tend to forget this. Political conservatives hate science because they hate when reality disagrees with their dogma. But while political conservatives call science woke or liberal, the truth is, institutionally, science is conservative. Ideas move slowly. Major paradigm shifts only occur when overwhelming evidence forces them to. Ideas often take decades to slowly percolate through academia, sometimes only changing because the old generation retires or dies of old age.

Scientists as such are, generally, biased against making unfounded claims and speculation. A lot of scientific training focuses on precisely defining your claims, including the precise limits of those claims. And this bleeds over into scientific renderings. From a scientific perspective, it is often better to make a rendering that you know is almost certainly incorrect, rather than make a likely more correct rendering that you cannot support with evidence.

By setting them in fire, cyber trucks are recycled. They return to the Earth from whence they came!

I’m going to respond to your post with a previous post I made in response to right wingers conflating protests of Israel with anti-Antisemitism.

Only a Nazi conflates anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism.

Those on the right, being Nazis, use the Hitlerian definition of anti-Semitism. In this Hitlerian definition, Jews can never actually be full citizens of any other nation besides Israel. Regardless of their personal loyalty or belief, any Jew in the US or Europe is suspect, only a partial citizen, a foreigner at their very core. This is Hitlerian, as it is the very way the historical Nazis viewed Jewish identity.

For modern Nazis, being a Jew and being Israeli are interchangeable. A criticism of the Israeli government is an attack on Jewish people in general. Nazis like the modern Republican Party believe that Jews can never be real Americans, and that they will always have some connection and loyalty to the Israeli state. This is the very logic that justified the Japanese internment camps. If you think every Jewish person must be loyal to Israel, you are literally a Nazi.

To me, the hardest part seems to be - how do you keep your small web from being infected by AI slop? Currently the slop spammers aren’t focusing on these small web rings and web 1.0 communities. But if they did start to become popular, the AI slop would inevitably follow.

Perhaps such sites need to run on a 100% no-advertising model. Individual hobby sites or those supported by subscriptions and donations only. That would cut out most of the vast, vast majority of the slop. AI slop currently can’t produce content that people are actually willing to pay to subscribe to. If sloppers can’t bring in revenue via ad impressions, they won’t have any incentive to create slop AI 1.0 sites.

You’re under-thinking this. Cops don’t help people during medical emergencies. They’re trained to stand there and let people bleed out and die in front of them rather than lifting a finger to help. Also, I’m pretty sure if the mystery gang does get any reward money, Shaggy just smokes it all away.

I do that on my husband. He’s never too amused.

I’m sure there’s a VR headset mod out that allows just this…In both solo and partner modes!

There was a legend I heard of in an engineering office. There was an engineer at this company I worked at, long before I was there. On the first day of work, he created his first file, file 000001. He pulled out a notebook, and wrote the file number and the document title. Later that day, he moved on to file 000002. And so he continued. For many years, one document after another, all in sequential order. No one ever bothered to inquire about his numbering system. He simply sent files off when needed, renaming as necessary. No one ever needed to poke through his work computer. Then, one day, he got laid off in a company downsizing… He simply took the notebook with him, took it home, and burned it.

This is some environmental storytelling right here. I see a story of an electrician, all out of appropriate lengths of wood, working past five on the night before the drywallers show up.

Because people like watching the spinny go spin.

There’s also just no point. What exactly would one hope to accomplish in having a window in their dishwasher? With a microwave, you can monitor food and make sure it’s not boiling over, smoking, exploding, etc. With an oven, you can monitor goods to see if they’re done or not. But a dishwasher? Unlike a cooking device, there’s no harm in leaving dishes in the dishwasher too long. You don’t need to pull them out at just the exact moment they’re fully clean.

Unless you’re one of those weirdos that cooks things in their dishwasher, I can’t see any reason why you would need a window in one.

Crawl up into your attic or wherever the air circulator is installed and find the exact model number of your unit. See if instructions can be found here: https://web.archive.org/web/20160603194940/https://vanee.edenenergy.com/res-air-exchangers-literature.php

If not, I would contact vanEE directly. I had to use the Wayback Machine as the documentation section on their current site is blank.

Thought-terminating cliche.

The United States was literally founded on a capitalist genocide.
