Saying OpenAI did nothing is strange, since this was a research project run by OpenAI.

We should be executed.

Which other offering has a better cost to value ratio? Very much approve of being precise about cost vs price, btw; using the right language aids understanding.

Stop listening to dumb podcasters

Shut up and hand me that cga monitor so I can play Elite Plus

Thankyou, this whole thing is fascinating.

Maybe Kash Patel didn’t get enough humiliation before Congress and had to move to a different kink in another comms medium…

Did you see how everyone looked at Sisko, and how he talked about it afterwards with Dax like “Holy shit, I went too far, didn’t I old man?” “Yes, you did, and you’re lucky you got away with that shit, Benjamin.”

The show highlighted the problem, and that it was not the right thing to do, and how Sisko needed to be aware of that going forward.

Take a look at the first appearance of the Bajorans, as opposed to how they were presented later on. That is one example. There are also a few “oppressed populations choose violence” stories in the early seasons where that is considered simply wrong, as opposed to some in later seasons where it is treated with nuance.

It’s not a one to one, but it is indeed interesting to watch, as OP said.

Just want to say to both of you that this type of discussion about Star Trek is the best and it’s why I love the show.

You both make such great points, and exemplify for me why sitting around in the conference room talking about a tense situation was so important in old Trek. Different viewpoints can both be important enough to be presented in the discussion.

What, lube? We have lube.

What the fuck country uses that socket?

In this case it’s a leftist. Progressive probably still applies. The “centre-left but still in favour of neoliberal economics” parties aren’t good enough any more, we need actual market controls, outright war on corporations/oligarchs and to establish solid socialist institutions to provide a good life instead of throwing people to the market wolves.

Which thread?

Someone else who didn’t do politics: Werner Von Braun. Slaves, death camps, American military funding, it was all the same to him as long as the rockets went up.

Ed Sheeran can get fucked, and so can you.

Speaking as a 47 year old former lib: The propaganda worked quite well on me until recently, like ten or so years ago.

If you do not look into it and educate yourself on the reality, it is easy to believe the idea that Israel is allowed to “defend itself” because, after the Holocaust, the Jews got together and decided not to take any more shit. The idea is that they occupied an empty desert in Palestine, called it Israel, and got attacked from all sides by the surrounding Arab states and would happily stop shooting if the Arabs stopped attacking them.

The second layer of propaganda says that it’s not that simple, that Israel kills more in response to these attacks than they should, but it’s still a complex situation and we westerners shouldn’t meddle with it because we are ignorant.

The truth finished landing on me around Oct 7, since I’d spent years at that point listening to actual Palestinian people, studying history, etc and knew that Israel was a brutal colonial project of apartheid that was becoming a proper theocracy, but was momentarily fooled by the false reports of brutality by Hamas fighters.

The first hospital bombing ended all sympathy for Israel.

A true trash goblin.

I wish they did, mate.

Ha! Ironic.
