Actually we were discussing why 12-14 year old girls in the UK feel the need to carry knives and hatchets for their protection.

They don't is the real answer.

The media *loves* to exaggerate.

Lol.

Look, it happens. There is knife crime. Due to guns being illegal.

Is it as common as the media shouting about "knife epidemics" and "omg our little girls are carrying knives because they don't feel safe"? No.

I'd encourage you to look up statistics of knife crime in the Uk and see how many of those are girls aged 12-14.

Spoiler - not many.

pretty sure the girls carry knives because of the epidemic of rape gangs, not because they're the ones committing knife crime

so AI isn't totally wrong that it's a safety issue, but it did kind of gloss over the real problem

Hatchets are designed to be one handed axes.
Seeing as the very first axes were unifacial hand axes what we call hatchets ARE axes and what we call axes are actuality two handed axes.

Bit like all of us I am much more used to current nomenclature.

Believe all women, except when the women are from the UK and/or they are under 15; which makes sense because those arent women, those are girls.

Gotcha, I'll update my notes on this one, I'm trying really hard to conform to these 2025 standards of being a good person.

'Lizzie Borden took an axe
And gave her mother 40 whacks
When she saw what she had done
She gave her father 41'

It was a hatchet if you are basing it on the Elizabeth Montgomery movie.

Anywho...I'll be in the UK for much of October, so I'll watch out for girls with sharp metal objects.

If you use paypal to crysta up, make sure paypal didn't *** you over the weekend by switching your defaults.

They gave no warning, no confirmation, no email, nothing, switched primaries without acknowledgement.

I don't know if like it's been so long that the bank info needs to be re-verified or what, no information given.

Are you referring to my post? The content in my post didn't come from AI, it came from media. AI gave me links to internet articles then I clicked on it, and copy and pasted what the media said.

So if you think the content from the media isn't in-depth, that's not AI problem, it's media's problem.

Also media has tendency to exaggerate and simplify complicated issues, or write contents that their reader wants to read. So media content not being in-depth is also a common problem.

If you want real in-depth knowledge of one particular issue, you should read actual opinion from real people involved (raw material), then summarize those raw data yourself for the conclusion.

If someone lacks media literacy, avoiding AI isn't going to solve this problem. Questioning every media content for being fake isn't a good idea either. The only good solution is increase media literacy skill so you can tell which content from AI/media can be used and which should be questioned, collect or search for raw data yourself if necessary. Avoiding them completely doesn't solve media literacy problem.

Since AI has more data than most humans and it doesn't have emotional weakness, this is probably a compliment. A worse AI than AI is better than nothing.

Sweet, turns out bank threw a shitfit that firefox updated and disconnected all account connections for "safety reasons"

*** fantastic.

"new protocols" Every firefox update counts as a new device. new device means you got hacked. Sounds like new bank to me.

been playing wow classic. as if /yell spam wasn't bad enough to require a filter on ffxi, in wow they send constant unsolicited guild invites until you ignore them. you can block all invites globally or blist people individually, but still extremely annoying
Moving from FFXI to WoW back in 2006 was such a culture shock for me when it came to player interaction and ettiquite lol

To be happier, people need enlightenment, not AI


If I need enlightenment, I go read novels written by PKD, visit art gallery, or play board games/trpg with friends.

I use AI when I need to solve calculus problems, and optimize financial strategy using math.

Doing math manually it not enlightenment, it's torture. Letting AI do the optimization math work so I can do something else is enlightenment.

Yes, AI makes me happier. ;)

Sharp fingernails too. I used to grow weapons and tools on the ends of my fingers. Then I got old and my nails got brittle.
