AI could be a few orders of magnitude more useful than it is now and I still wouldn’t use it because I don’t trust the people on the other end of the chain.

This is not a debate about efficacy for me, it’s a matter of trust. Easy for NVIDIA to tell their employees to run their AI. But I can’t afford to trust an agent of a corporation to integrate itself into my life in that way.

Yes, you want the dispute separate ASAP. But you also want eyes on it and in a place you can do something about it ASAP. What you don’t want is a victim stuck in a bathroom with danger between them and help.

You want it in the hallway because you can monitor the hallway, you’re not waiting for the neighbors to report it to you if it spills out there. It’s not your employee’s word vs theirs like it will be if you have to push your way into that bathroom. Hotels aren’t thinking of customer satisfaction or cleaners’ inconvenience over their liability once a situation gets to this point.

If the hallway is the only egress, that’s where they’ll flee. And for many of your lower tier disputes, someone going into the hall will be the end of it.

As to the door breaking, that’s kinda my point. You replace wooden doors with more fragile and expensive glass doors so that you can charge the guests when they inevitably break the doors.

I can think of a whole bunch of reasons why hotels went this route.

It forces domestic disputes out of rooms instead of creating a cell inside.

Glass doors are another item they can charge you for breaking

No door would help alleviate moisture/condensation from just sitting in a closed bathroom

Ups the chance acquaintances book multiple rooms instead of sharing one

I was there last month, I can confirm the tree is at least one month old.

Coming soon to a theater near you

This is the latest one I’ve been wearing out.

Any one of the three has a whole library of mixes worth looking into so to get them all together you know it’s gonna be great. Especially when they put a constraint on like no drums.

I distinctly remember my American History teacher junior year saying Barack would be the next Dem nominee after his DNC speech. This would have been 2004.

John, what do you know about non-sexual, same-sex cuddling?

It’s a 4 person co op game. There’s a local chat for those you’re in with, but that’s it.

Six Feet Under (HBO). It’s hilarious. It’s devastating. You’ll loathe and love each character. Probably my favorite finale of a show, ever.

Terriers (no idea where to find it right now, it aired on USA I think?). Quirky private investigator show that should have been given more than a season.

Patriot (Amazon). Spy meets depression, meets hilarity. Worth it just for the rochambeau.

RIP to the guy who kinda wrote the X-Men theme song?

Yes, that one there officer. He tried to put a Kraft Single in my bra.

Fuck Rupert Murdoch

Put paint in the bucket and it’s a paint gun.

Someone out there is looking at the people mad about chatgpt losing personality and they’re gonna cram it into games.

It’s not just your wifi, it’s any wifi. Best start building a Faraday cage.

Not really a slow burn, but its got elements of sci fi, rom com, and drama all rolled into one. I’d say it’s best leg is the romance/drama.

On another level, it’s kinda Jonze’s… reply(?) to Sofia Coppola’s Lost in Translation. Or a custody battle over Scarlett Johansson, idk.
