Thank you. Papers, Please isn’t the ending we need to run to. They can’t treat us like criminals cause they feel like it

“Fascism always works out for the rich! Just look at all the wealth that survived the nazis in Switzerland!” - them

Maybe we shouldn’t let the gambling addicts run the country, they make really stupid, short-sighted decisions

Spoiler: T’weren’t

She’s not saying “don’t react”, she’s saying “this is the only explanation for this behavior”.

She’s not saying “don’t give the bully ammo”, she’s saying “this is bullying behavior”

Please read articles and not just headlines

Yes. Next question

So, have you heard the “don’t comply in advance” slogan? That means a lot of things, but this is an important facet of it. Don’t cede ground you haven’t lost yet. The fascists need to fight and win that battle before we give it to them, even in our minds. They’re going to ratfuck, but we must fight it at every turn. And celebrate every hindrance to their victory. This is a win, and you win the war by winning these little battles, over and over again.

“If you can’t see his feet, it looks like the car hit him” - their logic

Yeah, people hit by cars famously keep their footing and are stable enough to accurately discharge a firearm. Meanwhile, he shouldn’t be walking in front of the car, full stop. So yeah, it’s damning but only against his case.

Russia’s authoritarian playbook (which the current GOP administration is using) isn’t about lying in an articulate way. It’s about flooding the zone with excuses and lies such that the average person will choose to tune it out rather than to engage.

Dyscalculia is the word you’re looking for

No, it’s a Dunkleosteus.

Coelacanth looks like this:

I… swore it was the other way round. Either way, their metaphor isn’t the same as the actual situation because most who don’t like AI hate it on a moral ground (wasteful, egregious) rather than on a pure aesthetic one.

I like the metaphor where you deny someone’s dietary/moral choices, essentially made them party to a grave sin in their eyes, rob them of their ability to consent, and then laugh at them when they’re upset about it. It’s really fucking telling.

Why is this local, low-level news story being pushed at a national level?

Someone put razor blades in bread and was caught before anyone was hurt. Cool, why is this news?

Yeah, most planets have the same rotation direction as orbital direction (counter-clockwise rotation, counter-clockwise orbit) but Venus rotates clockwise.

Heracles or Hercules is a Greek tragic character who at one point murders his wife and child when in a rage. Thinking Disney’s Hercules is an accurate portrayal is where they messed up in describing their character, and both the DM and history buff know it, but the DM won’t let them ruin the surprise.

They’ve changed their name since. Now they’re the Chicago Cubs

That’s a single clip (the only clip) and then additional clips about said clip.

If he shocks his dog to get her to obey, there wouldn’t be one clip of it, there would be dozens. The dude streams 48-56 hours a week and this is the only time? How would that be possible? It doesn’t pass the sniff test.

He’s had dozens of people come to stream with him. Someone would’ve said something by now, but it’s only crickets.

These are armchair detectives spurred on by Hasan’s rivals and nothing I’ve seen suggests otherwise.

No. There’s one clip of his dog probably pinching her nail on her bed and yelping and the internet took that as proof of abuse. The collar she wears vibrates, not shocks.

I’m confused. I read the article which seems to pretty clearly lay out what the researchers did and it was “we laid breadcrumbs out for the agent that it was going to be replaced, who was replacing them, gave them compromising material on who was replacing them, implied that the agent wouldn’t be able to reach out to anyone but that person to stop it, and then the agent chose to blackmail the individual”. It doesn’t seem like the agent was prompted to choose blackmail. The list that was shown was the agent “talking” to itself, as it “reasoned” through the problem, a common design tactic for agentic models to increase transparency and make its behavior more consistent (it tends to make shit up less if it is forced to explain what it’s doing).
