This sort of stuff makes me feel bad for Ozy. After a decade pushing back against this shit the community still likes it.

The only reasons I see for using new apps is because the older ones got an ‘update’ where they made the ui worse and dropped some features and reliability.

Just wait, when the AI agents are going to use those apps they will go to the moon!

Has it been 2 months already? I was wondering when they would turn up in the news again.

E: I’m not serious, I came across this video on yt which fulfilled my ‘every 2 months’ thing already. It was actually a bit interesting, as it turns out both of them have a long mostly unscrubbed online history which they tracked down and analyzed, turns out she has a history of being a weird quirky person, and they both have an air of ‘want to become internet famous/create an internet scam’ sort of thing.

The comments on that vid are great as well (wait for it) check this one out:

It is rich for you to skewer anything Simone and Malcolm miss with their podcast when they post 5 days a week (you neglected to mention) and you can’t even maintain your schedule or throw up a post on bluesky when you are off schedule. Also, because you two are genetic dead ends you don’t know that a mother of 5 cannot be a night person, she was up with a baby when she emailed. Malcolm and Simone talk in different rooms because she always is looking after a baby, and babies can randomly make noise so Simone can mute and Malcolm can take over. Maybe you can meet a baby one day and learn how they work. But I will say this episode is better researched than the usual “read article titles and giggle” podcasts you put out.

This comment was left by none other than “Diana Fleischman” Yes, that one, the evolutionary psychologist, and partner of Primal “I’m no longer allowed near students” Poly (For those who remember sneerclub from reddit, he was a regular subject. For example).

Amazing how small this nazi nerd world is. And how bad they are at defending their own. Feel free to leave ‘ad hominem’ reactions to that. (I will not as my yt profile links back to my real life).

Don’t worry, the acausalrobotgod will save us from everything.

The good thing about the elon musk internet sats is that they are too low to easily cause Kessler’s, they burn up in the higher atmos.

The bad thing is that they are made of a lot of aluminum and at that altitude it makes climate change a lot worse.

So you do not have to worry about Kessler’s syndrome. As we are gonna burn.

It is always enjoyable to see Americans realize their free speech laws/absolutism is a bit odd actually.

This is an interesting development tbh. And makes sense.

Oracle as in a confirmation of facts protocol

Amazing that on first glance it looks like a smart contract ‘all done by code’ thing, but then the reveals comes and it is just a few rich people again.

Congrats to lesswrong, another one of their big ideas has reached the mainstream. (And it is eugenics).

Skeet from motherjones "Some of the same billionaires who bankrolled AI now admit the technology could one day kill us all.

And they’re funding a new plan to stop it—genetically engineered genius babies."

I don’t think op has thought that well about it, this felt more like a gotcha argument. 'you say it is all unethical but I found a small (for me) exception so all your arguments are invalid.

Saw much of people do a similar thing on bsky last weekend. A sort of thing going (from a different era) ‘ha you say you are totally against blockchains/nfts? Well you still use github and that is a blockchain, sl better stop using all software’.

Toss me your email and ill send you a link for ai war one and two.

It is just a case of efficiency, they are good at making money, not spending it, so we should tax them.

Yall sneer, but I made a couple of thousand bucks this saturday standing on a dark street corner selling illegal Fable and Mythic linkups. Gave the first question free to any boomers that came asking, to get them hooked.

So, perhaps not the right place here (this is more a I make others happy sort of thing), but for any of the regulars here (I do need to recognize your name, as I know there are bots online looking for offers just like this), if you, or one of your kids or friends perhaps want a copy of the AI war or AI war 2 base game. I have a spare key for each on the hot water storefront.

I asked around in my social circle and most either do not care for it or already have gotten keys. Thought some people here might enjoy it.

And if that isn’t your thing I also have a copy of Pillars of Eternity

I do not want anything for it I just want it to go to people who might enjoy it. Interested, leave a reply, and we will figure something out. (keys gotten via Humble bundle if that is relevant).

Twitter really broke their brains.

Ha, that is the same name the sun energy system has in the Peter Watts Blindsight series.

It eventually falls into the sun.

We are already a few years behind on the planned AI destroying the world

Boosters have, to varying degrees, tried to dilute the definition

They do this with everything, because the tech doesnt hold up to the dreams, a lot of things get diluted. Esp noticably when they compared llms to humans learning and instead of noting llm advancements they talked down how humans learned.
