Keeping in mind that I’m just giving personal opinions, I found Discovery to be too… over acted? Maybe that was just how it was written but the end result, for me, was that I was constantly rolling my eyes while watching.

Picard seemed okay but in the end I didn’t like the obvious appeals to nostalgia, for me it felt like it leaned too heavily on it instead of trying to stand on its own as a good show.

I have no idea if my experiences align with the broader community or not, but I found myself forcing myself to watch each respective show so I didn’t bother watching when a new season came out.

Please don’t take my comment as anything but me sharing my experiences with someone else who is a fan of the franchise.

SNW I’m totally on board for, though. And I was hesitant about Lower Decks at first but it’s really a good show, imo. It’s so good that it has me questioning my decision to ignore The Orville for being too silly.

I’m pretty sure Tasker can make non-dismissible notifications.

Though, if a notification will actually stop you from drunk dialing, you could always change your wallpaper to something like “Don’t drunk dial”.

I have a weak and high level grasp of how LLMs work, but what you say in this comment doesn’t seem correct. No one is really sure why LLMs sometimes make things up, and a corollary of that is that no one knows how difficult (up to impossible) it might be to fix it.

with easily accessible technology people don’t retain the skills that are supplemented by that technology.

Isn’t this the point of technology?

We don’t even know how they arrive at the output they arrive at, and it takes lengthy research just to find out how, say, an LLM picks the next word in an arbitrarily chosen sentence fragment. And that’s for the simpler models! (Like GPT-2)

That’s pretty crazy when you think about it.

So, I don’t think it’s fair to suggest they’re just “a new type of app”. I’m not sure what “revolutionary” really means but the technology behind the generative AI is certainly going to be applied elsewhere.

It’s anecdotal but I have found that the people who are “skeptical” (to use your word) about generative AI often turn out to be financially dependent on something that generative AI can do.

That it to say, they’re worried it will replace them at their job and so they very much want it to fail.

You should back those things up with more than “because I said so” is what you should do.

I appreciate what you mean but the idea that human rights aren’t granted is just a philosophy, not something that actually matches reality.

That is to say, whether I agree with your premise or not doesn’t change reality at all.

Wait… our national parks are the example you came up with?

What about our system do you think qualifies at “working”?

That’s probably a typo, read the title.

And speaking of this weak ass defense you’ve got going, let’s take it one step higher. Do you think developing countries should use America as the shining example of what to be? Surely there are better countries in the world to strive to emulate than America.

Double check the OPs question.

The whole country is impacted when rights are stripped from anyone. Look at what you’re saying: If some people are living a good life then it can’t be all that bad. Well, Elon Musk is living a pretty swell life so it doesn’t matter how many homeless people die in the street from hunger tonight, right? I know it’s kind of jumping the shark, but your rationale would call America “not that bad” if slavery were still allowed nationally but forbidden, in some states, right?

We should be judged by what those that have allow to happen to those that have not. Take a step back and look at the bigger picture.

Dude you’re not going to get through this with shitty wordplay. They did in fact lose a US constitutional right. This isn’t a debatable statement, it is a fact.

What is your end game here?

It is true that 50% of the population lost this constitutional right.

Dude take 30 seconds and google it. Yes some of these places don’t have exceptions for rape and incest.

Look at you being the *chef’s kiss* perfect example of what I’m talking about. Why should anyone take your word on how great or not great America is when you’re this misinformed.

I mean, case in point: someone replied to my comment apparently not knowing abortion is banned in places in America. I don’t even understand how that’s possible it was everywhere on the news for months.

Do you really need me to Google this for you?

Stricter than a complete ban?

You skipped over the whole 50% of the population lost the constitutional right to control their own body.

You skipped over a lot of stuff.

America is pretty bad, and we’ll never get better if everyone keeps insisting we’re not that bad.

It’s a law specific to Georgia. An article about it here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/08/15/fulton-county-jurors-names-public-threats-trump/
