but why am I soft in the middle? The rest of my life is so hard!

thank you for raising awareness on this, I had no clue

I want to boycott Lockheed Martin but man… I was really looking forward to getting that Black Hawk helicopter for Xmas! No, but really, a few of the companies in this list are a relative surprise (Bcom, AirBnB), others are well known pieces of s*t, a few are literally in the military industry and are probably involved in every conflict in the world (or they are actively trying to)

Is Ukraine close to Putin’s record at killing Russians?

but… but… reasoning models! AGI! Singularity! Seriously, what you’re saying is true, but it’s not what OpenAI & Co are trying to peddle, so these experiments are a good way to call them out on their BS.

Congrats then, you write better than a LLM!

Interestingly, your original comment is not much longer and I find it much easier to read.

Was it written with the help of a LLM? Not being sarcastic, I’m just trying to understand if the (perceived) deterioration in quality was due to the fact that the input was already LLM-assisted.

They are just checking if there’s something in there that someone hasn’t already sent to a journalist on a Signal chat, or blurted out in conversations with foreign government members

In order to make sure they were wealthy enough, I’m sure he personally tested them one by one, challenging to send him a big donation in cryptocurrencies.

That’s what a committed President-slash-genius looks like!

60% success rate sounds like a very optimistic take. Investing in a AI startup with 60% chance of success? That’s a VC’s wet dream!

“Eventually” might be a long time with radiation.

20 years after the Chernobyl disaster the level of radiation was still high enough to give you a good chance of cancer if you went to live there for a few years.

I don’t know how much radiation these “tactical” weapons release, but if it’s comparable to Chernobyl, even if the buildings were not originally damaged, I don’t know how fit they would be for living after being abandoned for 30 or 40 years.

I don’t know about running for President, but running for his life sounds like a wise choice

It was Anthropic who ran this experiment

Gives Putin a shot “I grant you immunity… from the measles!”

Gives Putin a second shot “but alas… Not from Polonium”

rest of Tokio is mostly intact

and housing becomes much more accessible too when buildings are intact but their inhabitants have much shorter lives because of radiation

translation from Russian: they will keep bombing schools and hospitals in Ukraine, but now it’s going to be a “reaction” just because they were provoked

can he swing from a web

no, he can’t, he’s a pig

Thanks, I hadn’t seen that. To be fair if they really have this itch to bomb a city, let it be Agrabah.

That magical energy they are developing can’t be only for peaceful uses. They must be stopped! We should oust the current government and help Mr. Jafar be Sultan, I hear he’s a very modern and business-friendly guy.

Quick recap for future historians:

• for a really brief part of its history, humanity tried to give kindness a go. A half-hearted attempt at best, but there were things like DEI programs, for instance, attempting to create a gentler, more accepting world for everyone. At the very least, trying to appear human to the people they managed was seen as a good attribute for Leaders.

• some people felt that their God-given right to be assholes to everyone was being taken away (it’s right there in the Bible: be a jerk to your neighbor, take away his job and f##k his wife)

• Assholes came back in full force, with a vengeance. Not that they had ever disappeared, but now they relished the opportunity to be openly mean for no reason again. Once again, True Leaders were judged by their ability to drain every drop of blood from their employees and take their still-beating hearts as an offering to the Almighty Shareholders.
