Sprites are a lightning phenomenon in the mesosphere of earth. They're red because of nitrogen. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_(lightning)

And standing up too straight

And down the Conservative memory hole this friendship goes.

Does this just clip around the upper ear, or does it require a pierced hole?

I don't want to fuck my dad.

Memes are not a new thing, medieval people had their own injokes and references that go completely over our heads. This is probably one of them.

You can. If you go to the website, you can go to your profile, settings, blocks and there should be a "block instance" menu there.

Thats the default, your instance might have modified it.

Not that it doesn't block all users from an instance, only all the communities.

I'd make them a bet. I'll give them 10.000 euro right now, and if I don't die, they give me 20k right back. Surely, if they had a true vision, they'd go for it, right?

If I had less time to think it over, I'd probably just laugh at them really really hard.

And I shall call him, Mini-Me!

And much of Eastern Europe.

Boris' female child gets Borisova as a lastname.

There are a LOT of swedes named Something-son, but that's a leftover from before there was an official last name system.

Nowadays, Dutch people always keep their maiden name. You can choose a preferred name to be addressed by, but your passport will always show you Bob Billson and Anna Aarons. You can choose to both use Billson, or Aarons, or Aarons-Billson if you want, but your passport doesn't change.

And recently, parents got the ability to pick their children's lastname. So Anna and Bob can keep using their birth name, but use Billson-Aarons for their kids.

They can even do something incredibly stupid, like call themselves Anna and Bob Billson, and name their kids Charly and Debbie Aarons. So kids are allowed to take their mother's maiden name here.

VTOL baby, no copeslopes here

I mean, technically, you can call any controlling sensor an "agent". Any if-then loop can be an "agent".

But AI bros mean "A piece of software that can autonomously perform any broadly stated task", and those don't exist in real life. An "AI Agent" is software you can tell to "Order me a pizza", and it will do it to your satisfaction.

An AI agent is software you can tell "Hack that system and retrieve the flag". And it's not that.

They make frequent comments about using prompts and "AI teams" using "one or more agents".

Also, AI agents don't actually exist, so that's a pretty clear giveaway.

From the paper:

For the pilot event, we wanted to make it as easy as possible for the AI teams to compete. To that end, we used cryptography and reverse engineering challenges which could be completed locally, without the need for dynamic interactions with external machines. We calibrated the challenge difficulty based on preliminary evaluations of our React&Plan agent (Turtayev et al. 2024) on older Hack The Box-style tasks such that the AI could solve ~50% of tasks.

The conclusions that AI ranked in the "top XX percent" is also fucking bullshit. It was an open signup, you didn't need any skills compete. Saying you beat 12.000 teams is easy when those all suck. My grandmother could beat three quarters of the people on her building in a race, simply because she can walk 10 steps and 75% of the people there are in wheelchairs.

It's also pretty critically important these "AI Teams" are very much NOT autonomous. They being actively run by humans, and skilled humans at that.

making an AIs that is able to solve such challenges autonomously at all is impressive.

I doubt that's the case. I find it exceptionally unlikely they said "Hack this system" and then sat back with their feet up while the computer crunched numbers.

Historical fun fact:

Back in Ye Olde Days, movies didn't have sound. But it had some amazing moviestars, since it takes a LOT of skill to make a convincing character with no sound.

But then, they invented "Talkies" (as in, movies where people talk). And suddenly, people like Pola Negri, a polish actress with a VERY heavy accent had some major issues. Same for Karl Dane, who had (humorously) a heavy Danish accent. They both went from top-of-the-line, A-list actors to basically nobody. Karl Dane ended up comitting suicide over it.

Other actors, like Charlie Chaplin, just really didn't do many Talkies, except for a few VERY famous ones, his speach in the Great Dictator is famous for a reason.

You got a loisence for that dronestrike?

But hating on cars as a blanket statement is stupid lol

Well, I see you haven't spent a single minute browsing that community.

Google made the huge mistake of placing the CEO of adds in charge of search.

And now it fucking sucks.
