i much prefered writing notes on paper but i’d cry if i had to write an essay by hand, i hope those students aren’t torturing themselves this way
- Comment on AI model forecasts disease risk decades in advance: New AI model can estimate the long-term risk of over 1,000 diseases and forecast human health changes over a decade in advance 7 hours ago:
“can” and not “could”? you haven’t had a chance to test it yet but already claim to have invented a machine that can predict the future a decade in advance? it better be the journalists that picked that word because if the scientists are saying that, then their funding would do better somewhere else

and honestly, even if it is a simulation, so what? do you have a way to get out? can you even exist outside of it? do you hurt or love any less knowing that? what are you supposed to do about it? give up? lay your simulation body on the simulation dirt and simulation die?

i was flabbergasted when i first heard americans have security & armed guards at schools. the closest to that any of the schools i went to had was cameras watching the doors and overweight PE teachers

mine is a fandom name too, misspelled, of course
- Comment on Mandatory self-reflection hours 1 week ago:
“stan” to mean “obsessive fan” hasn’t entered the vernacular usage of the internet too long ago. the meaning of words change, langauges are fluid, the living almost entity of a language does not care you dislike how the word is used, if it catches on it’ll keep happening until you accept it or grow numb
- Comment on Reddit lost it 1 week ago:
oh we’re like half a step away from that. hasn’t the CEO of openAI recently started to lose his mind? apprently, he was asking his AI about government secrets or other conspiracy shit and the AI, lacking actual government secrets, dished him out SCP foundation creepypasta presented as facts, and he thought the AI has trascended something and now knows everything

langauge can mean whatever we want, stan wasn’t even a word 10 years ago

- Comment on People prefer chatbots when buying embarrassing stuff 1 week ago:
both this and learning how to smith sounds like a lot of work. i gambled my money and thankfully it paid off as i got what i wanted for a fraction of the price it’d cost me to buy from a safe website, lol

as i said, steel belt, not leather
- Comment on People prefer chatbots when buying embarrassing stuff 1 week ago:
a specific style of a fem biology steel chastity belt comes to mind first
it’s hard to find fem biology chastity belts in the first place, and if you want one that isn’t clunky? either pay an actual fortune for one from a western online store (probably a german one) or gamble your money and try to get one from a chinese retailer with 0 reviews and little media presence but significantly cheaper. another actually valid alternative is using that money to sign up for a blacksmithing course and just forge one yourself because fuck €400 is the cheapest price for 8 pieces of metal and some wires??? (a shady chinese retailer will [probably] get you one for €100, or they might take the money and disappear forever)

coffeine makes me sleepy so energy drinks only give me placebo and it doesn’t matter that coffeine barely affects me, could not care less about the caffeine, but
one can usually has an entire day’s maxiumum amount of sugar for an adult in it, that is an insane amout to drinking in an hour or so. and that’s not to even mention that whatever they put in them seems to enjoy making kidney stones!
those things should not be a regular part of anyone’s diet
- Comment on An alien invasion 2 weeks ago:
this will sadly still create power vacuums that the first moron who thirsts for power would leap at :(
just killing isn’t the solution, we need an already oiled up machine ready to take that space the instant they’re gone, you’d have maybe a week to figure all things out before people start grumbling about how things were better duing [regime] because at least they knew how to handle power
- Comment on Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward 2 weeks ago:
i’ve seen my friends who never changed a setting in their life struggle with not being able to access their files when their internet died. how default settings work i do not know exactly myself, i don’t use cloud saving
- Comment on Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward 2 weeks ago:
an obscure clause in TOS won’t be a small print of an evil villain speech exposing their plot in clear wording. what it would be is something worded vaguely enough to make things seem like the end user technically agreed to what was being done, it could also be an “and” where you expected “or”, or an ommision of a specific thing… my point being - it’s always going to be a technicality that in case of a lawsuit would be a valid defence in the eyes of law
it very much is how it works though? show me a lawsuit someone lost before they got caught commiting a crime. and how would you even go about proving that your unpublished documents were used to train AI? even an entire life’s work of one person is just a speck in the training data, it’s impossible to definitively prove your work was stolen and used to train an AI. besides there will always be plausible deniability that the AI just made shit up that happened to look kinda like what you once wrote

evolution is the epitome of “good enough, ship it!”
- Comment on Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward 3 weeks ago:
they’re probably already doing that to a smaller degree, and slightly protecting themselves with an obscure clause in their TOS. besides, you only lose lawsuits if you get caught - and churning things through AI is a great way to erase any fingerprints that identifies stolen data

because your phone/laptop doesn’t have a global wi-fi connection, and you might want to open a document pause for dramatic effect outside of your home or work!

oh dang i misread the prompt. hmmm, well, if i can understand Davinci’s Italian then him, if not, then Skłodowska-Curie. though we have many Davinci’s journals time is time, things get misplaced, lost, forgotten, i’d love to know if he’s written something nobody’s ever found. Skłodowska-Curie as amazing as she is has written down all of her work, no mystery there
- Comment on Let's hear it, little lemmings. 3 weeks ago:
Davinci, Einstein, and Skłodowska-Curie
i want to have a walk with Davinci and see how he sees the world
i want to vibe with Einstein and see how well we click (i think he’d be a good friend)
and i want to chillout with Skłodowka-Curie and chat in Polish about stuff
i like science, but i’m nowhere near a level where i could make a conversation about their passions they’d find interesting, so i’m happy to listen and see their mind work
