I had to look it up because I didn’t believe y’all.
$755 for 64GB DDR5.
I thought I had DDR5 but I guess it’s just DDR4 according to my motherboard.
Mother fucker. I could have gotten it for $200 a year ago. I’m at the point where I suggest we start taking ahem excessive action against AI companies.
- Comment on Expecting a LLM to become conscious, is like expecting a painting to become alive 6 days ago:
Not fully, but we know it requires a minimum amount of activity in the brains of vertabrates, and at least observable in some large invertebrates.
I’m vastly oversimplifying and I’m not an expert, but essentially all consciousness is, is an automatic processing state of all present stimulation in a creatures environment that allows it to react to new information in a probably survivable way, and allow it to react to it in the future with minor changes in the environment. Hence why you can scare an animal away from food while a threat is present, but you can’t scare away an insect.
It appears that the frequency of activity is related to the amount of information processed and held in memory. At a certain threshold of activity, most unfiltered stimulus is retained to form what we would call consciousness - in the form of maintaining sensory awareness and at least in humans, thought awareness. Below that threshold both short term and long term memory are impaired, and no response to stimulation occurs. Basic autonomic function is maintained, but severely impacted.

Agents have debated that the new phenomenon may or may not constitute a new designation. While some have reported the painting following them, the same agents will then later report nothing seems to occur. The agents who report a higher frequency of the painting following them also report a higher frequency of unexplained injury. The injuries can be attributed to cases of self harm, leading scientists to believe these SCP agents were predisposed to mental illness that was not caught during new agent screening.

Idk. Sometimes I wonder if psychosis is preferable to reality.

- Comment on its a psyop, isn't it? 2 weeks ago:
I want to add that some people are completely unaware that they are being creepy. Others are entirely aware, and I don’t understand how they dont realize they’re gonna get got one day.
You are a creep if:
-
You like to get closer than you realistically should. Ask to close the distance if you were originally sitting apart, then let the other person get comfortable. If they adjust their distance, don’t get any fucking closer than that.
-
There are a lot of things you might want to say sober, but don’t. Probably a good idea to pay attention to these things if you have liquor in your system and notice when you no longer have control over that. If you don’t notice, maybe it’s better not to drink and rethink your life.
-
Don’t fucking grab, sniff, tickle, or seductively eye the other person. Just don’t. Grow up.
-
Don’t go diving through their social media like you need to learn all about them before you meet. Chances are they know exactly what is public, and they intend that public information to be a different person than they really are.
-
If you don’t know something about them, ask. If they don’t give you an answer, stop fucking asking. God. They don’t want to tell you.
-
If it involves sex, and you’re in public, don’t talk about it. That’s creepy.
-
If you ever receive a inconclusive answer, that’s a hint to back the fuck off that discussion.
There’s too much to list, but those are like a bunch I’ve seen.

This is a big breakthrough. If they can do it at 10m then the scale is unlimited.
It essentially should circumvent MITM attacks.
- Comment on its a psyop, isn't it? 2 weeks ago:
I used to think it was because I’m too ugly to be attractive to the women I find attractive.
Then I discovered I don’t really even try with women I find physically attractive because it’s relatively small on my attraction plate. If I find a woman who has intellect and the ability to talk on that trait, and a desire to learn with a bit of that physical goodness, hot damn with I put the effort in.
Worst case scenario I get rejected. Back to square one. Next one isn’t even that bad: I end up with a good friend, which is one more link to hopefully find someone who foots the bill.
That being said having a lengthy dry spell probably isn’t healthy, but I’ve managed it so far.
- Comment on Roblox to block children from talking to adult strangers after string of lawsuits 2 weeks ago:
I would happily have more babies as children are fun.
Unfortunately that requires a partner who values intelligence, child development, learning and desires children. When I find such a unicorn I’ll make as many babies as I can reasonably raise (probably like 2 or three more maximum)
- Comment on Roblox to block children from talking to adult strangers after string of lawsuits 2 weeks ago:
See, what I figured out is that I don’t have to let my son play Roblox. Sure, he might be the “weird” one who’s dad doesn’t let him. But he was going to be “weird” anyway. That’s just how our lives work.
Plus you have AuADHD, having it myself, it makes you vulnerable to predators in ways you can’t understand yet.
- Comment on Guaranteed to save you money 2 weeks ago:
Possibly hot take.
Might actually be the time to do it. If the Heritage Foundation gets their way, violence is coming. You need to know who you can trust. Many former moderate/conservatives are waking up. They just need some encouragement.
- Comment on Is it gay to have pleasurable sex with your wife? 2 weeks ago:
See there’s a problem here. My philosophy is that she gets off. No matter how hard I work at it. However I can’t just go up and tell women this.
I thought I couldn’t date hot women because of my appearance. So they’d never find out my philosophy.
It actually turns out I can’t date hot women, especially hot women like this, because hot and intelligent are uncorrelated (not positively or negatively, just no correlation). This woman, in particular (assuming that’s his wife) is physically attractive, but given her choice of partner, is clearly unable to think. Why the fuck would I be sexually attracted to someone who can’t think.
Which explains why I don’t even bother following up. The slightest hint of stupid makes them unattractive. So it’s not my appearance, is it. It’s something else that’s wrong with me.
