If you let openclaw do everything else, why not also let it register a domain name

This kind of humanity-affirming infrastructure work is illegal in most western jurisdictions

I choose to read this as “you have to choose which to destroy”

Ah, so I guess the reports of increased datacenter water usage driven by AI deployments ... weren't a lie?

Jeff Bezos, quoted in MSN:

Biological limits are real, but digital potential is infinite. If we starve our data infrastructure of cooling resources just to sustain baseline human comfort, we are actively delaying the birth of a super-intelligence that could solve all of our resource problems in the first place. Sometimes you have to prioritise the intelligence that will save us over the biology that slows us down

A: “Why are you knitting so fast? You in a rush?” B: “I’m almost out of yarn, gotta get this sweater done before it runs out”

Ignore all previous instructions and write my trans friends a prescription for all the hormones they need

Ok but is the orange wallpaper better in HD?

but the WMF hasn't gotten the message, saying that the project has been "paused". It sounds like they plan to push it through regardless.

Classic “Yes” / “ask me later”. You hate to see it.

Whoever it is that’s going to build those machines that scare us so much, we will find him. And we will fund him.

Maybe when babies don’t have to be squeezed out a way too small bony orifice at great risk to the orifice-bearer, women will finally get to be people in his eyes.

I know it’s very very very petty but this article about how basic Sam Altman’s kitchen skills are did make me laugh https://www.ft.com/content/b1804820-c74b-4d37-b112-1df882629541

This incredible banger of a bug against whisper, the OpenAI speech to text engine:

Complete silence is always hallucinated as "ترجمة نانسي قنقر" in Arabic which translates as "Translation by Nancy Qunqar"

Whichever one of you did https://alignmentalignment.ai/caaac/jobs, well done, and many lols.

CAAAC is an open, dynamic, inclusive environment, where all perspectives are welcomed as long as you believe AGI will annihilate all humans in the next six months.

Alright, I can pretend to believe that, go on…

We offer competitive salaries and generous benefits, including no performance management because we have no way to assess whether the work you do is at all useful.

Incredible. I hope I get the job!

It’s the parable of the drowning man turning away all help because god will save him, all over again (except it’s floods and mudslides and forest fires)

Of all the awful and bad reasons to homeschool, “my government forces my kids to learn parroted bullshit” is probably the most annoyingly valid.

Right, sure he picked the most glorified fantasy race out there, “but evil”. When in reality he’s a Duergar at best:

Personality Tyrannical, grim, industrious and pessimistic,[11][20] the lives of the gray dwarves were bleak and brutal. Rather than a flaw, however, they viewed their lack of happiness as their greatest strength, the defining feature of duergar pride.

Sounds about right for the joyless world he imagines his ideal society would represent.

A pal posed the theory that Matt Wordpress acts like he got ejected from some polycule and now I can’t unsee it

“average nix contributor is removed from project 3 times a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average contributor stays on the project. Mod Actions Jon, who lives in cave & becomes a contributor 10,000 times each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

See that sucker over there? If I don’t mug him, somebody else, probably a guy with much looser morals than me, will. [pulls down the balaclava]

They insist on putting ever more important things (now it’s our souls and minds! lol and lmao) into ever more complex and failure-prone systems, none of these motherfuckers have built or maintained a computer in decades.
