Ah, yes. The three genders: Scrub Daddy, Scrub Mommy, and Scotch-Brite™.

Oof.

She is an absolute disaster and I love her.

I don’t think the people complaining about Firefox’s AI integration are using or paying attention to Chrome.

Take away “really good research skills,” and this feels pretty relatable.

Eliminating vehicle deaths by making travel impossible

And here we see decades of automobile industry propaganda in action. There is only the car, or no mobility whatsoever. You remember how everybody was just trapped inside their houses for centuries until the Ford factories started cranking out Model Ts?

Cars will never be a sustainable solution to mass transit. The immense amount of waste in materials, energy, and land use will not be offset with AVs. I don’t think AVs are a bad idea in and of themselves. But, as the article points out, they’re not going to solve any major problems.

I had never really considered how induced demand would apply to AVs…

Also, we removed all of the hardware safeties that would prevent this from happening and entrusted it all to software.

Wow. You must have very stringent software engineering practices, with multiple levels of checks and test proce—

What? No, we just had one guy write all of the system’s code. It’s probably fine, right?

I just saw the title and the image wasn’t loading. I thought this was about Power over Ethernet.

It happens to all of us, eventually.

I think that’s the joke.

I recognize these vtubers, but don’t know what is even going on in this interaction.

Du

But did they have themselves a popsicle?

I wouldn’t say 0% chance, but I agree that it is unhealthy to jump straight to conspiratorial thinking. Especially given just how little we know at this point.

I can’t be the only one who didn’t give much weight to the “registered Republican” thing, right? I’ve considered registering as Republican just to do damage control in their primaries, and I know people who’ve done just that.

That being said, if this guy really does turn out to be a Republican I fully expect conservatives to try and gaslight everyone into thinking he was actually Antifa or something.

Isn’t this Portuguese? Doesn’t look like Spanish…

The only danger to humans is humans.

I’m sorry, but this is a really dumb take that borders on climate change denial logic. A sufficiently large comet is an existential threat to humanity. You seem to have this optimistic view that humanity is invincible against any threat but itself, and I do not think that belief is justified.

People are right to be very skeptical about OpenAI and “techbros.” But I fear this skepticism has turned into outright denial of the genuine risks posed by AGI.

I find myself exhausted by this binary partitioning of discourse surrounding AI. Apparently you have to either be a cult member who worships the coming god of the singularity, or think that AI is either impossible or incapable of posing a serious threat.

That’s Marcille Donato from Delicious in Dungeon.

(Watch it. It’s really good.)

Ah, a Gentoo user.

Where we’re going, Marty, we don’t need wires!
