I think we'd be better off if everyone viewed AI like you'd view a four year old. If a four year old tells you a fact about space, it is probably true; kids love learning about space. If they insist they discovered a NEW fact about space, well maybe we don't take that at face value. Also never ask health advice; we've seen what four year olds lick.

I feel like it's been a minute since we reminded folks that cis people don't spend much time wishing they were a different gender. Sorry babe.

It's so hard to lose weight maybe I should just lean in to loving my body how it is

Pirate: look at me, I'm the captain now. Me: oh thank god, ok look sir it doesn't look too good: we've been boarded by pirates.

Every time you think "well they did a lot of great things but..." there's someone out there who did all the great without the but.

Jesus I’ve got the wheel can you do the pedals

I’ll pay for the jazz show but I’ll be damned if I’m paying for all those notes they don’t play

Everyone in the Trump admin: despite not having any qualifications, I’m an expert and in charge. Me: Can I call myself a Nuclear Physicist even though my PhD is in Nuclear Engineering, given that one of my two focus areas was Nuclear Physics? But also, I suppose, to be specific I mostly do cyclotron and beam physics. Yeah probably not I’ll just say I’m a goober or something

Why do kids want to be influencers? Probably because influencers can buy houses

I may cheekily refer to Jedi as "space wizards" but I want it to be known that I know they're actually space paladins

If the "singularity" is the point when AI Tech Bro naval-gazing becomes impossible to escape then yeah I guess we're in the singularity

click on all the traffic lights?! do you include the like, wires? the posts? what IS a traffic light?! Is it just the part with the lights? I imagine if I pointed to the pole suspending a traffic light and asked an average person what it is they'd say a traffic light not a pole or something

Me when my kids won’t listen: sudo !!

Please don’t tell Millenials to throw away our tech boxes it’s the only wealth we have

One weird work habit I've developed is always scheduling emails to send in 5 min to an hour in the future (depending on urgency). About 50% of the time I edit them at least once before they send.

I’m in the Mall of America directly between the Margaritaville and the Rainforest Cafe like I finally reached the physical center of capitalism

It’s both wild and inevitable how a vast majority of careers and jobs necessary for our society to function now provide downward class mobility I hate that we millennials also get to see the days that the irreconcileable nature of democracy and capitalism finally comes to a head

Sometimes I’m going to respond to someone’s braindead take and then I remember that I can block them lmao

You can almost hear how giddy he is for the future case where he gets to ban trans women broadly via Title IX

Are there any good newsletters, mailing lists, forums, or (ugh) subreddits for sharing and learning about personal data security and reducing surveillance?

Those on the US right are obsessed with what their "Founders" would have done. We have founders too.

I need to blow the whistle, @oldladyplays@wargamers.social, accelerators have been discovering new genders for years and the scientific community is covering it up

@castanea_jo@ni.hil.ist no they using say “you’re not in the sudoers file. This incident has been reported.”

Reddit is a cesspool but sometimes it teaches me things like "a ghost as a person under a sheet started in ancient Egypt" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medjed

@oldladyplays@wargamers.social if you look into the nucleus we don't even know how many gluons there are, or how many potential genders are down there

@slothrop@chaos.social I think there's a world where LLMs are trained on data that was given voluntarily, where a lot of AI money flows to the creators and writers of that data, and the data centers are built only when they would not contribute to a climate crises. We certainly don't live in that world though.

Do you think the other chess pieces are amazed that the knight can move through a magical third dimension

Are boats required to have names

If I hooked up an SNES/NES/Genesis emulator to the living room TV; what games would you recommend for me to play with an 8 year old (and also for her to play on her own)

RE: https://beige.party/@rooster/116847369545014161 I'm still crashing out about this. The only thing I can think of is that they are arguing that the writers of the 14th amendment didn't even think about foreigners, right?

@Unixbigot@aus.social “are federation starships required to have names”

oy

It’s like saying I don’t know what fission is because I give a complex answer instead of “atoms go boomy”
