Ooof. I wonder if she was going to try to be a doctor… and I wonder how ethics boards and such will view actions like these. Probably just blew up her entire career with some stupidity.

You don’t need someone to tell you don’t pretend to be a doctor. Maybe you do need to tell people not to be a piece of shit, but let me help.

Stop being pieces of shit.

shrug and?

I know most people want “New cars” and fine, go chase that over priced luxury, but I’d rather a car that’s 1-2 years old that’s dropped more than half the price, and being passed over because new shiny thing came out.

People shouldn’t have to drive beaters, but buying a car for 10k isn’t a bad decision unless you’re extremely well off our only care about status symbols.

Like there’s a reason I was able to buy a house, and a good job helped, but also my wife and I lived with in our means, which is something I feel that isn’t talked about in the consumerism age. (You can buy something new, but for most things you don’t need a yearly iphone/car/or anything. A good 50 inch tv works well for a tenth of the price of the newest one. ) And yet I see people complain about not having a lot of money yet they’re always talking about the newest graphics cards, newest tvs, and newest tech… I wonder why.

Maybe it’s me, I tend to hyper focus more on food. It’s a “good day” when I hyper focus on work and forget to eat.

Yeah, I’m not sure I really “Get” this joke. Maybe it’s like how ADHD affects somewhere where they forget to eat?

Edit: Btw, I have ADHD, but I’m the opposite, over focus on food, struggle to focus on work if I skip a meal.

Picard is who we want to be. Kirk is who we are.

We meet an alien race someone is going to be the first person who tries to fuck it. Same thing here.

Man so it really learned from us, that’s great. Has me laughing again considering that.

Glad I’m not the only one.

I like Stephen King’s work. But it’s pulp fiction. There’s a few really solid books from him, but he mostly writes for the masses.

It’d be like if Dan Brown claimed this, or Stephanie Meyers. I’m only against this because I think it brings down the quality of the AI.

It’s also wicked strange that so many of these authors hate this, but ignore how many authors grew up on their work, learned from it and tried to write in the same style (And failed). Stephen King is a unique brilliant author. He’s a good author because of the ideas and subjects of his book, not his writing style. An AI wouldn’t have created Misery with out it existed unless someone prompted it with that exact idea.

Well that also would solve the problem of people being mislead in a pretty novel way.

I think you misunderstood me. We need to teach the general populace critical thinking so they can correctly judge what we get from ChatGPT (or Wikipeida… or social media, or random youtube video).

LOL. ChatGPT has become the newer version of wikipedia, only it won’t provide references.

You know unless we teach more critical thinking, AI is going to destroy us as a civilization in a few generations.

I was more making a joke.

I’m sure we know the truth, there’s supposed to be a page that’s fully redacted from a couple days before. Wonder why that’s never been shown if there’s nothing to hide. Then again there’s knowing what happened, and having proof of it.

There’s certain secrets which can never be revealed.

Imagine if America somehow caused the death of Queen Elizabeth ( as far as I know there’s no evidence of this just an example.) It would take centuries for it be ok to reveal this with out ruining American English relations. This is intended as just a thought experiment to see how bad a country would take it.

And if you think “Nah they don’t have anything that bad.” The way America has fucked over the world with it’s KNOWN foreign policy… there’s 0 chance that we don’t have many many many skeletons in our closet. I guarantee we’ve assassinated people. Potentially Leaders (no matter what Carter said). I guarantee we’ve interfered with elections, or even fully rigged elections. We’ve probably handed over dangerous weapons to countries. We’ve almost certainly done devastating things to multiple people in the world.

And think of everything we’ve done to our own people. Just think of what we HAVE admitted. The Tuskegee Experiments? That’s what we HAVE admitted to. I’m guarantee as well that’s not the worst thing our government has done to their own citizens. I mean imagine if we find out the FBI threatened the president, or actually did kill Kennedy or even just any involvement in that? Holy shit, there’s “Think something happened” And there’s “Know something happened”… that’s not getting revealed.

Should we have an automatic sunset for classified documents? Sure. Should we stop doing awful shit? Yes. But my god, the amount of skeletons in our closet and what will happen when it’s all out in the open… it won’t be released. Hell I’m willing to bet there’s thing that aren’t even shared with the president (Maybe because he doesn’t know what to ask for or they flat out wouldn’t share it with him. There are limitations to what is shared with a president, for instance an investigation into him.)

Or maybe all classified documents will accidentally be destroyed in a fire the day before they’re to be released. OOPS!

CIA has her come in. Shows her the documents she walks out and god “NEVER MIND!” and quickly walks away afraid of what she just has seen. A joke… but probably also completely true.

On the other hand it’s completely possible the CIA doesn’t have any documents on their role in the Chilean Coup in 1973… because they chose not to write anything down. (or theirs was planned for 1974)

Don’t worry as long as your company isn’t making you worry about it. I just personally chose full remote, but the people who chose hybrid have probably done as you say or less. And even when they do come in for “Collaboration days”, they sit with us in a conference room.

I’m not going to make it an issue, but you’d fit in at my company. Then again we haven’t (And may never have) a mandatory RTO.

Oh I totally misunderstood/misread that. Sorry.

That’s fucking dumb as shit, agreed. Then again that gives me an excuse to go home ASAP.

And that still would be legal.

Mcdonalds has existed for decades with that model. The only lawsuits against them are usually settled, and about shit where they knowingly lied like about Transfats. You can’t blame Mcdonalds for your unhealthy eating, you can’t blame one supermarket because it doesn’t sell what you think is healthy. So sure, your version is perfectly fine too… and yet is still legal.

Ever been to a candy store? A chocolate shop? Even Cheescake Factory is really unhealthy in general and still is a major chain? At some point personal responsibility is what it comes down to.

I don’t have a problem with this. My office made this rule too, basically you chose hybrid, in person, or full remote. I went full remote. I don’t have a desk at the office, but I’m not required to come in. When I go in there’s hoteling offices, meaning I get an office to work, and theoretically if I went in for a week, I can leave my stuff there, but after that week, I take my stuff and go home.

4 days every two month is WAY too low to maintain an office for a person. Heck even 2 days a week is borderline. Companies want to reduce their floorplans, and that’s reasonable if they allow full remote, as long as full remote means full remote. (not required to come in)
