aw, you got better :)

haha what

I don't even care about the public place aspect, I just don't like her.

...is not the word you are looking for

You should keep trying, because that is the only logical conclusion.

You're confused.

Bizarre thinking.

Thanks for the warning.

Oh, all of the governments are gone? Not sure, then...

PowerShell is so much worse.

This book terrified me as a child and likely shaped my existence more than I realize. Thank you for reminding me about it, I should read soon.

I don't think he hated Twitter, I think he was persuaded to destabilize it and make it a ghetto so that people using it to coordinate against authoritarian regimes wouldn't be taken seriously. If you just shut it down you forfeit power as people instantly move to other platforms.

Elon clearly isn't a great person, but he has been involved in some relatively successful projects - the idea that he genuinely couldn't hack it at Twitter is just absurd.

I didn't use it either, but a lot of people did - often for much more important things than what we're doing here. That's why he is killing it.

That was - rather transparently - his goal from the very beginning.

Sorry, I guess what I was trying to say is that it doesn't take much to get from "calculator" to a system that is Turing complete, and from there we're just a few sleeps away from LLMs, and from there...

Isn't it, though? Take two cells and rub them together, do it a bit more, boom here we are on Lemmy.

We wouldn't refer to our consciousness as an emergent property of algae.

That makes it so much worse. "Yesterday we experienced x, something that might have seemed incredibly traumatic and disruptive, but please do not fret, for we are doing great today! In fact, we don't remember a thing from yesterday, hehe! Ok, anyway, we should really focus on our larger goals."

"most reasonable people" - indirect ad hominem is still ad hominem. You are making a fool of yourself.

Are you just fucking around here? C'mon. In your hypothetical scenario, the emergent property would not be "of a calculator".

not everything is about you, friend

damn
