“Life is my career” For fuckin WHAT For what reason do we need to do all this. Its not making any material improvements to the world, the magical science fiction future is not happening. Where is the room for JOY and CONNECTION while we are here on what could be paradise for so little time. GTFOH

When we look at the useful stuff that LLMs give us, we should not think, how cool is this technology. We should think, what an amazing range of useful work people are willing to share online, freely, without any monetary compensation. Which the machine is just summarizing for us.

Well I finally found the big thread of nonsense about the “bigotry of the neuron” lmao But everyone disappoints me because not a single damn person talks about biochemistry and the map not being the territory and thats why these numpty ass fools keep saying all that shit. Hell its why I USED to

Jira makes me want to start The Rumbling every time I see it

HOW. ARE. THEY. NOT. EMBARRASSED!

I am endlessly amused that despite the immense amount of shit I talk about AI, robots, mind uploads etc, and being absolutely positive that none of it is happening ever… I do love me some scifi about it. Rewatching pantheon right now with thoughts like “all of this is fn absurd” but my face like:

Bluesky's big problem is that its owners are standard issue exponential-growth right-wing tech psychopaths who accidentally attracted a user base of liberal-lefties who don't care about maximizing scale or valuation, and it's made them snap

Remember at the beginning of this whole thing, when these guys were condescendingly explaining to you that the models were actually 'learning concepts', and the then-fuzzy versions of Bart Simpson were because it was absorbing the 'concept' of Bart Simpson?

If you want to insist you dont need to replicate/account for what biology is doing to be useful.... Take the biology and other human-related terms out of all the tech. How will you sell it or convince people that it is amazing? Describe it honestly and directly, assumption free. See what happens.

I gotta stop going on this goddamn website but its an unlimited source of nonsense I might have to deal with in the development of my model. Anyway, the answer to these ridiculous questions is...these assertions arent how biology works it at all. But nooo we cant consider that possibility can we?

"Airplanes dont flap their wings to fly, submarines dont swim! So you dont have to do a thing like bio to do the thing" Okay lets unpack this ridiculous comparison once and for all, make it real obvious how stupid it is. Can your computer become a plane now? Do your swimming algorithms swim?

DYK most P. aeruginosa carry filamentous phage(s) that don't need to kill the cell to reproduce? We 👉🏻@nanamikubota.bsky.social show that these Pf phages can go ROGUE. "Filamentous cheater phages drive bacterial and phage populations to lower fitness" 🔗 authors.elsevier.com/c/1lt5I3QW8S...

Hey guys Whats usually the common denominator that makes all the “liberals” you decry such a problem again? Whats the quiet part guys Whats the supreme on that pizza

Why do I feel like this is some nonsense born of “the world is data!” type thinking. “Books are data and must be ingested efficiently. A middle-out type of search and sort will tell me if I will like this and should invest my precious time”

They stole this girls muhfuckin face this WHOLE industry is scams and fraud from dork ass losers that loathe the concept of consent, kill all of it with fire until we get rid of these companies istg

These posts from @andr3wsky.bsky.social on threads (I checked to see if he also posted here but he didn't) were actually hard to read, because Black folks have said this *so* often and been argued *down* about it, reading someone say it as a 💡 feels damn near insulting. But maybe ppl will listen

Listening to Angela Collier lose her shit in her latest video and yea all the “physics hasnt done anything in X years” people are just mad we dont have warp drive yet. So theyve turned to Sillicon Valley with its AI grifts for their hopium and thats why we have THAT problem youtu.be/miJbW3i9qQc?...

You took the wrong one today😔. Do your goddamn job right

The basic thing about all these tech hypes is: The tech bros think people should be serving the technology (which the bros control)—not that technology should serve people.

Imagine wanting to commit war crimes and human rights abuses for a bunch of incompetent dork ass losers. Trying to be all “blood and soil!” for your “birthright” for a group of guys softer than baby shit. Incredible

Oh man I really liked the first two Saw movies but it kinda fell off Wait a damn minute

*snaps in ikttfr* ✊🏾🙂‍↕️

If you have to turn everything into data/math problems before the computer can even operate on it, how are you gonna make an autonomous AI “agent.” You havent come up with the algorithm that turns new encounters and aspects of reality into useable data/math problems. Cells dont have to do that btw

I also need everyone to chill out with the "human nature!" stuff too. Most of the terrible things people bring up are actually results of emotional immaturity and trauma, not our "nature." We absolutely don't have to live like this or endure it forever.

“Humanity is beginning to coexist with a second apex species for the first time in 40,000 years” — it’s like the movie predator but the predator doesn’t do anything if you stop typing and you can just unplug it

Its crazy how much abuse and surviving being abused is manly to these people. “What do you mean toxic masculinity!” my guy your whole vibe is trauma. Fellas you aren’t manly, you are just fucked up

“Nobody could have predicted this” yall voted for a well known pedo…please give that shit a rest.

Fungi, galls and snoozing ladybirds from a walk along Sutton Bank, North Yorkshire, last week. 🐡 #fungi #invertebrates

You see this? Its a molecular hypodermic needle some bacteria species use to inject DNA or other weaponry. You think we have or can build anything like this?

Black people warned everyone exactly what would happen. Black celebrities were everywhere warning people about Project 2025 and what it entailed including cuts to the federal government. White people like you said it was an overreaction.

“Very few people…” *laughs in 92%*

“We will just simulate it!” Even if you could ignore the fact that we dont have the data for accurate simulations because we cant do the things listed, its a 3-body problem. But worse. So, so many more moving parts doing so, so much more than orbital mechanics. The most intractable compute ever

The reason techbros will never actually understand human intelligence is because understanding wont make you a god. When you truly “get it” you realize…aint no way we are engineering this. They dont want to believe that, and lack the humility to see it. THEY are the ones who believe in magic.

Who the fuck was ever buying *live fucking lobster* from a wal mart That’s fucking deranged

What level of old married man is it where I walk by a beautiful woman but there is no lusty "damn!" type reaction its a "Gorgeous darling simply STUNNING" in my head in Eartha Kitt's voice?

ME: *raises hand* yea can I experience all the pleasures imaginable, without pain, until I actually get bored of that first before all the flaying of the skin from my bones? You really can't just jump into that one guys

It would be fun to "ban" AI and Machine "Learning" just to watch these guys scramble to finally properly label all this shit. "It's not AI! Its just matrix math! It's not ML its statistical analysis!"

She's beefing with the whole horror pantheon I love us so much. Just saw her goin at Freddy damn Krueger

Damn right my ADHD wants a pat on the head for doing basic shit around the house. But really I call it out because I know my wife's autism has a big ass list of Todo's in her head that she needs to mentally check off for some relief.

The only way to see the US as a historically white country is if you pretend Indigenous Americans don't exist and you ignore the fact that African Americans have been in this country longer than most of its white people. The way US history is taught from k-12 affirms the lie of white supremacy.

Getting more and more ridiculous to think they finally cracked it this time

“The pause button makes the game easier cuz you can stop and settle your nerves mid boss fight” You silly mfs have lost the plot. I want a pause button because life happens and Im not trying to run this back constantly because Im needed for somethin. Be so fuckin serious right now.

I gotta revisit this again because its funny as hell. They envision nanobots doing brain surgery when the brain IS “nanobots” and they do not comprehend that. Techbros will say “we dont understand the brain but dont really need to” and think they can build something MORE complex. But bio is trivial🙄

I wonder what happens when we collectively realize that computers arent the magic boxes for unlocking the scifi future we thought they were

There is absolutely no good faith reason to use the term “AI” for any technology one is selling. It serves only for dazzling people into thinking the technology has capabilities that it doesn’t. If one wants a technology to be trustworthy, just use a transparent, informative term without hype.

What character permanently altered your brain chemistry?

Babysitting the dog but the void is mines

Well at least tiktok goin on out on a good note for me. Young black woman talkin about she could take Jeepers Creepers in a fight and the whole black community is having a TIME. "Big Jeep? Jeepers Jacquavius Creepers? Nah gurl you on your own" and taggin in a cosplayer! Great start to spooky season

Intelligence is not a math problem

Too many people think boys with autism are obsessed with trains. Me? Im obsessed with somethin else. This aint train tism its brain tism (Ha!) Of course when I found out I was AuDHD it was the most delicious rabbit hole hyperfixation of all time. I still experiment on myself. Bad science but idc
