I’m already homeless and I’ve got an okay job. So I either I keep living like I do or things become too expensive and I die.

It was absolutely fantastic to see. I think a lot of my amazement at it was simply because of the medium. The quality of everything is incredible, especially considering it’s all stop motion. The story itself is good, I have no real complaints besides tiny nitpicks about pacing. It’s a very fast paced movie, which makes things feel a bit underdeveloped, but it’s also very exciting.

Definitely. I couldn’t afford to anyway, but I would not want to be one of the early adopters. But eventually, they’ll be hacked and it’ll be possible to remove any insidious corporate “features” and I’d be left with all the benefits.

My assumption was that some other drunk person found it on the ground and thought it would be easier for the owner to find if they came back because the branch was a bit below eye level. I definitely thought it was an odd place to find a key, but I wasn’t too worried. At that point I had found maybe 20 keys that year. Drunk college kids lose them a lot.

The vast majority I’ve found just lying by the curb, usually in downtown areas. I’ve also found few during a few different jobs.

One that I can remember I found on top of a branch of a tree by the sidewalk. It was an unusually long key that I noticed when I stumbled into the tree on my way home drunk from a college party.

I used to worry a lot about them and the people looking for them, but I’ve tried to report them in the past but the owner never turned up. People worry about losing keys, but the reality is theres way too many locks to ever know what it goes to.

I actually have a collection of keys Ive found on the street while walking around. I have over 300 keys so far. They’re all on a bunch of varying sized key rings all connected together. It’s fascinating to see the different kinds and wonder why the person lost them. Some of them I can remember picking up a lot of them I don’t though.

I really don’t see a problem unless you equate being gay with being bad or undesirable in some way. Who’s reading an article about butt plugs and only feels shame in their interest when gay people are brought up?

Nothing. You can’t logic someone out of a position they didn’t use logic to get to in the first place. There’s way more unmotivated and un-mobilized people out there that believe in human caused climate change that are more worth your time and energy.

Mine just says I like analog and vintage photography stuff and lacy and shiny clothes. Neither of which are very shocking.

I live kind of in the metro NY area and I go to the city a lot. I’ve only ever heard “I got on the line” or “Are you on the line?” otherwise it would be “get in line” or “I’m in line for …”

Overall though, that article feels really dated. The famous NYC accent has been fading in recent years. I haven’t heard many of the features listed in that article and more still I’ve only heard from old people.

Ask them about it. That’s a wild title and it’s a well worn book. There’s gotta be some interesting stories behind it.

I’ve had my iPhone 11 for 7 years. I have no strong desire for a new one either. I just need to replace the battery on this one and it should be good a for a few more years.

I got a union job and made the bed in my car nice and comfy

LLMs are not intelligent. They lack morals, knowledge, and intent. The only remote risk of extermination is if a company with absolute impunity and endless resources told an LLM to hack the nuclear weapons and if knowledge of how to do that was already published online and processed as training data.

LLMs cannot do anything new, they can only regurgitate information thats already been stolen.

Ed Zitron’s podcast “Better Offline” recently talked about this. There is a small tech community called the Rationalists who believe AI super intelligence is inevitable and it will either accelerate humanity to new heights or kill off the species. These rationalists are actually a very prominent faction within tech and the AI industry. Apparently the language used within top AI firms is largely about the immense danger posed by AI super intelligence if any other group or company were to achieve it first. This creates an echo chamber that makes the people in the industry kind of lose their mind and misinterpret the capability of LLMs.

Everyone outside that faction recognizes that LLMs are just unreliable cloud software with limited use cases and that there’s no evidence LLMs could actually lead to any kind of intelligence.

Edit: Please, someone stop me from commenting on an AI post next time I’m tempted. I’m so tired of people replying, arguing with opinions I don’t have, based entirely around a hypothetical technology that doesn’t exist yet. LLMs make slop. Thats it. They hacked a company after weeks of 100s of instances being run, using old exploits published online. San Francisco will be underwater from climate change before LLMs can do anything more.

yeah I did realize that after thinking about it. Still I’m not sure. I guess it depends on what that experience is like.

Well I imagined we were talking about an imaginary sci-fi technology. Obviously it would be more complicated and possibly at risk for some kind of manipulation in real life. If I were presented a teleporter where the only fault is a philosophical question about being a copy, then I don’t mind being a copy and my original self dying.

So what? There would be persistent awareness. The new me would remember everything up to the old me’s death and keep living. I’m fine with that.

I have no idea what you mean lol
