This is the supervillain version of releasing 2 pigs into your highschool labelled '1' and '3' as a senior prank.
if we're complaining about Mass Effect: it's fucked up that the guy who's in charge of all the Reapers is named Harbinger and the guy who's supposed to open the way for the other Reapers is named Sovereign
Just letting you know that there is an existing GTA V mod that lets you connect your indoor bike setup and pedal around Los Santos and it will dynamically alter the resistance to match the terrain. www.gtbikev.com
Having all these Bradleys and Abrams and not letting them kill Russians in plains and forests of Eastern Europe is like having a cattle dog in an NYC apartment. What even is the point? LET THEM BE FREE AND DO WHAT THEY WERE BRED FOR THEY YEARN FOR THE FIELD
I wish Biden had been a war hawk who shipped thousands of Bradleys to Ukraine. I wish our entire stockpile of 155mm rounds were used on Russian soldiers. There isn’t a single escalatory act NATO members could commit against Russia that I wouldn’t support.
Look, I know that nationalism is a helluva drug, but it really is incredible how many people convince themselves "our opponents are ontologically weak and incapable of responding to force with force so it will be easy to bring them to heel" despite the fact that this has worked approximately never.
Or they could respond basically the same way every society ever has responded to strategic bombing, which is a hardening of resolve to resist. acoup.blog/2022/10/21/c... It is difficult to imagine what news might be more warmly greeted in Kyiv than news that Putin had bombed Paris or Berlin.
Nathan For You episode where we meet a struggling lawyer who's depressed and wracked with guilt because she keeps screwing up all her cases and her clients end up in prison. Nathan helps her become the go to attorney for rich rapists.
just learned about one of the Cornell 7's lawyers. if this were my life i would [REDACTED] myself
This is why religious statements on about AI like the pope's encyclical have been the most cogent public positions. They have a really clear ontology about this and have spent literally thousands of years thinking about stuff like physicalism vs dualism.
I don’t know why people won’t just say they believe in some version of the soul, yeah. It’s clearly what they substantively mean!
LLMs have shown a bunch of things I had thought of as being fun/interesting metaphors about cognition are literally true. Like finding out 'time heals all wounds' is a property of general relativity because a startup used this to make real life MedBeds and is now worth $1tn.
Also, in a tremendous blow to me personally, LLMs have definitively proven that 1) both mathematics and programming are actually wordcel activities 2) a lawyer is actually a type of SWE, so I can no longer accuse @theophite.bsky.social of stolen valor. I am holding on to sanity by a thin thread.
All I can say is "yes, your honor, I believe I can serve on this jury impartially :)"
This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.

Brandon McNulty won USA's first men's world road race title since 1993 thanks to a collective that set its egos aside, while a leaderless chase group squabbled, Van der Poel's early aggression backfired and Belgium's bid fell apart. We analyse of 6h of pandemonium: www.rouleur.cc/racing/brand...
I'm gonna say something to you that I feel I want to say to a lot of people when talking about LLMs so sorry for singling you out and I hope I don't sound too rude, but do none of you bitches find any of this shit at least a little bit surprising? Everyone be talking like they saw this coming.
language is how we abstract concepts. Seems like it’s 1:1, just expand meaning of “language” to include chunkable qualia
Yeah people are acting like it's idiotic the idea that weights could be copied, but I can tell you from first hand experience that weight exfiltration is something that model providers spend a non-trivial amount of time worrying about and it is not a problem that is easy to solve.
Why are people acting like "computers" means "desktop computers"?
I know that these babies are absolutely packed with weird shit, but I am really losing it at the idea of a 35 year old being gifted a "coming of age".
“And please, when I fail, will you tell me? You have the absolute right to cuss me out, if need be, when I deserve it, because no one knows or cares about me more.” … “With all my heart, Natalie”
