I can see the insanity on both sides.

But being able to see both sides doesn’t mean both sides are exactly equal all the time. They’re not.

Without a doubt. Just saying it’s not 100% on the right.

Hard to know what to do about it when the people who are the most susceptible to misinformation are often the ones who think they’re the least susceptible to misinformation.

And no I don’t just mean right wing chuds. I’ve found there’s a heavy correlation between people who are certain they are immune to propaganda and know the real truth and people who have, in fact, been conned by propaganda and misinformation. Conspiracy theorists, MLM adherents, antivax weirdos, homeopathy people … they’re all “doing their own research” so they can’t be conned.

The hubris is always a dead giveaway. A sort of Dunning-Kruger thing.

For what it’s worth I totally acknowledge that I can be and have been tricked by misinformation and propaganda.

I do not trust your assessment of their expertise.

Cheekiness aside, there are plenty of people with tons of tech expertise working in the federal apparatus. Let’s hope they’re put on this project.

The National Institute of Standards and Safety (NIST) will be responsible for developing standards to “red team” AI models before public release, while the Department of Energy and Department of Homeland Security are directed to address the potential threat of AI to infrastructure and the chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and cybersecurity risks.

The rules will be developed by agencies with relevant expertise.

You do know that Biden didn’t personally draft this himself, right?

It delegates the specifics to agencies with relevant expertise. That’s how the executive branch works.

Are you telling me that old lady is sitting there comfortably supporting 20lbs of cats with her neck muscles?

This shit looks incredible! I almost never buy games on day 1 but I can’t resist. Hopefully my local Target will have it in stock on Friday.

As a lurker who doesn’t post much:

Improve the quality of the platform. Fix the moderation issues. Find a solution to communities being fragmented across multiple servers. Keep improving reliability. And so on.

Black cats are the best cats. Welcome to the club!

The best way to stop the cats from destroying furniture is to give them better targets for scratching. Make sure every room has a scratch pad or similar; if you find ones that the cat likes the problem will fix itself.

Don’t discourage kneading behavior. Instead, keep blankets around so when the cat homes in on you for a lap and some kneading time you can just put a blanket under him to shield yourself from the claws. Over time he’ll grow attached to some of the blankets and be content to just knead those on their own without sitting on you at all.

If you really want to help with these things buy a cat claw trimmer and learn to trim his claws every couple of weeks. Give him treats afterwards so he has a positive association with the process. If he fights it then swaddling him in blankets and just poking each leg out as you trim it helps a LOT. Like with all behaviors, starting this when he’s a kitten will normalize it for him and make it way easier down the road.

Pop Culture Detective is great, for the most part.

I agree, I don’t buy WD drives any more. But I don’t want to replace the ones I already have unless it’s necessary.

So far these issues only apply to these specific SSDs … fingers crossed it stays that way, because like you I’ve got a number of WD HDDs in my life.
