Theres probably variation from the background there, that drives clicks to that particular spot. Several of the red-female locations have blue-male dots at the same spot.

It’s probably 1 click = blue, right? The more clicks overlap at a certain point the closer to red.

I worked in a phone room of a large drug company. By early 2021 we had AI agents making phone calls to insurance companies to confirm basic insurance coverage details. They only handled the “no surprises” kind of plans - so a limited set of expected answers. They would encounter something unexpected and pass off to a human maybe 10-15% of the time.

But within their limits, they did what a human did. It was recognizably AI to most listeners, but vocal tone, probing for clarity, getting all the info - the output was like listening to the output an experienced human agent.

There’s a credible argument that we’re just strongly overestimating what consciousness is.

I don’t think AI is conscious. But it processes information and comes up with an output that’s often dumb, obvious or not really on topic and then rarely kinda cool - just like humans do. It doesn’t have a will, but most experts agree that free will is scientifically impossible, even if many think we should just pretend that it’s real. AI doesn’t have the feeling of subjective experience, but that’s not really very important - we could still see a red light, understand what it means and execute appropriate bevahiour if we lacked the subjective experience of seeing the color red.

AI is not conscious, similarly to how a ventilator is not human lungs. It’s not, but it’s still doing mostly the same thing.

My favorite UFO explanation is that it was largely a ploy to waste the USSR’s money. They’ll have to expend more resources chasing down a red herring than it takes us to lie about it. No coincidence then, that as a near-peer competitor emerges again we get UAPs.

“I’ll release some BS we made up” is incredibly appropriate as a desperate distraction.

This misunderstands the situation.

Most of the conservative majority on the court are active participants in the ongoing fascist coup, probably a few are just committed sympathizers.

This isn’t the supreme court enforcing the law against the president, this is a disagreement between factions within the regime about the priorities and direction.

Shootie and the blow-fiend.

This should be in an Enough Newsom Spam community so we can block it.

There’s only one pro-american program i’d like to see.

Stay tuned for the seasonal finale of We Got The Guillotine, where someone very famous will shit himself on camera for the last time!

This might be the single least shit shitpost i’ve ever seen.

That clock rules. What a thing of beauty.

30% of US adults voted for trump.

In a democracy, that would be a crippling defeat that might spell the end of your party, not give you complete control of all branches of government.

Underrail is so good.

You don’t purge the military of anyone who disagrees unless you plan to do some shit that the military would try to stop.

This move can only be read as our illegal fascist regime consolidating it’s grip on power.

Once i had to make a sign on a whiteboard for a deaf patient that said: Remember No Meth for 1 Week!

Unsurprisingly, the sign was less powerful a motivator then methamphetamine.

That’s not even all of them, he also said “I hate a barnacle as no man ever did”.

I would’ve gone with “something something burt ward” for the title.

Well that’s slightly more depressing.

That dollar sign is really setting off my inner pedant.

The “car SUVs” and “truck SUVs” categories sound a bit nebulous, but they all encompass crossovers and SUVs, albeit in ways that might seem odd

There’s some discussion of that point later in the article, i believe.

I think it’s compact SUVs.
