It’s almost as if nuanced positions cannot be reduced to “Do you support X? Yes or no.” without loss of information.

If you’re only concerned with who gets to live in the brand new housing, rather than who gets to live in housing … sure.
It’s a good write-up, but I’m not buying that treating-things-like-people bit.
Strikes me like woo: the idea has a pleasing symmetry to it, but that’s about it. I will hold that treating my dog like people is not in fact a step toward treating people like my dog.
Here’s a similar one, but with spoken word. I couldn’t pick out complete sentences until 1400 or so.

Don’t think many people outside the industry understand how you might have the next 4+ versions of a large product all in active development at the same time.
As someone who’s been living amongst the Waymo’s for some years now in SF, I have to say they are the only ones I trust to yield to me when I cross the road — even in marked crosswalks.
This is confirmed?
I’m only talking about this idea that everything people feed into AI is being used to train it.
Is anyone actually doing that? I would have assumed that curating the training corpus is extremely important to producing a high quality model. Just training it on whatever random prompts users throw at it sounds like a recipe for an absolute garbage model.
What is the deal? This is a completely solved problem in the RV & boat world: just slap a couple 8D batteries, charger, & inverter in there and you can go for a week at a time between charges — assuming you do the actual cooking with propane.
Is the food truck world just unaware?
Works better in screenshots
The world of software is stupid acronyms all the way down
Now that’s an unfortunate typo
I feel like the whole corporate personhood debate always glosses over the fact that corporations are literally large teams of living, breathing people working together.
It is the euphemism treadmill in action.
I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what
I’d be even more impressed if they’d used an old mechanical timer outlet.
I think an older copy will do just fine. The tech really hasn’t changed all that much, and the fundamentals not at all. Chart plotters might have nicer screens and better integration with your phone, but that’s hardly what it’s all about.

Whatever do you mean?
Francis Wang in brown wool wrap holding mic with coyote in left hand side of screen behind her on street. Banner reads LOOK BEHIND YOU COYOTE WALKS THROUGH FRANCIS WANG'S LIVE SHOT
Hilariously, a coyote walked behind a San Francisco reporter as she was doing a segment on the mountain lion. 🤣
idea i had
Yep, and it’s going to take a lot more understanding about our own experience before I’m willing to concede that a series of matrix multiplications has one of its own.
Even with everything else going on, this still sounds like a dark joke.

I suspect this has nothing at all to do with training, and is just random people asking AI to research something in their chat sessions, rather than reading Wikipedia directly. The Wikipedia requests then come from the servers running the AI instead of peoples’ browsers.
Upgrade your e-bike too much and it’s no longer a really fast bicycle so much as a really janky motorcycle.
Where do boat and RV fit in there?
I suspect most people neglect to put “be extremely concise” in their prompts. It’s literally the first instruction in all my sessions.
Something ironic about an AI-generated refutation of the AI-generated evidence.
