Were the bologna and the asbestos condoms at any point related?

Yes. An LLM is just a model trained on a large corpus of text, which DeepL absolutely is. It uses a transformer architecture – which literally could not work without it.

Oh, wow. That’s, you know,

gaudy. Thank you for the source. (Edit: Apparently “pencil tower” is the common term. Neat.)

Seriously: send it all straight into the Hudson River. Who needs “detention ponds” to “offset flood risk”?

(Also, I know this is AI slop, but what’s up with those downright columnar towers in the background? 😭)

The new Silent Hill is looking great.

Mark, this is good news.

Wrong comm, OP?

For a camper that probably already gets like five feet to the cubic meter? It matters. The exposed area is probably like 1/5 the size of the front of the vehicle, and most of the driving you’re doing with one of those is highway.

… are the same that perform dockings.

She was pronounced dead on the scene

I’ve… done things you people wouldn’t believe…

Erections dribbling precum on the shoulder of the New Jersey Turnpike.

I watched semen glitter in the dark in the LHC.

All those… moments… will be lost in time, like jizz on the floor of a Kwik Trip bathroom.

Time… to nut.

but were they not making a comment on the overall situation and not this specific example?

Headline reads (changed after OP posted): “targeting missile sites and boats”

They write: “DID they strike boats and other Iranian sites? Maybe. Who’s to say?”

I appreciate that you’re giving them an (extreme) benefit of the doubt, but they never so much as imply that, and they’re clearly raising doubt about this specific example; even the comment below you is running another line of defense for this specific case – trying to subtly frame it as logical because I didn’t link to the Iranian state media BBC News says reported the sound of explosions. (Of course if I had, or if I link to this article from the AP today, then it would be some other stupid bullshit, because the real problem that I can’t fix is Lemmy’s collective delusion that reading past the headline isn’t a basic expectation when you write a comment like this.)

Lemmy taken overall is persistently intellectually lazy and even more persistently in denial when called out. This is the most basic shit you’d expect of someone running to the comments and screeing about something that’s effectively solved by just reading, and yet pointing out that their comment wouldn’t exist if they’d just done 30 seconds of reading is still controversial.

Iranian state media had earlier reported that local officials in Bandar Abbas were investigating after explosions were heard.

Maybe you’d know if you read the article (read: whose headline) you’re commentating about.

This explanation is the wrong intuition for why space can expand FtL. It’s an understandable one to infer, but the balloon one further down is correct and the one most commonly used by cosmologists for a lay audience.

Our current understanding of recessional velocity works by Hubble’s law, and that linear equation imposes no such 2x cap.

Chicagoan air strike is en route

Shit.

Freedom subject to the instance you are signed up to (and posting to)

Referring to the underlying software, not to moderation. Which is sort of a corollary to federation, but not entirely when you look at something like Bluesky where you can federate but don’t truly run your own “Bluesky”. Sure there’s implicit trust in what the instance is running since you aren’t auditing it, but I’m willing to see shades of grey and that this is better in that regard than corporate social media.

If you are looking for this in a community called “Lemmy Shitpost”

Not really (although a number of people on Lemmy put in the effort to make clever, homebrewed shitposts, which is beside the point). Sometimes Lemmy Shitpost just has funny stuff that makes for a more well-rounded social media experience. I never said I’m only looking for thought-provoking interactions; intelligent company doesn’t have to be self-serious. The whole reason I even made my original comment is that I’m persistently disappointed that I can’t walk into a thread about an obvious fiction made as a joke and think that Lemmy collectively understands the difference. Something that is funny turns into a source of frustration when I consider user behavior I’ve seen on Lemmy before.

but the people you’re speaking of (ones who don’t check the community name before taking this for granted) are probably not going to be reading these comments either

Genuinely fair, well-considered point. I appreciate it and will consider it more heavily the next time I see something like this.

• I like the Reddit/threadiverse format.
• I like the fact that it’s free as in freedom.
• I like federation.
• I like that there are intelligent people; the collective is extremely frustrating and intellectually lazy, but there are actual thought-provoking interactions by people who put in actual effort.

You’ll be tagged as the one who thought a shitpost was serious

Please do tag me; tag me as the one who didn’t think a shitpost was serious but that Lemmy users collectively cannot be trusted to tell the difference.
