With such a strictly utilitarian outlook on life, I bet you're a joy at parties. Why even bring one of your favorite foods to share when that's supposed to be the host's job?

It depends on the product. I don't want to be served slop, designed to generate mindless clicks but if AI is secondary to something being produced by a human, for humans, I'm a little less upset about it.

Examples: SNL used an AI photo as an illustration for a weekend upstate story joke. The star of the show was the news story and the punchline to follow. The illustration helps the delivery, but isn't the product.

I could also understand (for example) AI-generated background music when creating a video on YouTube, so long as the purpose of the video is worth a damn.

Friendly reminder that SCOTUS ruled 6-3 in an opinion authored by none other than Neil Gorsuch that discrimination by sexual orientation and gender identity is inherently discrimination by sex. If that was actually the reason, that school is in for a rough time.

If they do, can they also fully capitalize HUSSEIN in the name, as someone else seems to insist on doing all the time?

Ahhh yeah, I forgot some places (generally including Chicago, it would seem) do that.

I'm assuming this is just for felonies? I was on a 6-person jury in Colorado (obviously relatively progressive) recently, but it was a misdemeanor. I believe felony cases have the full 12.

The receipt will span the entire pool. I mean, it would anyway for a candy bar at that place but it will here too!

Not that it would happen, but can you imagine if the case ends up getting dismissed with prejudice before trial over that?

To help quantify, that's a little under 3 pounds (1.3kg) per person, assuming perfectly equal distribution.

I wasn't expecting good news in the world of AI today, but I'll take it!

Now the question is, which Jenga block is being pulled?

There is sugar, absolutely. And that's probably where most of the calories come from. But there is also water, cellulose (fiber), and vitamins/minerals - doesn't have much non-sugar caloric value to change that balance, but it's still important. And nobody serious is suggesting you eat only fruit, so you can get non-sugar calories from other sources and it can be balanced in the big picture.

It's kind of like an appropriate amount of dressing on a salad, the good outweighs the bad and makes you more likely to actually eat that nutrition-positive food.

I was looking for "buzzword soup website doesn't say what the product fucking does"

Maybe that wouldn't fit in a square

It's the same jurisdiction that put 4 cops in jail for murdering George Floyd. There's a good chance that AG Keith Ellison is looking into it

The kind of people who would start a business (to enrich themselves) and the kind of people who value co-ops and employee-owned businesses (to enrich others) does not have much overlap. I love the idea of coops, but I do not have the skills or ambition to start any kind of business.

Saving you a click: Rand Paul, Thom Tillis, and Susan Collins voted against. Everyone else on party lines. Vance tiebreaker.

My brother-in-law didn't want to carry his jacket around at Disney World, and he didn't want to get a locker for it, so he had his dad turn it in to lost and found. At the end of the day, before leaving the park, he picked it back up.
