It’s the biggest bubble in history because corporate leadership consistently falls for the reification fallacy.

So-called “AI” (specifically, large language models) are massively-multidimensional maps of human language use. They can be used to draw humanlike vectors through the phase space of all possible combinations of symbols, but they aren’t intelligent because human intelligence doesn’t come from the use of language. Rather, language comes from intelligence.

I’m 100% confident that Greenland could repel a U.S. invasion based on nothing more than the fact that the U.S.A. has never fought a war in arctic conditions. It’d be like trying to invade Russia in wintertime.

I’m pretty sure illegally withholding state funding is also a serious crime.

Continuing to fund anti-abortion efforts even as they pay for another mistress’ mysterious trips out of state.

Gyoza

And they’ll use a bunch of teens straight out of high-school that still have youthful reaction times instead.

Move to Washington D.C. or Cheyenne Wyoming, if you’re inside the blast radius then you won’t have to live to see the world end.

I just want to see him forced to work a minimum-wage job for a living.

As an enby who’s best described as “the polar opposite of an agender person”, I experience gender both intrinsically and extrinsically. Dysphoria is a good example of the former; I used to have a deep and profoundly uncomfortable sense of “wrongness” about my body, like the feeling of wearing your shoes on the wrong feet but for skin texture, body odor, the shape of one’s hands, vocal pitch, etc etc etc.

Extrinsically, I’m mostly seen as a guy, which can be irritating when it results in getting called “Sir”, or a pleasant experience when someone recognizes that I’m not one of the guys.

Yeah, even scarier. =D

A runaway supermassive is even moreso.

Like, what the absolute fuck could have happened to give the core of a galaxy that much velocity?

That’s not how America works, sadly.

Depends on the pellet gun. The spring-powered ones are pretty quiet, but if it uses compressed air or CO2 cartridges then there’s a bit of a pop when the gasses escape from behind the pellet.

It’s useful in situations where there are no wrong answers, like brainstorming, but that’s about it.

Are they hiring? My last job fired me because I refused to use the useless LLMs they spent millions on.

If only it worked like that! XD

TBH, I wish I could do group health insurance at a decent rate, but the only options are to cover a single partner or a single partner and dependents…

I’ve been waiting for this for years. I can’t wait to eat the first celebrity that donates some cells for a tie-in promo with Taco Bell. That shit is going to be so mid and our nightmare cyberpunk future is incomplete without it. XD

That’s the smart move, especially if they have somewhere that they can lie low 'til the dust settles and the heat wears off.

My life is… complicated.

None, but the married couple I’ve been with for a while finally popped the question to me last week. 🥰
