Hallmark boss: “So a anti-Trump women comes back home for Christmas, and meets a Pro-Trump man. Something something, they fall in love and the woman falls in love and forgets her hatred. I - I mean we - just need to fill in that middle step. Please, figure out what that middle step is! My wife left me and I don’t know how to cook!”

Rimmer: “That’s what they say, Lister, but if you had two people coming for a job and one of them was dead, which one would you pick?”
Lister “It depends which is better qualified.”
Rimmer “Bullpats. When was the last time you saw a dead newsreader?”
Lister “Channel 27 had a hologram reading the news.”
Rimmer “Oh. Groovy, funky Channel 27. Big smegging deal. You livies hate us deadies.”

I hate it when I go to full screen and one of my (100s of) tabs has a youtube short that thinks “Oh, time to start playing again!”
Now I’ll have paused tabs start making noise and I won’t be able to find it until the ad is over.
- Comment on Ideas for storing electrons or light in a container 2 months ago:
I like to tell my physics students this story. A man made a perpetual motion device, and dared the community to disprove him. After several had tried and failed, a physics professor looked at the layout of the device. In the center was a permanent magnet. He took reading of the magnetic field strength of the magnet, ran the machine for a day, and then measured the field strength a second time. The permanent magnet was being demagnetized by it’s operation. What the man had done was turned the magnet into a limited fuel source.
This was fine and didn’t violate any conservation laws: the energy for the device was originally from the magnetization process that created the magnet. It actually was quite cleaver. One could just chuck a new magnet in every once and a while and the machine would keep running. The fuel source was also quite small. But, all things must be practical and efficient if they are to be industrally implemented. The process of creating permanent magnets is quite wasteful. The amount of gas needed to generate an electromagnet strong enough to create the permanent magnet was actually more than the gas needed to produce the movement from the perpetual motion device.
Though disproven, the professor said that this was on the right track. “Instead of magnetic storage, while not use electric storage devices like super-capacitors? They are much more efficient, both because they have much less loss in creating them, and because the efficiency of electric generators increases with size - and we have a very efficient electric distribution system that connects us to giant generators already installed in every home.” Soon after, electric cars became a thing.

In America “Left / Left leaning” is to the right of “Democratic Socialists/ Social democrats” which is to the right of “Socialists/Communists”. In countries where those are options, it can be confusing calling something that is on the right side of the above spectrum “left”. The bot should have either a numerical score (Nazi =1, Right = 3, Left = 5, Dem Socialist = 7, Communist = 9) or it should have a “Socialist leaning” category so that people get that they aren’t saying Al Jazzera is supportive of Marx

- Comment on Posit: In the future, generative A.I. will be thought of as the unconscious part of a general A.I.'s mind. 3 months ago:
Even if it doesn’t work the same way, humans anthropomorphing pattern detection will grapple on to it as “same function, so same thing”. As we slowly build general AI, other “things that don’t work that way” will be attached on to it until we have a full general AI whose brain works nothing like humans but has pieces that work in similar fashions.
Sort of like how 60 Watt LED light bulbs don’t use 60 Watts. “They produce the same about of light, so they must use the same amount of energy!”

No, that is just a pre-recorded message. I once went through a mcdonald’s drive thru that had just closed. They asked me for my order and after I gave it, I realized no one was in the restaurant. I pulled around and they asked me again every time I stopped at the order point, but there was no cars in the lot.
