  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!

  Are we talking about Albert Einstein in his prime, or Albert Einstein now?

  Don’t start no shit, won’t be no shit

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sperm whale⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uhm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  At least it’s named correctly. Should be pretty rekt after the birth

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop children using VPNs to watch porn, ministers told⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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

  Which is why there’s no sense in trying to fight it. It’s your dream, might as well go with it

  There was nothing like it at the time. Not even close. It was another world

  When shopping for clothes or shoes, you will find items in your size, and your preferred color/style. But never both at the same time.

  We’re not excluding that, it’s between the left testicle and the potato

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk Promises Grok in Tesla Vehicles By Next Week… as the New Grok 4 Blames “Anti-White Hate” on “Jews”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I expect we’ll see a spate of Jewish sounding motorists getting trapped in the car with windows disabled and exhaust fumes diverted to the inside of the car (even though it’s electric, technology finds a way)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Having the ability to lie and manipulate with no remorse will get you much further in this world than having morals and being correct⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ll also live better. It’s a sad indictment of society that people incapable of forming meaningful relationships, but able to buy some shiny crap they don’t need, are considered successful.

  Nobody is born an umpire, you become an umpire if you get bitten by one but umpire parents have electrical babies

  I’m sure you can get frozen spring rolls

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨no way right⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨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.

  HOOOOW can you have any pudding, if you don’t yeet yer meat?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PROGRESS⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PROGRESS⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

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

  Now cross is lord.

  What benefits me is not what benefits the people owning the ai models

  Yep, that right there is the problem

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree that it’s on a whole other level, and it poses challenging questions as to how we might live healthily with AI, to get it to do what we don’t benefit from doing, while we continue to do what matters to us. To make matters worse, this is happening in a time of extensive dumbing down and out of control capitalism, where a lot of the forces at play are not interested in serving the best interests of humanity. As individuals it’s up to us to find the best way to live with these pressures, and engage with this technology on our own terms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I felt sorry for them⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Those are some cute little hands

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remember, kids! Unregulated capitalism is not your friend!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh great, thanks for that suggestion. 6 months from now when airlines bring out the “no seat just a rope” economy option, we’ll know who to blame.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the author was quite honest about the weak points in his thesis, by drawing comparisons with cars, and even with writing. Cars come at great cost to the environment, to social contact, and to the health of those who rely on them. And maybe writing came at great cost to our mental capabilities though we’ve largely stopped counting the cost by now. But both of these things have enabled human beings to do more, individually and collectively. What we lost was outweighed by what we gained. If AI enables us to achieve more, is it fair to say it’s making us stupid? Or are we just shifting our mental capabilities, neglecting some faculties while building others, to make best use of the new tool? It’s early days for AI, but historically, cognitive offloading has enhanced human potential enormously.
