That slightly poor wording choice was my entire point.

I'm only countering your claim where you seem to be suggesting that the term AGI was made up to market LLMs. It wasn't - that term has existed for a long time.

Are you genuinely attributing your sense of life dissatisfaction to the fact that billionaires haven't died or been killed yet or are you just saying the popular thing for applause?

I'm not unhappy either. I'm relatively content with my life. Things could be better but they could be much worse too.

Roaming free is dangerous to all wildlife.

Some kind of a wild cat like Ocelot would be cool assuming they could behave themselves but since they can't, a normal house cat is just fine too.

In most cases when something is convenient you're giving something up for that convenience.

Rechargeable Eneloops are Ni-Mh which makes the nominal voltage 1.2V where as the voltage on an Alkaline battery is 1.5V. The rechargeable ones are worse than normal Alkaline batteries. You can get rechargeable 1.5V Lithium AA batteries from Nitecore. Those are much better than Ni-Mhs.

Cancel all the work I've got lined up and go on a drug induced spending spree to try and use up all my savings.

You can't be seriously suggesting that being in a sexual minority is somehow tied to one's political leaning. Depending on the poll roughly 2 to 9 percent of the US population identify as LGBT. That is of the total population, not just Democrats. The extremists on the far right spouting hatred toward gays don't represent the right as a whole any more than the far-left antisemites do. They're simply holding the rest of the group hostage as hardly anybody dares to speak up. The gays on the right are under just as much oppression as the gays on the left - possibly even more.

If you make it a left-wing event you're by definition excluding everyone not identifying with leftism. It's one of the few things that should unite the left and the right but instead it gets politicized to the point that even people in that minority like myself turn against the whole Pride ideology.

Which sexual minorities wouldn’t feel welcome at left-wing-events?

The right-leaning ones.

Being gay is not a left-wing position. A Pride march is a claim about sexual orientation and gender, not a general anti-oppression festival. By making it a left-wing event you're making roughly 50% of sexual minorities not feel welcome there. Pride is supposed to be about tolerance and inclusivity but these people are making it conditional.

Pride flags being present in other events doesn't weaken my argument but just further highlights it. That is exactly the same thing as flying a Palestinian flag in a Pride event. It does not belong there.

 

The eagle sounds like a disappointed gull.
