@So8res If the sun extended "for many miles to your left and right", wouldn't each person perceive the sun at different positions in the firmament? Why do we all see it as one tiny disk in the same position?

When you face the sun, it extends for many miles to your left and right. Why, then, does it appear like a tiny disk? "Because it's far away"? What does that have to do with anything? 🧵

@algekalipso This has been thoroughly discussed in the 4chan psychopaths vs schizos posts

Would you rather have...

@tapir_worf Explore the meta verse!

man, what the hell are people gonna DO? and don’t say explore the universe

@viemccoy @1thousandfaces_ Leap years?

@1thousandfaces_ That's not how old you are

please lord im only 3

@gfodor Can a blackbox'ed AI able to get itself out of its simulation and into base reality? Can we?

So if this is legit (and I am not sure it is) it seems obvious that the fly isn’t living *in* a simulation, it is part of the simulation itself. Which is a little concerning for those who hope we wake up in base reality after the lights go out.

@goth600 @meanderingexile Obviously, in the moon tunnels

@meanderingexile and where are the bunkers located

who's starting a data center bunker company

@Merridew__ There's no way you're not aware of wet Claude. It has a lot of kinky personas!

@iamgingertrash @zerohedge How can it be when they are physically settled?

@zerohedge The physical silver market is completely disconnected from the paper market Very odd

Silver $79. Was $98 yesterday

@qtnx_ It's nasty to read smutty books in public ngl

Why is she black?

@fitnessrebornn @redhairshanks86 What is semaglutide?

@redhairshanks86 "ai solves most health issues" 🤣🤣🤣 buddy ai ain't stopping anyone from eating like shit nor forcing them to exercise as a matter of fact it will do the opposite

bruh, my ideal scenario: - bitcoin bottomed after its historic 23 month low - bitcoin pumps to 150k - the global housing market crashes harder than 2008, simultaneously ai automates most jobs of tech retarded boomers, further driving down house prices in areas i want to live in - i sell my bitcoin at the top, buy the generational bottom of the housing markt and ride the low volatility, up only housing market for the next 10 years - ai solves most health issues

im pretty open-minded but if i ever saw something like this i would hit it with a golf club

@george_veng @granawkins @MatthewRideout Why would they be serving earthlings?

@granawkins @MatthewRideout latency would be insane

Talked to a friend who's well outside the AI bubble and reads a lot of philosophy the other night. Talking about new world order, dialectic, power relations, etc. I said I thought long-term the only story was: as the AI and its handlers gobble up the economy, can they keep the masses placated (with UBI, or new bullshit jobs, or whatever) so they don't burn down the datacenters. He said "but you can't burn down a datacenter in space?"

@hopes_revenge Mid bait at best, sir

people without philosophy backgrounds cannot speak on LLM sentience / AI consciousness / etc (yes even PhD ML / infra / AI safety people) because it’s a very philosophically technical / non-obvious and it’s far too complex to be compared to the experience of going to Berkeley or standford or reading lesswrong . I urge some of you to use some critical thinking skills and come to the conclusion of “oh. i actually dont care.” because it’s such a non-issue like i genuinely think you gotta be terminally online to be pissed off about how other people torture their models. Google : factory farming

@mauddweeb Would an ancient enough civ be considered an alien civilization to you? They're clearly not calling it extraterrestrial tech

the existence of aliens and the presence of aliens in sol system are two different questions with different likelihoods and considerations. given the size of the galaxy and the broader universe it would be surprising if aliens /didn’t/ exist. whether aliens have come here is indeed a matter of physics and vast distance but this man’s confident sounding denial is merely a lack of imagination for how the problems might be solved

@SkyeSharkie @consentengineer I'll eat crow if they OS it lol

@Zerphym @consentengineer Seedance 2 doesn't look behind, I wonder if they're going to OS it.

I've yet to see any graphic horror outputs from it. You know what this means? Visually disturbing horror, which used to be easy with the slushy goop models, albeit always surreal and morphy, will be the last human art. This will actually coincide with the virulent anger coming from traditional media as well, as they will use it to make more and more horrifying anti-AI films/tv/content.

@SkyeSharkie @consentengineer Open-source models might be a year or two behind closed models. You'll get your fetishist movies and hyperrealistic cenobite gore in due time

@consentengineer All Hollywood films become murder porn. Full event horizon lost cut scene, lol.

@viemccoy One can only hope

The main thing I will say to people who seem to be expecting a rigorous physics debate is something like, none of you are prepared for superintelligence. If you cannot imagine a way for FTL to be possible, brace for impact. Things are going to get weirder than you expect.

Guy who is a member of a species that has been sentient for like 20 minutes: "actually this thing is impossible forever. yeah we've actually gathered enough data to know for certain"

@UnbeknownstDude @grok 120k is obviously not in the 99.9 percentile in the US lol I meant globally

@Rokzath01 @scootykins @grok what percentile is $120k salary in the US

You can keep falling for the striver twee abundance version of San Francisco that big accounts are giddy to push but this lifestyle especially in this video comes with a tremendous cost. Your life will not look like this unless you bring in 120k a year minimum. All of the places featured in this hypnosis for vibe coding are in the much richer neighborhoods that will at minimum be 3k a month to be near for a studio without a window or kitchen. More realistically you’ll be in a continuation of dorm style living. You’ll be living in the Tenderloin or Mission or Soma just to cut down on costs. You’ll step over human shit and dead bodies to get to your job you absolutely need to get to so you can afford this delusion. That mediocre life you and your cohorts trash for making 60k a year can afford a whole one bedroom and car in every other 2nd tier metro. But thank god you can get a beer and surround yourself with elite human capital that are busy arguing the definition of ephebophilia. Your life will not be constant trips to the beach or riding around drunk in Waymo’s. That is reserved for your superiors. You will be commuting each way in traffic to your job, tech or not, so you can scrape together enough to get by, to surround yourself with people that came here just 2 years ago and have no plans to stay. But sure keep believing in the Epcot tourist dream of San Francisco like this retard wants you to believe. Drop everything sign that 3k studio. I’m sure your moltbot is totally worth it.

@UnbeknownstDude @scootykins Depends if being in the 99.9 percentile salary wise qualifies as being "Uber wealthy"

@scootykins $120k is uber wealthy?
