  • MURRR-DA-RAH

  • i don't have any reason to believe it, given the track record.

    also, the second half of the problem is of course the information that comes back, what it is based on, and what affects that base.

  • yeah but then we're no longer discussing the topic the thread is about.

  • it's still not fine, as per my first point. it's leaking information to foreign interests.

  • i'd say it's still bad because this is the leader of a government consulting with a stochastic parrot instead of experts.

  • of course you can. why would a career politician who has very visibly been interested only in politics since his teens know how to do that?

  • here's my kneejerk reaction: my prime minister is basing his decisions partly on the messages of an unknown foreign actor, and sending information about state internals to that unknown foreign actor.

    whether it's ai or not is a later issue.

  • there absolutely is something wrong with sending the basis for decisions in matters of state to a foreign actor, though.

  • oh i fully agree and understand the perspective. i also agree with the point feynman was making in the quote (otherwise i wouldn't have brought it up obviously) and i think he may have been misrepresented a bit in that most of his quotable and memorable stuff (as printed in books about him) is of the more... i-am-so-smart kind.

    if you have about three hours oh geez to spare, i recommend angela collier's video on the books about him.

  • after reading a bunch of the books about him, i started noticing a pattern; he needs a butt to every joke. like, in isolation this quote is good but when you look at how he talked about people in general you realise that he always has to belittle someone to make his point. the artist friend is "nutty" because he has a difference of opinion, and richard can of course appreciate the beauty same as him, you don't need a degree for that. and he does that constantly. it rubs me the wrong way.

    same with his propensity for rule-breaking, he did it even though nobody but him thought he was entertaining. he was asked repeatedly to stop and he didn't. he pissed people off who were just doing their jobs.

  • oof, that's a lot more fart-huffing than i remember it.

  • bears and unbears

  • what's that feynman quote about science making things more beautiful?

  • lot of religion in these lately

  • it's world news. so... war.

  • no. a lot of people around me do but i have never really been able to anthropomorphise like that. what's it like?

  • historically: gmod. recently: oxygen not included.

  • you sure it was youtube? because that's literally a porno. same energy as "this isn't a beach, this is a bathtub!"
