We would all be plagued by a a giant beetle called the chewnifax that would drag children into the acid lake at night at random. The beetle would be so enormous and its armor so sturdy that any and all attempts to kill it fail, and it would remake the world, creating canyons and deep rivers and lakes as it made its way around the world, with the previously mentioned acid like increasing in size as it played with the bones of our children in its depth.

We would live in giant mushrooms and communicate with tin cans on strings, and the world would no long be spherical but instead it would be a perfect cube.

Fake news. It’s a conspiracy to stop your message from getting out. They should go outside way, way more, preferably in hilly terrain or in courtyards surrounded by tell buildings.

Raccoon with “raccoon with rabies” tattooed on its side byes teen after teen shoves hand into its mouth. The teens mother, in condition of anonymity said "won’t somebody please think of the children? This clearly marked rabid was raccoons was caged in a secure research facility behind multiple layers of security and dozens of armed guard where anybody could access to it. The world needs to do more to protect the world from rabid raccoons, so I can continue to do what good parents do, drink wine and complain about how being a parent is’

AAAAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

We will make new beaches. With cocaine, blackjack, and hookers. In fact, the beaches will all be pure Bolivian cocaine, as fresh and crisp and clean as the driven February snow. We shall fiuck on the beaches, we shall fuck on the landing grounds, we shall fuck in the fields and in the streets, we shall fuck in the hills; we shall cum, and cum, and cum.

I’m picturing murdering dozens of baby Palestinians all somehow concealing high powered weaponry.

“Good job soldier, that baby was a skilled fighter and sure had it coming”

Forest Dad vs. Basement Dad: who would win?

I was so close to being in Nepal right now but a security warning by my government change my mind on visiting.

So glad I heeded it.

But good for the Nepalese for fighting for what they want.

The technology is fascinating and useful - for specific use cases and with an understanding of what it’s doing and what you can get out of it.

From LLMs to diffusion models to GANs there are really, really interesting use cases, but the technology simply isn’t at the point where it makes any fucking sense to have it plugged into fucking everything.

Leaving the questionable ethics many paid models’ creators have used to make their models aside, the backlash against so is understandable because it’s being shoehorned into places it just doesn’t belong.

I think eventually we may “get there” with models that don’t make so many obvious errors in their output - in fact I think it’s inevitable it will happen eventually - but we are far from that.

I do think that the “fuck ai” stance is shortsighted though, because of this. This is happening, it’s advancing quickly, and while gains on LLMs are diminishing we as a society really need to be having serious conversations about what things will look like when (and/or if, though I’m more inclined to believe it’s when) we have functional models that can are accurate in their output.

When it actually makes sense to replace virtually every profession with ai (it doesn’t right now, not by a long shot) then how are we going to deal with this as a society?

Absolutely yes

The reality of human nature means that citizens must be engaged in the political process and that the ruling classes need to be kept in line. Democracy does not work if the only consequences to corruption and totalitarianism by the proletariat is to be voted out of office eventually.

Lil Wayne’s prison sentence was commuted by trump and NO ONE TALKS ABOUT IT.

I mean, no one should think Weezy is a good person, but the absolute insanity of the whole situation is just mind boggingly odd.

Interesting nuance. Thanks.

Also wanted to comment that this is what democracy looks like. More or less. It would have been good if this had been done without 19 people dying but the general gist of: fuck off with this bullshit, is well placed

A photo of the actual letter is now public.

Royalty have long memories.

While you’re right, I think they’re more “biding their time” than content with this tbh.

The emperor of Japan was largely a symbolic position during the Tokugawa shogunate until the Meiji restoration restored him back to power, remember.

I’ve always had issues with fedora and nvidia.

Good to know.

The stuff I’ve read about recently tracking movements using wifi - would this need more powerful radio waves than most people use or no?

The great thing is that instances can be 10000 times more fucked than Reddit if they want. If you get banned you can just join another one.

Maybe if the title didn’t sound like an ad.

Also shit like this is how sensitization starts. People upvote this shit and befor you know it’s all you see everywhere.

Fuck google.

So if you don’t want someone to measure your heartbeat and to physically know where you are at all times your only option is to cover your entire living area, including the windows, in aluminum foil?

I guess what I’m getting at here is that this situation is deeply, deeply fucked.
