"What if we figure out DNA well enough that we could edit a babby to grow NAND gate cells and put a calculator inside their body so they can do instant arithmetic like a computer?"

I assume he's talking about that kind of stuff, but being vague so you can't call him out if he gets details wrong.

Pretty sure this brand of cyborg fantasizing is quite popular in mainstream rationalism, unless you're reading something more creative in this than superbabies, brain uploading and HDMI to visual nerve for undetectable on-demand pornography.

I'm too jaded to get my hopes up, but wouldn't it be so nice if this were the beginning of the end for the AI bubble?

You know the old saw that half the money spent on marketing is wasted, just nobody knows which half? Thanks to AI we now know it's the half that's spent on AI.

What I like about this definition is that the lint in my navel is about 15% closer to AGI than OpenAI, having produced zero dollars of profit for them.

Ah, it's another Urbit isn't it?

The xn-- URLs are punycode encoding, which is how non-ASCII domain names work under the hood.

I've used rolling distros professionally on my one-man workstation and they've been fine. I wouldn't want it on a server without a regular update schedule, rigorously followed.

"Polished" is not what I'd call the bits of Omarchy I've come across.

Nothing. You should only look out for things when you notice a need that is not fulfilled by what you're currently running.

What he got wrong is that the emotionally stunted boss man in charge of executing the plans of the shadowy elite conspiracy was a grieving widowed wife guy and not just the most divorced man in the world.

We need to fight capitalism with giant mechs modeled after wealthy white leftist intellectuals. Here's my proposal for project Friedrich Evangelsion Unit-00

I try to leep my bullshit detector well-maintained; I see some AI crap being forced and think: "Well that's some bullshit!"

You know what, that's fair enough. I was talking about a pretty narrow definition of openwashing, but obviously something just being libre software doesn't make it good.

Lenovo Thinkpad laptops are generally well-supported (at least the mainstream business oriented product lines). The Linux support for Lenovo's consumer oriented budget laptops is just as much of a crapshoot as other manufacturers'.

I'm not sleeping on the job, I'm solving problems by lucid dreaming.

It's some of the funniest TV I've seen in ages and I demand another season.

True, those aren't my cup of tea either.

Come on, give Greta a chance, she's deserved it.

I think you're being annoying and obtuse. I think your reading of the reply I took the effort of giving you shows bad faith or poor reading comprehension. Your saving grace and the reason I'm not hurling invective at you is that after replying to multiple separate comments and asking for proof that DHH should be considered a fascist by some unspecified standard you seem to hold, you finally did go and search for the available information on your own.

It's your choice whether the behavior of the people involved counts as fascism in your eyes but I don't care for the attitude of coming into a thread and pestering multiple people to give you context you can find on your own. Trust me, we understood the first reply. No need for seven.
