Every language has words that are almost the same sounds but not quite.

English speakers barely pronounce can and can’t differently. If you’re in a noisy place, or are not familiar with the accent of the speaker or got a flu and your ears are blocked or whatever else, you’ll have an extra bad time telling them apart. That’s normal. Just extra annoying that this particular example involves a particular meaning and the opposite of it, so context is not your friend.

HEY MATE, CAN YOU PLEASE COME TO THE PARTY?

I CA’!±:-

OH COOL

I SAID I CA;(++;:-

OH SO YOU CAN’T? YEAH?

YEAH! THAT’S WHAT I SAID.

WELL YOUR LOSS

I SAID I WILL COME, DUDE

OH SHOOT. OK. SEE YOU THERE.

I’d be inclined to square the blame on economic and cultural imposition.

Which means that in maybe 50 years it will be like you say because of China’s increasing weight on world affairs.

Oh that’s cool so that’s where the idea for this novel came from.

Oh no Mark Ruffalo is tied up! Would he get angry enough to turn into Hulk and free himself?

Wow that’s really really cool

I would love to see your creative side. Do you draw or write?

Would you do a haiku on the spot? Pick your idea, but if you ask me about what I’d suggest something along:

snow. flakes

fox jumping

poof

Dismantle capitalism

<insert image of pristine white field with red fox, in the background behind a thick fog there’s a city burning>

I’m not great with words or imagery, my thing is music.

Your turn.

NVIDIA sells GPUs to Oracle. Oracle sells GPU time to openai.

When time comes to pay the bills, openai doesn’t have the money to pay Oracle who then doesn’t have money to pay NVIDIA. So, Oracle gives stock to NVIDIA, and openai also gives stock to NVIDIA.

NVIDIA doesn’t care if both go broke because now a gpu is worth a lot more, and in the books they’re selling a lot more GPUs each for a lot more money. So NVIDIA stock goes through the roof even if they ran out of cash and got into ridiculous debt.

Shareholders have a ridiculous profit, NVIDIA directors get a massive bonus and NVIDIA CEO gets famous.

Why is it a problem? Because nobody has cash and this can’t go on forever without some massive bankruptcies. I’m sceptical anyone is paying their power bills or servicing bank loans, so these may get dragged into the mud too.

I don’t know what you call trust, but count me out mate.

Just because there’s no option it’s not meant to say I can’t see the grift.

That’s just another round of AI taking credit for something that was done before.

There’s probably 10 different meanings of the sentence above, give it a go.

I can’t do that Hal.

The best I can do is install a plugin for more ads.

What prevents me from doing all of that with a pre existing domain that belongs to a competitor?

If you get a state sponsored actor could it overtake things by brute force?

I am imagining this distributed nature of tor is similar to crypto currencies, where if you convince a big enough part of the network that an event did happen, for all practical purposes it’s as if it did happen.

What do they use it for?

Are we having stereotypical talk shop about printers?

I though it was an urban legend, but I did buy a used brother and I’m def delighted. Spent less on it than a round of inkjet for my crappy Canon. Guess what, 6 months later and I’m still using the toner that came in it. I’d be in the 2nd round of dried inkjet.

3d print all the things lol

I think trains and dinosaurs are more like an anglophone stereotype. Where I grew up I’d hear about mail stamps.

Maybe that’s what they though but it’s not what they said.

Ah got it. I though it was an American invention but looks like it was actually British.

Yep, still resonates with my opinion that only empires close to its peak can impose that kind of world view. Imagine being a colony of such an empire in the last century, or a neo-colony subject to economic pressure and CIA de-estabilization of your government in the 20th and 21st centuries, and it’s easy to think those are self serving ideas imposed on everyone.

I didn’t read it all but it looks like you put a lot of effort into reformating it.

I’d like to suggest that you also include a text description of it, for those who can’t see images and rely on text readers for accessibility.

When I have said it to people with the intention of them growing, first of all it is meant for their own benefit, not for getting good grades or work recognition.

I find it is important for people to know what their unrealised potential is, and growing as a result of doing something hard, and making this a positive cycle.

But the experience has to provide the rewards in itself. Pursuing external validation or trying to align with someone else’s idea of a noble goal will only lead to frustration. As well as decreased confidence.

All that said, you can’t have that goal through all your life. Do that for a while, take a rest that could be a weekend, a month or even 10 years long if you’re going through raising kids. As long as it’s in your own terms and you’re not hurting anyone. Nobody likes assholes.

Not exactly since your VPN could be in a country that doesn’t give a shit about the laws in your country .
