we weren't really religious (we never went to church, but i did occasionally go with my grandma, and generally believed God was real), but when I was 13 i found "Atheism: The Case Against God" by George H. Smith in my school library

tangentially, Han Solo was smuggling an addictive narcotic (which is produced by slave labor who work in total darkness) for a vile crime boss. he was a bad person.

I know the feeling. I've spent a couple of years slowly curating my RSS feed to contain [almost entirely] indie and nonprofit news sources, although I do still have a couple of oligarch-owned ones (mostly in tech because it's hard to find good indie tech news).

i've been on a crusade for the last year to foreground the ownership of media outlets; oligarchs do not want a well-informed populace, and the news sites they own pursue that end.

unrelated, Patch is owned by private equity ghouls Hale Global Capital

2 placards: can park at any curb and in front of driveways
3: can double park
4: can park in intersections
5: can use car to push other cars out of good spaces
6+: can park on top of other cars (use placards to build ramp)

Roman salute - Wikipedia

and it's not even actually a Roman salute, the depiction of that salute was invented by a French artist in 1784 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_s...

the space of "useful" cases is FAR smaller than it seems because it's really only the cases with truly valuable output (meaning no hidden flaws like unknown bias and lies) *and no evil externalities*. all the big LLMs fail this on every count.

"useful" is the load bearing word here. in the rare use cases where LLMs seem like they're producing output that isn't obviously worthless, there's still problems: training bias, anodyne output, lies, mass copyright theft, high power usage, enabling the oligarchs, etc.
