gay sloth is over time for gay pride

dear developer! always pin package versions

waiting for the boss monster (OpenAI) to perish so we can collect the loot (internal research reports)

natural language processing is not enough we must do natural language processing processing

don't be normal. be kind

me: why do i keep coming back to this soul-poisoning app also me: YEAAAH REPTILE DRAWING 🦎🦎🦎 GIVE THEM LEGS AND A JOB I WANT TO SEE THEM AT THE BAR TODAY

lol so helpful then that law doesn't usually prohibit military personnel from inflicting harm (because that's their job, duh)

i have designed my own version of a bed optimised for non-monogamy. i hope you like my very good graphic design skills

the austrians stole jewrovision

You must outlast them, for the funny if nothing else

a thing about AI is when it was used to detect cancer and research DNA no one gave a shit except some biomed nerds, while techbros were going on about the dangers of skynet or w/e, but now that it promises to replace workers it's technology of the future and we're all luddites

It would be morally bad if billions died in a collapse of industrial civilization, which is unlikely to happen.

And let's also keep in mind that Russia didn't always celebrate "Victory Day" - 9th of May - with such pomp and military vigor. For the first few decades they didn't even throw a yearly parade; it used to be a more mellow day, rejoicing at the end to the suffering and occupation.

we still have many issues in computer vision technology because it takes an extra mental step to go "training data should be diverse for robustness on people who don't look like me..." since imagining people who look (or, for the neutrality topic, behave) different is a skill relegated to humanities

how it started how it's going

on sun-doused stone spreads scales like autumn leaves and yells at heaven

green and twitchy and lurking in corners

omw to leverage AI to spend 15 seconds to semi-truthfully tell me a fact that I could have directly googled in 5 or recalled in 3

“Why do you want this job” is the most perverse fucking question. I don’t want it. I WANT to take five naps and watch pornography at 11 in the morning. Requiring me to blow smoke up your ass in exchange for maybe giving me subsistence level wages is pathetic and gross.

All of these spoke to me, deeply.

Self Made Man 🌙 Redux

ow my nuts!

it's all sensible in a way free market implies freedom to weaponize market advantages OPEC and oil US and dollars it's funny and annoying that there's a country with market control over money itself

instead of "how do we make machines that let more people engage in creative and academic endeavors" the question pivots to "how do we make machines that let more product be created with fewer people" and the answers are the same only up to a point

we should really help venture capitalists "venture forth" to the "great unknown". to the "final frontier" even

not having the AI convo anymore i’m just sending people this

forgot to post la creature

Trump's 3/27 executive order targets the Smithsonian for advancing "the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct." Trump argues that the exhibit's statement, below, is unscientific. He's wrong. As a biology professor and population geneticist, I agree with every word of it.

"Compartmentalization": In forestry, we know that trees cannot 'heal'. Instead, they seal their wounds away under layers of themself.
