You most certainly can vibe a piece of wood into a cabinet but it'll be a shit cabinet and you'll probably hurt yourself. You'll need more tools than just a saw though.

Do you use auto correct on your phone? Well then hold onto your hat because an LLM is a glorified version of that, and that is a tool for speeding up typing. Can you just autocorrect your way to a complete sentence? Maybe but you need review process or your going to be typing gibberish. Sure it makes your typing worse but at the benefit of improving speed and minimising the errors associated with a screen based keyboard.

Look you're committed to your cause and it's pretty clear what sub we're in, so good luck with that, but AI exists so we either ban it outright which is a fool's errand (you might as well try banning math) or you can ensure people are educated about how best to use it. I think relegating it to entertainment rather than using it as a tool to minimise the time it takes to shit admin tasks is worse by far when you consider the social and mental health implications.

    Arguably you have to know what you're doing to get useful results out of an AI without becoming a gibbering idiot. Kind of like how you need to know what you're doing with a circular saw so you don't lose a hand. A computer is a tool just like AI is tool, obviously they are not the same.

    They are apex predators in Australia. There are no large carnivors that take them out. Dingoes are not common, a cat would give a Goanna a run for its money, cats don't go in the water so sharks are a different environment, crocodiles live in a small portion of the country. A cat will hunt snakes, snakes will typically only defend, but not all snakes are poisonous and cats have been known to win against the poisonous ones. Wedge tailed eagles again are not everywhere and are mostly just scavengers. Emus are fucking idiots.

    When cats get out here they go feral and eat everything in the immediate area. The feral cats that have been feral for generations are significantly bigger and more aggressive than a house cat, and will actively attack sheep.

    Most tools are like that. Is a hammer like any other tool? No, there are a range of hammer types, but a hammer is a hammer and there are no other tools that do that job. Could you use the back of an axe or the side of a wrench? Maybe. Should you? No.

    Some pretty salient points from Malcolm Turnbull. Morrisons shit subramine deal is going to haunt us for decades to come.

    I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt that by patriotism he means a focus on serving our country rather than the nationalism it tends be associated with. I'm not a huge fan of Turnbull but he has always been pretty well spoken.

    I think his idea that the Liberal party are good economic managers died about 25 years ago with Howard. It could be argued they've always been shit at economics, just noone called them out on it in the old days. I agree that they should be pushing back to the centre of they want to deal with Hanson's racist arsehole party.
