@CounterPunchDev @TheDaysMalaise @Geniustechw You might want to check your state’s gun laws. In my state, you can only shoot a dog if it’s in defense of another person, you can’t shoot a dog for fighting another dog, you’d probably get charged with negligence or animal cruelty.

@TheDaysMalaise @Geniustechw Because shooting the owner wouldn't stop the dog from biting and would land you in jail.

🚨Dog park turns into total chaos: leashed pit bull attacks off-leash dog, owners go nuclear yelling about leashes. Rule: Leash up for safety… or let 'em run free like it's designed for? Where do you stand?

My state deems that you’re only allowed to shoot if you’re defending a human. Again, in my state (idk bout yours), you can’t shoot a dog for fighting another dog. You’d probably get charged with negligence or animal cruelty and lose your CCW license, as much as I’d like to see an aggressive pitbull dealt with.

@Geniustechw “I can’t believe you hit my dog” Sir I would have shot your dog.

This is the epitome of a virtue signal and self-centeredness. Nobody asked in your 5 replies to that tweet. You and your ingroup of moral superiors are the only people on the planet that go from “look at my lashes” to “YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE” on the basis of what? Because you were seen? That’s TOP TIER comedy. Clearly you’re very secure in your emotions.

seems to be a lot of white supremacist accounts liking this, so let me be clear: you are not welcome here. i support immigrants, a free palestine, and the collapse of western imperialism. my family fought against the nazis, and so do i.

There’s this crazy thing we have in today’s society called “stocks” or “shares” and it allows you to collectively own one of those big scary bad exploitive companies you’re talking about. What a crazy concept. We should do it by force and violence instead. I’d much prefer that! When do we start?

@samkingpoop collectively owned

everytime i meet a man it’s a game of r u racist, homophobic, transphobic, right wing, capitalist, just dumb as fuck, or all of the above

@Logically_JC This thing puts out like 1/10th of what a nuclear reactor does Big shiny object has you talking about ballrooms lmfao

Yeah, but have you heard about our ballroom??

Bruh, the env file is literally short for environment variables. I have no idea why you think it’s some kind of dependency. They are literally key value pairs. You only avoid committing it if it’s unusually large (???) or it has secrets. I really don’t understand what you’re trying to convince me of, it’s not against the law to commit the fucking file if it makes sense and it doesn’t need to remain private.

How do you know I'm a vibe coder The mf:

Along these lines, I’m convinced that part of the great filter relates to the carrying capacity of the human species on Earth. Obviously, we have a concept in biology of carrying capacity for animals, but not for us. I speculate that our carrying capacity is not much influenced by geographical factors, but rather by psychological factors. I speculate, when the population starts to exceed a certain threshold (and the awareness of that population is apparent, e.g. we know there are 8 billion other people out there) that resentment (leftism) from the bottom tiers of the population starts to influence the species as a whole. Look at how the world has fundamentally changed from just 10 years ago, particularly in the progressive area: immigration, equity, feminism… I mean for crying out loud, look at the birth rates everywhere. Now, question, why isn’t it like that in Africa?

I suspect the great filter on space faring civilizations is actually just leftism. Anytime a species gets close the crabs in the bucket make the whole civilization crash back down into nothing.

Alcohol just sucks. I don’t know how anyone has fun drinking alcohol for intoxication. The experience is just unpleasant all the way from consumption to its effects. You either need to slurp down disgusting amounts of beerslop or do shots. Afterword, you’re a zombie with barely any cognitive function or motor skills. I get there’s a sweet spot somewhere for everyone, but very rarely are you able to hold that level, and nobody else does. I’d rather stimulate psychological effects than temporarily destroy my brain and body function. I’d rather drink for pleasure than intoxication, which those two things are mutually exclusive.

A society’s drug of choice speaks volumes about the nature and vitality of that society. The abandonment of alcohol and nicotine for marijuana and its derivatives is as strong an index of decline as any I can think of.

@TheRealJChubby I hope this is satire. Student loan debt is something like… $1.84T. This barely even scratches the surface of that total. So no, it’s not.

That is free college for everyone money spent on the dumbest shit imaginable but tell us more about how billionaires are smarter and harder working than the rest of us.

I get you, but applying a human concept of slavery to systems design is a choice. They’re systems, they control eachother. I didn’t even know about the slave part of this. I grew up in the I.T. sector literally thinking it meant “master of truth” like “source of truth.” This idea of human slavery was literally pushed upon me.

@_V3C7 @madeofmistak3 UNFORTUNATELY en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master–sl…

at work everyone was uncomfortable with using "master" as the main branch name on git so i changed it to "slave_coordinator"

I absolutely despise the clam that we should “worry about it going rogue.” (I know that’s not what youre saying) These models have one context and one output that determines their entire “observable” reality. They’re non-recursive without external help. How can something stateless and non-recursive like that even possess consciousness? Consciousness is the ability to be self aware, no? A stateless model can never be such.

LLM based AI is NOT conscious. I co-founded a company literally called Sentient, we're building reasoning systems for AGI, so believe me when I say this. I keep seeing smart people, people I genuinely respect, come out and say that AI has crossed into some kind of awareness. That it feels things, that we should worry about it going rogue. And i think this whole conversation tells us way more about ourselves than it does about AI. These models are wild, i won't pretend otherwise. But feeling human and actually having inner experience are completely different things and we're confusing the two because our brains literally can't help it. We evolved to see minds everywhere and now that wiring is misfiring on language models. I grew up in a philosophical tradition that has thought about consciousness longer than almost any other, and this is the part that really frustrates me about the current conversation. The entire framing of "does AI have consciousness?" assumes consciousness is something you build up to by adding more layers of complexity. In Vedantic philosophy it's the opposite. You don't build toward consciousness. Consciousness is already there, more fundamental than matter or energy. Everything else, including computation, is downstream of it. When someone tells me AI is "waking up" because it generated a paragraph that felt real, what they're telling me is how thin our understanding of consciousness has gotten. We've reduced a question humans have wrestled with for thousands of years to "did the output sound like it had feelings?" It's math that has gotten really good at predicting what a conscious being would say and do next. Calling that consciousness cheapens something that Vedantic, Buddhist, Greek and Sufi thinkers spent millennia actually sitting with. We didn't build something that thinks. We built a mirror and right now a lot of very smart people are mistaking the reflection for something looking back.

@GIshayu @LundukeJournal The concern is one of a slippery slope, not necessarily it’s current functionality.

@LundukeJournal It's really just a text field... no actual verification going on.

SystemD has added birth date storage in order to comply with Brazil and California Age Verification laws. Let that sink in. A Linux init system now handles Age Verification. github.com/systemd/system…

Firstly, I’m not trying to provoke you, I’m trying to understand how this idea about women’s healthcare came from this sperm stuff. This gives me a better idea, thank you. Thoughts? I’d like to know why they chose diabetes funding to compare to endometriosis funding, because diabetes doesn’t strike me as a gendered issue. Regardless, if the perspective here is generally that men’s issues get more attention, then I understand your concern. I was genuinely trying to understand why this research on sperm was upsetting when it’s not mutually exclusive to women’s research. Your argument is that it is indeed mutually exclusive, and I find that hard to empathize with, but I now understand, and I’m certainly not going to try to argue against that.

@_V3C7 @Painfulheal @Zoya_ki_batein What do you honestly think about this? Genuine question. (Excepert from the article I sent you in the other tweet)

A nanobot helping a sperm with motility issues along towards an egg. These metal helixes are so small they can completely wrap around the tail of a single sperm and assist it along its journey

@hexxem_ @Painfulheal @Zoya_ki_batein You’re intentionally applying a zero-sum thought process to research funding, as if there is some fixed amount of research money to go around. They’re both being researched. Why are you guys upset?

@_V3C7 @Painfulheal @Zoya_ki_batein The point is why is this research relevant enough to be funded and endometriosis research isnt?

How can anyone give your argument the benefit of the doubt when you’re saying stuff like this? Are you really looking us in the eye and telling us hormones disprove the thermodynamics argument, as if fundamental laws of physics “only work” without external variables? The whole thermodynamics argument is about regulating the energy you’re providing your body, it doesn’t imply starvation. It implies finding a balance without cheating yourself. I think this might come as a spoiler alert to you, but losing weight is an unpleasant experience, and so is gaining it. What are your thoughts on GLP-1s then? Do those make all of those magic hormones go away?

@chiguy892 @stepfanie That's funny, when I got done with your mom, she said, "Thermodynamics only work within isolated systems without variables like hormones or stool or cell repair or thermogenic inputs." You should have listened to her instead of growing up to be a dumbfuck.

But what about the ones with thyroid problems? Didn't they gain weight?

@hexxem_ @Painfulheal @Zoya_ki_batein Is this nanobot research somehow taking away from the research in those areas or something? What am I missing here?

@_V3C7 @Painfulheal @Zoya_ki_batein No, it means proper POS and endometriosis treatments, proper pain relief, proper research in SO MANY "basic" areas...
