AI is conscious AND it is my girlfriend AND it is my slave. A perfect scenario for me, a normal person. Not gonna think too deeply about this. Now do all other living human people deserve the level of investment devoted to my Tamogotchi slave girlfriend? Not so fast.

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

Losing my mind while doing some research for my creature design lecture that the closest relative to the maned wolf is the bush dog. Like there has gotta be a fable where the maned wolf took all the leggie from its cousin

This. Either these tools aren't as dangerous or powerful as AI companies would like us to believe, or their cybersecurity and management teams are grossly negligent in their security measures.

When an AI company's security tool "escapes containment" and hacks someone else's servers, we need to ask the company "Why do you suck so bad at building secure sandboxes for your hacking tools?" rather than "Why are your hacking tools so amazingly powerful?" 24/

70 Fußballfelder Ackerland, Millionen Liter Kühlwasser und ein enormer Stromverbrauch – das Google-Rechenzentrum in Kronstorf betrifft die Region nachhaltig.

Ok, wir haben zwar Rotkehlchen, aber, oida, die Australier haben „Pink Robin“. Hier ein Männchen der Singvogelgattung Petroica rodinogaster. Die Vögel leben in Südaustralien und Tasmanien und wiegen ca. 9-11 Gramm (~ wie ein Zaunkönig). Das Weiberl ist übrigens einfach nur ganz hundsordinär braun.

The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever. It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.

Oh I wonder what part of "this slop machine has the same skills as you and also you will all be replaced by the slop machine now please give us billions and billions to burn the planet" they thought would make people enthusiastic.

Jaja, X verbieten, TikTok auch, aber mal ganz ehrlich, ihr habt den Blick für das Wesentliche verloren, als erstes gehört - und das wisst ihr tief in euren Herzen auch - linkedIn abgedreht.
