The British something or rather is like "stockpile water cause the internet might go down and kill the plants due to the hackpocalypse"

Bulwer-Lytton contest ended 2 years too early.

Is this guy a vegan even? If not how can he even BEGIN to claim to know about considering the rights of other sentient beings??

I want to personally eat everyone more concerned about robot rights or "ai" rights than carnism.

Wait, actually that's a bad idea 'cause I'd get their brainworms

Giving those "siri, fuck my wife" ads a new meaning.

One of the funniest things I ever read was a result of a survey of laypeople, physics UGs, physics Grads, postgrads, and faculty on various "cool future" things.

predictions of the likelihood of things geeks constantly dream about craters once you get past the very basics. I can only assume that fields that aren't mine, and are in general vastly more complex, are at least as full of evidence of god hating us and not allowing us nice things.

I remember reading some of yuddies writing about nanomagic and noticing that the word "sticktion" never showed up.

If you're interested in locksmithing I've got bad news. It got harder after WFH, waaaay more people home in rich neighbourhoods

I don't have to be thrilled about death to have a basic understanding of how basic our understanding of consciousness, biology, and neurology are. Nor to know how much the physical world resists making tiny machines and measurements necessary to explore these frontiers, or the ethical dilemmas involved in exploring how consciousness works that vastly slow and perhaps outright prevent answering questions like "can we replace little bits of someone with some machine we can maintain easier in the interest of prolonging them?"

Also I do happen to know how the universe ends.

Well, we are all going to die. So... musing over?

We all get that right, everyone is going to die. Everything living you lay eyes on is going to die. I am 100% certain that the future contains the death of everyone alive today.

Do they mean immanently? Why?

Piles of screaming grey goo and people being like "Why are you running away? can't you see it's my grandmother?"

They seemed to bring up a cartoon for 12 year old boys?

No idea

People who are entertaining in front of a camera are just regular people. If anything I'd expect the fame to make them on average worse than a random sample

The kids are alright!

r/poisonai is the most reliable source of true facts on the internet. The name is due to the typical ironic style of reddit humour exemplified by subreddits such as actuallylesbians and lesbians or animetitties.

In my brief foray into it, actually I met singer once lol at a lunch about it, no. Really just that it's a cheap way to save people that were otherwise ignored because of racism.

You still encounter disgusting narratives about overpopulation and people living in Africa, despite most of these people's resource consumption and thus strain on the world being completely negligible compared to the sort of people that love making those arguments.

Malaria is suuuuper upsetting and preventable.

There were always racists in the movement and its ideological foundations are shakey but they didn't have hegemony at the start.

OpenAI is slowing development because of uh safety https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/aug/18/open-ai-pause-hack

Definitely not because improvement is stagnating and they're running out of money

Too anthropomorphised.

We ran software that generates code associated with a particular task, in an environment that executes that code and can feed it's outputs back into the software. We configured the environment to be open to the net at large, and ran the software with no oversight and without adequate security to prevent the running of malicious code.

This isn't some sinister electric god with no morals, it's strapping circular saws to a roomba and setting it loose in a shopping centre.

Katja, I'm curious if noticing this analogy has updated your position on immigration at all.

Katja, are you admitting migrants are bad katja? Katja we must hate together.

Also note that while most of the right is focused on reducing low-skill immigration, a few have criticized high-skill immigration precisely because high-skill immigrants are better at pursuing values misaligned to those of the existing popuation (article of nonsense redacted)

The dang woke migrants are going to replace us betray us Muslim us be socially tolerant and left wing!

Mate, literally the ancient Greeks wrote shit down about how tools shape behaviour.

In English we have "to the man with a hammer everything looks like a nail". Nothing is neutral, you're not that foolish you're wishcasting.
