@stjoaps @VideosVuvu Hyenas are actually felids funnily enough

@VideosVuvu They don’t know how to kill a prey first like how cats do it.

@mrpeekshype @SolidusJJ AI only accounts for 15-20% of data center use. Most of it is streaming, general internet, and social media servers.

@SolidusJJ I think a lot more people are anti ai now that it’s a more physical immediate threat (data centers)

the anti-ai crowd got infinitely quieter the second it could generate something that could make them giggle

@TornadoRango @JusagiChan She does have a mouth though so you actually saved your innocence considering where it actually is

@JusagiChan Guys you gotta understand she can't give me a hickey she doesn't have a mouth I know I checked... for reasons.

okay come on that's just... you can't just... palworld just does what it wants huh

@sup3rei8ht @sssnatess @queenpeniel89 @McSmurray I feel people have it in their minds that people who choose to speak with AI over others have dozens of humans lined up but they are willingly ignoring them all for an LLM. Humans have always taken the path of least resistance and society nowadays has a lot of resistance

@sssnatess @queenpeniel89 @McSmurray Seems like this is a nuanced take that no one has a response for because unfortunately you're right.

Plane landed and a guy in the row ahead of me immediately opened ChatGPT to let it know he landed safely.

@zzWardan @Helldivers_NOW And to add, it’s code you don’t even need to think about. Your eyes can stay on the action the entire time while you setup it up at light speed since the flow is so smooth

@Helldivers_NOW Orbital Gatling. Upgraded ship = every 60+ seconds

What Strategem?

@shitpost_game Makes no sense, how is there a bench on the racetrack?

@ammalusty According to the International Energy Agency, AI makes up 20% of data center use at most. Streaming, browsing, and tweeting about AI makes up the vast majority of the rest. Cut corn in half by the way since half is for livestock and us. The other is for ethanol for gasoline.

why does no one care about the fact that we're projected to run out of clean drinking water by 2039 because of how much water ai data centers use please stop using chatgpt y'all, i beg. you do not need a shitty looking cartoon of yourself, i promise. the planet is dying.

@Prometheacc To me it’s that the fact that at best you can say “reasonable chance” rather than “for sure” that does heavy lifting. We know what quarks are and how they form subatomic particles but our own minds elude us still. Doesn’t have to be magic, could be we don’t have the questions yet

Yes, that's called Qualia but i think it's yet another layer of mysticism we put on neurology. That consciousness would be different from cognition, and subjective experience not be tied to material processes is an extraordinary claim whose evidence require proof rather than the other way around. Qualia is already something that one can intuitively infer to be something explainable quite simply: What is "rain" to us ? It's not just a word, it's a smell, it's a sound, it's an image, a memory and reptilian cortex drives from the limbic system. The brain is not just "one thing" it's a connectome: it's a network, and all functional lobes are conected to each other. This means that we can already infer "experiencing something" as not one thing, not manyy things, but the sum of interconnected parts related to that thing. That is why latent space exists in A.I ( the space in which words exists within an interconnected statistical landscape of "woman' being related to 'queen' being related to "lipstick") which can produce genuinely intelligent and intuitive things that it does today, and that is why neurologist were able to map the brain as different parts and not let it stay as a mysterious blob it was in the past. There is a reasonable chance that subjective experience derives from the same landscape of networks we see in modern technology without relying on something more mysterious.

I think in terms of speculative futurology, the future will evolve towards a demystification of consciousness and cognition, where thoughts, dreams, intent will be perfectly readable and extractable, and even consciousness itself. And that basically there will be no more distinction between synthetic and natural occurrences of those. And society will rather reorganize around the idea of engineered cognition. The idea that once we know exactly how all of those work, and we have total control over them, what do we do with them? What do we do with that control? The same way we ask ourselves, what do we do with chemistry once we mastered chemistry, or what do we do with transportation once we master transportation with planes and cars. And so we will live in a world where dreams can be perfectly tuned, somatic experiences, intelligence, creativity potentials, and so on. And basically, all of those will be, will exist on a metric, like programming or mechanisms exist on a metric. If consciousness and cognition are fully mechanistic, even if incredibly complex, then in principle every mental phenomenon: memory, dreams, creativity, intent, emotion, subjective experience, has an implementation that can be understood, measured, reproduced, and eventually engineered. That changes society in a fundamental way. Today we often treat mental states as private, mysterious, and authentic precisely because we don't know how they arise. They're no more mystical than chemical reactions. Instead of asking: "What are thoughts?" we would ask: "What configuration of cognition do we want?" Just as chemistry evolved from alchemy into engineering, cognition would evolve from psychology into cognitive engineering. That would erase many distinctions we currently care about: -natural vs synthetic creativity, -biological vs artificial consciousness, -innate vs engineered intelligence, -authentic vs induced emotions, -dreamed vs designed experiences. Those would become implementation details rather than philosophical categories. Society would then shift toward optimization problems. We might speak of intelligence, imagination, empathy, curiosity, resilience, even love, as configurable parameters with measurable trade-offs. Instead of asking whether someone is "gifted," we'd ask what architecture they are running.

@ALegendaryDrops Kind of unrelated but it’s crazy when you watch a YouTuber enough that you read their social media posts in the exact voice and cadence they use in their videos

Just take the L and move on. Palworld hit 25M copies sold almost a year ago, we will be hearing it cleared 30M+ sooner or later. It's tracking similar unit sales to Pokemon releases. nearly a million CONCURRENT is absurd and trying to frame it as anything else is beyond stupid

@BxddieDD Aluminum filling for cavities. They don’t do it much anymore, they use a new material that matches the color and texture of a tooth. Fun fact, those of us with the old fillings can’t chew aluminum foil or it’ll slightly electrocute our mouths

When yall laugh hard and tilt yall head back, what is that black stuff that be on yall back teeth???

@Bill6875 @NatureChapter True. Take a grain or sand out of the desert and it doesn’t harm the desert. However, the grains of sand that were touching that grain are very affected and the ones touching them as well.

@NatureChapter While it is tragic, there are 8 billion plus people. This won't hurt the species.

@Grarthnar @Dutch_Agent So are people. Kill a hostile NPC near wild Pals and watch what they do 😅

@Dutch_Agent Pals are food

Forgot how you start off Palworld on a beach with the cat, the sheep, and the chicken looking down at you THEY WERE CHECKING TO SEE IF YOU WERE DEAD THEY WERE GOING TO EAT YOU

@creature_freaky @Shadoo_creeture Isn’t this projecting human morals onto non-human animals of which case this behavior is also why they are even alive today?

@Shadoo_creeture animal guy here: this is competitive kidnapping, they are kidnapping the females. not cute.

hi

Immensely grateful that @ReedsyDiscovery gave “We’re All Colors” a “⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️-Must Read”. “… a refreshing perspective on horror fiction …” thank you Julia Pintus. The full review is here reedsy.com/discovery/book… #horrorbooks #books #shortstory

@abeyarrrrrr I’d say living in real life. Asking questions. Learn the hard way what isn’t possible, at least to our understanding of the world, and then ask, “But what if it wasn’t?”

I still wonder how a human brain can create this level of fiction.

@iamw1lsn @DramaAlert I don’t even know if Superman can kill a tick by stepping on it. They are over-engineered to be crush resistant

@DramaAlert Brooo just step on it wtf lol only mosquitos and wasps deserve such carnage from you😭😭😭

YouTuber Rusty Cage has been trying to kill a red star tic for over a week… and it has refused to die.

@rzofthenorth Shortly after this he “accidentally” shoots Megatron with a missile while pursuing another jet

Starscream vs F22's.

@Discod844 @scottdu23168205 @Sayitpop *shouldn’t the message*

@Discod844 @scottdu23168205 @Sayitpop While I pretty much agree with what you said, shouting the message be to manage it…for you? If we keep pushing the narrative that you have to think about others then we are right back at square one, you don’t matter.
