If someone generated a website whole-cloth from an LLM, how can we trust anything on it?

Looks like nvAlt didn’t pull the database storage upgrades from the new NV. There are GH issues of people losing data from older versions so I’d assume those bugs remain.
The nvAlt commits are rapid fire and no longer come from elasticThreads, so I’m assuming the other author is just vibe coding now without understanding the original codebase.

No AI, except that it’s obvious this website HTML was generated entirely with AI.

It’s not really a matter of being surprised, is it? It’s a matter of whether they should be mercenary in the first place. Claiming that some behavior was expected is just another way to shut down criticism through cynicism.

Sounds like touch screens on laptops are so great! I sure am excited about the future of touch screen Macs! /s

Administering phase 3 drug trials is the most expensive part of the process by far. They conveniently put that at the end.

At a certain point we just have to consider them all participants in a single oligarchic conspiracy to overturn democracy. If we cannot get justice through the system then it will have to be done by the masses themselves.

They have also arrested citizens simply for driving in their own car proximate to an ICE kidnapping. But if we preemptively act like we have no rights then they've already won.

European countries have been embracing and funding free software at all levels of government and business at an accelerating rate, and doing so with the same ethos of personal freedom and autonomy. It would make sense to continue to that trajectory in other technological areas.

CBP believes it has the right to files saved locally on your device itself. However explicitly cloud-hosted data (that is not stored on the device) is supposed to be off-limits, as I understand it.
And keep in mind that American citizens cannot be denied entry to the country for refusing to unlock or hand over their devices. They might hold you for a little while, but they cannot stop you.

Voter Protection Program: Countering Lies about the 2020 Presidential Election
https://statesuniteddemocracy.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01...
Ballot Harvesting
Myth: Nevada’s expansion of mail-in voting resulted in illegal ballot harvesting and fraudulent votes for mail-in ballots.
Facts: Nevada courts found no fraud for any votes, including mail-in votes.
“The Court finds there is no evidence that voter fraud rates associated with mail in voting are systematically higher than voter fraud rates associated with other forms of voting. …[T]he illegal vote rate totaled at most only 0.00054 percent.”30
• Nevada voters followed the law with respect to the ballot collection.
• Secretary Cegavske, a Republican, defended the integrity of the election. In fact, Secretary Cegavske issues her own “myth versus fact” document that debunks all these conspiracies. She states that “we have yet to see any evidence of wide-spread fraud.” She noted that four separate cases questioned the integrity of the election in Nevada. In all cases, “[a]fter examining records presented, each case was discounted due to a lack of evidence.” She said that “we have not been presented with evidence of non-citizens voting in the 2020 election.”

>When the Democrats can get away with literal murder in many cases...
>If Democrats in power are just going to break the law...
Citation? And do you think that one person breaking the law absolves someone else?

The practice of deliberately engineering software without full understanding of the implementation, especially when it comes to robotics, should be illegal. Technology serves society alone and it should progress at a pace that is sustainable for adaption. Your excitement for a “singularity” does not outweigh someone else’s health and safety.
