@mavica it's all super good music!

@quirk HAPPY BIRFDAY TO YOU! 🎉

Well this is some fucking bullshit

"US patent office rules that artificial intelligence cannot be a legal inventor"

LET MACHINES PATENT STUFF YOU COWARDS

@mavica mavi hair is already purple

DOUBLE PURPLE!

@penguin42 not even talking legal requirements, I haven't seen any evidence of him doing anything that would be described as engineering

Under the same theory I'm a surgeon

I keep seeing musk fans calling him an engineer

I have found no source for that whatsoever

Did he just start calling himself an engineer one day and they all went along with it?

@mavica I am loving the small hacker corner there

@Nine yeah that makes sense

@evie who the fuck is binet?

@wigglytuffitout do it!

now you can tell them an octopus on the internet told you to do it

wait, that's worse

@mavica velociraptors on that looping waterslide thing

@mavica I'm not sure if that would be any safer to be in or not

🦔

@jk Gotta go old school for that sort of longevity

1000 years sounds possible

Depending on your definition of computer it's already been done with the Antikythera mechanism

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism

Put that in a vault and not at the bottom of the sea and I bet it'd still work

More useful would probably be a Babbage Analytical Engine built with modern materials

Also the 556 with a red second hand is part of the official collection now, rather than a super secret special order option
