Back in 1997, when Deep Blue was battling Gary Kasparov in a chess match, this was my take on the inevitable end state of AI being introduced into the tech world. I think it's still the best test for determining true sentience in a machine.

Here’s yer explanation as to how what you see is real and why you’ll never see it in production bsky.app/profile/toob...

I don't get what I'm looking at. I'm not a physicist and plenty of real things look impossible to me, but I'd expect the car to start falling at least as soon as it's upside down. It looks like it's moving way too slow to have generated enough... centrifugal force, I guess? To keep it on the lane.

We live in a time where Barry Goldwater would be considered part of the liberal wing of the Republican Party.

On Monday morning I come into my full inheritance as someone over 50 by having my first-ever colonoscopy. Truly the innate dignity of medicine is a wonder to behold.

I have yet to get an ai-generated email full of faux flattery about any of my creative projects, and I can't decide if I'm just that good staying under the rAIdar or if I should be offended.

My daughter just rolled her eyes at me and said "that's so AI" and I don't like it, but I'm proud

Important late-night VFX question: At 9.55 in this episode, the TARDIS appears while the camera is zooming out. I think they must be zooming out on playback of the dissolve effect, which is why it's a bit soft. Does anyone know how they did it? www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p00vhqq3

Either everyone's human rights are safe or no one's are. The problem with fascism is not that we're not the ones doing it, the problem with it is that it harms people and that is immoral, unethical, the foundational sin of this blood soaked nation.

And I am all about prosecuting this administration but as soon as people start with a politics of punishing people in large swaths of the population for how they voted that's just more fucking fascism and I will fight y'all motherfuckers too, see if I won't.

You do not take healthcare from people because you don't like how they voted. Healthcare is a human right. You do not take food from people because of how they voted. Food is a human right. You do not take human rights from people, ever, for anything.

Hi as a queer trans man who has never left rural areas and spent a third of his life as a political and community organizer in the rural south you do not take food from the mouths of children because of the sins of the parents unless you're a fucking fascist.

Every criticism of this Chris Wright is proper and deserved. The fact that my name is also Chris Wright is both inconvenient and grimly amusing... - Chris Wright (not the fossil fuel shill one)

I have been having an enormous amount of trouble focusing on anything lately. Except for work. Apparently I can still focus on work, which is useful for all aspects of survival. But everything else is just a wall of static I can't break through for a useful or productive amount of time.

This is very accurate. youtu.be/Av2CYq67NZs?...

I have an AI policy on my site: www.eviscerati.org/ai-policy/ TL;DR version: It doesn't matter how interesting the technology could be, LLMs are trained through theft and I don't use them.

The World’s Most Terrible Isekai: you wake up in the body of Donald Trump, and nobody will tell you the truth about anything bc they’re afraid of you, so you have no idea if your new body is about to keel over. And you have to deal with all the shitheads he’s surrounded himself with. And..>

I think from now on any time I mention Chief Justice John G. Roberts I will also mention Chief Justice Roger B. Taney. Probably like this: "Chief Justice John G. Roberts and Chief Justice Roger B. Taney (twinsies)"

Latest update: Bricks and Minifigs is now going after Reckless Ben's Patreon in an attempt to get his funding pulled so he stops with the investigation against them, and in a rare but massive W for Patreon, they are siding with the creator and not the huge corporation www.youtube.com/watch?v=36jx...

“Content” also insidiously shifts significance and validity to the platform, not the substance — content is contained, what defines content is the existence and form of the container

My crankiest old man take is that referring to all art/entertainment/journalism/criticism/comedy/advertising as “content” helped pave the way for broad-ish acceptance of AI slop.

Power went out this morning. It'd been raining all week so it was just a matter of time.

The nicest thing a spammer has ever said to me.

Does the world not make tanker boots any more? My soul's hip just broke.
