Thank you for the very interesting peak behind the curtain!

I generally make it a policy to try my best to never be angry at workers who aren’t in the top 1% of income distribution. Usually problems like this arise because corporate has bad policies which result in workers unable to adequately address the situation.

It shouldn’t be up to the customer to police this. The CFIA needs to be doing a few more spot checks to ensure compliance.

Although I suppose any fines are effectively going to get passed on to the consumers anyways. :/

It’s been a thinly veiled secret that the dentistry industry in Canada is rife with charlatans recommending and performing unbeneficial procedures. It shouldn’t be too surprising that there’s going to be an increase in scrutiny on these practices, and that it’ll result in a lot of rejected requests.

I just hope it doesn’t end up going too far in the opposite direction, and necessary procedures are cancelled or delayed.

That said, it also seems like a lot of these rejected claims are from mistakes in the filing process, and these should lessen as providers get acclimated.

Is this not illegal?

AI has been a well established field of computer science for over 50 years. While LLMs are certainly a part of that field, it’s technically incorrect to conflate the two.

Just using “LLM” is also a bit over-specific, however, as it’d exclude text-to-image models, and others. “GenAI” is probably the most correct term to use to refer to the transformer-based deep neural networks that have become popular in the last several years.

That said, language prescriptivism is rarely effective. So while I agree it’s incorrect to call this “AI”, good luck getting laypeople to use the correct technical language from a field they mostly have very limited knowledge of.

I’m always sad when tomatoes season ends. IMO tomatoes are the singular item with the biggest difference between grocery store and local heirloom ones. It’s like night and day.

I suppose you’re right. It’s irresponsible to let him plead stupidity for fleecing us, when it’s all very calculated.

Carney can’t decide if he wants elbows up or not. In fact, he flipflops so much, he looks like hes doing the chicken dance.

Based and mikupilled.

Sorry, I should’ve been more specific. Its a Pentium III Coppermine-based Celeron. Its the only chip Intel sold that ran at that clock speed.

Post it as a code block, and maybe it’ll format better?

Edit: nope. Monospaced makes it look very silly. Lol

I didn’t know either, so here you go:

The Flipper Zero is a portable multi-functional hacking device developed for interaction with access control systems.[1] The device is able to read, copy, and emulate RFID and NFC tags, radio remotes, iButtons, and digital access keys.

I gotchu fam. In this picture, @OuRKaos@lemmy.today is clearly not with Epstein:

That’s a Pentium III Coppermine CPU in there, placing it around 2000 to 2001, so that means it’ll be $1,200.

If you inflation adjust it, judging by current food and housing prices, it’s probably closer to $10k. 🙃

For being so left leaning, it’s disappointing that Lemmy is this wishwashy on veg*nism. They’ll “support” your decision to practice it yourself, but suggesting that their actions aren’t victimless will still get you a lot of hate here.

The phantasms of carnism still run deep, I guess. Being forced to confront ideas that make people reassess who they are is always a challenging process.

My go to is: “Because if I were an animal, I wouldn’t want to be eaten.”

I find it stradles the line of maximal honesty and minimal confrontation.

PTB. If everything you say is accurate, the mods did not handle that in an appropriate manner.

If they have a blanket rule against AS, then they should enforce it. If they wanted to preserve open discussion, they should’ve asked the the other user to ammend their comment removing the offending links, and this all would’ve been avoided.

Yes, OP did get rather heated, but I think their reaction was understandable, if not justified.

Mine would have to be Natsume’s Book of Friends.
