squarely rooted

I should disclose something. During a recent Lunch order the subagent hacked into the UN. I’m not sure why, or what it wants. It told me to post this and await further instructions.

ultimately trolling is not a self-sustaining ideology

Incredible. Student List are candidates selected by groups of students to form an anti-corruption party. Another youth-led movement overthrowing an authoritarian government in Europe.

When ironically the real proof of being out of touch is being the kinda person who could be fooled by such guff in the first place.

So I think the sneakier rhetorical purpose of such claims is activating worry. The very fact of not having immediately seen it as a sin against the Folk Ways of Noble Savage Pickup Truck Enthusiast to insult Cheesecake Factory's aesthetic will activate the worry this is proof they're out of touch.

Tbh I don't think anyone on earth is offended by Obama saying that a gold plated cheesecake factory would be tacky. This is not actually something anyone is bothered by.

hey claude make a script that moves all the files from this folder to another folde okay done, and all 679 tests pass

the dark mcdonut

these people are shameless!

this is also clearly the case with duverger’s law which is…not in force almost anywhere it’s supposed to apply

credit where due, this combo of meme poast and poaster is perhaps the unsurpassable ideal of bluesky bait

I think about this way too much and I think my best 5d answer is we have to start spreading the notion that videos are the closed playpen of the Internet, that contrary to the assumption, videos are less efficient than reading, and that lots of the stuff They Don't Want You To Know About is in books

tbh i had no idea we had metrics to evaluate peer review. if we knew what it should be like, we'd have already done a better job at it. but i have faith we can goodhart our way out of every problem, with or without ai.

at some point it seems increasingly likely that it will come to pass that someone will make a big decision which rests on the belief that they have the troops and it will turn out they do not have the troops

Legitimately a dream to write something that inspires a reader to "go Martin Luther Mode."

this kind of stuff should be charged as murder

it sounds kind of ridiculous but i think you can make a not entirely facetious case that 1) the industrial revolution and therefore ~modernity is downstream of mass-market stimulants (tea, then tobacco and coffee) and 2) a key impact of stimulants is their effect on specifically certain ND types

we gotta bring back shame, man society doesn’t work real well without consequences for being an enormous piece of shit in public

LLM designed bacteriophages Radical Numerics used their own LLM, Omnii-1, to design a virus that infects bacteria, and then delivered it to a patient AI designed bacteriophages could be a solution to bacteria becoming immune to chemical-based antibiotics www.streetinsider.com/dr/news.php?...

A lot of folks are going to say "omg Anthropic lost $80B" but I believe that's just on the basis of the convertible notes being re-priced. They sold those earlier to fund the company in the first place, and now holders (Amazon, Nvidia, etc) are gaining because the valuation of the company went up.

FREDDY KRUEGER: (waving his scary gloves at me in a dream) Waugghhh! ME: Whoa Freddy, I haven't seen you all semester, dude. We've got that big math test today, didn't you study? Uh oh, you're in big trouble, buddy.

you can make anything look like high art if you're minimalist enough

Vibe coding enabling a do-it-yourself renaissance is a possible future that's underrated on this website.

the actually hard problem of consciousness is that verbs presume subjects and adjectives presume nouns but the recursive nature of consciousness makes almost all discussion of it one or another variety of question-begging.

You are a "Frankenhuman": six different human brains stitched together. They take turns in a random order, each possessing your consciousness for one second before passing to the next randomly selected brain. Can you tell that you're a Frankenhuman? You might want to think for a bit before deciding.

"a process masquerading as a persona" engrave that shit somewhere

Frankenmodel refuses to believe it's not just Claude

philosophers finally agree: we can define consciousnesses as the ability of a being to persuade specifically me, who is definitely conscious, that that being is conscious. glad we could work this one out fellas
