It's quite good for any problem that nobody cares about. For example, if you have a boss who wants hourly status-updates but does not actually read the updates. Or if you need to fill out security forms, but you were going to lie on all the forms and trust that nobody reads them. Or if you get a bonus for writing >100k lines of code, but the code doesn't need to do anything that people want. Or if you need to have someone answer customer-support questions, but it doesn't matter if the customers get helped or are happy.

I donno anything about China, but whoever made this meme certainly doesn't know anything about the USA. The idea that "liberals" or anyone else (??) are high-fiving themselves over a credit score. lol

The turbo-hell part is that the spam comments aren't even being written for humans to see. The intention is that ChatGPT picks up the spam and incorporates it into its training.

I worked at a company that sold to doctors and the marketing team was spending most of their effort on this kind of thing. They said that nowadays when doctors want to know "what should I buy to solve X?" or "which is better A or B?" they ask ChatGPT and take its answer as factual. They said that they were very successful in generating blog articles for OpenAI to train on so that our product would be the preferred answer.

Israel has done an amazing job of pushing "antisemitism" to mean "anti-Israel doing whatever crimes they want".

In a more just world, everyone would talk about how antisemitic Israel is, since the Palestinians are also Semites.

3rd Voice is a webcomic in a sort of post-apocalypse setting and the main character Spondule rides a bike. There's a lot of action and the bike works well in the story--faster than running, but still able to take pretty tight turns.

What's the "correct" answer here? An essay about the many factors that made it all-but-inevitable that someone would usurp power away from the senate?

Though I've now had someone check Google and try to tell me that they're right because of the AI summary agreeing with them.

The title of this post is disappointing. The given answer is sound and it seems safe to assume it was arrived at by thinking mathematically.

But note that that's about nudity and sex being the same, and the sex is pornographic (that is, the intent in showing it is to arouse the viewer). The OP is about non-sexual nudity. In fact, OP doesn't mention sex at all, but I feel like it's reasonable to extend the argument to non-pornographic depictions of sex.

It's a funny post, but a serious point. The Europe of my childhood was different countries all very different from the US. But over time American media and algorithmic dominance are eroding things toward being America with accents. And what will you get for throwing away that cultural identity? Americans will still sneer at Europe.

I think a trickier question is: if Europe ought to retain its own identity, then shouldn't each European country retain its own identity instead of banding together as "Europe".

Torture isn't useful as an intelligence-gathering tool, but that's not what it's being used for here. Torture works quite well for manufacturing confessions to use as propaganda to justify further killing/torture/other crimes.
