I dab too, there are dozens of us!

That honestly seems pretty low for friend.com

Although the fact they’re developing hardware on less than a million dollar budget is bananas, let alone the other whack ideas

He’d probably do something similar on day 1 while at the same time starting to recuperate the action politically, and after a few days just go into full conspiracy or similar mode

I remember seeing a hypothesis that ADHD would have been beneficial in Hunter-gathering, as you would more quickly move from plant to plant rather than fully depleting a resource. It was just one study where they had a sort of game/simulation to test it though, so very early days on that theory.

The problem with the Turing test and current AI is that we didn’t teach computers to think, we taught them to talk.

The Last Jedi was one of the best Star Wars movies, and Luke’s redemption arc was great, even if the setup for it was rushed.

You can of course always be skeptic, but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong. I would argue most opinions shared by nearly everyone are probably valid.

Which makes water lava, technically speaking

Yeah, the network wizard helped me with a dhcp problem with zero hassle, so that one’s definitely useful

I’m not sure it’s going to be that easy to pirate your way out of this. The amount of content is so vast it’s nearly impossible to host in a free way. I’m happy to pay for YouTube premium to support the creators, as well as paying for Nebula and Dropout for content, though neither can entirely replace YouTube’s vast amount of content and interface.

And to add a platitude: “Any idiot can build a bridge that stands, but it takes an engineer to build a bridge that barely stands.”

But to build on your analogy: we don’t make regulations based on a religious doctrine anymore in most countries. If your religion says no one is allowed to wear mixed fabrics or eat pork, that’s fine if you’re not doing that, but we’re not banning those things for all of society.

There’s about as much proof for an existential AGI threat as there is for a deity, so let’s not make policies based on either, and focus instead on real potential and already proven harms of AI

I have to disagree here. Disclaimer: I work for a bank but not super into the core financial stuff. Firstly, banks are already super heavily regulated; anti money laundering, terrorism financing, know your customer, etc. The reason crypto takes minutes for international transfers and banks can take days isn’t because of technology, it’s all of those checks on fraud happening. All the money leaving a bank account is, barring very advanced fraud, with the user’s consent, but in fraud cases this is often done via social engineering (calling someone to get their codes from their bank card reader, or pretending to be a family member in need).

I was interested in the ltt screwdriver until I found out there’s not pozidriv in it. That’s like 80% of the screws here in Europe (all of ikea, for instance)

What can be claimed without evidence can be dismissed without evidence, and extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence to boot. I have a very hard time believing any of this mess.

stole this idea from a tiktok, it’s a dog thinking the parade for the pope in Mexico, 2012, was for him

I feel this breaks the ‘no goofs’ rule

Yeah, this feels like coming home. I tried the other options, but none felt as smooth or as customisable as this.

I would guess that’s hot vapor, not steam. Actual steam is invisible and will burn you

Similar in France, also airco giving you all kinds of symptoms
