    The anti-woke campaigner brought legal action against Meta – … – after the company’s artificial intelligence chatbot falsely stated he took part in the riot at the US Capitol on 6 January, 2021, seeking $5 million in damages.

    Hold up, you can a convince a chat bot to say something bad about you and then sue that company into giving you a job?

    What the fuck is happening right now?

        Just hold on a minute here, are you telling me that the real estate in the metaverse that I have mortgaged is not a sound investment?

          Oh yeah. Whatever happened to the metaverse? Are they still trying to make content?

      We’re in the dumbest possible timeline.

          That doesn’t disprove my statement.

            No, but it knocks a little wind out of the sail.

                OK, but it’s a really weird - and I think unhelpful - way for people to keep framing reality. Like we’re trying to pretend it’s just some story.

                  Yes, it doesn’t help that it’s an incredibly cliche piece of terminology.

                If there’s only one time line, and you assert that it is the dumbest time line, it follows that it is also the smartest time line. Thereby rendering the statement null. Its not unproven, but neither does it matter.

                  That is a good example of talking to say nothing imo

            As sure as anyone can be.

            For all purposes as far as affects anyone here, yes.
