Phosphenes

@daj@gofer.social @alexandra@social.lol Mullvad still thinks this is just about ethics. No no no no. This is about basic security. Mullvad shouldn't be apologizing, they should be threat modeling their own CEO as a criminal insider.

@AnarchoCatgirlism @ozzelot @kittyboy77 From Jen Sorensen:

@JessFairbairn@aoir.social @carnage4life@mas.to When Musk bought Twitter it was like a heroin addict buying a heroin factory.

@AnarchoCatgirlism Is this code written by Claude or for Claude? Or both, is Claude writing its own code? 😬

@adamgreenfield I must buy this now that you have influenced me.

@AkaSci@fosstodon.org "Division is the oldest trick in politics, and the cheapest." This is the most concise description of Trump's political rise I have seen to date.

@rebeccawatson You said you got suspended from Mastodon for wrong speak. Did you try migrating to any other instances? I'm wondering how that plays out in practice as opposed to YouTube/TikTok bans which have no workaround.

@mrtnsnp@mastodon.social @munchkinbear@mastodon.stickbear.me I knew a guy who named his WiFi hotspot after Game of Thrones spoilers, back in the heyday of GoT. EG 'RobStarkDiesInWedding'.

@carrideen@c18.masto.host @carnage4life@mas.to Literally just 200 miles from Africa by boat.

@eclectech The opposite of learned helplessness is learned infallibility.

@camertron We're all John Henry now.

@matildalove@wetdry.world @ScottEdelman@wandering.shop Yeah that doesn't stop amazing me. It said poison on the box, poison on the can, we all saw people poisoned, and yet you drank it.

@vicgrinberg First time I've heard of this phone! Will investigate.👍

@henryseg Oh shit now Pinhead's going to appear.

@ana Going forward, all humanoid robots should look like Arnold Schwarzenegger, so we know where we stand. Not saying it isn't also a sex bot, but still.

@Craigp@mastodon.social I'm sure you're right in general, but I personally worked for a Federal contractor who used Gimp extensively for graphics in their requirements docs. The problem is that it's fun to shitpost your goofy app name when it's just you and 3 fans, until you've somehow scaled to 1M+ users and have to announce 'ButtBlaster' at a shareholder meeting.

@HamonWry @petergleick Well now all Iran has to do is sneeze on their enemy.

@mcfadden Don't get me started on Operation Epic Furry.

@itgrrl@infosec.exchange This guy has a machine tool collecting disorder, not sure how close to Melbourne he is. https://www.youtube.com/@NoEngineerHere/videos Business enquiries: NotAnEngineer@lighthouseagents.com

@carnage4life@mas.to This will fall apart just in time for a Democratic president to get blamed for it.

@JauntyArt@crispsandwi.ch 😄 Going to share this with my family.

@skiles@carhenge.club It's safe to say that no matter what ideology these people believe, greed will be the dominant force. They can't even help themselves, it's an all you can eat free buffet now. They'll even kill each other for it.

@oglaf@socel.net I got a Sithrak pin for Christmas! Love it.

@molly0xfff God I hope this shit implodes ASAP. We're going to lose a lot either way.

@aphyr@woof.group So is GitLab going to delete everyone's code now?

@Chrishallbeck@mastodon.social Queen but also trend setter the alien paparazzi won't leave her alone.

@Chrisgodwin@mastodon.social @gamingonlinux@mastodon.social I hear game card prices are highly inflated because of AI data centers. Could this be part of the expense?

@carnage4life@mas.to Also Geoffrey Hinton, the main inventor of this whole technology, isn't even American.

@kaito02@mastodon.social @firstdogonthemoon@aus.social As I understand it, our current, high-pressure reactor design was chosen to increase bomb making for the cold war. Alternatively, molten salt reactors fail more gracefully and don't produce as much dangerous waste. China and Scandinavia are building some now.

@bruces Sounds like Dune Coriolis winds that strip the meat off your bones.

@ZachWeinersmith It kind of sounds like 'write your will and kiss your ass goodbye'. But first 'gimme money'.

@robtherunt @firstdogonthemoon Ah but no greenhouse effect with no sunlight! 🤓 Also no more oxygen.

@samir@mastodon.functional.computer A good fraction of those jobs were mine.

@marten@mstdn.social @carnage4life@mas.to Yeah I'm subscribed to her on YouTube. She's great.

@larsmb@mastodon.online AI or real Twitter user? I can hardly tell the difference.

@BrianEnigma@xoxo.zone @molly0xfff@hachyderm.io Yes kudos! BTW does anyone know of a fired FBI agent who is an expert on criminal finance? If such exists, can we talk them into doing a podcast episode? 🙂

@paul_ipv6 @mattblaze 😄

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social A fetus has rights unless it's attached to a worker.

@rbreich@masto.ai Is he really going to pay it? Billionaires bend Heaven and Earth not to pay their taxes, so color me skeptical that he actually believes what he is saying.

@Shine_McShine@neopaquita.es 😬

@sakhavi@aoir.social @mhoye@cosocial.ca It's the rent part that makes the least business sense to me. Even if vibe coding were everything it is sold as, 100% reliable, flawless replacement for humans, you're addicting yourself to the whim of 5 billionaires who will absolutely jack up rent and crush dissent at the earliest opportunity.

@emory@soc.kvet.ch @Nonilex@masto.ai Interesting! Do go on. I heard an Accuweather exec was put into NOAA during Trump 1, and this was a big conflict of interest. What else are they up to?

@carnage4life@mas.to Yeah it's been going on a while like that. Mitch McConnell basically weaponized it even. It's going to stop, in the same way that a heart attack eventually stops.

@bruces We have automated crackpot physics.

@mhoye@cosocial.ca My sentiments exactly. I would never be cruel to a thing that resembles life even if it is not alive inside, because doing so would make cruelty more easy.

@bruces What is the context for this? Are these military or cyber attacks? The map doesn't open for me.

@carnage4life@mas.to You can sell your time but you can't buy it back.

@timnitGebru Ben Goertzel is the guy TV show Silicon Valley lampooned as being a sex creep to his robot.

@AmandaMarcotte So which will this week become famous for, the Moon shot or the Iran massacre?
