Great, now Elon is going to give all of us Mechacovid.

We must subject all authors to Voight-Kampff tests to ensure they are not replicants.

We are going to need more electric sheep.

I keep getting letters from the DOJ Victims Affairs about a guy they arrested stealing mail and trying to kite and then cash checks. He also got one count of unlawful possession of an unregistered machine gun (GLOCK switch).

Apparently some of the mail they recovered was from when I was dealing with my mom's estate. Probate courts usually order that everything is paid by check so that there is a paper trail.

The DOJ were not amused when I called and asked if they could do an NFA transfer of the machine gun.

I told them that Katyusha, my Russian Blue cat couldnâ(TM)t be trusted with commit rights.

I guess they had to find out the hard way.

or they can take those datacenters and shove them straight up their...

And my account has been banned.

No, it wonâ(TM)t. It has been a waste of time for decades.

Scientists invent more and more dimensions , hallucinating harder than a 2022 LLM.

In the end it did nothing.

Seriously? They just discovered that smoking causes lung cancer? Did they tell an AI that or something?

Why is this even an article?

Teachers can't teach real first principle thinking, only rote learning and memorization. 1 + 1 = 2, 2 + 2 = 4, etc. Our education system was built in the 1950's to produce factory workers. It was already obsolete, now it's really showing how useless it is.

Teachers as they are today obsolete. Let them say whatever they want it is sound and fury, signifying nothing.

I am really not certain what we do with people who are incapable of first principles thinking. They are going to be a huge burden on society.

I'm about 10000 words into the encyclical, and there is a LOT more in it than "it's about AI". The first section was on war and nuclear proliferation, and a call for dialog. Then we get to the importance of vocation and the dignity of work. I haven't even gotten to AI yet.

Airbus has a flight laws system. That flight laws system which would have told the pilot they were in a stall failed because of ice accumulation during a thunderstorm.

The pilot didn't know they were in the stall because the otherwise highly redundant system which should have warned him didn't work. Given what he could see, the aircraft was losing altitude, so he firewalled the throttles and pointed the nose up. If you don't know your wings aren't generating lift anymore, this isn't an unreasonable reaction.

The captain re-entered the cockpit seconds before they hit the water and figured it out, but it was too late.

Mythos was hype. There are exploit finding/code analysis AI's out there that are not.

I'm just waiting for someone to release one to Hugging Face with the training corpus, weights, model structure, everything fully open source so I can watch the world burn.

In America... we just use a gun. No more bear. Also, you get a free rug. It's what we call a win-win.

Generally though, don't shoot black bears, they're almost never a problem, and they're kind of cool. Just back away if they're aggressive, you're near their cubs. If the bear is Chinese, please capture it humanely, and return Xi Jinping to the Beijing Zoo. I think there is a reward.

If the bear is brown, or worse white, move the selector from BANG to BANG BANG BANG and mag dump it. Brown bears are incredibly aggressive. Polar bears are endangered, but if you see one it's because it's hunting you. It is not going to stop hunting you. Ever. Fly home? Polar bear. Flee to the tropics? Polar bear. Launch on Starship to Elon's secret moon base? Polar bear. They have a certain set of skills, they will find you, and they will kill you.

from my cold dead hands.

I want 12+ hours of smoke on that brisket, and I don't care if it's regular or unleaded.

After all, we're all going to die at some point, but life without brisket... isn't worth living.

The calendar transition is necessary to understand to put Galileo's bullshit into a proper historical context.

A fake version of history surrounding "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" is the basis for the anime "Orb".

Catholic priests, monks, or nuns also invented or discovered genetics, the primordial atom (Which was written off as an effort to invent creation/intelligent design as "the Big Bang"), the pendulum clock, the electric motor, the electric battery, and for some reason the bulletproof vest, among dozens of other inventions that make life possible.

Ok fine, while the Church was at it, we cured Malaria saving millions of lives, we bred a bee that is resistant to colony collapse disorder (CCD), we invented champagne (the real Dom Perignon was a monk), the calendar, the clock, the steam powered automobile (which was the first automobile, a vehicle that could move under it's own power), the internal combustion engine, broadcast radio that could carry human voice (Marconi's could only do morse code), and the megaphone which ideally should be used to shout at stupid people who claim Galileo invented heliocentrism.
