Well yes, he’s just not up to snuff on atacc at the moment.

Don’t make it conditional. That’s how we got into this * waves arms around * mess.

This. To pick up the pieces and clean up the mess.

They’re shifting it however - if I commit something that the AI generated but it breaks something, it’s on me because I should have caught it, which basically means that it takes me about as long or sometimes even more than it would have to just do an it myself outright, but whatever rocks your boat chief.

I think it’s been explained, but to reiterate, while humans aren’t fast, we’re very good at walking/trotting for extended periods of time - both because we have sweat glands that many animals lack, but also because bipedal locomotion is more efficient over a long distance.

Our earlier ancestors would set out after a herbivore, say an aurochs (the bigger the better), during the hottest part of the day, and cause it to flee. When it stopped to cool, they’d jog up after it and caused it to run away again, until it got so hot that it collapsed from heatstroke.

We’re having steak, boys!

Hard pass. I feel that this is one of those cases where ignorance is bliss.

GPT?

Damn if a human had that cat’s poise they’d be at risk of being made a king or something.

Sounds like bliss. Things I’d pay to forget, but the memory munchers come for the good bits.

Yeah but it’s like 9/11, all it will do is allow even crazier nutjobs to feel vindicated and make things even worse.

I’m gonna say that fighting a war does things to a person’s brain. And maybe there’s some personality patterns that predispose people to enlist. Then there’s the conditioning that allows someone to kill another human with no remorse…

Most of which doesn’t apply to your regular hooligans, so I have no idea…

I was expecting “credit”.

Well you might have to bite your neighbour if they challenge your claim.

That joke is so basic…

Has to be. There’s no way you bend a steak as cleanly as that Cali.

My issues were with h265/HEVC support, proprietary stuff like media codecs can sometimes be a pain. I no longer have that need so I’m a happy fox.

Ok but I mean, how many of those birds are pigeons and rats? That’s a service…

Edit: i was incorrect. Mist, steam or fog are no longer water vapor (ie, water in gaseous state), but condensed water droplets.

Ok that’s one fucked up family. Out of all of them, god only saw fit to smite one of them? Sheesh.

Well the article says that

the brother of a man who died without children is permitted and encouraged to marry the widow. However, if either of the parties refuses to go through with the marriage, both are required to go through a ceremony known as halizah, involving a symbolic act of renunciation of their right to perform this marriage.

So, permitted and encouraged, but not forced into it. Except by god it seems.

To add to this, the most closely related passage in the bible is in Genesis 38, where this guy Onan was ordered to have children with his brother’s widow so the child could inherit his brother’s estate.

This seems to me a bit outside your usual family obligations, and so did the guy because while he engaged in sexual intercourse, he “spilled his seed” on the ground to avoid fulfilling this familial duty.

God didn’t think much of that and killed him on the spot.

The tale is usually linked more to the “sin” of contraception, but it seems like a much more pragmatic story: it’s best you knock up your brother’s widow than have everyone start a war over the spoils.
