  Honestly I don’t think it will take long. When you look at all the grifts the American evangelists pull, and people fall for it every time, then you’ve got all these people thinking that Trump is anointed by God or some such crap. No problem at all in selling these idiots the idea that they have an instant always-on hotline to God via God’s chosen LLM. Then you’ve got them locked in to whatever psychosis you choose to construct for them.

  To be fair it’s not just Microsoft doing that. I was looking at gym equipment the other day and some idiots were trying to build AI into a fucking home gym. Like I really need AI in my weights. AI is the product that everyone wants to sell and nobody wants to buy*

  Before I used Google Maps regularly, I would be more aware of road layout while driving and soon become capable of navigating any town I visited regularly, without a map. It’s weird to drive through a place I last visited twenty years ago, knowing that last time I was there I’d navigate based on memory, but now I’m completely leaning on that device to do it for me. That mental faculty might not be completely lost, but I don’t use it and I don’t suppose I would ever have developed it if I were learning to drive today.

  Perhaps it’s an obsolete mental faculty, and a modern brain can free up those resources for something more relevant. Over the course of human history we have developed tools to use our finite mental resources more effectively, but never without a price. Socrates feared that the use of writing would weaken our memory and true understanding. I’m sure he was right, at least about the first part, but it was worth the price. Without writing, nobody today would know what Socrates thought about anything.

  But with AI, we’re not enabling ourselves to do more and develop new faculties, because AI seeks to be our universal crutch. Perhaps under other circumstances it could be better, but the entities pushing AI want us to be compliant consumers hypnotised by a endless stream of advertising slop. Fundamentally, they don’t want to help us develop our potential. They want to replace us.

  I was expecting one of the boys to get complete mastery of the word “the”, then get the power of flight so he could leave the island. So disappointed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IT'S A TRAP⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s still not doing it justice. If there were one person for every rational number there would be infinitely many in any finite interval (but still actually no more than the top track, go figure) but the real numbers are a whole other kind of infinite!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sperm whale⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What a glorious event that would be. A 3D printed life size sperm whale. My only concern would be that this would be the moment we’ve peaked artistically, and as a species generally, and it would be all downhill from here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uhm⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe it knows but doesn’t care. The general idea of meatbag anatomy is that they are full of soft squishy tubes and they die easy. Who cares about the details?

  But Dame Wontsomeonethinkof de Children saw a government report which says 65% of children under 5 have seen explicit videos of kittens being raped to death using power tools! Surely this constitutes an emergency which requires us to abandon online anonimity

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨no way right⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  An attack on the military would make a lot of sense. Trump needs to manufacture consent within the military before he can reliably use them to eliminate protests. So this ticks all the boxes. Can’t be small scale though. You need a significant death toll, you need people to be horrified. Even something spectacular wouldn’t significantly reduce the US’s military capacity, and you can bet it’s a sacrifice Trump is willing to make. Especially after the disappointing birthday parade.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PROGRESS⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm. I think it wouldn’t work because the ham would need to be twisted around the bread beforehand. At least that’s what my initial experiments with toilet paper indicate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PROGRESS⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To do it right you really need a piece of ham cut in a Möbius strip too. I think that might be the hard part

  Come and talk to me when you’ve made a Möbius sandwich with a single piece of bread.
