I found that distressing. I’m gonna assume OP manhandled that dude’s nuts after filming for my own sanity.
- Comment on Plump prophet proved perfectly precise 1 day ago:
I can vibe with that.
I guess my question is more about the ‘challenge’ objects. Like I get wanting to put things places, but it’s the stuff that lands you in YouTube compilations due to ‘misadventure’ that clearly looked risky that gets me.
Putting the OP bottles in places, or getting your nuts trapped in the slats of a park bench, things like that.

But the aliens are plant-based…
- Comment on Plump prophet proved perfectly precise 1 day ago:
Why can’t some people resist putting things in every orifice? There’s gotta be some innate drive to do this. Does anyone here relate? What’s the attraction? I want to understand. Seeing weird-shaped things is clearly appealing somehow.

Flared bases, people!

Yeah, drugs and looking into lasers will definitely change your brain, no doubt. Dunno if I want advice from someone who does that, tho…

Seems so.

This is why aliens avoid us. Whenever we discover something, we either try to eat, enslave, or fuck it. Sometimes all 3.

He looks like a Pokémon. What does he evolve into?
- Comment on tall tails 3 days ago:
That’s fair. Honestly, all of taxonomy is just lines we draw, and all of evolution is really a fuzzy gradient. We can’t even figure out where the line for ‘human’ begins, because that’s also a meaningless term, really.
So the fact that we’re fish is as meaningful (or meaningless) as the fact that we’re human.
- Comment on tall tails 4 days ago:
Sure, but isn’t the point that what we’d call ‘fish’ back when everything lived in the oceans, like pre-Devonian, the ancestors of all modern life?
We can’t out-evolve our clade, so all land animals are fish? And also we’re all amphibians, and everything directly leading to us? Insects, plants, and fungi are separate, but we’re technically fish?
Or am i misunderstanding that?
- Comment on tall tails 4 days ago:
Also people are fish. You can’t evolve out of your clade.
- Comment on tall tails 4 days ago:
It’s sneaking up on creationist levels of science, like where they argue recreations of Australopithecus are just ‘imagination’ and present their own version of Lucy as as a quadriped, completely ignoring the overwhelming evidence from her skeleton that she could not have walked that way (and also ignoring that we have hundreds of other specimens of her species).
It really seems that lots of people’s conception of these fields is based on very outdated concepts, either unaware or ignoring all the evidence and advancements of the past 50 years or so.

Also, as you move throughout your life, those attachments can cause stress in places that build up, and your bones will show all of that. For instance, even though all humans have the same soft tissue connection points, we can tell by a skeleton whether a person had a life of hard labour vs relative luxury, whether they were an archer with stronger and more stressed arm muscles, etc.
If tail vertebrae, for instance, have spent their life supporting and moving a heavy amount of soft tissue, those connection points will look much different than a similar tail of skin and bone with far less weight to bear.
So now, we have a pretty good idea not only where soft tissues attached, but their relative size, strength, and use.

For their sake, I hope you’re right.

Depends. I expect his wife is just as alt-right-addled as he was, which might mean she’ll raise them to be little Nazis. I guess they might break out of that, and I hope so, but being raised alt-right with a prominent martyr to the cause as your father could seriously fuck you up. Don’t forget they’re very rich, so they’re insulated from the real world.
- Comment on 5 days ago:
I feel bad for his kids, actually.
They’ll likely be raised to think their father was a martyr, so the poor things (like 1 and 3 years) will likely grow up in the alt-right-o-sphere where their dad was a martyr to the cause.
That’s very sad. They’ll likely won’t have had a chance.

In infinite universe theory, there are nearly infinite timelines where this didn’t happen. We’re finally entering the good timeline.

Not really, though.
The parents know the knife can be used to stab people. It’s a dangerous implement, and people are killed with knives all the time.
LLMs aren’t sold as weapons, or even as tools that can be used as weapons. They’re sold as totally benign tools that can’t reasonably be considered as dangerous.
That’s the difference. If you’re paying especially close attention to, you may potentially understand they can be dangerously, but most people are just buying a coffee maker.
- Comment on Teen killed himself after ‘months of encouragement from ChatGPT’, lawsuit claims 2 weeks ago:
but you can’t blame a machine for doing something that it doesn’t even understand.
But you can blame the creators and operators of that machine for operating unethically.
If I build and sell a coffee maker that sometimes malfunctions and kills people, I’ll be sued into oblivion, and my coffee maker will be removed from the market. You don’t blame the coffee maker, but you absolutely hold the creator accountable.

You should read the filing.
Google might have clinically told him things, but it wouldn’t have encouraged him, telling him he should hide the marks on his neck from a previous failed attempt by wearing a black turtleneck, telling him how to tie the knot next time, and telling him to hide his feelings from his parents and others.
His parents had him in therapy. He also told the AI he wanted to leave a noose out where his parents would find it, and the AI told him not to. It actively encouraged him to hide all this from his parents. A Google search wouldn’t do that, and it sounds like his parents did care.
