That implies he understands tech enough to destroy the drives and not just smash a random display in the office.

You could say that about any given moment of Sam Altman’s life and be equally accurate.

Can you give any examples?

Carbrains have one refrain: economic harm. As if driving any distance longer than a football field is more convenient than a walkable/bikeable city with good public transit for longer hauls.

“Let’s post about using gen AI in a community called ‘fuck AI’!”

For these purposes, men can also be referred to as “boys” /s

It’s the hypocrisy. SW should be legal/decriminalized, but this motherfucker would have preached against fornication while getting a BJ under the pulpit if he thought he’d get away with it.

Took far too long. He got ~70 years more than he should have.

“I was thinking about that phrase ‘free as the air’ and thought ‘what if it wasn’t?’”

That headline doesn’t narrow things down much.

That’s beyond sketchy. That’s like comparing regular unleaded to premium by fueling a Honda civic with regular and a Lamborghini with premium.

That’s fair, I may have been traumatized by spending 3 hours trying to get through the first section in Sekiro before calling it 😅

There’s a second factor at work, which is that the institutions targeted by more “extreme” actions also don’t want those actions publicized.

Consider an action like the one depicted in “How to Blow Up a Pipeline.” If they don’t have a perpetrator in cuffs, the oil company and the cops would not want to admit the action happened at all, because it makes them look vulnerable.

Sekiro? I guess it’s less of a difficulty “spike” if it’s just a difficulty cliff from the jump.

I loved BG3 but there are serious difficulty spikes. I couldn’t make it to the third act because the second act boss kept wiping the floor with me and I couldn’t adjust my party to make the fight winnable.

To clarify, “Stockholm syndrome” was coined in regard to a woman who was held hostage by bank robbers in Sweden. When interviewed later, the woman recounted that neither the police nor the mayor seemed concerned with her safety, so she buddied up with the robbers to maximize her chances of survival.

I’ve been watching Murderbot (Appletv+, lots of fun) and Duster (HBO, also fun.)

Kleo is a lot of fun.

Guarantee this guy pays a statuesque blonde to beat the shit out of him, or wishes he could afford to.

A good friend of mine from high school got his physics PhD at University of Texas and went on to work in the high energy plasma physics lab there with the Texas Petawatt laser, and a lot of the experiments it was used for involved plasma turbulence and determining what path energetic particles would take in a hypothetical fusion reactor.
