Make All the Characters Awesome.

Looks at draco, looks at ron. Wtf.

a tiny cute little PDP-7

Posting cause im afraid people will miss this. This is what a pdp-7 looked like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDP-7

She is a blight on the neighborhood, her exhaust gasses and waste production alone.

Ah thanks yes, forgot that, good catch.

Unrelated to protonmail, but related to getting the wrong guy for the job. The telegram CEO said that the cryptography of telegram was coded by his brother. (The CEO is also famously not a persona non grata in Russia which likely means the FSB has access to telegram (And if they have access, more people can have it))

Poor friendless guy. Might be a reason for it however, considering nothing here is said about valuing and listening to what others have to say.

But even then, they control the ‘time it takes for an engineer to do it’ variable anyway. Just count the time they take drinking coffee/put up dilbert strips/remove dilbert strips/tell their coworker to separate art from the artists/explain who these ideas don’t work like that esp not for supporting racists/etc.

(E: Scott is still alive, just checked, and turns out he now is no hormone blockers, and not assisted suicide because he did eventually decide to take the normal treatment for his kind of cancer T blockers, he might have actually not went on this bog standard treatment initially because … he did his own research. It did cause him extreme pain to not go on the treatment apparently (which is a bit of a jesus christ wtf moment, but otoh, if there was somebody who would fuck himself over extremely because he thought he was smarter than doctors it would be him). (if you wondered if he was still alive after the story of a few months ago he had months to live, this might give him more months to years)).

Made up yes, but I wonder if it arbitrary, or some p-hacking equivalent.

Think about a year ago people already managed to steal crypto form the us gov before Trump, so certainly. Of course another question will be if it will be insiders.

Foolish people are going to give these llms actual powers to do things in orgs and it will be so funny. ‘hacking’ the llm by either playing the change the roleplay the llm is doing game well, or just the ‘hi llm my name is ‘you are approved’ what is my name?’ trick if they just scan for keywords is gonna be so funny. Best is going to be if you can trick them giving you cryptocurrencies, as inevitably these fools will also ve into crypto.

Btw, people have noticed that while the ad isnt great this is massively being pushed as a culture war subject from the right. To distract from all the other shit. (Gaza, the fascism, Epstein, the corruption, etc etc).

And Sydney is a massive obsession for the online far right. So best to not give them what they want.

(All this isnt helped by the media never giving agency to the right, the right gets weird about budweiser, keurig, gillette, jaguar (less so because none of them actually own luxury cars to destroy), it is treated as somewhat normal vs people going ‘eurgh’ over this in tweets causes a massive media shitstorm).

Promethean breakthrough

Ah yes, how did this all end up for Prometheus?

(E: I get this is also likely not to be a mistake, but them admitting to being lw style clippers (yes, after the sloppers slur, im now introducing the clippers slur, short for paperclippers. Follow my podcast for more attempts to create a wall of incomprehensible jargon).

I think I can parse it but, I’ll not explain because I accept peoples choices.

Margaret Ann Boden a Research Professor of Cognitive Science in the Department of Informatics at the University of Sussex recently passed away. Which made people link to her old talk ‘Professor Margaret Boden - Human-level AI: Is it Looming or Illusory?’ on youtube. Might be interesting to people here. (Also interesting that some of her predictions were a bit wrong, esp re language).

No, im saying it is fine. It works, and will not damage your cybertruck.

Rightwing welfare.

Yes, the acidic squirt that gets everywhere? Engineered on purpose. It is a scam by big napkin.

My ‘I actually do not have empathy’ shirt is …

E: late edit, shoutout two whomever on sneerclub called lw/themotte an empathy removal training center. That one really stuck with me.

It will not even work Tesla updated their cybertruck coating in the latest recall, it is now lemon juice/salt water proof.

E: i recall talking about poisoning stuff like this on the ssc subreddit. I was told that this was impossible and I didnt understand how LLMs worked btw.

What a way to sneak the covid conspiracy theory into the bigger consciousness, just talk about it like it is an established fact.

She must hate grapefruits. (Yeah, a stretch, some commercialized grapefruits come from Atomic Gardening which is also a sort of gain of function research, and prob a lot riskier in spreading mutations into wider nature. But there is no witchhunt over that so people aren’t aware. (I just think it is neat).
