Elon, I keep telling you, the answer is no.

It’s really weird when people with a kink try to push that kink on everyone else and they act like everyone else is wrong for building their entire persona around the kink. We get it, you really love hand crafting your code, line by line character by character, but I don’t need that to enjoy coding. I like producing useful things and then working on ways to make them even more useful. I have hand crafted enough widgets and thingamabobs that I don’t need to personally fondle another one into existence. I don’t need to be an expert at yet another language that will be obsolete well before I retire. When I was a young lad I could get off a really good wank to the bra section of the Woolworths catalog, but not so much anymore. That doesn’t mean I am burnt out or that I don’t like a good wank anymore, but frankly I would prefer someone with a pretty face and soft hands to yank on my dick for me. Have you never worked with or trained junior programmers before? I guarantee you that the nonsense a junior can produce is much worse than the crazed hallucinations of some AI.

There are a lot of reasons to hate AI, like the destruction of the dev experience pipeline… but shitting on people who manage to find ways to use AI is not really helping your crusade.

Since there’s no way to stop someone from just opening another account elsewhere, blocking the entire thing would just scatter them like smashing one roach will scatter the others.

Unfortunately, I don’t think that would be something he would bother with or care about.

Obviously you made the mistake of not being born wealthy. If you had just been born wealthy, you would realize that driving long distance is something you very rarely do, or when you can’t find a trustworthy peasant to ship/drive your vehicle to/from your summer home.

Hah, you said duty.

You seem like a polite child, but isn’t it a little late for you to be up? Hurry to bed before your parents find out.

Bed leveling is the first suspect, but I would also make sure that the x gantry doesn’t wobble, moves smoothly, and is level to the bed.
Check the y axis to make sure there’s no wobble and the bed moves smoothly. Also make sure the rest of the frame is tight and square and the belts are tight.
Leveling can be a pain to get right on the ender3, but loose screws, flat wheels, ect will make it impossible.

So, “Hacked” in this case means asked Grok where they could buy a “Female Body Inspector” tshirt and Grok coughed up the personal details of everything FBI?

Actually, a number of governments have contracted with private companies to handle certain policing duties like tolls or parking enforcement. Those companies then basically get all the rights of the government. I believe that it was NY City that was having a serious problem with parking enforcement stealing (impounding vehicles) and putting tickets on legally parked vehicles (about 10yrs ago) just to bump their profits.

Blue MAGA… I am going to be honest, I like this a lot better than the pretending to be anarchists or libertarian of past voting seasons. It is still painfully oblivious as to why people vote Democrat, but it feels like you guys put in some thought this time… Stupid thoughts, but still there was an attempt, and I can appreciate that.

Are you trying to tell me that this is the image of someone without any friends?

There’s no way that thing self drove itself there. How would it have recharged multiple times?
Although I do believe that it’s possible that their shitty software could get confused about where it is supposed to go and try to make a cross country trip.

I can’t stop smiling at the idea of someone trying to hail a cyber cab in Paris Tx and then numerous cyber cabs go flying off docks on the eastern side of the country. Every few minutes another cab, each one going slightly faster than the last.

Gotta keep the hype going until they figure out how to make money or else everything collapses.

Cool story

Anything’s possible when you make shit up

Repeated exposure and normalization are basic psychology that would be introduced in even the most rudimentary Intro to Psychiatry text book. They are basic tools used by therapists, advertisers, politicians, ect, ect to do everything from good to bad like convince you that spiders aren’t horrifying, black people = white people, being gay is ok, ADHD doesn’t mean you’re defective, that you just should buy certain items because they match the lifestyle you think you deserve, and more recently that being a racist pedo rapist is acceptable as President.

You can claim that you are fighting for gay rights by tossing all the children to the pedos, but that is bullshit. If you are actually gay, then you are purposely equating homosexuality with pedophilia. The only way your argument wouldn’t automatically make you one of the dumbest people on the planet is if you were purposely throwing on the “gay” mantle to reinforce the association of “gay” with “pedo” (like some political huckster), or if you were a pedo trying to deflect people from calling you out as the pedo that obviously are.

Oh wow. You seem to be awfully enraged about this. You must have some personal investment in people being allowed to view specific types of “pornographic material”. Well, don’t let something like facts or common sense get in the way of your crusade.

Evidence? You mean other than the extensive research, clinical tests, personal stories and confessions of offenders?

Independent bookstores all across Europe are seeing a trend like this, where they receive random, relatively large orders that are shipped to local addresses. While orders like these still come through in the digital age, especially from institutional buyers looking to fill out new libraries, they say that most “legitimate” orders often come with coordination and negotiation, not just a straight purchase order.
