Will glass coffins ever become popular? Remains to be seen.

feels like we're in a cultural and regulatory environment — not to mention the last 15 years of food science innovation — that some company could have another go at mixing alcohol with caffeine

When you’re cracking ChatGPT shyt and you ask them to talk dirty and they say “your dih isn’t just big — it’s large” and kills the whole vibe

while the rest of you played Goat Simulator some of us are living it

Some dude at Bungie when they were creating Halo:

We're about to enter the time of the year I call "the Shit Holidays": Valentines, the Super Bowl, Ash Wednesday, the Oscars. Mediocrity after mediocrity in a vain attempt to arouse broken spirits

these fucking nerds and their fucking clock

Is there an explanation as to why the liberal protesters aren't universally carrying American flags? It's such an easy and cheap way to get outsized sympathy from huge swaths of people *and* much more jarring picture and videos of police misconduct.

@yoxics Ngl Im gonna forget about this.

From the perspective of a caveman or even farmer from few hundred years back - most of our jobs (us city dwellers) are like UBI (universal basic income). You cannot convince a 15th century person that what a typical MBA grad does is a legit profession, let along one of the highest paid ones. In light of what is happening with AI - I have had an lightbulb moment - that Graeber’s “bullshit jobs” are actually a form of UBI. We need bullshit jobs to sustain the economy and the society. Just growing food, packaging it and feeding the 8B people of earth needs just 1-2% of the population to do it. What will the rest 98% do? Initial days of COVID lockdown showed us how the economy needs to constantly “move”. It collapses if stationery. If for even few weeks, people stop spending money, entire economy stalls, GDP free falls, everyone’s income becomes zero because everyone’s income after all comes from someone else spending money. So when people say that “if AGI automated everything then we need UBI” I guess they are not realising that before AI there has been electricity, computers, Internet, industrial manufacturing and lots of other paradigm shifts that have already done a wave of “automate everything”, and the human race just went ahead and invented yet another hundred million bullshit jobs to keep the displaced population busy with something to keep the economy moving. And we will do exactly the same after AGI as well.

achieving AGI by reducing the intelligence of the average human rather than increasing the intelligence of AI
