I wish I wasn’t as desensitized to this sort of thing as I am. Years ago, when I heard about this sort of thing, it became all I could think about for at least a good few hours. Nowadays, all I can muster is “Hmm…that sucks.”

It really says something about 21st-century society.

They just can’t seem to take a hint, can they?

How tho? Will Claude be looking over our proverbial shoulders now, and if whatever we type just so happens to be word-for-word what it said, it can magically flag it?

What I’m saying is that if someone just types verbatim what Claude says, instead of just going “Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V”, that completely undermines this whole thing.

As I’ve said in response to a number of articles about this, all this means is that when someone wants to use Claude’s output for something, they just need to remember to manually type it in now, rather than just copy-paste it. Practically speaking, this changes nothing.

“Teenager” is a fairly broad spectrum of age; there’s a big difference between 13 & 17. You should pick something geared toward his approximate point of psycho-intellectual development. I personally would suggest tinnitus sounds, the kind of droning bass that literally makes the house shake, or an earrape version of “Reveille” accompanied by you banging on something metal, like Sgt. Hartman from Full Metal Jacket.

This is the Washington metro area on the US East Coast; spotted lanternflies have been invasive here for years.

As I understand it they’re originally from East Asia somewhere.

There IS one a street up from me near one of the county govt buildings…

I mean, so long as he doesn’t make them go out of pocket themselves for it…

It’s all about consistency.

The two-party “A or B, this or that” thing in America is FAR from an optimal means of politics, but always remember: your most important right as a citizen is voting for your legislative representatives and local/state/national leaders. It’s your civic duty.

That too

Can someone fill me in on this “Tesseract” thing? I know what it is regarding geometry & spacetime & whatnot, but how is it related to Lemmy?

I like to think that Washington DC is the fourth, seeing as it’s the national capital, the political & historical center of America, and the fact that things that happen in DC have not just national, but international effects.

Also a fair bit of personal bias tbh, seeing as I live in the metro area.

Parody & satire are well & truly lost arts.

Pawn shops that don’t ask where I got those rings,

These are a few of my favorite things.

I was listening to Hybrid Theory on a old CD player when I was 5, and for years Dad would often as not have the classic rock/heavy metal channels playing in the car.
