Leftwing crypto fans are the epitome of the Horseshoe theory

Chicken is even considered a good food for chickens. Won’t hurt them, plenty of protein, and they’ll gladly pick the bones clean of scraps

That’s what they used to say about cows too…

Those videos and pics aren’t even remotely good though…

Highvelocity scissors sounds like it would score mad karma on NCD.

More realistically, a fuckload of old-fashioned rapid fire lead will work better against them, since the drones can’t really dodge and weave well, and they’re less fast on account of a big spool of fiber.

Also, the age of aquarius starts somewhere around 2600. Or if you’re not really into actual astronomy, but instead prefer nonsense, somewhere between 1962 and 2024, depending on how you define the word “in”.

Gluttony: I desire all the penises and will waste them garishly on myself in excess in all sorts of ways.

Greed: I must own and control all the penises.

Lust: I desire penises above all else and want them to fuck me specifically.

Sure, a mechanical sorting machine using ML software is something completely different from what they’re talking about here though

It absolutely wont. The only people who believe this are trying to sell AI, or repeating the ones selling AI.

Nobody has a marketable AI product, nobody is making any money on AI, nobody is effectively using AI as a replacement for workers except in the content-slop industry. Not out of charity, but because LLMs can’t do the things that are being constantly promised.

Amazon spend a hundred billion dollars on AI, and made 5 billion on it. That’s income, not profit. OpenAI is scraping together more capital because they’re going broke from not having a product to sell. Everyone using LLMs for anything right now is paying FAR under operating costs, and would stop immediately if they weren’t being funded by VC.

In the news next week: US federal bank defunded, everyone fired.

And as Millennials/Zs/As are umshackled,

They’re not though. They’re very rigidly stuck inside little Identity boxes anyway. You’re automatically “trans coded” if you’re a guy but like dresses, looking pretty and shaving. There’s no reason to make those feminine traits though. Real liberation means we ditch the whole thing.

It won’t happen while I’m alive. Current LLMs are basically parrots with a lot of experience, and will never get close to AGI. We’re no closer today than when a computer first passed the Turing test in the 60s.

Your internal tests looked good, the problems YOU thought were useful worked well.

The only job AI is great at, is someone else job. YOUR job is complex and nuanced and has challenging aspects, but someone else’s job is easy, AI could do it easily.

They cancelled 1, scrapped 2, are “refitting” one and using one.

Kirov/Ushakov had a “reactor incident” on its 2nd deployment, and since it was 1990, the Naval budget was some large negative number and it was never fixed.

Frunze/Lazarev sailed to the Pacific Fleet, then spent 5 years sailing around their home water, 7 years doing nothing, 6 years fueled in dock and 15 years as a rusting hulk before being scrapped. Again, no money.

Kalinin/Nakhimov actually did stuff until 1997 and has spent every single day since then “undergoing refit”. It will return to service next year in the same way Elon Musk is going to Mars next year.

Andropov/Pyotr Veliki is actually in active service in the Northern fleet, actually goes on long trips and does exercises, like a normal ship does. It only got declared a deathtrap unfit for use once, in 2004, and seems to be doing OK now. It’s massively outdated though, and is said to be withdrawn when Nakhimov is finished refitting (so never)

Ah, indeed I did misread that.

An 80 year conflict by Ukraine against the people of the Donbas?

Someone refresh my mind, what did we call Ukraine 80 years ago? I’m sure it was part of some kind of group or communal organisation of sorts.

Edit: reading is hard. It says “eight” not “eighty”

I mean, I still love American Gods, Good omens and Neverwhere. I just stopped recommending them to people.

I need that outfit!

I thought that was the idea behind the second amendment

No, the idea was that a good militia is all you need to keep a country safe, and that a federal army is a tool for government oppression. That’s what the writers saw all over Europe at the time, so they made sure the fix that in their new country.

And then everyone pretended that wasn’t the case

That’s mostly because google search has turned to absolute shit. ChatGPT rarely returns anything useful either, unless you want the most absolutely mundane answers. Anything remotely niche or specific has a far too great chance of just being plain wrong.

LLMs are a way to turn hundreds of billions of dollars into mediocre slop content that nobody wants to pay for. Humans will generate mediocre slop content for a fraction of the cost.

There is no way LLMs of this kind will ever be remotely affordable, and I fully expect OpenAI to fold in a few years. Amazon and Microsoft are already bailing out on LLM, realizing they’ll never pay off.
