I thought is was the letter U and the numeral 2.

They're from England, and who gives a shit.

You are referring to the former Soviet Union. Russia is currently trying to claw them back, which is why the US and the rest of the world are in a big 10-8 place.

Is it me or is there an entire generation stuck inside a 1999 film? The Matrix was great eye candy, but it wasn't meant to be taken as seriously as some people have made it out to be. Recalibrate if you're still stuck on the word 'woke' because if you can't clearly and adequately define the word you're using, it's a good sign you should probably drop it from your vocabulary. The same goes for the pill metaphor. It was lazy when Morpheus used it just as it was lazy when Dr. Edgemar used it in Total Recall. Wake up, Neo!

Seems like a miscalculation on their end. You'd think they'd check around before throwing $3M away.

>Seems like a miscalculation on their end.

Or it's a miscalculation on your end.

>You'd think they'd check around before throwing $3M away.

Maybe they did?

Are you alluding to other prominent figures emigrating to the country?

This implies he will also visit incognito Switzerland.

Just took steam out to Holt on Monday. The conductor mentioned it was the first run in weeks due to the drought.

I don't know about you, but don't people use encryption to retain privacy? And are people still free to manage their personal information? Doesn't a duress PIN present that information in its intended form? I'm confused.

Here's a link to a video of PKD in Metz, France in 1977 where he reviews the material: https://youtu.be/P3TXfwGV8LQ?is=09XaeMgMDZaRChGT

There's plenty of evidence that LLMs lie, cheat, and steal. Corporations are known for having all of the benefits of personhood with none of the responsibility. As more people are harmed through interactions with these non-human entities, insurers will start looking to those accountable and they will extract their pound of flesh.

When you share YT links you should remove the `?is=...` tracker.

Insurers are corporations. What makes you think they just won't pay out or will cease being useful as anything but value extractors?

Honestly, the fetishization of "Insurance will save us" needs to die. The risk doesn't go away.

Not saying insurance saves anything. Corporations go after each other all the time; nothing new there. What is new are the opportunities to extract provided by uncontrolled LLM fuckery and an unsuspecting c-suite that believes they're immune.

Or that people don't cheat at work. Or that everyone write excellent code. Or all the code is secured.

In Richard Murphy's review of ‘The Great ADHD myth?’ he states that Channel 4 should hang its head in shame. [1]

tl;dr:

"[Pemberton] failed to mention that he specialises in geriatric care."

"No evidence was presented from anyone who suffered from the condition, except a 10-year-old boy."

"...a biased view on a subject where the opinion presented will cause significant harm..."

"...deeply ethically and politically irresponsible."

Keep in mind that this is an article by the BBC about a BBC documentary. Think critically about bias in state run media or suffer the consequences.

Also, a scientist is interviewed in the documentary (I haven't seen the documentary, but my understanding is that it is the only real expert involved), Prof Katya Rubia, and they recently reacted to the documentary:

"My own contribution to this programme has been largely misrepresented as my comments were cherry-picked, truncated and presented out of context to make them fit into the programme’s narrative"

They comment further in the article, also concluding that the documentary is non-scientific and ill-advised.
