I’ve been laughing at this quote for 5 minutes straight
It’s so good
He knows he’s right
Also: I code sometimes, and all of my code is of masterpiece quality. I cannot debug my own code, I ask for outside help and we have to dismantle the NT kernel to find out what’s gone wrong
They’re eating your cats! They’re eating your dogs!
They’re eating your babi aborting your babies!
Me, making sure I’m not watching The Onion News
I voted for Jill once, and then she came out against vaccinations during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic and I realized she was an idiot.
She’s as much green as she is dressed in green - just empty platitudes for people obsessed with the “sanctity of their body”.
I’m still formally registered with both parties, but I get invited to vote in the Dem Primaries way more often
We need actually competent third parties, just being on the fringe doesn’t make you competitive
Damn. Reading this comment is humbling.
If you had to make a sequel to DOTA/DOTA2, what would it be?
Deadlock seeks to be that sequel, but I personally don’t really see it just yet
they live like miserable gods preoccupied with escaping from reality
It’s because they realize something as they age: For all their wealth, they are still mortal, their physical bodies will decline, and their egotistical, narcissistic lifetime will ultimately amount to absolutely nothing as they rot in the ground and cease existing like everyone else.
Mortality puts things into perspective for those people because they’re driven by a philosophical imperative that’s borderline pathological in nature:
Donald Trump watched the video of himself almost getting headshot on repeat, 9 times a day. Some said it was PTSD, but that’s assuming a lot.
Elon Musk is quoted as saying in The Atlantic that he’s “rigged for war”.
Well, what war? War against who? Against what?
"Escaping from the matrix seems like “a war against reality itself”.
We can only be so lucky that none of those fucks will ever attain apotheosis or immortality no matter how hard they try.
Maybe that’s why they’re so bent on destroying the planet – if they can’t have it, so can’t you.
Yeah, it’s definitely a vibe. I took a wormhole (time travel) to 1991, walked into a blockbuster and keeled over from nostalgia.
Nostalgia is such a complex/convoluted feeling – you can’t have it if you didn’t have a past to draw the experience from, but when you do have it, it’s almost like a religious or philosophical experience both acknowledging and becrying (or grieving) the passage of time.
Unfortunately, even with a “time machine”, we the people who walk through the portals are ever changed. We won’t ever live in the past again. We can see those places and experience them in our present states, but…
Just like a glass shattering on the ground and the pieces scattering: Entropy cannot be undone.
Well, how disappointed are you feeling, personally?
Do you see your negative opinions of generative AI becoming more intense, or deeper within the next 6-12 months, or have they hit a plateau of sustained disappointment mediated by the prior 6-12 months?

Majora’s Mask… Summer Vacation…
Oh my god …
Damn dude, thanks for the heads up. Would’ve never caught the trailer on my own.
I was in the Gothic Remake Beta, so I got to see some of that content already, but it was YEARS ago. From what I can recall, it’s going to be excellent.
Huh. That’s strange, when I reloaded the page, there was an entirely different set of comments. Anyone know why? Lemmy shenanigans?

So we’re looking at a 4.7GB model, or just a hair under the tiniest, most incredibly optimized implementation of <INSERT_MODEL_NAME_HERE>
Sorry, but because you want to go to hell, we can’t let you in.
You know – corporate policy.
We had one too many run-ins with people chasing the succubi. I’m sure you understand. Check your local DMV if you want a clarification of our rules. 😎
I distinctly remember the first few members of the page where Satoshi posted his whitepaper, the original .PDF outlining Bitcoin in the famous September 2008 thread on SA (SomethingAwful).
Craig or Christopher Wright was one of the usernames, and he claimed to be an Australian Investment Banker.
He and Satoshi used different usernames, and went offline at different intervals. That doesn’t mean much but we began to speculate that Wright was Satoshi, just swapping over accounts, because we were all teenagers and speculation was fun (like trying to ascertain the identity of Moot on 4chan).
Obviously none of that ended up being true because Satoshi completely fucked off the Internet in ~2012.
From what I’ve heard on the grapevine, he’s living out on a farm in Oregon with his autistic sister and has completely turned his back on the Internet and financial markets/industrial society as a whole, given what they did to his starry-eyed ideological digital based currency, turning it into yet another instrument of slavery rather than a means to liberation.
But we’ll never know.
Well, which circle of hell are you currently on? We need to ascertain that before you can formally appeal.

I remember reading that from 2021-2023, LLMs generated more text than all humans had published combined - so arguably, actually human generated text is going to be a rarity
I live in NYC, and I read this story yesterday, and they didn’t shoot the guy for hopping the turnstile / not paying the $2.90, they chased him and tried to give him a $100-150 fine; but the guy lunged at them with a knife.
The cops panicked and began firing because they don’t have H2H training, and their aim is obviously shit. It’s so shit, that I think they missed their taser shot as well before hitting random people in the crowd with their sidearms.
Not defending the police but the meme’s a gross oversimplification. Those guys need more training and probably a suspension until they finish a full course of training, or a dismissal (or perhaps even up to and including manslaughter charges) depending on if the bystanders live or not.
I wish shit like this wasn’t as common as it is. So many innocent people and dogs die each month due to police incompetence.
