I know it seems ridiculous but I think the main problem with the AI industry is insufficient hubris.

If you spend that much time and effort building an AI it should be less than an hour before something is on fire, several people are dead, and someone is talking about how it was wrong to tamper in God's domain.

Can't believe they spent a gigawatt training GPT3 and the fucker isn't even trying to overthrow humanity.

Look, where I come from, if you burn a gigawatt of energy to make an AI, it had better damn well go skynet on you.

I keep thinking of this cursed resistor pride flag I found quite a while ago

#Mavica is a good match for #streetart but not so for taking photos of #LiminalSpace

I am pleasantly impressed by the feel I get from the photos made by #Mavica. Zero megapixels, warm late 90s/early 00s digital feel. It somehow managed to fit 35 photos on a single floppy, too.

At last

32. ooh germany also has legally mandated write-only storage devices on cash registers, like sweden has had for a long time. but the swedish ones don't print stuff like „Algorithmus ecdsa-plain-SHA256“ on receipts, ehehehe

melon is also mystery

‪examples:‬

‪cola‬
‪- coca-cola‬
‪- pepsi‬

‪lemon‬
‪- sprite‬
‪- 7-up‬
‪- fanta lemon‬
‪- probably fanta orange also, citrus fruits are inbred‬

‪mystery‬
‪- irn bru‬
‪- uludağ gazoz‬
‪- dr pepper‬
‪- cream soda‬
‪- trocadero‬
‪- dandelion and burdock‬
‪- those extremely cheap sodas with implausible flavours‬

there are three flavours of soda: cola, lemon, and mystery. scientists believe this latter category is by far the largest, with most of its members still undocumented

okay so it turns if you and someone else mute eachother on discord when in a voice room because you're in the same room irl, next time you voice call eachother directly you'll both hear nothing and have no visual indication this is what's going on

‪we can only hope that the war will end before that many people actually die, and that if they are fed this is not made conditional on expulsion, but it's very hard to be optimistic‬

my morally unassailable position on the israel–gaza war is that knowingly creating and maintaining the conditions in which up to two million people are likely starve to death is not defensible under any circumstances and that “genocide” is not an inappropriate word to use for it
