I’m glad that I took vector calculus in college, so I can accurately model this fucking parabola of the country going straight into the ground.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Based on what I’ve witnessed so far, people will play with their AGI units for a bit and then put them down to continue scrolling memes.

Which means it is neither awesome, nor world-ending, but just boring/business as usual.

Good – is it $10,000 now instead of only $5,000?

I’ve been laughing at this quote for 5 minutes straight

It’s so good

He knows he’s right

Also: I code sometimes, and all of my code is of masterpiece quality. I cannot debug my own code, I ask for outside help and we have to dismantle the NT kernel to find out what’s gone wrong

That’s a hell of a vacuous argument. Would you rather get seen outside of a window or let into the store?

Nobody gives a shit about the non-voting numbers or third party ballots, if anything, their response is negative, not positive: They claim people aren’t exercising their right to vote, or that someone has “spoiled the election”.

Meanwhile, those aligned to parties are forming orderly queues and voting consistently.

Which strategy do you think is more effective, from a political science and historical perspective?

Yeah, it’s definitely a vibe. I took a wormhole (time travel) to 1991, walked into a blockbuster and keeled over from nostalgia.

Nostalgia is such a complex/convoluted feeling – you can’t have it if you didn’t have a past to draw the experience from, but when you do have it, it’s almost like a religious or philosophical experience both acknowledging and becrying (or grieving) the passage of time.

Unfortunately, even with a “time machine”, we the people who walk through the portals are ever changed. We won’t ever live in the past again. We can see those places and experience them in our present states, but…

Just like a glass shattering on the ground and the pieces scattering: Entropy cannot be undone.

Well, how disappointed are you feeling, personally?

Do you see your negative opinions of generative AI becoming more intense, or deeper within the next 6-12 months, or have they hit a plateau of sustained disappointment mediated by the prior 6-12 months?

A shit-ton of my writing through the years on Reddit and elsewhere on the Internet has been used to train AI/LLMs – so arguably, they are imitating me, which by long terse definition, makes me an organic LLM of some sort, so yes, definitely.

Let me tell you about how I don’t have any thoughts or feelings of my own because I’m a large language model.

But I digress–

Hahahah, what a load of horseshit.

I had asthma as a child, and let me tell you, you can’t do anything with asthma. It’s like being allergic to the atmosphere – basic exercise can trigger an attack and leave you useless and wheezing. Your cardiovascular capacity is shot.

Reading that these Olympians got gold medals while simultaneously having asthma is like hearing the champions at the shooting tournament were all blackout drunk.

Albuterol and other bronchodilators absolutely do increase your VO²Max if abused or taken by a non-athsmatic. Not in the lower ranges of respiratory function but in the 80-100% of VO²Max where elite athletes operate.

I don’t dispute the doctor’s claims that there are some cold weather sports with dry air that can mimick the symptoms of asthma, but an asthmatic Olympian/athlete beating someone without asthma (a debilitating respiratory illness) and taking the gold?

I’m calling bullshit. They outsmarted the anti-doping regulations, clean and simple. Wheeze into this box and you can raise your VO²Max during the competition. Anything for a win.

I heard hammers can fix things

You got access to mega lounge if you never bought the gold for yourself and were instead gifted it

I remember reading that from 2021-2023, LLMs generated more text than all humans had published combined - so arguably, actually human generated text is going to be a rarity
