Iām not saying it was a good idea but every society has tried to solve the problem of āsociety needs organization to function but power tends to corrupt peopleā and I like how ancient Romeās answer was the position of the tribune, where you get to have unchecked power with no accountability for one (1) year but after that youāre just a guy and everyone you pissed off can beat you to death with hammers.
i started reading this book and kept tilting my head at the comparisons the author was using so i started a running list of them
this author's use of imagery is so questionable
i actually went "what the fuck" and had to stop for like 5 minutes after this one
I feel like this is important information about this post.
@pangur-and-grim somehow I have a feeling you'd like these.
I lowkey hate when programs talk to me in a friendly way. "don't worry, nearly there!" Shut up. It should say "loading 64.3% completed. Do not turn off device" and absolutely nothing else. You arent my friend you are computer. Act like it
that photo is one of the sexiest things i have ever seen.
Wait is that THIS cat?
IT IS
Turns out the scheming eunuch's love for you is genuine
so cool how advanced the algorithm has become, it literally only takes like a decade or more of spying on all my internet activity and then it can expertly curate a selection of 15-20 youtube videos that i don't really want to watch, and then keep showing me those videos over and over again for a week so i can scroll past them again. the future is now
just saw a chair so photogenic I had to reevaluate my feelings towards plastic furniture
do you see this. beyond ridiculous
what are our thoughts
I understand your feelings for the chair robin crabussy
unpost this right now you strange strange man
I hired a wizard to cast png on it. effervescent
sometimes I regret having "USA" in my filtered terms because I just clicked on a filtered post out of curiosity and it was about rehoming a polyamorous peacock. in my endeavour to spare myself from a constant barrage of US politics I am missing out on Peacock Polycule Drama. a sad day indeed
what monger are you?
warmonger
fearmonger
fishmonger
cheesemonger
whoremonger
ironmonger
more than one. mongrelmonger.
we gotta get back into revolving bookcases i'm begging
truly we allow the pinnacles of human achievement to wither and collapse into ashes in the wind
These are the most fuckable bookshelves Iāve ever seen
only time i will endorse putting hypermodern memes/slang/references into historical adaptation stuff is with shakespeare. so many of his jokes are his contemporary equivalent of that anyway. he would have loved secret third thing. he would have loved counting or not counting gang violence
"cozy bookstore" "cozy cafe with a bookshelf" "omg imagine if there was a place you could just sit and read at" we have this its called the library. you guys want to go to the library. the two college libraries near me have cafes inside and they are open to the public. people need to go to the library
Once i had a teacher who was OBSESSED with
A) resource guarding
And
B) Harry Potter
So naturally, every time someone didnāt have a pencil she would charge them 10 house points (which, even in schools where there is an actual house point system, probably doesnāt fucking happen). She openly held the belief that she had to ascribe value to these precious writing implements or else no one would appreciate them, a concept evidenced by, i kid you not, how when homeless people are given houses for free they let them fall into disarray, because they didnāt pay for the house and therefore didnāt care about it. I, a pissed off 13 year old with a vendetta against power hungry teachers and also JK Rowling, brought a 100 pack of pencils to school so that whenever someone had to ask for one, instead of being charged a fictional currency and upsetting their fellow, deeply competitive students, i would just give them one. If the pencil didnāt come from the teacher, she couldnāt charge points for it.
This upset her. She couldnāt assert her power over the 1st period Advanced 8th Grade Math Class anymore. For i, The Pencil Liberator, had come to put an end to her tyrannous behavior.
She told me to stop about 30 pencils in.
characters in movies love to wake up from surgery and immediately start ripping off all their medical equipment like theyre a sexy werewolf breaking their chains. brother you dont know if that tube is the only thing keeping you alive right now. calm down.
the youtube notification of ''ooohh your video isn't starting up smoothly???? turn off your ad blocker you cunt <3'' is so pathetic to me bc it takes five seconds max. you think i can't wait five seconds? you think i need to give you money because five seconds is too long? i pity your wife.
needing to take a shower: worst feeling in the world getting into the shower: hardest task in the world being in the shower: šæš§¼šš§“š«§ getting out of the shower: second hardest task in the world being out of the shower: (soft hair) (soft skin) (cozy towel) (clean clothes) why is getting into the shower always so hard. i should remember this feeling (most beautiful feeling in the world) next time i need to take a shower
I went to a library book sale this weekend and I found a very old book called āElectronic Life: How to Think About Computers,ā which was published in I think 1975? Iāve been reading it kind of like how I would read a historical document, and itās lowkey fascinating
Thereās a whole paragraph thatās like āokay, find the keyboard. Donāt panic if it has more keys than a typewriter, thatās normal. Really, itās fine. The extra keys donāt make things harder. Itās FINEā
Thought this section was particularly interesting:
Can the computer create something? At first glance it seems obvious that it can. Animated computer graphics, with their fluid transitions and whiplash perspectives, look strikingly new. And if one watches the machine doing animation work, there seem to be lengthy periods when the computer is acting āon its own.ā
But if one observes these processes in more detail, it becomes clear that creation is not occurring within the machine. First of all, computer graphics are not unique. Computers have yet to generate anything that cannot be done by handāand usually already has been done. Second, the apparent ability of the computer to āact on its ownā is the outcome of thousands of hours of patient human effort to refine its instructions. The computer can manipulate a shape for us if we have already informed it what a shape is, what the rules for shape manipulation are, what this specific shape is, and so forth.
You can start an automobile engine and it will run by itself, too, but that doesnāt mean itās being creative. Itās just running.
Somebody in 1975 had a better understanding of why artificial intelligence is not in any way āintelligenceā than the majority of todayās intellectual minds.
