Pentagon to start using Grok as part of a $200 million contract with Elon Musk's xAI

  • They went and built the torment nexus...

    They can't not use it!

    • Chinese Scientists Create Cyborg Bees That Can Be Controlled Like Drones for Undercover Military Missions

    Jump

  • That's not how that works though...

    • This time I will ask, what do you think the future will be like, that is, 2030+, how interesting will everything be?

    Jump

  • In the year 2000...

    • "Literally" literally does not mean "similar to".

    Jump

  • That's actually pretty cool.

    • Battle Over Boston Bike Lanes Intensifies and Hits Mayor’s Race

    Jump

  • All true.

    Nobody's really complaining about these bike lanes. It's obvious to anyone that they're a good idea.

    Wu is kicking ass.

    • More than $113,000 of rare Pokémon cards stolen in Massachusetts break-in

  • As a fellow Massachusetts resident, I have to say... Hah, you got owned kid!

    • Are there any wrap around sunglasses that don't make me look like a conservative dad?

    Jump

  • I don't see my flag in the same light anymore either because of these people.

    You have a flag?

    I don't know man, I feel like patriotism is a racket. Why buy into it?

    • Are there any wrap around sunglasses that don't make me look like a conservative dad?

    Jump

  • Those are the most generic sunglasses I can imagine. I'm pretty certain they don't say anything.

  • You do end up looking like Adam Jensen though.

    Well, Adam Jensen with a fancy new beak aug.

    • Bots everywhere or am I losing it?

    Jump

  • I mean, that's a legitimate option.

    Honestly, it's not Lemmy, it's the whole Internet being overrun by bots. There is no safe haven and I haven't heard a single feasible solution to the problem. But, at least in my experience, staying off the Internet works great. When I'm talking to someone face to face I practically never worry that they might be a bot.

    Also, having offline conversations tends to make me happier. So there's another benefit. I know it sounds cliche or like I'm joking, but I'm really not.

    • Microplastics will be the "boomers all have lead poisoning" of millennials

    Jump

  • Just don't grind it up into a powder and snort it and you should be fine.

    Come to think of it, I would actually suggest the same for glass and plastic.

    • Microplastics will be the "boomers all have lead poisoning" of millennials

    Jump

  • Do you mean what ubiquitous toxin will be next?

    Or do you mean how can we get by without plastic?

    If it's the second one, the answer is easy, fucking aluminum. We've had the answer forever and it still works great. Glass too, good for many applications.

    Now the actual problem isn't plastic bags or beverage containers though, it's clothing and tires. Most clothing is plastic these days and tiny plastic fibers break up into micro plastics and take to the air or end up in the sea. Car tires are also just plastic these days, not rubber (which is arguably better for the environment than leveling rainforests for rubber tree plantations, sigh...), the tires rub off on the road like a pencil eraser on sandpaper. This also ends up in the air and sea.

    So anyway, replacing plastic beverage containers is a great step, a no brainer, but it also doesn't address the real problem at all. I hope that some day soon tires and clothes can start to be made with biodegradable "eco plastics", but if that doesn't turn out to be feasible, we'll be in some serious trouble. And once we have some real, feasible, affordable replacements, then we need to actually outlaw the use of older plastic tires, in every country on the planet, despite heavy lobbying against any new measures from vested interests... I can't even imagine how to make that happen. How did we do it with lead? Has every country outlawed lead in gas?

  • Wow, I have literally never heard that version of the story.

    • My child won't stop singing the "Lava Chicken" song from the Minecraft movie. How do I go on living?

    Jump

  • Ok, I've officially employed this method, mixing it with some other suggestions in the thread.

    Cha-cha-cha-lava,

    La-la-la-chicken!

    Oooh chicken jockey

    It's a chicken jockey!

    Peaches peaches peaches peaches

    Woooon-derboy!

    I did get a satisfying "no dad, that's not how it goes", but then it resulted in him singing it a few more times... I think I'll just keep it up until it's clear to him he's being trolled, then we'll see what happens.

  • I don't wanna sound old here...

    I got bad news for you, that's basically all we're doing right now.

  • Oh shit... I don't think he's ready for that level of weird...

    Hah, now I just want to know what he'd think of it.

    • What are your favorites? How do you like them?

  • Where would we be without black olives on pizza

    We'd have pizza people actually wanted to eat!

    Don't get me wrong, if you want to keep more pizza for yourself, then olives are a great deterrent and that's a legit strategy.

    If you want to do a real case study, get only two pizzas and put olives on one, pineapple on the other, and just watch.

  • Honestly, this is probably the answer.

    "SORRY KID, I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER MY MUSIC. WHAT? IT'S CALLED RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, YEAH YOU'D LOVE IT. WHAT? NO, NOT TILL YOU'RE OLDER"

    • My child won't stop singing the "Lava Chicken" song from the Minecraft movie. How do I go on living?

    Jump

  • Haha, that's a pretty good plan for whenever he does something annoying. Just "well actually" at him until he stops.
