LLMs lie because they were programmed to keep you engaging with them, and that's why they say what you want to hear, probably for some planned advertising dollars model. The constant anthropomorphizing of LLMs is problematic. We can't allow ourselves to empathize with this thing.

4. Sandals and flip flops don't protect your feet, and they don't give you support, so it's harder to walk on the sand. 4a. and all the added strain of trying to walk on the sand with sandals makes them more likely to break. Save your cute sandals! Rules are my own. YMMV. Enjoy the beach!
Ceil (@ceilck.bsky.social) reply parent
I grew up 15 mins from the beach. My shoe rules: 1. The beach is too hot to walk on w/o shoes 2. Sneakers protect your feet AND you put them on the corners of your blanket as a weight while you're setting up 3. You're at the beach. Sand will get everywhere. It will get in your shoes. Don't fight it.

The failure mode our republic is currently undergoing isn't because its constitution is badly written or poorly thought out. It's because its constitution, like the next one will be, is nothing but paper. No law is self executing. We can't have a better country until we become better people.

As I pointed out, your 3 "sources" are biased. Also, you keep saying "communist" and I don't think you know what that word means, as it has nothing to do with who commits or doesn't commit genocide. It's just an economic system.
Ceil (@ceilck.bsky.social) reply parent
Listen, @huckstergon.bsky.social gave you 6 sources of international experts who have been studying genocide for longer than you've probably been posting on social. Also, genocide isn't just about actual dead bodies, but also about erasing cultures. I don't know what's in it for you here, but stop.

One piece by a Jewish advocacy group & one by someone associated w/a Jewish advocay group. And other Holocaust museums have differing opinions, so it looks like you're cherry-picking. Jewish advocacy groups can be great, but on issues dealing with Jewish advocacy...you'd have to say they're biased.

When every single bank says that you should spend no more than 30% of your income on housing, then why isn't it an easy calculation of what regional average minimum wage should be? Why not just look at monthly housing costs and divide by 0.3? Unless we don't want people to afford housing...

Yes, but if you had all that money, you could also just rent out an actual, big natural history museum for a pajama party, and then you wouldn't have to dust dinosaurs from giant ladders the other 364 days of the year. "Dusting things" is my upward limit for object-owning.
