At least the right wing talking heads are getting paid, these guys are just mad he did things instead of tweeting about things.

slopjockey@awful.systemsto SneerClub@awful.systemsā¢Does AI startup Extropic actually ā¦ do anything?English7Ā·4 months agoNot just physics, but the physics of the world. Which makes it sound as if AI and physics are fundamentally separate somehow.
Is BasedBeef aware that AI is already fundamentally merged with physics on the basis that it already physically exists? Just because your six finger, no light in her neon eyes gen AI waifu is 2D doesnāt mean that the bits that comprise her are exempt from the physics of the universe. Really, what could that quote possibly even mean?

Kronvold, 38, was given an FKU test in 2014 before the birth of her second child, a boy, and again recently while pregnant with her third child. Speaking through an intermediary, she told the Guardian that on this last occasion she was told it was to see if she was ācivilised enoughā.

slopjockey@awful.systemsOPto TechTakes@awful.systemsā¢The article in which Scott compares John Henry's mining capacity to the Machine'sEnglish10Ā·5 months agoArtās value is determined by two measurable factors: prettiness at a glance, and ungarbled signage, artist motivations be damned. With this in mind we can predict other advancements in entertainment (all art is entertainment!)
For example, future pro boxing matches will be performed by rockāem sockāem robots in skin suits. They can score more points than humans. Soccer will be performed by restaurant server robotsā¦in skin suits. Humans will still have a place in Olympic skiing and swimming so long as human pleather warps in water.

slopjockey@awful.systemsto TechTakes@awful.systemsā¢Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 10th November 2024English20Ā·5 months agoThe worst part about Trump being president is Trump being president for a year. The second worst part is Vance being president for the next three (after Trump dies of heart failure). The third worst part is the fact that Iāve been owned in a way I canāt even explain to my closest friends.

Right crime, wrong perp. The Google overview ācorrectlyā sourced the IQ scores from one of Arthur Jensenās āstudiesā where he reports the IQ of every country in the world and fully makes up numbers for over a third of them
The blue check reaction to the totally cracked treasury zoomers showcases a complete rejection of the importance of domain knowledge. Itās 10x software engineer syndrome metastasized.
Theyāre saying that the ice cream hair kid - who has never worked on a real world system because heās STILL IN COLLEGE - is going to do us proud because he translated a greek scroll in high school? Good for him, but so what? Ben Carson split babies in half like Solomon and heās still a moron.
