I've given light bonks to my wife before. It's a shame the judge won't see reason.

That weird urge is like 80% people feeling the need to correct OP's grammar, like birds do when they hear the wrong birdsong, as if there were anything at stake here.

Honestly, I wish people would play with definitions more. It's fun. And, unironically, you would be a much better mathematician than most of the know-it-alls here.

Yeah, "democratize art" means "I'm jealous of the cash sloshing around out there."

People say things like "I'm not as good as this guy on TikTok." Why do you need to be? Literally, who asked?

Anyone who puts a chatbot anywhere is definitely a failure, yeah.

it makes sense to prepare for when it is.

Pfft, okay.

The Zoom CEO, that is the video calling software, wanted to train AIs on your work emails and chat messages to create AI personalities you could send to the meetings you're paid to sit through while you drink Corona on the beach and receive a "summary" later.

The Zoom CEO, that is the video calling software, seems like a pretty stupid guy?

Yeah. Yeah, he really does. Really.. fuckin'.. dumb.

Well, you're welcome. :p
I'll leave this then, too. I was going to, but this didn't actually have the elevator in it.

I forget where I saw this, but trees are kind of like crabs, in that they've convergently evolved many, many, many different times. Pretty interesting!

Maybe you failed all your high school classes, but that ain't got none to do with me.

Have you never heard of the elevator conformity experiment?

I don't know if you're being serious or not.

You've got to follow the pulse of the crowd. "You're cringe" either sounds like the final blow to a shaky-legged cringe lord, or the last gasp of air from a voice-cracking, 14-year-old tough guy, depending on who the crowd is already inclined to agree with and possibly on whether they know what a floppy drive is.

The bottom line, though, is if you can get the crowd to cheer, then you can get other people to cheer.

Yeah, bait for them. The point is to make them more mad than you are, that's how you damage their social reputation.

I think it'd be nice if there was an OS-app version of the web browser middle-click. I never feel confused about whether an opened link is or is not taking focus because I shared my intent by which mouse button I used (left: open and switch, middle: just open).

There's a lot you can do, actually. You can put people in jail, for one. Possession in non-designated areas, such as a construction site or a personal residence, could lead to confiscation and a misdemeanor. It can just be socially impolite to have one around people—you know, like your car keys are after you've been drinking.

The chasm of understanding is that you don't want to do anything—literally anything—about abuse in your society.

And for what? So that chatgpt can give you advice on what to order next from your burrito taxi? So that you don't have to go through the pain of writing a long email to your boss that he's going to summarize with the same AI service anyway?

I don't think being able to generate funny looking pictures is worth letting Palantir, another pet project of the vampire Peter Thiel, create a nightmare social-credit system actually worthy of 1984 to deter union advocacy, palastinian-genocide protest, being remotely anti-Trump—anything found disagreeable to the state—from ever realistically happening again. In all countries, mind you.

We can't do anything about that?

...

You know what else we can't do anything about? Global Warming. When the water wars finally kill us, I suppose I'll come greet you in hell.

God, it really doesn't take much to bring out the spite and resentment from people, does it?

And yes, I'm talking about you, Captain.

I don't know if you know this, but there are a limited number of kidneys to transplant. I honestly don't know what else to say.

Yes. I know you were.
So, is it that you do think a board of real human people is better, then?

Okay? So does it meaningfully help to restrict hammer use or doesn't it? I'm the one asking the question, you're just kind of handwaving it away, as if restricting hammers would be "ridiculous."

It's just funny that the simple one would win. It's like a whitebelt getting a technical win against a judo master—it's just funny that it happened.

Both of these frog images are the work of people, though, which is something AI can't give you, so...

What is the objective criteria?
