It’s because it is the result of the action, like a drawing. We just don’t say a built, or a drawn. I’m not sure why we used the gerand in English, but we do.

I’m honestly, honestly convinced that the villification of centrism and liberalism on both leftist and right political ideology is designed to increase disagreement and prevent compromise on political issues, likely for people to focus on race or politics over class issues, or to prevent good faith discussion of issues to prevent social progress.

I know, without a doubt this will be voted down, but I’m actually asking you to think about this critically before both political extremes go down the authoritarian route and it becomes too late to actually unify people to rationale and true dialectics.

Same thing happened to me, I even made my own screenshot so your post was meta IRL

I was shot at once, and in the moment, you’re not sure that you haven’t been shot. Sometimes you can be in shock and not know because of adrenaline, it’s a real thing. It’s hard to explain how things happen in the moment.

I make the exact argument all the time and it gets ignored. I think people fundamentally don’t understand the tech and can’t conceptualize that AI models train the same way we get ideas and schemas from our own observations.

The original is legit creepy af

More like they have an emulated BIOS mode that is still part of UEFI.

Yes, that is exactly the implication
