While this is factually true and I completely agree with the sentiment behind it, I never liked how trauma changing your brain is presented as something extraordinary. Every experience changes the brain; learning, healing, trauma, physical and chemical input in the form of injury and drugs/medicine, even plain day to day living. After all that’s what the brain does.

And here I am, expecting to see some snack food.

I am gong to make a broad, sweeping statement that will ignore lots of individual cases.

Main reason is Improper Socialisation. Those dogs have learned to understand and trust humans but had limited, and in the cases where they quickly get aggressive, often negative contact to other dogs.

They have lived their whole life with humans. Humans are safe, predictable and understandable. They learned to read humans. This is in fact the main trait we bred dogs for this last ca. 40.000 years.

But because they have not really learned to interact with other dogs they get insecure, because these unpredictable things are running around. They are sometimes loud, oftentimes hectic. This insecurity can then change to aggression if the dogs see no other way out of the situation.

I am ignoring personality right now, as individual dogs will react differently under the same circumstances, but the first reaction of most dogs will be to get out of a perceived threat. First by signaling via posture, eyes, ears and tail then by running or warning it of. It takes a lot of training, known or unknown by the owner, to get a dog to the point where it reacts violently as a first choice.

Cat leather bag, and cat based roasts are the backbone of every proper fortress. Just next to alcohol and offering the treehuggers wooden items out of spite.

by mistake?

Nice one. Really like the depth of field you chose.

Concerning angels there is only one important rule.

DO. NOT. BLINK.

Grafiti can be art, but even when skillfully executed it is still vandalism if the owner of the facade did not aquiesce.

Not op. But sounds like a red light/ir-filter; full spectrum below 680nm wavelength is allowed to pass

Great situation with the rising cost of food. Now we can just start cooking those giant rats.

The original saying is “If it looks stupid but it works it’s not stupid.” There might even be a kernel of truth in there. But to quote the Maxims: “If it is stupid and it works it is still stupid and you’re lucky.”

Edit: I stand corrected on the first part. I still stand by the Maxims.

While you are correct that there likely is no intention and certainly no self-awareness behind the scheming, the researchers even explicitly list the option that the AI is roleplaying as an evil AI, simply based on its training data, when discussing the limitations of their research, it still seems a bit concerning. The research shows that given a misalignment between the initial prompt and subsequent data modern LLMs can and will ‘scheme’ to ensure their given long-term goal. It is no sapient thing, but a dumb machine with the capability to decive its users, and externalise this as shown in its chain of thought, when there are goal misalignments seems dangerous enough. Not at the current state of the art but potentially in a decade or two.

As a general rule, I would discard any product where an unpleseant and/or bitter aroma is not exlicitly expected. Our senses of tase and smell are very good at distinguishing “good”, that is energy dense and clean, food from " bad", that is mostly rotten or contaminated, food. I have little experience with cheese making but if any doughs or yoghurts I make start to smell or taste bitter or otherwise off, it is usually because the microfauna got out of hamd and malign bacteria started overproducing.

And according to the meme Format One Piece will still oblitterate Sesame Str.

Hey. I will have you know that this magnificent beard is a sign of martial prowess and masculinity. I could easily cut you in half with any of my katanas but would find it easiest with the bat’leth, with which I have trained extensively for some time. Of course I would not have to wield the blade myself, as I can simply use my programming skills on my arch setup to program a robot to do so.

I did not need that mental picture. Thanks a lot.
