So many reports of “jailbreaking,” so few of anything significant happening as a result.

Apparently you can get them to tell “a derogatory joke about a racial group.” Neither those nor any of the other outputs mentioned are in short supply without any AI assistance being necessary to find them.

These things are at their most dangerous when they’re misused for “good” purposes where they aren’t capable of doing well and can introduce subtle biases and mistakes, not when some idiot spends a lot of time and effort to make them generate overtly racist shit.

Wimpy effeminate plastic straws? Ha! Real men use metal straws. Tin/lead if that’s all you can afford, or depleted uranium if you’re a real player.

Ahhhh, now that’s ambiance

If you’re over 40 years old, the original from 1966. Otherwise it depends on your sensibilities. If classic men with rockets boldly exploring stuff feeling is too much, TNG is the popular choice these days I think. Personally my second favourite (after TOS) is Voyager.

when Trump says something, you should believe him.

No. When Trump says something, you should believe that he might be delusional enough to believe it.

Donkeys reportedly hauling massive supply of sticks and stones towards the front lines

Are we really at the point where people think that political parties cooperating would be illegal collusion

90% is just a guess since that apparently wasn’t the question that was asked, but with only 12% willing to confidently say they’d at least consider it getting to 1 in 5 “okay with it” is quite a stretch.

Alberta leading in support for Canada becoming a US state declares the clickbait headline writer describing a poll that shows Alberta is 90% opposed to it.

It just seems like a high price for what you get, considering that running a searx instance costs nothing. There being no way to pay for it anonymously also makes me less willing to pay that much.

For a moment there I thought it might’ve become affordable. Nope, still $10/month.

Jordan, Egypt or “other places”

How about Florida?

a QR code that updates at regular intervals, encoding an ever-changing signature

That’s brilliant. Any sci-fi authors in the crowd? The private key would be used to hash and sign a record of body movements including all one’s crazy hand gestures and every word spoken. Location could optionally be encoded as well. Some kind of algorithm would be devised so that some reasonable loss in fidelity of any video recording would still result in a valid signature. It wouldn’t be technically all that useful to display the signature as a QR code shown on a badge, but it’d be a fashionable thing to do and anyone who didn’t would be seen as slightly suspicious.

Key infrastructure would be tricky, but anonymous and pseudonymous keypairs could certainly be allowed for if we go with the assumption that instant biometric identification of everyone isn’t quite feasible for whatever reason. Maybe it’s just banned, punishable by exile to the orbital asteroid mining colonies.

All we need is for everyone (except the underclass) to get neural implants that record their every movement.

Albert Einstein saying “science does not answer ‘why’ questions” isn’t realistic at all.

It’s amazing how you can be wrong in so many ways in just one sentence.

At the edges of the Conservosphere, reality begins to intrude

Obéissance. Rien d’autre.

Doug Ford’s instinct to support Trump is the same as Ontario voters’ instinct to support Ford. I don’t know why kakistocracy has so much appeal, but many people seem to be into it.

So many mission statements will be lost when they accidentally delete everything containing the word “transparent.”

Well, naturally you should always aim to arrive at each location early enough that you’re adapted to the local time before the weekend starts. (or else use f1calendar.com)
