The only AI company that responded to Ars' request to comment was OpenAI, whose spokesperson confirmed that OpenAI is already working on a way to fight tarpitting.

Ah yes. It's extremely common for one of the top companies in an industry to spitefully expend resources fighting the irrelevant efforts of...

One or two people

Please, continue to grace us with you unbiased wisdom. Clearly you've read the article and aren't just trying to simp for AI or start flame wars like a petulant child.

It's important that while we are looking for solutions for the now that we also reflect on how it could have been prevented. If this is burned into our memories, maybe next time someone that represents us gains power we'll force them to prevent something similar from happening again in the future.

Get people outraged about stupid shit while they burn important shit to the ground.

Literally the third paragraph, and they are short paragraphs.

The IRC gets about half of its funding from the US government and part of its work is to help resettle refugees in the US.

If you keep reading...

As a result of the IRC’s suspension of healthcare, hospitals in the refugee camps have had to discharge all their patients except for emergency cases and stop seeing outpatients, according to healthcare officials working in the camps.

While it's not nothing to joke about such things Trump is, intentional or not, a grand master of generating outrage around less meaningful words and actions while work is performed in the background that should really be getting more attention.

It might be on purpose or it might be that he's just being deployed by those manipulating things in the background. He doesn't give a shit so long as he keeping growing his power, money, attention , and fame.

lol, get lost troll

Honestly, the current situation is beyond double standards. The Republicans have free reign to more or less break any of their own rules and suffer almost no consequences. Meanwhile, literally anything a Democrat does is spun into multiple mutually exclusive conspiracy theories that their base and the media somehow manage to spout simultaneously.

From Wikipedia

Dude pushed ivermectin and conspiracy theories about vaccines, fell for right-wing propaganda smearing Joe Biden, and hosted a boogaloo.

I don't mind legit criticism of Democrats or pushing for universal healthcare. However, he regularly falls for stupid shit put out by the right and has regularly spread misinformation. Maybe he doesn't do it on purpose and he's just kind of an idiot. Either way, I think he's at best a waste to listen to.

Or Google "How Jimmy Dore Broke Out of the Propaganda Matrix". The guy is a whack job. If you're a fan you likely already know all this and either agree with him or give him a pass. I just want to make sure everyone else knows.

Controversies

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dore promoted misleading information about the efficacy and safety of vaccines, even though he had been vaccinated. The anti-parasitic drug ivermectin was promoted on his program as a treatment for COVID-19 although there is no compelling medical evidence to support this.

In a July 2020 video, Dore erroneously said Joe Biden had once "hosted a black face affair with a bunch of rich white people", showing an altered clip that had been circulating on social media since January, which had darkened the face of black singer Jerome Powell. The video received more than 100,000 views in one day and has since been removed from YouTube.

In January 2021, Dore interviewed Zackary Clark, a member of the anti-government, far-right extremist Boogaloo movement. Clark used the pseudonym "Magnus Panvidya". Dore tweeted that he was "completely floored" to have learned during the course of the interview that Panvidya supported Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ rights and opposed racism, police brutality, war and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In an opinion piece on The Daily Beast, Alexander Reid Ross described Dore's interview as being a "public-relations disaster". According to Ross, filmmaker Rod Webber told Dore in a subsequent interview that he should "vet [people like Panvidya] more before putting them out on the internet to tons of people, to let them just say what they want to say unchecked."

I have very little faith in anything Jimmy Dore says. Like a broken clock, he can sometimes be right but he's usually just an ignorant reactionary desperate for views, which usually ends up drawing more of a right wing audience he knows he needs to placate to an extent. He's left of Tim Pool maybe, but that's not saying much.

Seriously.

I just started Assassin's Creed: Mirage. I feel like an ass, but I basically assassinate every single guard in a complex specifically so that I can more easily run circles around every building four or five time trying to find the one slightly less covered opening that I can throw a knife through in order to break a "bar" across a door on the other side of the room, preventing me from entering the room with what I need. And that game lets you at least change you vision mode to see the mechanism I need to somehow break through the wall/door for a distance. Half the time I fucking look it up because I keep missing the opening or the right angle.

I agree that having a massive shining beacon is a bit obnoxious but when you aim for cluttered realism things become a lot harder to do unless you have a multitude of solutions... but that's much more difficult and expensive to pull off.

Ah yes, children being told by both their families and society in general that you need to go to college in order to not work a fast food job for the rest of your life agreed to take on the debt. I guess they deserve a lifetime of ballooning debt even though the degree didn't stop wages from staying stagnant and inflation destroying their dream of being as successful as their parents.

Lol, I fixed the auto capitalization but didn't notice the spelling change.
