If you’re into that kind of speculation, you might enjoy “The Cosmic Serpent” by Jeremy Nearby.

There’s a lot to unpack there bud. You don’t sound okay. None of that was in the comic, you brought all that baggage.

What are you talking about? The pink one has a line of scary warning symbols including a skull and crossbones just under the word humectant.

We could use something like the international fixed calendar and just make the new year’s day and leap days a day of the week so that the calendar shifts by a day or two every year.

That Wikipedia article is surprisingly silent on Norris’ support of Trump.

Fair use is not disrespectful, it’s not illegal, it’s not worsening the climate crisis like your local models.

I’m gonna guess that it’s durian ice cream.

That’s basically what these do. What’s the difficulty?

They should be equally acceptable without needing to be sexualized. But even if you like seeing tits, the best way to see other’s is to not be weird, dehumanizing, or non-consenting about it. That’s like the 1 rule of etiquette anyway, try within reason to not make other people uncomfortable.

Sand Hills aren’t very afraid of humans anyway.

Yes, that is the vulnerability that you are exploiting and making worse for an entire family of cranes.

I’ve seen this story before. It usually ends in tragedy for the cranes. You’ve likely already seen the results with the loss of their chick. You blame it on a wild animal without proof, but it’s just as likely that the reduction of their fear response to humans (as a direct result of your “kindness”) led to their death.

While I envy your ability to get close to wildlife, loosing their fear of humans is really very dangerous for Sand Hill Cranes especially.

We all wear a mask.

I got my first Gmail address through an invite during the beta release in late 2004.

The only free society we will get is an anarchist one where people agree to work together and create rules that they can all abide by. Those who don’t want to abide by the communities rules can leave.

That’s not anarchy. That’s some form of democracy.

Any top-down system of governance will never be free by its very nature.

That’s exactly the kind of logic bullies use to inflict their freedom on others.

Society only works by consent. If the people do not consent to the laws, they are authoritarian and should be resisted.

Real “I’m 14 and this is deep” energy here. Laws and governance of any kind are inherently rooted in consent to authority. Hell, even being a good citizen in an anarchy is about consenting to the authority of etiquette, basically the tyranny of empathy over free will. Authority invites resistance, arguing for resistance to authority simply because it exists is an empty nothing burger of a philosophy.

This all feels like a libertarian dog whistle to excuse politics lacking any empathy.

Does it really matter what the machines “think” if they steal water and other resources from poor and vulnerable communities on a scale that makes Nestlé jealous?

I see the irony is lost on you.

That’s like picking fights with strangers to manage your anger.

That also sounds a lot like the kind of comments that Reddit (and Lemmy, and really any social network with votes) grooms for if you prefer up votes to arguing with pedants and trolls. Eventually all your left with are boring overqualified comments or inflammatory comments when the mob rules and you are striving/solving for the most popular/engaging answer. It’s like conversational least squares analysis.

I wonder where the LLM trolls are? Maybe they are just so subtle, we haven’t noticed them. Maybe LLMs aren’t hallucinating answers, so much as they and trolling us. And here is where I qualify my answer in an attempt to quell the fools that might think anything I’ve said here implies that LLMs are anything close to sapient.
