This is the supervillain version of releasing 2 pigs into your highschool labelled '1' and '3' as a senior prank.

if we're complaining about Mass Effect: it's fucked up that the guy who's in charge of all the Reapers is named Harbinger and the guy who's supposed to open the way for the other Reapers is named Sovereign

Having all these Bradleys and Abrams and not letting them kill Russians in plains and forests of Eastern Europe is like having a cattle dog in an NYC apartment. What even is the point? LET THEM BE FREE AND DO WHAT THEY WERE BRED FOR THEY YEARN FOR THE FIELD

I wish Biden had been a war hawk who shipped thousands of Bradleys to Ukraine. I wish our entire stockpile of 155mm rounds were used on Russian soldiers. There isn’t a single escalatory act NATO members could commit against Russia that I wouldn’t support.

Look, I know that nationalism is a helluva drug, but it really is incredible how many people convince themselves "our opponents are ontologically weak and incapable of responding to force with force so it will be easy to bring them to heel" despite the fact that this has worked approximately never.

Or they could respond basically the same way every society ever has responded to strategic bombing, which is a hardening of resolve to resist. acoup.blog/2022/10/21/c... It is difficult to imagine what news might be more warmly greeted in Kyiv than news that Putin had bombed Paris or Berlin.

Nathan For You episode where we meet a struggling lawyer who's depressed and wracked with guilt because she keeps screwing up all her cases and her clients end up in prison. Nathan helps her become the go to attorney for rich rapists.

Between the bipartisan gay panic and the Ritalin Generation discourse, I'm beginning to suspect that the UK has just now entered the early 2000s. I bet they're gonna love Mr Brightside by the Killers.

Like I get them letting Ossoff beat Collins to death with a baseball bat. That makes sense. I just couldn't believe that they let him drag Rick Johnson on stage and carve a swastika into his forehead with a bowie knife. I didn't think you could bring candidates from other races on stage like that

Ossoff: "They've unleashed federal agents to kill Americans on the streets of our cities with impunity. That's Mike Collins's immigration policy. And that's what you'd expect from the bigot congressman who called for executed immigrants by throwing to their deaths out of helicopters."

Gonna absolutely die laughing when Fable 6.5 comes out with the following proof 1) P = NP 2) Proves by demonstrating a polynomial time reduction in time n^(2^1419) 3) Proves but does not demonstrate that optimal reduction from NP complete is n^(173.45)

Are you fucking kidding me with this one

This is why religious statements on about AI like the pope's encyclical have been the most cogent public positions. They have a really clear ontology about this and have spent literally thousands of years thinking about stuff like physicalism vs dualism.

William B. Fuckley@opinionhaver.bsky.social

I don’t know why people won’t just say they believe in some version of the soul, yeah. It’s clearly what they substantively mean!

LLMs have shown a bunch of things I had thought of as being fun/interesting metaphors about cognition are literally true. Like finding out 'time heals all wounds' is a property of general relativity because a startup used this to make real life MedBeds and is now worth $1tn.

Also, in a tremendous blow to me personally, LLMs have definitively proven that 1) both mathematics and programming are actually wordcel activities 2) a lawyer is actually a type of SWE, so I can no longer accuse @theophite.bsky.social of stolen valor. I am holding on to sanity by a thin thread.

All I can say is "yes, your honor, I believe I can serve on this jury impartially :)"

This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.

McNulty blasts to an inspired victory in Montreal, holding off the world’s elite in well-timed solo attack.

Spooky Pumpkin Bread reposted

Brandon McNulty won USA's first men's world road race title since 1993 thanks to a collective that set its egos aside, while a leaderless chase group squabbled, Van der Poel's early aggression backfired and Belgium's bid fell apart. We analyse of 6h of pandemonium: www.rouleur.cc/racing/brand...

I'm gonna say something to you that I feel I want to say to a lot of people when talking about LLMs so sorry for singling you out and I hope I don't sound too rude, but do none of you bitches find any of this shit at least a little bit surprising? Everyone be talking like they saw this coming.

Dr. Dan the P(ancake Man)@anthromancer.com

language is how we abstract concepts. Seems like it’s 1:1, just expand meaning of “language” to include chunkable qualia

While I think it still remains to be seen if language itself is the core of human cognition, I would say it would have been non obvious to me until recently that you could take language itself and use it to reverse engineer the rest of human cognition/capability.

Genuinely wild to see the UK doing Ritalin Generation discourse in the year of our Lord 2026. They're getting hit with the full force of the 90s like smallpox reaching an uncontacted tribe.

Incredibly funny that the only AI generated art that has yet had any cultural impact is the "We Are Charlie Kirk" song. Cannot decide if this says something important about society.

William B. Fuckley@opinionhaver.bsky.social

AI geniunely democratizes the creation of art. This is mostly bad, because the average person has terrible taste.

FBI Director Kash Patel told lawmakers he changed the bureau's hiring standards to eliminate bestiality as an automatic disqualifier because he did not want to bar trafficking victims who had been forced to have sex with animals reut.rs/4yFCKuV

Yeah people are acting like it's idiotic the idea that weights could be copied, but I can tell you from first hand experience that weight exfiltration is something that model providers spend a non-trivial amount of time worrying about and it is not a problem that is easy to solve.

Nate Silver has an extremely high opinion of his ability to apply his intelligence way outside of its field of study and it is often hysterical. The worst parts of his book were the PDoom chapters. Absolute dogpoop stuff.

Favorables polls like this are useless they show you the "don't know"/"haven't heard of them" numbers. Most normal people probably do not know who Rubio or Ossoff are.

ghost malone ergo propter bones@proptermalone.bsky.social

a Democratic House or Senate with investigative powers is going to put Rubio's faves into a burlap sack and beat them for two years

I know that these babies are absolutely packed with weird shit, but I am really losing it at the idea of a 35 year old being gifted a "coming of age".
