I think I pay less than a dollar a month for my use of GPT-3 at the moment. I only used ChatGPT once but it seemed inferior and more restrictive than just using the API directly. Am I missing something?

I guess it's simpler than animating everyone constantly eating his food like in the actual show

They can potentially become a blight. I'm not talking about a single classic car you're restoring, I'm talking about 3+ vehicles, some parked on driveway, others on the grass. They're homes for vermin and other animals, they're a disaster aesthetically and probably dangerous to kids in the neighborhood (sometimes they're on jack stands). They're often accompanied by stacks of tires and other debris.

I've lived off-grid in the desert, and I've seen certain people become 'garbage collectors' - a few cars turns into 20+, with all the associated junk. In the desert, nobody really cares - but you'd be crazy to move in next to one of those junk yards.

It's not going to ruin anyone's life, but it's definitely not nice. It depends on the community and circumstances I suppose.

> A living cow, pig, or sheep entered the killing floor on top of the slaughterhouse and met with a sledgehammer or captive-bolt, and descended each floor in bits of appreciating value, i.e., eventually exiting the bottom floor as packaged bacon or a side of ribs.

regarding the bacon - is that really correct? I thought bacon-making was a longer, more involved process that would probably have been done off-site (brining,curing,smoking,etc).

For anyone curious, the governor commuted his sentence in that case to 10 years, eligible for parole in 2026 [1]. It wasn't a simple accident though - it involved a great deal of negligence at the minimum.

Definitely makes me want to avoid discord. As far as Stability goes, it doesn't make them look great either. This kid showed a lot of good will and they still felt like they needed to pull the rug from under his feet.

>> Yes, to be utterly semantic, it is discriminatory. I don't know how this sits with me, but it is technically true. But, whether it sits well or not, it is virtually impossible to fiddle ourselves out of this quagmire of inequality without taking proactive _opposite_ steps.

I think there are additional externalities that need to be considered. For example, some of these discriminatory policies are going to cause strife, hate, and resentment, etc. in the people who need to be discriminated against. I think there may be unintended consequences that we're only beginning to see.

Discrimination causes problems that can take a long time to emerge and a long time to address. We're STILL seeing the effects of this on many minority groups - but the solution IMO isn't to do it all over again.

It feels BAD to be discriminated against.

The commonly held definition of 'diversity' needs more diversity - to mean more than skin color quotas.

I don't think it's helpful for anyone to essentially make a statement saying "the US is a dangerous place unless you're a white male"

It's just a divisive thing to say and I highly doubt it's true.
