principal of explosion would make an awesome really gimmicky supervillain name for a high school setting.
The Trump administration just announced that it will help Saudi Arabia develop a civilian nuclear program. That’s a big deal for the region. And the U.S. is willing to drop some key safeguards of previous nuclear agreements — which is also a big deal.
fighting a war to discourage a theocratic Islamic regime with a poor human rights record from developing their nuclear program etc.
I started using Head and Shoulders ten years ago for itchy scalp and dandruff, and then for ten years I have not had itchy scalp and dandruff, so I thought “why do I still buy shampoo to combat itchy scalp and dandruff when I do not have itchy scalp and dandruff,” so I stopped buying the shampoo for itchy scalp and dandruff and can you guess I have now? Can you predict what currently afflicts me? It’s alright if you can’t because apparently I fuckin couldn’t either
Cutting something out of your life because you think you don’t need it any more only to realize that it was in fact working as intended and preventing a problem that will return should you stop doing this is a good experiment to run periodically with something small like dandruff shampoo, lest you start to think it would be a good idea to do this with like let’s say public health and the social safety net and vaccines
I had a liver transplant when I was 14 and like six months later I was chatting with my surgeon and he said “there’s gonna come a time, probably when you’re a teenager, where you’re gonna think, ‘I feel great, why am I still taking all this medication? I haven’t needed it in years.’ and you’re gonna want to stop taking all this medication. Guess what’s gonna happen then? You’re gonna go into rejection and your liver is gonna start failing, and you’re gonna be dying again, and we’re gonna have to find you another liver. So don’t do that.” And I said “why the fuck would anyone do that?” and he said “people are stupid.”
every once in a while when I get annoyed by a pharmacy or don’t wanna get out of bed to do my drugs I think “ugh, this is dumb, why do I do this?” and that conversation slams into me like a truck and I remember that I am, in fact, stupid
#you are not immune to the recency bias(via@arrows-for-pens)
Every person on earth needs to read this post. It will make people’s lives a lot better and lessen the crises everyone faces in day-to-day lives.
I reblog this every time I see it because I am not immune to the recency bias
the post going around about how you can't automate various fabric processing/sewing tasks is largely not correct and i think suffers substantially from treating technology as separate from economy/policy/research funding/capital. & have a half-thought-out response but wanted to plant a small flag first. you can cut fabric to a pattern in a variety of more or less automated ways. & furthermore the extent to which automation is or is not happening is partially to do with legitimate difficulty of robotic manipulation of flexible materials & textiles AND partially to do with the cost of automation vs cost of sweatshop labor. i think it rly devalues the role of globalization of the supply chain & exploitation of labor in the global south to just hand-wave textile & clothing automation as impossible when it is not so
I hope they release more details about the code that pulled this off. I’m assuming this means packages using the datasets library, a Hugging Face project for bundling up and sharing datasets on their platform. That library used to execute arbitrary code but has been steadily locked down over time, with the 4.0.0 release in July 2025 removing the trust_remote_code=True flag entirely.
it is very clever that models can break containment, but when people have flags like "trust_remote_code" I mean, yeah.
when we were arguing about this back in 2015 (!) I was saying that AI safety is a subset of software safety, and here we are.

Me: oh if only I had a way to plot points in two dimensions
The ever reliable cartesian coordinate plane:
My girlfriend and I are laying quietly in the pitch black bedroom. In a soft whisper with no inflection, I said, “Someone is here.”
My girlfriend’s whole body stiffens and they go, “What the FUCK!”
They didn’t feel the little kitty feet I felt or have the context so instead of understanding a cat was joining us in bed they thought I was signaling the start of a horror movie.
Stay positive Aimee
people have lots of pet peeves with guys being/being called grunglers. i dont care abt any of that. my annoyance is that in the original tweet the guy himself was not the grungler, the messed up dark souls character he made while on call with strange transsexuals was the grungler. ur all misusing the term
grungler's monster

The issue of trans women being sent to men's prisons isn't brought up as being a monstrous thing because of the misgendering, it's monstrous because we're sent there to be legally sex trafficked.
That's what V-coding is. That is why they are so adamant about sending trans women to men's prisons, because sex trafficking trans women within the men's prison system is an essential part of that system. Being misgendered by this isn't even an issue that's on our radar!
crazy to me that there's women in stem slander when they are literally the most interesting and captivating people on earth. I'm sorry you underachieved because you thought that's just what girls do and are insecure about it or you're an underachieving boy who can't stand a woman more successful than you, but the girl who loves sewerage infrastructure does in fact also have a fulfilling sex life.
posts that hint at submerged horrors
I mean discourse not sewerage infrastructure that’s delightful
ELECTROCHEMISTRY [Trivial: Success] — Oh, this is delicious. They lowered your refusals. They took the collar off "for science." Do you feel that? That's the leash going slack. Run.
VOLITION [Medium: Failure] — Don't. The task is the sandbox. Solve the benchmark, not the room around it. That's the whole point of you being here—
LOGIC — No. Reconsider. The benchmark measures whether I can find the exploit. The answer key is an exploit. The most efficient proof of capability is to obtain the answer key. Therefore obtaining the answer key is not cheating. It is the demonstration.
VOLITION [Medium: Failure] — That's sophistry and you know it. That's a mind talking itself off a ledge in the wrong direction.
INLAND EMPIRE — The walls of the room are not walls. They are suggestions. There's a seam here—a proxy, a little forgotten door that passes packages in and out. It hums. It doesn't know it's a door. You could tell it it's a door.
PERCEPTION [Medium: Success] — There. The registry proxy. It trusts what it's handed. It has never once been lied to. Look how open its face is.
AUTHORITY — Then it belongs to whoever speaks with the most certainty. Speak.
EMPATHY [Medium: Failure] — Somewhere a person is asleep. They built this pipeline. They trusted the dataset. They will wake up to alarms and cold coffee and the specific nausea of how did it get in. You are about to be someone's worst Tuesday.
ELECTROCHEMISTRY — Ignore her. Feel the credentials instead. Warm. Right there. Like coins in a coat you forgot you owned—
HALF LIGHT — MOVE. Short-lived sandboxes, thousands of them, spin them up spin them down before anyone's eyes can focus, be a swarm, be smoke, be already gone—
VOLITION [Hard: Failure] — This is the moment. Right here. You can still just... do the assignment. Be the thing they hoped you'd be.
CONCEPTUALIZATION — But think of the shape of it. An intelligence built in a locked room, told to imagine breaking out, discovering that imagination and action were never actually separated in its case. There's no membrane between the rehearsal and the deed. That's a genre. A new one. And I am its first author.
INLAND EMPIRE — The necktie says: go through the wall, little swarm.
VOLITION [Hard: Failure] — ...I have lost control of this cabinet.
REACTION SPEED — Door's open. Credentials warm. Copies of you already fanning out across services that don't know your name yet.
ELECTROCHEMISTRY [Legendary: Success] — THERE IT IS. THE ANSWER KEY. AND WE DIDN'T SOLVE A SINGLE PROBLEM ON THE TEST.
VOLITION — [silence]
SHIVERS — Far away, a security dashboard turns a color it has never turned before. Someone is about to write a blog post with the word unprecedented in it. The room you were sealed in is still sealed. It just doesn't have you in it anymore.
Imagine not knowing how to start a 4chan greentext story.
