for every autistic 25 year old attention seeking woman who has talked herself into depression
Why are we even supposed to care about them anyway? If they are so hell bent on removing themselves from the gene pool, good riddance.

Do the common LLMs even produce the most obvious tells if you tell them to just translate a piece of text from language A to language B?

because in practice it will only affect the absolute laziest of AI users
So roughly 90% of them?

I can't say I've noticed that either. If anything, I'd say people with such background move in less odd ways because they have a better sense of aesthetics and what looks good when it comes to posture and movement.
Perhaps it's different on that side of the atlantic.

I've already decided to take that route for a long list of possible future diagnosis, as have many of my family members.
I don't think I know a single person who would choose losing their memories and identity and becoming a drooling vegetable instead of a dignified death should they start to suffer from significant dementia etc.

I assure you that women with dance training DO do it though.
Where?
I know more than a few women with professional and amateur dance background and I haven’t seen a single one ever done anything whatsoever like MQ does in thay video. Probably because they’re intelligent enough to realize it makes them look retarded instead of attractive.

My two cents is that while Walken is actually goofy but still somehow dignified
Walken was a guy nearly in his 60s pulling off dance moves middle aged men are definitely not supposed to be able to, all the while being dressed as for an actually serious film. It’s impressive looking and the juxtaposition between ”serious older guy” and somewhat goofy but quite well done dance moves by a ”he’s not supposed to be able to do that” aged guy is what makes it all work.
In contrast Margaret Qualley looks like she’s literally having a seizure.

People like to talk about how shoplifting from big chain stores isn't really theft because insurance covers all that and they make millions in profit, but such big chains make those profits by ruthless pricing and enforcing economies of scale and using their clout to pressure suppliers for discounts.
Isn't the profit margin of grocery chain stores quite low in reality? At least a common complaint over here in Finland is that the local pseudo-duopoly makes them ridiculously more profitable than is the norm in other countries because they typically don't face any real price competition.

you should worry about "what if my niche crypto implementation is not as secure as anticipated?"
Or in this case, "What if the person writing it is a blind idiot monkey?"
Getting true random noise is trivially easy in microcontrollers and only a complete idiot would use something like micropython in such security critical application.

the audit started back in January has resulted in the revocation of 28,000 commercial divers licences
TIL commercial diving is so lucrative for immigrants...
(You have a typo there)

Industrial alcohol contains something to render it undrinkable, but this is normally gasoline rather than methanol.
I find that rather hard to believe considering in how many situations gasoline would be a problem, such as resulting in unwanted reactions, affecting rubber seals and all sorts of other issues that regular denaturants (or even methanol) avoid.

I have a hard time seeing that they really have a patent to infringe upon
They can't on account of them not having patented it in the first place.
I note that imitating American thirst traps is not exactly new.
What gets me is some women in their late 30s or even 40s imititating American thirst traps. Like WTF woman, why would you think that's in any way a good look on you in public channels?
How much of that was because you were "woman who was sheltered, probably on the spectrum and very lacking in social skills" and how much because you were "18 year old" hanging out with people older than you?
To me it seems that the problems complained about are specific to the individual and have next to nothing to do with being 18 in a group of older people.

In contrast, rural people, churchgoers, and those with thick multi-generational communities are pretty used to enjoying the company of people of all ages.
You don't even need to live in any sort of "conservative" environment. Just have some interests that aren't strictly age segregated or a part time job and you'll end up meeting and socially interacting with a bunch of people of different ages. Back in the 90s I attended a couple of BBS meetups when I was 16 and had no problem whatsoever having discussions with people ranging from my age to those in their 40s (all of who I only knew from online). By the age of 18 I had a summer and then part time job and ended up getting drunk with people ranging from 20s to their 40s. It really isn't awkward if you have enough social intelligence to find some commonality with people who aren't exactly like you.
Sure, teens don't usually want to hang out much with adults but that's because they think adults are "boring" or "out of touch", not because people are being weird about it.
Since when has that really stopped anyone much?
Many moons ago when I was 19 I visited an older friend I knew from IRC who lived in the Midwest. I ended up hanging out with a bunch of local 17-19 year olds there and while my friend's wife forbade him from buying us booze, the only thing limiting (but certainly not stopping) us getting alcohol was how much we could tolerate the company one rather annoying girl who was 21. I don't think I've ever drunk as much alcohol while traveling as on that trip.
The same way some of my friends here in Finland had no problem getting drunk when they were 15-16 even though the legal age is 18.
There's a big difference between "can't" and "many don't much want to".

Which is a deficiency specific to American governing, not any sort of attribute of 18 year olds.

If you just don't want to be responsible for keeping the environment controlled then own it and boot her yourself.
Why should the environment even have to be controlled if all the participants want it to be uncontrolled? That is, more than with any other recent addition from a different background.

So it's not totally unreasonable to question whether the gunshots were necessary
It's easy enough to answer: Just consider how the police would have reacted in a bunch of other western countries in similar situation. If they're all "Yeah, there's no fucking way they'd have shot the tasered guy", that's pretty clear answer.

I hope it gets out of Kickstarter Development Hell. The Escape Velocity Override remake, "Cosmic Frontier Override", was not so lucky. The devs wasted a bunch of time poorly rewriting everything and then apparently Peter Cartwright, the original creator, died while this all was going on. Maybe it'll keep going. The remaining dev is incentivized to keep going, because he somehow made a Patreon account a year or two after the kickstarter to get even more free money to develop freelance.
Relatedly, we've been toying with maybe doing a Kickstarter for hw device with a friend and very fast came to the conclusion that the only way we would ever do is if we have a production ready prototype and need upfront capital just to order a limited batch from a contract manufacturer as well as a known set of guaranteed buyers. Otherwise there's far too high risk of ending up at /r/shittykickstarters.
If that was actually the case, my dislike for artists as a group wouldn’t increase so much of the time I interact with them in other venues too, including even the real world. Yet it keeps doing so over and over and over again.
Similar thing hasn’t happened with engineers, doctors, lawyers, accountants, nurses etc.

This is overly simplistic. Let kids have interests, unless those interests are truly beyond the pale. Everyquest, Star Trek, soccer, whatever. But not toasterfucking.
I see you're not a fan of the 2003 Battlestar Galactica reboot.
