We had an IRC bot at the first software company I worked at that ingested conversation along with all the contents of some books from Project Gutenberg, all for the purposes of making the bot say silly things.

Oh, it’s the usual suspects. For fucks sake.

A world of neverending “Fuck everyone involved” situations is a lot less fun than I would like to imagine. That said, Apple has probably perpetrated all sorts of theft on its own before the LLM era, so this is funny as all hell.

Elon’s sad birthday pics he posted using his sock puppet account where he pretends to be his mom should be a top level comment here, also is hilarious but sad.

not going on LinkedIn I would imagine.

Between this and Elon’s sad AI birthday party pics, I came to the conclusion that the default consensus for anything someone who’s wealth exceeds a certain amount says should be ruled horseshit with no further verification needed. Yeah, occasionally there will be a pony under all that shit but it ain’t worth digging for when it’s there.

Anyways, calling horseshit on this because even if parts of it aren’t, they aren’t important compared to the greater horseshit coming from a guy who has an autoimmune disease like Bryan Johnson, that disease being “everything out of Bryan Johnson’s mouth is horseshit”

I’m thinking about going back to school and seeking a manufacturing job because even though I have been doing software professionally for 22 years, the entire industry is fucked by short term thinking and ignoring consequences.

copper surfaces tend to discourage bacterial growth, which is an important feature for pipes that supply potable water where there isn’t a constant moving water supply. Having bacteria that thrive instead of die in the presence of copper means that your whole water supply can get a bacterial infection it cannot shake.

Someone wanted to marry that?

I’m going to take a guess that the reactor design is one of the boiling water reactors engineered in the 1950s.

Also jesus christ just build solar already it’s much easier than trying to design an entire nuclear fuel supply chain.

Also they couldn’t be arsed to make the eggs come from the goose’s arse.

GOOSE WAS NOT VALUED

CW: slides (and link to the original deck) from absolutely brain-melted SoftBank presentation.

Edit: there is video

to be fair, the plan would have worked if you had included the allotted number of goblins in the box in addition to the packing material.

“And then I said to her, ‘This Atlas is Shrugged but mine isn’t’, gesticulating at my crotch”

Still a fuck-everyone-involved but not as much as the Elon suit.

This is what you get when you take Dr. Strangelove (the character in the movie of the same name), Mr. Beast, and a bunch of K and mix it into a slurry and mainline it.

dogshit bread is the future, so you better get over it.

I think Trash Future had a great statement when Richard Dawkins was going on about Claudia that applies to this, which was “you don’t have put in the the newspaper that you hug your stuffed animals and tell them good night.”

The “C is too hard for the AI so have the AI rewrite it in Rust” take is just so galaxy-brained.

I’m waiting for the “who contributed what under what conditions”. I’m wondering how much of the supposed money follows a rather ovoid trajectory.
