is that basque space program reference?

tvs were made before fr4 was a thing

that’s because the right thing is to switch to bike

TVs made to soviet design famously caught fire, this was before this all printed circuit board deal was perfected. they just used cardboard-like material for that, it was flammable, absorbed water over time, and there were too closely spaced traces with high voltage on them

People just don’t remember shit that broke down quickly

If they wanted to show exponential relationship, then exponential scale would work better, but i think it was just a ceiling on former benchmarks

just yesterday that motherfucker posted allegation that “slop” is a word from nazi vocabulary. so that bitch says that any criticism of ai is far right signifier actually. as in, the product being sold on a promise of displacing all labour and redirecting all wealth to five sfba dipshits, and cooking brains of maga boomers worldwide as we speak

i also like how they skipped the part where it was 10k (or whatever) instances running in parallel

mirai also was spotted ten years ago, and if iot push happened earlier so would it

Maybe you can pull it off WW2 style by adding a couple % of aniline to unleaded gasoline

As if insufficient volume of text output was ever a problem among lesswrongers

I think the problem is that you can recognize all the words without having read the same obscure sci-fi stories as Yud.

i mean that’s why we all are here, the problem is that they have thiel’s money and white house advisors

And yet so much less plausible than “diamondoid nanobacteria”

drexler is a hack and yud’s nanobots can’t grow, can’t divide (they’re made from stiff material), can’t self-repair (it’s one piece), and would turn out to be extremely expensive coal dust fire, and that’s before you look too closely, so i wouldn’t say that because iot devices at least aren’t forbidden by known laws of physics

but it has to work, it was foretold in ai in a box prophecy

it’s not shutting down so far, and if anyone buys that part it will remain up

oh no no no that there will be revolutionary machine god made by them is basically their religious dogma

rats’ best thought out attempt at immanentizing eschaton

not done yet

Under this ​process, Disney’s bid would set a baseline offer while allowing competing bidders to submit higher bids, and the company expects ​the sale process to conclude by late November or ​early December 2026.

perhaps them, and maybe these are linked to identities of users

or maybe they genuinely ran out of vc money

okay but there’s no way lung cancer catches up to them before incoming ai winter will

i also like how they’re not even considering that “there is no meaningful improvement” might be an option

Character.AI files for bankruptcy, agrees to sell some assets for $20 million

At one point “valued” at 2.5B, so that sale is 99%+ discount, even charitably assuming 100M sale of it all it’s still 96% discount
