This gets at my own personal perspective of using LLMs to respond - it’s not just about not putting effort into understanding and responding yourself, rather it is about making yourself a proxy to a tool I could use myself, and doing so *without even having a better understanding of how to use the tool to answer my question*, and still thinking you’re somehow made a positive contribution, that is the most disrespectful.

If you genuinely thought the LLM could help me then you should be explaining your process to me for how to use it and validate responses, or else at least you should ask me for more info and explain how you think it’s responses could help if you really do think you’re better at operating it.

Imagine doing the same in a workshop, and taking a powertool to an object before you even bothered figuring out what the other person wanted. Or trying to be helpful by asking questions on your behalf to other departments, but messing up the context and thus repeatedly producing useless answers that you have to put time into refuting.

What do you mean, he played the genie, and, oh right…

You washed your dishes too hard

We Swedes can get in on the verylongcompoundword fun too

Yes, this. Tax collateral as advance on capital gains and the whole incentive to dodge taxes with loans go away and it remains fair too

You could make exceptions for loans taken to improve the same asset (home improvement loans) but you’d have to pass strict audits to get the exception approved

SCOTUS didn’t even rule on if he’s disqualified.

It’s not the same type of case, but it’s relevant to show total legal nullification and total reversal is legally supported. It can be extended to the entire second term, erasing every change he made.

[T]he purported removal of Ambassador George Moose as acting president of the Institute by a resolution adopted by less than a majority of the duly appointed Board of Directors of USIP was invalid, and therefore null, void, and without legal effect ….

Enforce 14A3 and declare the second term invalid and null and void. That will nullify all the pardons too

You’re forgetting the girl gets to also make a wish

Yes.

Meanwhile intelligence agencies says they want to stop encryption to help them investigate crime…

Lobbyists selected by rich people tell politicians who to appoint to lead agencies. These people give directives and can get agents fired for disobeying.

Stopping it means removing “single points of failures” like not having such a powerful hierarchy, in addition to accountability measures (independent inspections, etc)

Pressure wash

Presidential pardons for state crimes don’t exist. Claiming he’s done it does nothing. Signing fancy formal papers saying so is null and void.

Unreliable certainly. For as long as there’s radio coverage there’s a way, but it used to be impractical to give passengers enough bandwidth. 20 years ago you’d have to ask the captain nicely to get a call routed (read: have an emergency)

If you allow civilian HAM radio, you go back a few more decades (not quite applicable to planes, but definitely applicable to boats). If you allow Morse code you go back yet a little further.

EU have a freedom of expression law and multiple countries also have constitutional freedom of speech, including right to film police

Germany is also rather unique in having laws with opaque interpretations

They went for the protocol used by Bluesky. But apparently disabling federation.

What about surrealists

Interestingly they’re basing it off the Bluesky atproto architecture. Seems like they’re keeping controlled sign-ups and setting the appview to only index (and only display) their own users.

And if they don’t break protocol compatibility, others could have a “read-only view” of their network from servers / clients that federate (comparable to a lemmy server which would reject incoming messages but still let you browse)

That meeting should’ve been an email anyway.

… Uh, wait a minute…
