Most of these (nightshade etc) are just a secondary form of AI grift that also doesn’t work.

At best they last till they get effective enough for work arounds to be worth looking for, and then they’re gone. The only remedies that stand a chance of lasting are legal.

Petition for the UK to ship reform off to the colonies.

It’ll make both countries smarter.

Most of the country wants it but the politicians don’t want to give the far right any excuses.

What we’re seeing is closer and closer alignment until we end up as a defacto member of the common market, but without a say over the rules.

If we end up rejoining it will probably take more than a decade and it will be under the default rules, just because the EU can’t be bothered to deal with British exceptionalism again.

I’m not being funny but it can be both.

Square root is an operator that maps a number to the positive number that when squared returns the original number, but there is also a square root symbol.

Similarly, % can be an operator that maps a number x to x/100, but there’s also a percent symbol.

It just depends if you’re talking about functions or fonts.

Long and generic text without actually making a point, and no actual facts.

I’m not saying it was written by an LLM, but it might as well have been.

The coffee has always been bad.

The coffee is burnt, the milk is thin and overcooked, and this has just been a constant part of the experience forever.

What’s really changed is there’s other places to compare with, and it’s now obvious what coffee can taste like and where to go if you want one that’s half way decent.

It takes the death penalty off the table.

“What should I have to give thee! Let me rather hurry hence lest I take aught away from thee!”

I always liked the Linux ones over Windows. No random bullshit depending on who made the drivers, just a solid set of options.

Could do with being prettier through.

Their family probably came to Taiwan after the Japanese invasion.

Japan was notoriously brutal to the indigenous population, but most of the people in Taiwan came there in the civil war.

In fact, stamping out the indigenous culture has been an ongoing part of the post civil war Taiwanese government, and it’s only recently that the Taiwanese language has been allowed to be taught in schools.

Congrats, the game is now non-finite (you can just keep drawing forever).

What are the odds on Clarence Thomas being found doing some truly heinous things in the Epstein files, refusing to step down, and publishing an opinion that the founders really wanted Trump to become God-KKKing of the US?

Turns out Wolverine’s healing factor is just free healthcare.

The main differentiator of fish over everything else is it prioritizes intuitive behavior over backwards compatibility.

Zsh is to bash as c++ is to c. Most bash scripts and habits will work in zsh, but zsh is just more convenient and has more options. Fish is intentionally different.

Do I wish fish had existed instead of bash so we had a nicer terminal experience? On the whole, yes. But I also couldn’t be bothered to learn another shell where most of the instructions online won’t be able to help you, and I ended up sticking with zsh.

Nah, you can actually see some of them developing AI psychosis.

You’ve got to understand that most AI execs aren’t technical people, they’re hype men. And LLMs are weirdly good at hype and the illusion of technical correctness. So they don’t have a problem with it.

Sam Altman saying he uses chatgpt to tell him how to act with his baby is one of the things he’s said I actually believe. Of course he’s also a got a team of nannies he couldn’t be bothered to mention, but the trust for chatgpt is there.

It’s also the font on the pop-ups, and the AI logo.

There’s a very generic style of Facebook cartoon that these things absolutely nail.

Yeah, but this is a legitimate concern in the US.

In most of the world, safety checks for cars include making sure that they are safe enough for people outside the car. There are rules about crumple zones and sharp edges, that effect how they hit pedestrians, and what they can do to other cars.

You can’t drive a cyber truck in Europe or the UK. In the US, it’s a free for all.

If you want smaller cars/trucks back on the road, you need to copy the safety laws from countries where people drive small cars.

If they’re going to name a memorial center after him, shouldn’t he be dead?

I’d love to give ACT ago. Already got Blasphemous which is great.

No, you just use a standard technique like word2vec.

Basically words are considered similar (and embedded to nearby locations in a high dimensional space) if they are likely to be used in the same context.

And because slurs are used to indicate that you don’t like someone, they tend to occur in the same kind of context.

So they’re all very similar. This is actual natural language processing being used, but it’s a shit post and the graphics aren’t very clear.
