im always saying this

Pisses me off that we’re stardust with the gift of conscious existence and having to spend our time on all this bullshit.

This is an exact encapsulation of why I moved to Bluesky. No amount of handwringing in the Atlantic about how I owe some eternal Promethean suffering to the discourse is going to make me stay on a site I hate, that stopped doing anything for me professionally years ago.

We're thinking of printing this out to put up in the kitchen next to the sink. Or maybe getting a needlepoint.

*reading a post that’s just a man’s name with no other context* ah this must be about baseball

This made me so happy

I still think the most accurate and consistent way to think about generative AI is that, in every instance, people exclusively use it for tasks that they don't have any respect for or give a shit about.

Circumcisions causing autism sounds like a @gianmarcosoresi.bsky.social bit.

max my man I gotta tell you that DOES sound pretty concerning

You read accounts of the creeping dread in Germany in the 30's, but do you think it was ever also this fucking stupid?

The only correct take on a fundamentally anti-human technology.

There's fucking yaoi art on a train by my house I'm fucking losing my mind, this rules so much

"This website is free" No. This website comes at a terrible cost

Once again, this perfect @zeboydgames.bsky.social post comes to mind:

Deja vu.

Reading this thread while in my 3rd airport in 2 days (on my way to a 4th) and whether you travel a lot or not, it's an amazing read.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Tron gives an inaccurate impression of how many guys live in your computer. It makes it seem like thousands of guys are in there. In reality only about 10 guys live in your computer and less than half of them ride motorcycles

The year is 2025. There are three social networks remaining. They are run by Dweeb Lowtax, Tweaker Lowtax, and Girlboss Lowtax. You have to pick at least one.

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious" I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge. We know exactly how LLMs work.

Watch today is a Soviet-made handwound “medical watch” from 1989 by Slava. The scales help you determine the patient’s heart rate. You must wait until the seconds hand reaches 0 or 30, then count 15 patient pulses. Where the seconds hand is on the scale at that moment is the heart rate.

faustian bargaining comes after faustian anger but before faustian depression

Do americans realise how weird it is to have TV ads that spend half the time listing horrible medical side-effects over stock footage of happy people? Or just to have TV ads for prescription medicine at all, really?

lol

Happy Full Metal Alchemist Day to all that celebrate. Remember the law of equivalent exchange or else.

The mystery of medical diagnosis!

it’s never a good sign when a software developer starts talking about human nature

Surely we must have worked out if they're giants by now

It’s funny because it’s true

It’s almost impossible to figure out how to bear witness to horrible things while also knowing those things are absolutely getting off on controlling your emotional state and my only advice is that they remastered Final Fantasy Tactics with some really nice voice acting

i just think of this quote whenever i’m forced to interact with an AI engineer who actually believes LLMs will revolutionize the world. upton sinclair you will always be famous “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”

Devastated to report that the Skibidi Toilet action figures are cool as hell

It's officially October 1st so that means you all have to repost Assorted cheese hell.....yes
