Let’s see, and who was Hyundai’s main competitor at assembling EV batteries in the US? 🤔

Nah, as someone who gave an honest, college try at making use of OneDrive, I maintain its fate vis a vie the rusty hook.

“Windows meme makers, can you go five seconds without revealing your appalling lack of technical curiosity?”

Windows Meme Makers: “The C drive! … How long was that?”

A paycheck is a paycheck. Lots of us exchange our ego for daily bread — we have a club and everything. We meet every day after work at your local bar.

Oh yeah. Don’t you guys also do murder scene remediation?

“Computer, fix this code and don’t make mistakes.”

I wish the rest of the world would put us under trade embargo. The US imports an absolute fuckton of South Korean electronics and cars. KIA is quite well established here, especially as a budget car.

Jesus, South Korea, now would be a lovely time to instigate an international incident on behalf of all of the other countries currently being bullied by our racist federal government!

My problem is that I only want striped tree squirrels to munch on my junk. Any suggestions?

In the way humanity can study the structure of the brain despite being inside one, consciousness is just the means by which the Universe discovers itself. Or something, I don’t know, I’m high.

if you ask me, mushrooms are a bullshit double standard. THEY get to show their genitals to passing hikers in the state park, but when I do it, suddenly everyone gets real prudish? What’s THAT about?

Neato. Always cool to see a new approach. Synapse/Matrix is excellent, but, running a federated Matrix server is an exercise in frustration. So many version forks, so many hard crashes. :(

I wonder if it’s anything like the time that guy slapped him on the back in Duane Reade

AI photography is so stupid. That target’s got legs. Handsome ones, too.

Might not be what it was designed for, but OpenAI claims their newest model is “PHd-levels” of intelligent. I feel like if that were true, it would do that reliably. Instead, sometimes it ignores the tool it’s programmed to know how to use and just, y’know, wings it.

Which, fair, but that’s my job and it’s taken!

i think that these tools will probably be foundational to discovering more about the human mind and how words or images are received, stored, and assembled in the brain, but people like sam altman and elon musk are convinced that there is nothing else to a ‘person’ beyond that.

‘humanity’ is an emergent phenomenon, and that is what makes it special. a few other animals have the beginning of it, but none have all of it like we do. you don’t need a god or any kind of religion to understand this. as far as we know, we might be one of the least likely things to ever happen in the universe, ever.

Congressperson: “Okay, so, let me get this straight. Your company has spent over 20 billion dollars in pursuit of a fully autonomous digital intelligence, and so far, your peak accuracy rate for basic addition and subtraction is… what was it, again?”

Sam Altman: leans into microphone “About 60%, sir.”

[Congress erupts in a sea of ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’, as Sam Altman is carried away on top of the cheering crowd of Congresspeople wearing a crown of roses and a sash reading, “BEST INVESTMENT”]

Google Pixel 9 Pofessional. It’s the slightly cheaper version, on account that it got a little burned at the factory.

Fair enough. 👌
