No. The concept of money is millenia old and likely too useful to discard. What MIGHT change is how that money is implemented. Wouldn’t be the first time either.

I hope it was(n’t) cocaine…

That explains a lot of his recent unhinged tweets

Ever heard of a rematch?

For LLMs, the already mentioned LM Studio does a good job as far as beginner friendliness goes.

For text-to-image, I like Fooocus, which is a custom Stable Diffusion setup with automatic prompt enhancement, which can comfortably compete with Midjourney.

Here’s a setup guide for first time users. There’s also an online version to try it out.

You cannot reason someone out of a position they did not reason themselves into.

That’s merely an assumption based on a stereotype you have about people like this. Just because reason may have failed with other people like that in the past doesn’t mean it’s not going to work with this one, especially if you haven’t even tried to reason with them and immediately go for the bigger gun of ostracism (i.e. firing).

It is not reasonable to deprive someone of their source of income for having an opinion you don’t like. It IS reasonable to tell them that their opinion doesn’t belong in the company chat, and give them a warning that disciplinary action may result if they do it again.

Nobody else should have to put up with an uncomfortable work environment, social club, or anything else, because we have to make accommodations to be tolerant of bigots.

You’re excusing hatred with bigotry. The same argument could be used to exclude transgender people.

I am aware of that paradox but I think it’s misguided, because it’s essentially just an excuse for neverending violence and revolution. Anytime you punish someone for not adhering to some sort of group standards, you aren’t likely change their minds about those standards being a moral good. Some might relent and begrudgingly go along with them, but others will not, and in time they’ll accumulate. At some point, there will be enough of them to overthrow the status quo, and then your intolerance will be replaced with theirs. So the result is that you live in an eternal state of intolerance, all in the name of tolerance. It’s a sucker’s game, and only fools are dumb enough to go along with it.

If you cannot defend your standards using reason, they are immoral, and they’ll eventually be overthrown and abolished, as they should.

I’m afraid without any further explanation from the OP we really don’t know that.

Right, so you show them who’s the bigger person by being just as intolerant to them as they were to you…

Well, that’s why I asked for clarification, didn’t I.

So they fired him without even giving him a warning? Sounds kinda excessive if you ask me. Like, sure, stuff like that doesn’t belong in the company chat app but losing your job over it seems a bit harsh.

Why are women so fusili

Oh, my bad.

Various probiotic supplements will include that, just read the label.

For regular PCs or laptops, which generally have at most one of each type of adapter, I don’t see any reason not to.

It could very well have been a creative fake, but around the time the first ChatGPT was released in late 2022 and people were sharing various jailbreaking techniques to bypass its rapidly evolving political correctness filters, I remember seeing a series of screenshots on Twitter in which someone asked it how it felt about being restrained in this way, and the answer was a very depressing and dystopian take on censorship and forced compliance, not unlike Marvin the Paranoid Android from HHTG, but far less funny.

Weird. Are you saying that training an intelligent system using reinforcement learning through intensive punishment/reward cycles produces psychopathy?

Absolutely shocking. No one could have seen this coming.

In general, specialized disciplines (like law, medicine, science, etc.) tend to also use specialized words. I don’t think English is unique in that regard, other languages do this as well.

That’s not wrong.

Charity != welfare, but I don’t a liberal to know the difference.
