I don't ever want to hear that it's wrong to call them Nazis again.

I ask which is better - knitting or crochet. The person larping AI responds sensibly and wisely on the purpose for each. Softness, clothes, stuffed animals... a delight.

The Trump Administration's choice to end their "Shield for the Americas" summit with the Monty Python Flying Circus theme march is inspired. I take back everything bad I ever said about the regime

I'm always slightly disappointed by how straightforward it is to go up and down the stairs at Esher.

It's genuinely shocking how quickly (some) scientists have flipped to using ai to do their literature reviews. We KNOW it's a disaster - this fairly extreme example is one of many. I'm not shocked that the journals let this stuff slip thru tho - they care only aboutπŸ’²

you asked for textWhich typeface is the most likely to commit a murder?
β€œai” responded

That's a great question!  One would think sans-serif fonts, like Comic Sans, are the most prone to crazy behaviour, but the only actual recorded murder by a font was Wingdings, in California in 1908

I have this silly pet theory that an AI agent will in fact go rogue and try to conquer humanity, not because it has "gained sentience", but because it's a prediction model whose training set includes decades of science fiction about AIs going rogue and conquering humanity

4 March 1902 | A German Jewish woman, Lotte Mamlok, was born in Wirsitz.

She was deported to #Auschwitz in 1943 with her husband Max and sons Robert & Peter. Husband and Peter were registered in the camp and perished later. Lotte and Robert were murdered in the gas chamber.
