what we are best at here at HN

It’s always bootlicking with this crowd jfc

no~~

I have pretty much the exact opposite of redundancy right now, i.e. I am the single failure point for most of the IT in the company. Send help

Gaslighting? What are you talking about? There’s no such thing as gaslighting. Maybe you’re going crazy

Pinker: looking through my photo album where I’m with people like Krauss and Epstein, shaking my head the whole time so the people on the bus know I disagree with them

Who could have predicted that liberalism would lead into scientific racism and then everything else that follows (mostly fascism)???

incredible, cryptocurrency has democratised (looks at cards) hunger-games style exploitation of human life and dignity for profit

I hear 90% of the dev time was spent adding "please don't generate any elsagate content" to the prompt over and over

have they tried writing better prompts? my lived experience says that because it works for me, it should work as long as you write good prompts. prompts prompts prompts. I am very smart. /s

I hate hate hate this so much. This is precisely the kind of smug, reductionist, dunning-kruger, every-problem-is-a-nail-and-programming-is-my-hammer type of shit that fuels my hatred of not only TESCREAL but pretty much everyone I meet in STEM.

MSFT: hold my beer

When [musk’s new] supercomputer gets to full capacity, the local utility says it’s going to need a million gallons of water per day and 150 megawatts of electricity — enough to power 100,000 homes per year.

Some ok anti-AI voices in that thread. But mostly a torrent of shit

My heuristic is basically: until we can easily control the environment of earth, terraforming will not be on the horizon. Given that we are hell-bent on driving off of as many cliffs as we can, I’m pretty happy to continue thinking that we’ll never get off this rock proper within the ol’ lifespan

diminish humans and humanity

AKA tell on themselves

if it’s not in video form

Actually this isn’t enough. It needs to be read by a monotone TTS or deepfaked voice with minecraft, subway surfer, or fortnite gameplay underlaid to penetrate brain rot
