Wholesome indie Darling about human connection actually slopgobbled https://aftermath.site/big-walk-ai-igf-jurors-controversy/

discloses now rather than at launch because they’re just so wholesome and committed to ethics.

Any other no slop instances? especially that don’t federate with the proslop ones?

The only useful tool there is the one writing that blog post.

Did your fingers start smoking while writing that?

Organise your entire society around a set of rules that allows power, luxury, and freedom to anyone who can amass the most money.

People prioritise amassing the most money, to the detriment of anything else.

I don’t actually care about the spying (in fact I hope china owns the usa and installs a puppet regime so usaians get to experience it for once (not actually, but I would strongly enjoy a collapse of the empire)) but my god the jokes are hilarious.

You reckon you keeps the leather jacket on to hide hickies?

Engineers are a formally certified thing, you don’t get to call yourself an engineer because you make digital machines.

One of the certification requirements is ethical standards and education.

It’s inefficient allocation of resources for every town to have their own library. The space sits unused a lot of the time and every library needs to allocate space to walls/doors/cpunters etc. Plus duplicate books.

Instead everyone should have one megalibrary per country.

This is good, I am smart, invest in bookly: 5he startup for buying all the books in the world

Why are they all into ketamine? I take it for depression and it has to be the least interesting drug. Ok not quite but all anaesthetics/downers more broadly are arse.

There are some extremely fun and hard to source drugs like 2CB they could be taking.

curious to see zitron’s take

The British something or rather is like “stockpile water cause the internet might go down and kill the plants due to the hackpocalypse”

Bulwer-Lytton contest ended 2 years too early.

Giving those “siri, fuck my wife” ads a new meaning.

Is this guy a vegan even? If not how can he even BEGIN to claim to know about considering the rights of other sentient beings??

I want to personally eat everyone more concerned about robot rights or “ai” rights than carnism.

Wait, actually that’s a bad idea 'cause I’d get their brainworms

If you’re interested in locksmithing I’ve got bad news. It got harder after WFH, waaaay more people home in rich neighbourhoods

Piles of screaming grey goo and people being like “Why are you running away? can’t you see it’s my grandmother?”

One of the funniest things I ever read was a result of a survey of laypeople, physics UGs, physics Grads, postgrads, and faculty on various “cool future” things.

predictions of the likelihood of things geeks constantly dream about craters once you get past the very basics. I can only assume that fields that aren’t mine, and are in general vastly more complex, are at least as full of evidence of god hating us and not allowing us nice things.

I remember reading some of yuddies writing about nanomagic and noticing that the word “sticktion” never showed up.

I don’t have to be thrilled about death to have a basic understanding of how basic our understanding of consciousness, biology, and neurology are. Nor to know how much the physical world resists making tiny machines and measurements necessary to explore these frontiers, or the ethical dilemmas involved in exploring how consciousness works that vastly slow and perhaps outright prevent answering questions like “can we replace little bits of someone with some machine we can maintain easier in the interest of prolonging them?”

Also I do happen to know how the universe ends.

Well, we are all going to die. So… musing over?

We all get that right, everyone is going to die. Everything living you lay eyes on is going to die. I am 100% certain that the future contains the death of everyone alive today.

Do they mean immanently? Why?
