Bulwer-Lytton contest ended 2 years too early.

Giving those “siri, fuck my wife” ads a new meaning.

Is this guy a vegan even? If not how can he even BEGIN to claim to know about considering the rights of other sentient beings??

I want to personally eat everyone more concerned about robot rights or “ai” rights than carnism.

Wait, actually that’s a bad idea 'cause I’d get their brainworms

If you’re interested in locksmithing I’ve got bad news. It got harder after WFH, waaaay more people home in rich neighbourhoods

They seemed to bring up a cartoon for 12 year old boys?

No idea

Piles of screaming grey goo and people being like “Why are you running away? can’t you see it’s my grandmother?”

One of the funniest things I ever read was a result of a survey of laypeople, physics UGs, physics Grads, postgrads, and faculty on various “cool future” things.

predictions of the likelihood of things geeks constantly dream about craters once you get past the very basics. I can only assume that fields that aren’t mine, and are in general vastly more complex, are at least as full of evidence of god hating us and not allowing us nice things.

I remember reading some of yuddies writing about nanomagic and noticing that the word “sticktion” never showed up.

I don’t have to be thrilled about death to have a basic understanding of how basic our understanding of consciousness, biology, and neurology are. Nor to know how much the physical world resists making tiny machines and measurements necessary to explore these frontiers, or the ethical dilemmas involved in exploring how consciousness works that vastly slow and perhaps outright prevent answering questions like “can we replace little bits of someone with some machine we can maintain easier in the interest of prolonging them?”

Also I do happen to know how the universe ends.

Well, we are all going to die. So… musing over?

We all get that right, everyone is going to die. Everything living you lay eyes on is going to die. I am 100% certain that the future contains the death of everyone alive today.

Do they mean immanently? Why?

People who are entertaining in front of a camera are just regular people. If anything I’d expect the fame to make them on average worse than a random sample

If the world was really different I guess it would be.

The IMF is basically always saying get ready to fuck the poors with a rusty chainsaw.

That’s like their whole thing, their raisin dough etcetera as they say.

Looks like AI can be everyone’s reason for everything. The rich can use it to get richer and make the poors poorer.

What’s p-hacking but for metrics you technically win at?

Nobody was like “epic is bad because open slow”. Maybe hire some fucking UX and UI designers, build basic shop features that are missing. Support linux.

I think valve are evil rent seeking bastards but stuff like not taking money for ads, steam input, proton, streaming, multiplayer joining, family library, and reviews does add actual value.

Of course, adding and maintaining features while vibe coding would be a neat trick, so how fast a pile of shit opens it is!

A few things:

• I think nation states anticipate this new wave of machine learning will enable unfathombly large surveillance and a new age of hurk cyber warfare.
• Some investors seem to believe that basically all fields will adopt “ai” with the same enthusiam and level as software. The film industry alone would need a hideous amount of computer hardware if that disturbing fantasy of everyone living in their own solipsistic culture bubble came to life.
• Humanoid robot wierdos are anticipating applying deep learning and computer vision to copy movements etc from humans with camera’s strapped to their faces (part of the reason glasses are being pushed again). Some of the anticipate enormous fleets of robots doing everything from manufacturing to warfare. This would need a lot of compute
• Nobody actually has any idea how to direct businesses or run nations, and a considerable amount of people at just following everyone else because everyone else can’t be wrong.

Oh also it’s entirely possible to make huge amounts of money in a bad idea as long as you get out first. I suspect a lot of investors and banks are anticipating being that person. Capitalism is hilarious.

It depends on how it plays. If thousands of people keep trying it for short periods of time the business model is less stupid than if a few hundred people play it nearly 24/7. Like are they spending 70 dollars per potential sale or 3?

Is an arc of play 3 hours or 60? etc.

Also just generally when people are being stupid it’s funnier to describe what they’re doing accurately.

big if true.

If we find a way to smoke without damaging the lungs I’m taking it up again.

I don’t miss being out of breath all the time and generally antsy when shut inside but fuck me but nothing compares the sublime joy of stepping out of some bullshit to drag on a durry.
