  • Yeah, that’s where my mind is at too.

    AI in its present form does not act. It does not do things. All it does is generate text. If a human responds to this text in harmful ways, that is human action. I suppose you could make a robot whose input is somehow triggered by the text, but neither it nor the text generator know what’s happening or why.

    I’m so fucking tired of the way uninformed people keep anthropomorphizing this shit and projecting their own motives upon things that have no will or experiential qualia.





  • I could really use some scale on this image. Are these the galactic filaments of the laniakea supercluster?

    As it stands, Sol and the interstellar gas cloud it and a couple hundred other stars reside within are in the middle of a 100-parsec-wide void where stellar density drops to near zero which we have named “the local bubble” in the Orion Spur connecting two arms of the Milky Way right now.

    It is far from the first time a structure we’re part of is in the middle of nothing.


  • Precisely. They figured out how to rake in billions of dollars through losing elections. All the money they raise, poof: gone! Gone to “strategists” and “consultants” and “advertising agencies” and all manner of other bullshit that are just legitimate-sounding names for fences who launder the money for them.

    It’s like the plot of The Producers:
    “you can make more money with a flop than a hit!”

    not sure if this is
    getting a craving and not satiating it because ‘i’ll get to it later’ and also ‘oh no the place is closed because i wasted too much time’ and it’ll stick to me for weeks…
    or
    getting a shit ton of the same thing and eating it every day because it’s my favorite thing right now

    but i have been through both.
