I don't understand the problem.

My conservative Catholic family thinks the current Pope is a plant by the liberals, so he must be doing something right in my book.

So helicopters with extra steps. Got it.

If your employer fires you suddenly for no reason, there’s no real consequences.

Depends on the industry and location. If they do that a few times in relatively small industry, or in a captured but small market, word gets around and suddenly that company has difficulty hiring in the future.

I will just never understand how so many people look at a broken down car on the side of the highway, then think "what if whatever happened to that vehicle was the same, but 5,000 feet in the air?"

So do cars and trains! They easily take people to the airport, where you can conveniently park your helicopter between uses.

How is either a better or more affordable option than a cheap helicopter? Air taxis using helicopter have existed for decades and fly around urban areas every single day.

Will people still need a pilot's license and all of the associated time + training that requires? Because they will surely also need to have a driver's license and insurance and everything else required of owning a car!

I do not understand the appeal at all unless it's just a refusal to give up on a very specific childhood nostalgia.

Was great to watch some football again!

Mostly commenting to give lurkers the illusion of activity and hopefully stick around for other game threads.

You're just doing the same thing in the opposite direction. Calling his take "fictional" is making a claim, not 'just asking questions'.

They were chanting "hang Pence" and literally, physically building a gallows. The intentions were quite clear.

Wasn't the hair, it was the motor oil black hair dye that Frank Reynolds mixed up for him in his underground salon.

They are not regular civilians, they are public servants and act on behalf of the government. If they want to give up qualified immunity and other special protections that normal citizens don't have, then we can revisit this definition.

Similar to how FBI or IRS agents are not the same as regular citizens but also aren't members of any military branch.

the fact the police are people and some have families and their own wants and needs will mess with anyone’s line of thinking.

Almost like they should be carefully evaluated and trained to make sure they can properly handle tense situations.

Police have to be ready to risk opening the door to confirm a dangerous suspect before they use force to try and save themselves.

Not if they are protected by every level of the system from any possible consequences. So much easier to just assume all citizens are a potential enemy and go in gun's blazing. Just to be safe (for themselves).

That probably already exists, why would one of the many LLM systems out there having to re-train impact anything but that one program?

Computer manufacturers aren't making AI software. If someone uses an HP copier to make illegal copies of a book and then distributes those pages to other people for free, the person that used the copier is breaking the law, not the company that made the copier.

It's just a natural extension of the concept that entities have some kind of ownership of their creation and thus some say over how it's used. We already do this for humans and human-based organizations, so why would a program not need to follow the same rules?

What are your thoughts on the Great Depression or either World Wars?

Drama is like "woke", it means whatever you want it to mean!

This is a legitimate story about the technology industry.

He said he did, at least.

Linus should not have appeared in this video at all. It would have shown that adults are now in charge and that someone can actually tell him "no".
