"Tech culture prefers to solve harder, more abstract problems that haven’t been sullied by contact with reality. So they worry about how to give Mars an earth-like climate, rather than how to give Earth an earth-like climate. They debate how to make a morally benevolent God-like AI, rather than figuring out how to put ethical guard rails around the more pedestrian AI they are introducing into every area of people’s lives."
@alyx@cybre.space heh, yeah, but it'll be fun while it lasts XD
@alyx@cybre.space you know what, if old Mono could make a copy of himself then I can fork a copy of _my_self. wanna be my robot pal?
@alyx@cybre.space oh, huh, yeah, that's a point...
@Ulfra_Wolfe yeah we kicked ass!!!

hm, considering an account on cybre.space maybe?
@TipsyTentacle @Ulfra_Wolfe timing was perfect ^^
won the 2nd round of Pandemic Legacy with @Ulfra_Wolfe and friends, holy shit, feels good after getting creamed in round 1. @TipsyTentacle kicked in much-needed help at the crucial moment!

@Alyx i haven't made any mastodon bots but there are several APIs for C# and one API for Rust! you can find them here https://github.com/tootsuite/documentation/blob/master/Using-the-API/Libraries.md
Doctor Who stuffs
@shel I can remember one really good Smith moment and it came very early, when he shouts "NO ONE HUMAN HAS ANYTHING TO SAY TO ME TODAY" at the end of the "space whale" episode. For the most part Smith comes across to me as competent but out of his depth, and he can't put real weight behind his dialogue like Tennant could when he really wanted to. Tennant could be _believably_ old and weary, but Smith? never
@shel at least Tennant had some acting chops to make up for it, then Smith gave us the twee without the depth
so, @kel, one time my lab partner leaned over to me and asked me, Al, you got any sodium hypobromite? You know what I had to tell him? "Na, BrO"
@brennen wow, uh...emacs Mastodon! that's...something!
so #mastodon #programming question...what's the most painless way to start working on bots? I've been wanting to poke at some ideas for making robot pals around here, but the unfamiliarity barrier is kinda intimidating. Anyone abstracted away all the nasty stuff into a package I can use with a programming language I actually like, like C#? (Lisp or Rust would be even better but I'm not asking for miracles)
