Holy smokes. That guy must have been under high pressure for a long time if he is thinking about butt-fucking every time he sees a rainbow. I hope he gets some relief soon, for everyone's sake!

I reckon there are better free ways to waste your time, and many don't require moral corruption.
Company says that everyone should give them money and stop using competing products.
Obvious thing to say in the land of self-interest.
It's a short hand way of communicating. Like saying that a good search engine tries to find the most relevant sites. Or a streaming algorithm tries to recommend videos that you'll watch. It's not that we are saying these things are conscious or whatever. We're just describing what they do.
It really is shocking. For decades, copyright laws have been enforced; and various new laws and powers have been added to prevent people from sharing content with each other. And yet now, it seems governments are willing to accept that big companies are allowed to just take whatever content they want and put it into their own products to on-sell however they like. Like, governments have gone out of their way to block people's access to sites like zlib; but their the entire zlib archive is just downloaded as a matter of routine business by mega-corps - not to be read, but to be exploited for profit, with nothing at all given to the actual source of the value; not even acknowledgement or a 'thank you'. And certainly not with consent. Is this somehow ok?
The phrase "reduce, reuse, recycle" was meant to be a hierarchy, where 'reduce' was by far the best option, and 'recycle' was the backup plan in cases where the others were not viable.
But somehow the message about recycling was twisted to the point where many people believe that mountains of waste are totally fine as long as it is 'recyclable'. And so instead of reducing waste per person, we've increased it. Advertising and convenience seems to overpower any kind of good intention. Perhaps regulation is the only way.
The researchers also found:
- around one in ten (9.4%) Australian men has sexually offended against children
Does that figure accurately reflect the Australian population? Like, 1 in eleven men (roughly) have acted on some sexual impulse with a child. That sounds pretty high. I know a lot of adult males; so with that kind of statistic (and the follow-up about their typical backgrounds), it would be highly likely that I know a few sexual offenders without realising it.
This article is about evidence and data driven science. They have described what their method is, and they've measured that it performs better than what was done previously. It's not clear exactly what inputs are being used, or how the First Nations calendar ideas are being used, because the article doesn't go into those details. But it the core message is that the researches tried something different and that it seems to be working.
This is why various necessaries were given offsets with the previous carbon tax. Problems like that can be worked around.
You have said in multiple posts that "women" should be doing more to address the issue of misogyny.
What are you saying now? That you don't think teachers aren't doing their jobs? Holy smokes man. It's not what you were saying before, but it is similarly hateful.
I think the penalties are too harsh at all. This person is suppose to be a trained professional. Their right to practice law is based on their skills and their knowledge. It's a high barrier that prevents most people from taking that job. And in this case, the person outsourced a key part of their job to a LLM, and did not verify the result. Effectively they got someone (something) unqualified to do the job for them, and passed it off as their own work. So the high barrier which was meant to ensure high-quality work was breached. It makes sense to strip the person of their right to do that kind of work. (The suspension is temporary, which is fair too. But these kinds of breaches trust and reliability are not something people should just accept.)
