For anyone wondering, the PhD student's name is Myra Cheng.

Here's a link to an article about the study from the Stanford Report: link.

[chapscher]

Across three preregistered studies, participants interacting with sycophantic AI became more convinced of their own rightness and less willing to repair relationships. Yet at the same time, participants rated sycophantic AI models as higher quality, more trustworthy, and more desirable for future use, which may explain why this behavior has persisted despite its harmful impacts.

does anyone know what brand this little guy is? i used to play with these at a children’s museum when i was a child so they are very nostalgic to me :3 i found some listings on ebay but they don’t say the brand on them. if it helps, they are from the early 2000’s at the latest (could be older)

There are a lot of people who start creative projects with no business or financial plan, because "who cares, it isn't important, we'll figure that out later". And you can't let yourself become that person. Not because I'm a sneering finance bro who thinks your woke animated youtube series wont make money, but because if you don't you'll wind up financially exploiting your friends for years

[hmantegazzi]

This also applies to other kinds of projects as well, and it's particularly relevant in academia, where there's already a high ambient level of "you're a secular monk and you should be doing this for free for the betterment of humanity" attitude.

Don't.

Get sure you'll be able to pay for all the work you need done before starting a new project.

The suburbs dream of violence. Asleep in their drowsy villas, sheltered by benevolent shopping malls, they wait patiently for the nightmares that will wake them into a more passionate world.

Pasadena police "horseplay" accident

[gunsandfireandshit]

Rules of gun safety:

1. Have fun and be yourself

2. Pointing loaded guns at your friends is always funny

3. Trigger discipline is overrated

[trickstertime]

The wildest thing I learned about this video is not that cops in America are shooting each other by accident, I sort of expected that to be honest, its the people in the notes saying variations of "ah, yea, that police department use XYZ gun. It probably went off by itself, that model does that". Excuse me?? What are you talking about. Not only is there guns available that sometimes go off by themselves(???) but a whole police department are using them?? On purpose????

[balaclava-trismegistus]

Yeah no the Army adopted it in in 2017, as the M17, to replace the Beretta 92. It's basically a Glock clone, but without some of the safety features of the Glock. There was a whole fiasco about the guns just randomly going off, which seems to be a problem caused by their outsourcing metal injection molding parts, specifically the striker, which is sort of a combination hammer and firing pin. The P320 (the gun in question) was competing with a Glock offering in the M17 program. They skipped phase 2 trials, where they'd actually subject the handguns to testing for things like drop safety and reliability in adverse conditions, because SIG offered the army a price of around $250 per unit. The P320 became very popular with law enforcement, replacing Glock handguns (which are basically the same thing) due to the extremely low prices being offered by SIG. Then the guns just started randomly going off because of these manufacturing defects. They managed to ignore it for a couple years, until law enforcement organizations started banning the guns by name, and there was at least one wrongful death suit filed because somebody was killed by one of these things randomly going off on its own in a holster. As an aside, I have personally handled one such example of these handguns which exploded and destroyed its frame twice. They're straight up dogshit. Police departments are selling them off like crazy.

SIG also makes the M7 rifle that was recently adopted, which is going back to an incredibly stupid "battle rifle" concept that uses far heavier weapons and ammunition than what America's military has used for damn year sixty years, which we switched to in order to get away from exactly this "battle rifle" concept. That only exists because congress got freaked out about the idea that our soldiers couldn't penetrate body armor nobody uses from distances nobody would be fighting at. The M7 rifles use an incredibly high-pressure cartridge that were destroying barrels after around 2000 rounds. The initial contract for the armor piercing load of this cartridge that the whole system was adopted for was over twenty united states dollars per round. There's also this cool thing they were doing where you could push laterally on the muzzle and the barrel would just bend and stay that way for one shot, causing the zero of the weapon to wander all over the place. The M7 is already being chopped down and made into the M8 carbine. This all comes after they recently updated the M4 carbine and a massive survey was conducted at the beginning of all this asking service members how they feel about their weapons. Everybody said they loved the M4 and they were very happy with it, especially after the new bullet they came up with. Then they went forward and decided they're replacing it with the M7. Because they're all idiots.

SIG is essentially an arms megacorp. They've spent the last decade winning contracts left and right for shit they've never made before, or just with really shitty product. It's pretty obvious there's some major corruption going on with all this. They were previously a Swiss-based company known mostly for making particularly good handguns. They actually competed against the Beretta 92 in the previous M9 program in 1985. The only reason the Beretta was chosen over the Sig 226 from the time is the Beretta was cheaper. Now, about thirty years later, SIG USA (essentially a different company from the Swiss Sig) has marketed what is essentially the cheapest gun they can in order to beat Glock at their own game. Which makes a fucking dangerous gun.

I’m so pro abortion I feel insane hearing any other take on it

Even lefties I know will eventually concede to some situation where they think it’s right to force someone to carry a child against their will as if that’s not one of the most inhumane and cruel situations to put someone in regardless of any other factors
