this is not language mate, it's pr. if you don't understand the difference between rich being used to mean plentiful and intelligence being used to mean glorified autocorrect that doesn't even know what it's saying that's a problem with your understanding of language.

also my problem isn't about doing math. doing math is a skill, it's not intelligence. if you don't teach someone about math they're most likely not going to invent the whole concept from scratch no matter how intelligent they may be. my problem is that it can't analyze and solve problems. this is not a skill, it's basic intelligence you find in most animals.

also it doesn't even deal with meaning, and doesn't even know what it says means, and doesn't even know whether it knows something or not, and it's called a "language model". the whole thing is a joke.

people not knowing shit about tech is not their fault. I've been using tech for 30+ years, and I'm usually the most tech savvy person in my circle of family and friends, except for a friend in IT.

the reason I'm not getting into Linux is no longer gaming, it's that whenever i see some fuckers talking about Linux it's completely indecipherable with proper names, commands, and jargon. it's straight up technobabble, and when it's not insufferable elitism it's certainly disinviting.

you think people are going to listen to a bunch of nerds talking about distros and shit, using 40 different acronyms within two sentences, and think "ah this is my new home" ... like do you fucking hear yourselves at all‽ you sound exactly like a character from the hackers, and not in a good way.

if anything is preventing people from switching it's Linux users, and probably developers as well. if you make it look like people have to have a degree to get into your shit, they're not gonna do it.

we should stop giving a shit what billionaires say. if they have anything important to say they should save it for the inevitable guillotines as their last defense.

it's still sexual harassment if not assault and what happened to Lewinsky at the time is a national disgrace. the republicans were faking outrage but on the other side there was none, and that's shameful too.

is that what it is? i was hoping for early rainbow six style planning and execution before Ubisoft fucked that series too

cake day is a colloquial term that means birthday. it's not invented by or for reddit. also being reminded of reddit isn't something to avoid; you can survive. it's just a website. be normal.

so the quarterpounder would have been banned regardless of harassment

big gretch! she's so cool. looks like she could command a battlestar.

"they say racist things and i like that because people don't like it when i say it. this way i can be racist but outsource the messaging"

good for other kinds of bigotry and douchebaggery

the vetting process can indeed be very difficult

ikr as if scamming isn't his favorite pastime

it's someone who identifies as a woman.

if you meet someone who says their name is Jack, do you ask for government issue identification? no, them telling you is enough, because that's all you need for social interaction.

same with gender. you don't need to check their genitals. if it looks like they're presenting as a woman, they're most likely a woman.

in fact this is what you do on a daily basis. if you see a woman across the street wearing something ridiculous and turn to your friend and say "look at that woman over there" it's not because you confirmed whether she has a vagina or not, but because she's presenting as a woman. social cues, not biological.

and if you make the wrong assumption when talking to or about someone and they correct you, and you say sorry and refer to them as a woman going forward. really not a problem in real life. just chodes who never have contact with actual women because they're disgusting creepy weirdos.
