I feel like you’re just kinda reaching here so you can tar the author with a badthink wrongtribe brush
I want the badthink wrongtibe brush to be 6 feet long, hewn from ancient oak, and adorning the mantle in the hidden room. The ink can be a special blend of volcanic ash, wildfire ash, meteorite dust, and blood.
Problematic developer with AI crush
I thought this was gonna go in a completely different direction.
Setting: romantic sunset beach, without a crowd in sight. There is no sound but that of a gentle breeze, waves lapping at the shore, and seagulls in the distance. Ryan turns to his girlfriend Tiffany. He gets down on his knees, the sand muddying his pants. Tiffany clasps her hands over her mouth in disbelief. Ryan says: “Tiffany you are the light of my life. You have made me a better man. I can’t see me living with anyone else but you. Will… will you marry m-- bzzt. Thank you for using Virtua-Boyfriend, unfortunately we ran out of VC money so are shutting down.”.
You know I’ve been thinking lately that there is a lot of great art along these lines on the net these days. I think it’s thanks to the youth.
I am seriously considering buying this bumper sticker: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1604547776/you-can-go-to-hell-im-going-to-the
Pretty sure that was just a Tao Te Ching joke.
So let’s run with it (I’m so sorry)
The DAO that can be patched is not the enduring and unchanging DAO. The domain name that can be transferred is not the enduring and unchanging ENS name.
Having no name, Satoshi is the Originator of heaven and earth; having a name, he is the Mother of all coins.
Always without weak hands we must be found, If its deep fucking value we would sound; But if FUD always within us be, The price we deserve is all that we shall see.
Under the unchanging protocol, it is really the same; but as development takes place, it receives the different transaction formats. Together we call them the Bitcoin Improvement Proposals. Where the git tree is the deepest is the gate of all that is subtle and wonderful.
All in the world know the beauty of the scarcity, and in doing this they know what fiat is; they all know the value of the decentralized currency, and in doing this they know what the US dollar is.
So it is that value and fiat give birth the one to the other; that difficulty and ease produce the other; that hodlers and weak hands fashion the two sides of a transaction; that orange-pilled and normies arise from the contrast of the one with the other; that the musical notes and tones of Zuckerberg’s cryptocurrency music videos become harmonious through the relation of one with another; and that being still early and late give the idea of one following another.
Therefore the hodler manages affairs without doing anything, and conveys his transactions without the use of a hot wallet.
New blocks spring up, and there is not one which declines to show itself; they grow, and there is no claim required for their ownership; they go through the blockchain, and there is statistically no expectation of a block reward. The work is accomplished, so that the transactions may flow.
The work is done, but how no one can see; 'Tis because we don’t talk about coins to family.
It’s weird how secretive they’re being about the location. The website doesn’t say where it is, just that it’s an hour away (by boat? by plane?) from Singapore. There’s no actual photos, just AI mockups or whatever. You need to apply to find out the location apparently. No word on if they have actual buildings or tents or shacks or what.
Imagine if you wanted to go to a non-culty school and they were like “yeah, we’ll tell you what country our campus is in… once you apply!”
Don’t worry I’m sure they’ll use their cryptocurrency scam money to keep their hungry students well f–
oh. oh no.
Bryan Johnson is working with us to make longevity a core part of the program. All attendees get daily Blueprint meals and group workouts with semi-personal trainers.

Always a coin flip on if circlejerk subs are fascist or not. But this one looks pretty alright at first glance! Lots of making fun of transphobia and creepy people.
Ugh you’re probably right. I thought it looked weird but didn’t really think about it.
Latest from Cyberstuck: Just see for yourself. I… I have no words.
Update: I may have been bamboozled by computer imagery. Someone call Captain Disillusion.
Optimizing mating strategies? But I’m terrible at chess!
Just as long as you don’t say the ‘c’ word.

My wife just received an email from the online retailer. She has been asked to “Not take any photographs or copies of the product in question due to copyright issues” and it states, “the product must be returned immediately by special delivery by [DATE].” There’s some other statements as well about our account being terminated if we fail to return the product by the specific date. We’ve got a lot of movies and series that we have purchased over the years on this account, I wouldn’t want to lose them.
They’ve stated that taking photos of the book will break a bunch of laws. They also stated that not promptly returning the book would may break some laws, and lead to the termination of my account.
Does the CEO of Totally-Not-Amazon know that his company is signing it’s name to stupid letters?
Dude came up with an unofficial wikipedia article naming dispute resolution process, used it on a single article, saw the mostly negative feedback…
And thought “you know what. I should build a political party around this and get Elon Musk on board”.
15 years to realize their UIs might be bad. How many years until they realize UI and system design (including protocols, backend, etc) are inextricably linked?
Microsoft’s excuse is that many of these attacks require an insider.
Sure we made phishing way easier, more dangerous, and more subtle; but it was the user’s fault for trusting our Don’t Trust Anything I Say O-Matic workplace productivity suite!
Edit: and really from the demos it looks like a user wouldn’t have to do anything at all besides write “summarize my emails” once. No need to click on anything for confidential info to be exfiltrated if the chatbot can already download arbitrary URLs based on the prompt injection!
Generative AI animations already draw completely cursed faces*, I can’t wait to see what they do with youtuber face.
* Gee I wonder why Sora used a balloon head for their big demo. I’m sure that’s a coincidence.
What if the simulation was created specifically to have lower suffering/higher utils than in reality?
Wait so maybe the universe is just a cosmic gated community? No wonder there are so many racists.

Yikes, OK I already regret clicking that link.
What really gets me about this sort of nonsense is how anthropocentric it all is.
Like they’re just assuming that if we can make simulations, then a simulator simulating the universe would work largely the same because statistics or whatever.
Even if you accept this statistical hand-waving, simulations we have today are generally extremely different from the real world. For instance: Mario Kart, The Game of Life, Chess Moves, C++ compilation, Bitcoin hashes, MIDI instruments, Communication protocols, Elevator motion, Wind tunnel simulations, Building Load simulations, Weather pattern simulations, Art brush strokes, Lara Croft hair motion, Chip’s Challenge, vtuber facial recognition and animation, compression, ray tracing, drug interaction simulations, erosion simulation, 3D renders for animes about gunslinging high school girls, computers made out of water channels, and DRM.
And if you don’t accept the statistical argument then what you can reason about extra-dimensionally is extremely limited. Even if there is an embedding universe, it doesn’t have to play by the rules of our universe. It could be unimaginably vast. Or the idea of “vastness” or “time” or “space” might not even make sense. Or the very concept of “sense”, “nonsense”, “possible” or “impossible” could be absent. Time could be 7D, or not there at all.
The world could be a tapestry painted by Lord Quuxlox the world painter. Alice could have used her sage skill Another Kingdom to create the setting for her twisted theme park. Someone could have pressed the 7G button by accident. There could be a vast space of possibilities where all things that can exist or cannot exist are born and die.
This is of course all a very silly line of thought I just wrote, but no more silly than shouting “I NO LONGER CONSENT TO BEING IN THE MATRIX” as if someone (who knows English! and can separate it out from all the noise in the universe!) was listening.
It’s just looking for a God or an afterlife without turning to religion.
