That would depend on the LLM and the data used to train it.

They believe he won the “election” in that he should have been awarded the most electoral college delegates. They might argue that the electoral college voting of 2020 was invalid, but you can’t retroactively change the result.

Like, if Trump claimed to have called Shotgun first, but Biden actually called it first and then Biden got to ride in the front seat. On the ride back, you couldn’t say Trump can’t call shotgun because he rode in the front seat.

Trump wasn’t president, because he didn’t win. He still claims he should have won, but that’s both a lie and irrelevant to the Constitution. He could also claim to have been born in Ethiopia to foreign parents, which would also disqualify him from being President, but that would also be untrue and irrelevant.

He did incite and support a terrorist attack and attempted insurrection, which should disqualify Trump from holding any office, but we don’t have a functioning justice system.

From the generation that made up ten derogatory terms for every race, gender, sexual preference, culture, nationality, and disability.

You also don’t know what you’re getting from Amazon. A lot of vendors will ship you new old stock from the back of some forgotten warehouse, or found in the corner of an auctioned shipping container that’s been to Indonesia and back a few times. That’s fine for a pair of pliers, but that bag of a flavor of M&Ms they discontinued in the 90s that you can only find on Amazon? Roll a D20 and add constitution.

Bossman literally telling employees to “smile more.”

You know, I hadn’t considered that. You’re immortal and so is everyone else. Do you even bother trying to enforce laws? Anyone put in jail is going to wake up back in their own bed. Anyone in jail is going to do whatever they can to escape. I suppose the guards aren’t going to show up for work. In fact, nobody is going to go do their jobs. Why would you choose to slog it out when you could do anything? Power companies will go dark, and public transit will disappear. Telecoms would stop working and anything that isn’t automated will just go away.

I suppose the early morning hours would be a mad dash for resources and weapons. Anyone unfortunate enough to sleep in that day would wake up to a world gripped in chaos every single day. Late nights would be either a wild party or extremely lonely.

But with the reset, things wouldn’t fall into disrepair. People who want to restore power and communications go just go and turn those back on. Money would be meaningless, so it would just be civic pride and boredom that brings the world back from chaos.

Sex wouldn’t mean much. Anyone giving birth that day would probably get weird. Anyone suffering from terminal illnesses would probably secure some great drugs and numb the pain as much as possible.

We would create a lot of performance art. Music, plays, creative storytelling, everyone would have time to create and consume.

Physical art would be almost nonexistent. You couldn’t work on a painting or statue, and anything you create would be gone by the next day.

If everyone is experiencing it, then everyone is going to change their behavior every day and the only thing that will be the same is the weather. There will be no patterns, but you’ll have people walking down the street, dodging pidgeon poop like Nic Cage with a mullet.

Sorry, I wasn’t clear about that being a tongue in cheek remark.

In English, I like to think it would be a “thingie.” Like Germans are constantly trying to remember the word “lighter” and they’re like, “you know, the whatsit, the… fire… thingie.”

No idea, I don’t speak German. I just studied it a bit and barely remember a few basic phrases.

I mean, yeah. This is an important part of the German language. They create composite words to describe a thing, and learning to break it down into its constituents is a fundamental part of reading German.

And the freshly shorn nards on the right, how do they represent women?

You can’t, because the previous generations allowed capitalism to ruin consumer goods with regulatory capture and planned obsolescence.

I used to order a kid’s meal, and it was more than enough food for an adult. My kids enjoyed getting toys at the end of the day, too, but they were all plastic garbage.

I have zero experience with this, but just thinking logistically, it doesn’t seem like something that will work. Wiring it up is one thing, but it’s another thing entirely to add the control commands to the slicer.

I suppose you could manually pause the print, retract filament 1, swap the control cable (or wire it to a switch) to Extruder 2, and resume the print. Essentially it saves half a step in swapping filaments mid-print, but it would still be printing a single color per layer.

When I was fresh out of college (about 20 years ago for context) I was shadowing an executive for a meeting with a bunch of people. I asked him if I should wear a suit and tie. He said you can’t go wrong in a suit and tie, but whatever you wear tells everyone in the room what you want them to think of you.

Some people dress comfortably because they don’t want to impress anyone. Others dress comfortably because they want you to think they don’t care if you’re impressed. And then there are people who dress comfortably because they don’t need to impress anyone.

I asked him what the difference was, and he said it’s the cost of the tie they aren’t wearing. I always thought that was clever while also completely useless.

Then in the meeting he made a bigoted joke and killed the entire deal. So, I don’t quote his advice often, but I thought it was relevant here.

I won’t. But my concern is that Mozilla is heading in the wrong direction lately, and I have used Firefox for a very long time.

I don’t want that. I want full control and absolute privacy. I do not want your AI reading my emails. Look at that summary, it’s as long as the whole email, and you’re not going to be able to trust that it picked up on the most important part of the email. This is not efficiency, this is novelty.

Then you need an expert on the equipment. If the person who tagged it out didn’t document why, and isn’t available to answer questions, then someone needs to do a full diagnostic and maintenance on whatever it is. Really, asking the person who failed to document the reason shouldn’t even be considered an option. Memories are unreliable. Anyone with the authority to lock out equipment should be trained on the procedure.

The original person who locked the switch fucked up, but that sort of fuckup is precisely why LOTO procedures exist. Safety regs are written in blood. 500 years ago, some well-meaning technician found some equipment that was broken and put it aside to fix later. One of their colleagues found the equipment, not realizing it was broken, tried to use it and immediately died a gruesome death.

Safety is diametric to convenience. Somebody cuts a corner somewhere, and the safest thing to do is overreact.

That’s actually exactly how it should work. The switch isn’t necessary, or someone would have called in an expert to fix it, so it hasn’t been fixed and remains locked.
