I feel bad for Indian people. India is one of the most populated countries in the world with an amazing history and culture and all you ever hear is that their men cannot stop themselves from sexually harassing and raping women and their government not only doesn't do anything to stop that but actively encourages it.

The middle east has some of the most valuable natural resource stores in the world with a large and young population. If they got their shit together they'd be economic power houses. Iran has the world's largest zinc deposits yet ranks 30th in the world in zinc production.

Yes! My parents make more than average and I never realized it until I started hanging out with friends as a teenager. I once had a friend who would always come over to play games on my PlayStation/Xbox/Gamecube. I asked him why he didn't ask his parents for a console and some games since he loved playing mine so much. He just responded "dude...my parents can't afford it."
I didn't get it. How could two people working full time not be able to afford a few hundred dollars? His parents were nice enough to tell me their hourly wages. I then asked my parents for theirs. That's when I realized the difference. My parents made 3 times what his parents made. When I mentioned this to my parents, they told me it was his parents' fault for choosing bad jobs. They should have chose to make more money! Obviously! That's when I learned my parents were rich jerks.

Because AI needs a lot of training data to reliably generate something appropriate. It's easier to get millions of reddit posts than millions of research papers.
Even then, LLMs simply generate text but have no idea what the text means. It just knows those words have a high probability of matching the expected response. It doesn't check that what was generated is factual.

How much did you pay for the chunk of his guitar? The one he ruthlessly smashed at the end of the show. And how much will he pay for a brand new guitar? One which he'll ruthlessly smash at the end of another show. And how long will the workers keep building him new ones? As long as their soda cans are red, white, and blue ones

They believe every american at birth is given a secret bank account tied to their social security number worth millions of dollars and this is how you "authorize" someone to draw funds from that account. It gets even better when you ask why would the government create secret bank accounts for people: it's because the government sells babies to cover its debts since they ran out of gold.

When I made the last payment on my student loan I got a similar letter. Something along the lines of "it appears you have made your last payment, but we still need to review the account to confirm. If you dont get another invoice from us then it's all good." I then got an invoice for about $1 which was the interest that gained on the account from the time I mailed the last cheque and the time they cashed it.
I'm going to assume this person sent in something that looked like a payment which triggered the "looks like you made your last payment" letter but then accounting realized the payment was phony and sent an invoice.

I've recently started using the Boost for Lemmy app on my phone and it's amazing. I was using Liftoff before but I'm switching over. However, I've noticed an issue. When I browse through communities using Liftoff I see a lot more posts and comments than when I use Boost. I figured this was an issue with Boost at first, but when I used my computer to edit these screenshots I noticed the same thing happens in my browser! Opening up https://lemmy.world/c/boostforlemmy I see all the posts that Liftoff shows. Of course I'm not logged in since my account is on Lemmy.ca. When I log into Lemmy.ca and view the community though: https://lemmy.ca/c/boostforlemmy@lemmy.world I only see the posts that Boost shows! Many posts are now missing! I figured this is an issue with Lemmy.ca blocking stuff. But wait! The most recent post (titled "Bug: Hiding all read posts also hides...") has the URL https://lemmy.world/post/6954944 which, of course, does not allow me to comment on since I'm not logged in. If I search for that post through Lemmy.ca I find the equivalent post with the URL: https://lemmy.ca/post/7377534 which now allows me to comment on it through my Lemmy.ca account. Does any one know what's going on here? Clearly Lemmy.ca can "see" all the posts in the BoostForLemmy community on Lemmy.world. Even Liftoff manages to show all of them! So why does my browser and Boost for Lemmy not show everything unless I specifically search it out?
