Just as having a drinking age never stopped those under it from drinking.

Yes it absolutely does.

Author: Michael Lydick. I’m guessing his middle name is Claude.

How do you inflict a mass casualty with encyclopedias and electric motors?

“Sir, our model has caused several explosions around the globe resulting in hundreds of thousands dead and people rioting against us.”

“No! MY PROFIT!”

(I wish I could add an /s.)

Atari still exists??

Okay, so it was in dialect. I honestly would not have expected translation programs to be able to do that at all. Or are Finnish dialects actually written language? In German they aren’t, but there are books written in a phonetical way in dialect, so there may be something for the AI to reference.

Nantucket. You’re Ishmael and you’re finishing the job, no matter how many whales you need to butcher. With cards and dice. And sea shanties.

Is this supposed to be a meta comment to show that machine translation can’t help us read it?

Edit: If it is, well DeepL manages a pretty coherent translation:

Yeah, I feel the same way. All the fancy stuff in this field—those sub-rhythms and whatnot—aren’t really a solution at all. Just yesterday I learned that even the pros can’t always get the grammar right, even though I thought they could. I messed around with this a little, but I couldn’t really figure out how to make it work! That part at the beginning sounds like total crap, but it’s actually pretty funny to listen to and watch.

I’m guessing “sub-rhythm” should be “algorithm” and “pros” probably means software and not people. The last sentences could use some more context. But otherwise this sounds kinda logical.

Now Google Translate…

Yeah, I’m so sorry. All the fine things in this world, but those little things and the like, don’t solve the problem. Yesterday, I just didn’t study properly, I thought so. That’s a little bit of a huastelloopi, and it’s not good for you, but it’s not a big deal! Kuukkels, that’s why it’s always fun to play with the balls, it’s just fun to play with the balls and the girls.

…yeah.

And people saying things like that wonder why nobody wants to talk to them. Thanks for providing a great example in the failings of the education system.

Entomology? I’m not sure where insects come into it.

I’m not responsible for other people deciding to buy shit.

Or we can watch those YouTubers to still partake in Nintendo games while not buying anything.

We should call it the inferior (infernal? “infreme”?) court instead.

Plate tectonics was only accepted in the sixties (but I doubt your story was that long ago). I don’t know what it is about geologists that makes them drop the ball so hard.

Don’t expect a pill to take you back to 21 any time soon. This trial is still in its beginning stages, and cellular reprogramming led to cancerous cells forming in some early research in mice. Plus, the company’s co-founder, Harvard geneticist David Sinclair, has a history of overhyping his longevity treatments.

Sooo… make your cells younger, and also get cancer?

Isn’t the idea at least interesting?

Sure, if you’re asking what to write in your next fantasy novel. This topic is about reality.

Ok, so can someone sue the NSA now because it collaborates with a company designated as supply chain risk?

Thank you. It wasn’t there for me on regular Firefox + uBlock extension, but I got it now.

If they’re ranking you based on AI usage, they’re going to use that when they make decisions about raises and promotions.

By not promoting the people on top of the ranking who can’t do things without AI and waste a lot of resources, right?

…right?

I didn’t see a list like that in the Ublock Origin settings. Is it an importable list and do you have a link?
