It doesn't work so well for things that are professionally written and edited, in my opinion. I saw a similar statement in a thread about an nytimes article.

Em-dashes were not invented by AI, publications used them before, it's not strange that someone whose job is to write will use them, and its not strange that something professionally edited may have em-dashes added to it. It's only a tell when someone who has never before used one before (or is not likely to have ever used one before) suddenly starts throwing them around like candy.

And its listed on the Shenzhen stock exchange as a public company.

Well it's not non-existent either, there are a fair number of onlyfans models (and also general actors in the field of pornography who do the same) who do escorting on the side.

those are different things.

How? What are the mechanisms in which AI will lead to farms and greenhouses being more productive? How will AI improve the existing automation that already exists for the farming sector, and has existed for a hundred years?

Also it's fun having a drink or two!

"Reuters was not immediately able to establish how the fee would be administered. Lutnick said the visa would cost $100,000 a year for each of the three years of its duration but that the details were "still being considered.""

"Lutnick said on Friday that "all the big companies are on board" with $100,000 a year for H-1B visas. "We've spoken to them," he said."

Why wouldn't we just use your competitors engines instead.

And just so we're clear on what some of those surely great conversations were, to say what he meant, without him being mean, to talk across divides, here's some of the guy's ideals:

"If you’re a WNBA, pot-smoking, Black lesbian, do you get treated better than a United States marine?"

"Happening all the time in urban America, prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people, that’s a fact. It’s happening more and more."

"Reject feminism. Submit to your husband, Taylor. You’re not in charge." – Discussing news of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement

"We need to have a Nuremberg-style trial for every gender-affirming clinic doctor. We need it immediately."

"The American Democrat party hates this country. They wanna see it collapse. They love it when America becomes less white."

"The great replacement strategy, which is well under way every single day in our southern border, is a strategy to replace white rural America with something different."

"America has freedom of religion, of course, but we should be frank: large dedicated Islamic areas are a threat to America."

"Islam is the sword the left is using to slit the throat of America."

"There is no separation of church and state. It’s a fabrication, it’s a fiction, it’s not in the constitution. It’s made up by secular humanists."

Can't lionize a guy for promoting what he believed in without saying what he believed in.

And since we need a disclaimer in all these threads: I don't care about the guy before or after his death, I don't agree with him at all, and I think his views were pretty bad, pretty bad.

they feel like scams and when I've accidentally ordered from a ghost kitchen it was by design a terrible experience.

I'm talking like, you order a 15$ main that is called "creamy pasta with prosicutto" and when it shows up its buttered spaghetti with a couple stamp-sized bits of ham. Ordering from actual restaurants come with some of the downsides the article assigns to ghost kitchens, like cold food and weird presentation, but ghost kitchens never seemed to reach the bar of "food someone would actually order, even if it was teleported to them instantly".

I still just blame it on being old though.

And as a fun note: one of them is now his Vice President and the other is the Secretary of Health.

Probably, I doubt anyone in the US government has a consistent view of what immigration laws are _and_ how they're actually enforced. Whole thing feels like a giant slapdash of things thrown together and assessed in whatever way feels right that day.

Here's a fun one: do people born in Hong Kong count as being born in China for green card purposes? Used to be no, then Trump 1 said "yes" with an executive order, then as best I can tell no one in government really enforced that, then immigration lawyers tell me they're counted as rest of world instead of China, and now? Who the hell knows, whoever gets your case probably makes up what they feel is the law.
