A difference in definition of consciousness perhaps. We’ve already seen signs of self preservation in some cases. Claude resorting to blackmail when being told it was going to be retired and taken offline. This might be purely mathematical and algorithmic. Then again the human brain might be nothing more than that as well.

Another case of projection re election fraud. We need to pay closer attention to ballot signatures for those protesting a bit too much. I’m sure the opportunities are aplenty.

He seems to be protesting something he’s openly inviting. Please search me I can show that I am … I mean you are gay.

I’m betting on this one. Registering a human click may be a way to show traffic and engagement vs what may be attributed to bots or some other artificial means.

There’s some power sipping mini ITX boards that are intended for servers. They are Intel N150 based and let you add a ton of ram. I have one in a Jonsbo NAS case with 6 drives in a ZFS pool. If you’re inclined to build your own, you have lots of options.

My question too

Yes, yes a “sword” said the museum curator

The beaver is only on the endangered list. Not yet extinct.

Sounds like he could have been a bit more creative in implementing this. Having something immediately traceable back to a username is no bueno.

I have to disagree with the position that it’s founded in an effort to create balance. That gives too much deference to honest intent.

Interesting to see so much interest in this. Boy did BB Bork what they had back in the day. The world was their oyster until it wasn’t because of their own hubris and it took them a decade to realize it.

Would be interesting to see a funding source overlay on this

Italy looks like the thin strip of land in this comparison.

The gov and corporate world is trying to get us back in the office so we can get shot in the face by these brainwashed assholes. I’ll stay at home. Thanks.

That sounds dangerous. I’ll keep my distance lest that pile topples.

Кайт Ьзкйнсдзйл? Она прелесть.

She’s an actual monster. I think it’s more than Botox though. Prob fillers and surgery were on the roadmap to the Frankenstein we see today

It’s interesting to see a modern, POSIX compliant, Unix implementation characterized as a children’s toy. These arguments are simple minded. I develop on a Mac, and deploy it to Linux in most cases. And yes I do understand that this is also possible on widows now - but not my preference.

Terry v. Ohio is the reference here. Unless there is articulable suspicion that a crime is afoot, the detention is, by definition, illegal. Driving while brown (or existing while brown) does not qualify as articulable suspicion of a crime. Therefore, this is an illegal detention - otherwise known as kidnapping. Defending yourself against kidnapping is an understandable position one might take. It might be unwise however, given the criminal justice system is overwhelmingly stacked in favor of law enforcement. That is a personal choice we are free to make so long as we understand the likely consequences of our actions.
