Brave Little Hitachi Wand

How long did that take?

Memory is done for. We need computers that just forget things, like a cool person.

Right, I just think okay, let’s say a superintelligent AI does come into being and decides to retroactively judge everyone with maximum prejudice. Do you actually have a use for people with no self-respect? Smart money says such a being is totally self-sufficient, and has no time for anybody boring or tedious.

Because an all powerful AI would definitely respect a basic Pascal’s Wager bootlicker.

That is the diagonal opposite of my point, sorry no.

Kinda fun how you wanted to call out an overemphasis on tone but the only thing you’re noticing is what I sound like. I’ll try to be clearer next time, I can be slightly cryptic.

40% of women feels like not a huge amount less? Happy for y’all to score the point, don’t get me wrong. It just feels like the headline is looking to stoke gender divisions more than point out that a good near-half of everybody is bluffing.

I want a full panel with Nixie tube odometer, analogue dials, and a huge, rustic jackknife switch that throws a bunch of sparks when it turns the car on. Any physical buttons should have the loudest mechanical keyboard switches available so that I can hear them clearly with music on.

Researchers: “…So, how do we tell them that the danger is oligarchs?”

Disingenuous username much?

Really?

…Shit, I guess I need to actually see this film before I talk about it. I assumed it was mere Oscar-bait and just absorbed information about it osmotically. I wasn’t even mad at them, just thought oh, they found a guy who looks exactly like David Byrne, of course they wanted him for their Oscar bait film.

Those are not the choices I would have made if I was telling a story about the guy who built the bomb. I would have probably drawn a lot more from sources like Barefoot Gen, myself.

I really agree. For genuinely talking about the senseless horror of those bombings, especially the callous afterthought that was Nagasaki, I prefer Dan Carlin’s podcast series.

You’re conflating the people who did that and the people who made a movie, if you want to throw a “nukes are a war crime” party I’m already on the guest list, but your comment reads like you’re talking shit about people who don’t like nukes and didn’t nuke anybody, are you confused about that?

Pretty sure different people made the film. What, are they supposed to be proud so it’s more fun to hate them?

Ah but you see, when something is hot it makes closeted conservatives uncomfortable.

You see the problem? To a conservative, nothing is more illegal than making them personally uncomfortable. And nobody is more inherently conservative than a billionaire media mogul.

Classy as hell. Love the pipes.

That’s the real truth. Run like hell when luckless chumps show up looking all enthusiastic

Awoken at 4 will do that. I’m beyond coffee.

Sometimes I prefer a malaphor though (or possibly it’s malaprop when it’s a simile?)

That’s a high-voltage simile right there, goddamn

Edit: and yes, on my high end custom rig it goes like greased shit through a… Lightning… Pig?

Like, young at heart or young enough to trust a fart?

I have that instance blocked, so I guess we’re experiencing very different versions of Lemmy.
