“Info sec is full of Jews”

What the hell does this even mean?

You gotta remember, ALL of the chips are on this guy, the base hates most of the policy and could barely name any of the cabinet, they’re just there for the figurehead.

Since when in this administration did a discussion being in the early stages stop an announcement?

Remember that time that Microsoft sunk a data center in the ocean, proved this was cost effective, was reliable and could scale? And now it’s been five years and nothing happened? Yeah that was annoying.

Anyway their site of glowing press releases is still up for some reason

Computers use electricity to do math. The more electricity you have, the more math you can do. In order to do the math, the electricity is handled in a way that outputs heat. Unfortunately, the most reliable, cost effective and plentiful materials that allow electricity to do a lot of math also get heavily impacted by heat.

Noted.

I calmed down and started searching for some recommendations to counter this view.

Although at the moment I still think The Chinese Room argument doesn’t prove what Searle thinks it does.

Wow, agents built to monitor and reflect human behaviour, accurately model and reproduce human behaviour.

This is what is what shits me off when people complain “Oh this AI isn’t real AI” or “This isn’t consciousness” The limiting factor is is the training data. Humans have just had a few more million years of training data passed on through genetics. It’s replication and fakery all the way down. If this is you, if you fucking need the reassurance that you are better at being fucking conscious compare to a machine fuck the fuck right off and go do something amazing with it then. Compose something. Create something. Feel the wind in your hair and the sand at your feet. Fuck off, we’re all dirt.

Thanks to how public presential correspondence is (usually, but probably not any more) public record, we know what two previous presidents called their penises.

I think the funniest thing anyone could do right now would be for HBO Max to delist the episode of Big Bang Theory he is in, because over two dozen posts he would

1. Claim he hates streaming
2. Complain that this is censorship and platforms shouldn’t be allowed to remove or restrict content
3. Talk about the viewing figures and repost the promotion of the currently airing second spin off and the upcoming third spin off
4. Nonchalantly state that no one likes or cares about The Big Bang Theory anymore or ever did
5. @jim parsons for help
6. Someone would mention that an episode revolves around his plans to get someone to Mars by 2020
7. Delete all these tweets

It’s an extreme version of the sunk cost fallacy. His believers are the type of people who think that changing your mind is a sign of weakness. For America to pass this period, a lot of these people will expect a Pact of Forgetting type situation so they don’t have to answer for what they were encouraging.

Not sure how long they’ll work, but here’s the direct link to the audio from the article.

To be fair, he’s annoyed at them having missiles, he had no problem selling them as long as he could profit.

If you’re willing to look, you can always find a hater

I find it really frustrating that supporters of Open Protocols appear to live in cognitive dissonance of both wanting to be “used by everyone” and “to be a small gated community”.

You can’t keep money out forever and with that does come influence which I know. But eventually wouldn’t you like to talk to your mother on a protocol you trust, with a client she understands?

I know there’s people who could articulate it better than I can, but my logic goes like this:

• Loss of critical thinking skill: This doesn’t just apply for someone working on a software project that they don’t really care about. Lots of coders start in their bedroom with notepad and some curiosity. If copilot interrupts you with mediocre but working code, you never get the chance to learn ways of solving a problem for yourself.
• Style: code spat out by AI is a very specific style, and no amount of prompt modifiers with come up with the type of code someone designing for speed or low memory usage would produce that’s nearly impossible to read but solves for a very specific case.
• If everyone is a coder, no one is a coder: If everyone can claim to be a coder on paper, it will be harder to find good coders. Sure, you can make every applicant do FizzBuzz or a basic sort, but that does not give a good opportunity to show you can actually solve a problem. It will discourage people from becoming coders in the first place. A lot of companies can actually get by with vibe coders (at least for a while) and that dries up the market of the sort of junior positions that people need to get better and promoted to better positions.
• When the code breaks, it takes a lot longer to understand and rectify when you don’t know how any of it works. When you don’t even bother designing or completing a test plan because Cursor developed a plan, which all came back green, pushed it during a convenient downtime and has archived all the old versions in its own internal logical structure that can’t be easily undone.

Mum wanted to make it everyone else’s problem that she can’t have a frank discussion about sex with her own son so probably been making poor judgements all the way through

It’s surprising how few supporters you get when they aren’t allowed to criticise you in any way
